Chapter 1143


    "I get it!" Cole hung up.


    Avery held onto her phone and sighed heavily, hoping that Cole and Henry woulde to their senses;


    if Elliot got involved in this, there was no predicting how the situation would escte.


    She feared that the peacefulness in the present would disappear if the situation got out of hand; it took


    so much effort for them to ovee the torture they had been through on the day of their wedding and


    it had only been barely two weeks since they finally settled down. How could the gods be so cruel to


    them?


    She didn''t know how long it had been by the time Elliot came outside to look for her.


    He scowled when he spotted her squatting at the corner of the yard.


    "Avery, why are you squatting? Mrs. Cooper said you came outside to call Mike, why did it take so

    long?" He helped her up and continued, "Did you get into an argument with Mike?"


    She immediately clung to him and in a hoarse voice, she said, "Elliot, I feel a bit depressed."


    "Because we moved?" He cupped her face with his hands to look into her eyes. "What did Mike say?"


    "He''s just moved away, and right after that, we moved too." She felt like all the thoughts in her head


    were tangled up in a mess. "I can''t help but feel upset when I remember that Hayden is not by my side


    as well." "Isn''t he doing well overseas?" He wrapped his arm around her waist and consoled patiently,


    "It is necessary to let our kids see more of what the world has to offer if we want them to have a


    brighter future. They are never meant to remain by our sides forever, so you need to adjust yourself


    ordingly. As for Mike, you should just ignore him. He has his own life and it''s not our concern;


    neither is our lives his concern, for that matter."


    She regained herposure. "Yeah. Has La finished her homework?"


    "Yes. Mrs. Cooper has taken her for a shower."


    "Okay. Let''s go shower as well! You need to wake up early tomorrow to attend the parents'' meeting at


    school."


    "You go ahead." He grabbed her by the hand. "Your skin is a bit cool to the touch."


    "Okay."


    He walked her back to the master bedroom; b$?PNQ= immediately went out once she was inside the


    bathroom. He called Mike intending to teach him a lesson.


    It took a while for Mike to answer.


    "I was the one who decided to move, soe at me if you have a problem with it! Why vent your


    frustration on Avery?" He lowered his voice, but the anger in his tone was still incredibly distinct. "Is


    your life too peaceful right now, so you are itching for a beating?"


    Mike was confused. "F*ck! What the h*ll are you talking about? I don''t understand a word. When have I


    vented my frustration on Avery? You better exin or I am going over there to beat the crap out of


    you!"


    Elliot listened to his sharp shouts and scowled. "Didn''t youin to Avery when she called you just


    now? She curled into a ball all alone in the yard after talking to you on the phone."


    "Huh?!" Mike shouted even louder as he swiftly caught on. "She called me? Oh! I guess she did..."


    Mike was Avery’s friend, so naturally, he was supposed to help her with her lies.


    Elliot''s expression darkened and hung up.


    Mike’s reaction was too obvious and Elliot had noticed that something was wrong. He pushed through


    the bedroom door and walked towards the bed to grab Avery’s phone.


    He needed to see who she was talking to earlier.
