Chapter 1172


    "Oh, is your charger broken? I have a charger with me. I''ll get it for you..."


    "No need." Elliot''s charger was not broken. He just did not want to charge his phone. His phone ran out


    of battery from listening to the recording of Avery. He listened to the recording the entire afternoon.


    At that moment, as long as he heard anything that had to do with Avery, Adrian, and Henry, his heart


    hurt. He also felt nauseated.


    Chad could not help but ask, "Mr. Foster, what is happening between you and Avery this time?"


    "Don’t ask things you’re not supposed to ask. Don''t tell things that you’re not supposed to tell." Elliot


    looked at Chad coldly.


    Chad immediately shut up. "I got it. Are you returning home tonight? If you''re not returning, I’ll go get


    you dinner right now."


    "I haven''t thought about it."


    "If you don''t return her calls, I think she’lle to the office to look for youter, " Chad reminded Elliot,


    "You have never left her hanging before. She would surely think likewise."


    "It''s because I have never left her hanging, so she always did not care about my feelings." Elliot''s gaze


    was cold. His tone was even colder. "Previously, when I fought with Henry, I was not even afraid. But


    right now, I''m tired."


    He was not tired. He was sick of it.


    He thought about how he had been taken advantage of since birth. At that moment, he was sessful


    and famous. He thought he had control over everything. He thought that he had found true love and a


    home, yet he still could not escape being taken advantage of!


    Avery had said more than once that she would not lie to him anymore. He had once believed her.


    At that moment, the facade had been torn apart, rearing its ugly side!


    He was sick of it!


    Chad had never seen Elliot so depressed.


    When he was angry, whether it was a fullblown temper or ice-cold revenge, Chad had seen it all. He


    had only never seen Elliot calling it quits.


    Chad wanted to know what had happened between him and Avery, but he knew that asking Elliot once


    more would not get him an answer.


    Also, Elliot had already told him not to ask things that he should not ask or tell things that he was not


    supposed to tell.


    Chad not only could not ask him what had happened, but he could not tell what was happening to


    others too.


    At Elliot''s mansion.


    Avery :g(=SIP; La were sitting by the dining table having their dinner.


    "Mommy, our house is so empty!" Lamented, "Uncle Mike is no longer staying with us. Hayden is


    not here either. Daddy has gone back to work. Maybe he was going to workte daily. My ssmate


    told me that she could only see her father three times a month because her father has to go on trips


    frequently."


    Avery said, "Your daddy won’t be like that. Even if he has to workte, he will return home." "But if he


    either." La puffed her cheeks. "My ssmate says that her father has an affair with another woman,


    which is why he rarely returns home."


    Avery was stunned by what La said.


    "La, your father is not that type of person."


    "I do hope that he isn''t that type of person. If not, I''ll be sad. You''ll be sad too. Hayden would hate him


    even more." La sniffled her nose. "Why don''t you call Daddy after dinner. Get him toe back


    earlier."


    Avery said, "I have already called Uncle Chad. He said that Daddy would surely return our call once he


    is less busy. If he doesn''t return my call, that means he is already on the way home."


    "Oh." La was relieved. "Mommy, when are you going to see Hayden? It''s almost my summer break!"


    Avery thought for a while. "When you''re on your break, we can see him whenever we want."


    La was excited. She ced her utensils down and ran out of the dining hall.


    Avery saw how happy La was. She picked her phone up to check if Elliot had replied to her


    messages.

    Sure enough, he still had not replied to her.


    It had been half an hour since the call she made to Chad.


    Logically speaking, Chad should have already passed on the message to Elliot. Why had Elliot not


    replied to her yet?


    Whether it was a message or a call, as long as she did not receive an answer from him, she started to


    worry.


    She dialed his number once more. What replied to her was still the automated system.
