Chapter 1184


    Avery and La returned home more than an hourter.


    They bought a lot of saplings and flowers from the market.


    The bodyguard opened the trunk and carried everything out of the car.


    Mrs. Cooper came out with Robert in her arms and nced at their haul. "That’s a lot of flowers you


    bought! They''re so beautiful."


    "I chose them, and Mommy chose the saplings!" La seemed to have forgotten her unhappiness and


    had a bright smile in her eyes. "Mommy bought fruit saplings!"


    "What kind?" Mrs. Cooper asked.


    "She brought grapefruit, cherry, and... uh... what other saplings do we have?" La looked up at Avery.


    "Peach and pear," Avery added.


    "Yes! A peach tree and a pear tree! I like to eat peaches! So, Mommy bought a peach tree!" La lifted


    the bag of flowers excitedly. "I''m going to put them in a vase."


    "I''ve readied a couple of clean vases on the table. You''ll see them when you enter the house," Mrs.


    Cooper said to La. "Be careful not to prick yourself on the thorns when you take the flowers, La."


    "I will! I''ll be careful." La entered the vi with flowers.


    Avery was about to move the saplings to the open spaces in the yard when Mrs.


    Cooper said, "Master Elliot came back for a while after you went out with La." "He came back for a


    while?" Avery grasped the main point of her words. "And then he left?" "Yes. I tried to persuade him to


    stay but to no avail." Mrs. Cooper looked helpless. "But he hugged Robert today, though. And he felt


    bad that Robert was bitten by a mosquito. He still loves the child."


    "Of course he does. As bad as things are between us, the children never offended him," Avery said


    disappointedly. "Does he n to do this every day? Coming back quietly when I leave? What if I don''t


    go out then? Does that mean he''ll nevere back for the rest of his life?"


    "Well, he came back to hug Robert today. He’s probably here just to see the child.”


    "He makes me feel as if I''m taking away what''s rightfully his. He wouldn''t have to hide outside if I''m not


    here." Avery felt distressed. "Once I nt these saplings, I''ll bring the children back to my own house."


    Even though she realized she was wrong when she hid things from him, ;b-=UJY= she was willing to


    apologize to him and admit her mistake, but when he avoided her like that and prevented her from


    having a chance to speak, she became more and more apathetic.

    "Don''t be like that, Avery! Just wait a little longer..." Mrs. Cooper hurriedly persuaded her, "Give him


    some time. When he figures himself out, he''ll definitely talk to you again."


    "Chad said the same thing. He said that this whole thing with Elliot would have a conclusion by next


    week."


    "Yes, just wait until next week! Don''t move back for now." Mrs. Cooper nced at the saplings on the


    ground. "I''ll get you the tools. You can get started on nting these trees with La."


    At the Sterling Group, Harvey sat in Ben''s office and exined everything to thetter. Ben''s face


    soured immediately after hearing that.


    "You''re joking, right?" Ben frowned.


    Harvey said calmly, "I''m actually very busy, and if Elliot hadn''te to see me, I wouldn''t have toe


    here specifically to tell you this."


    "Haha! That''s impossible! Elliot won''t just give up all the shares that he holds!" Ben said angrily, "Henry


    only asked for one-third of the shares about half a month ago!"


    "I can exin why," Harvey said sinctly. "Elliot initially asked me to transfer one-third of his shares


    to Cole, but Cole inadvertently mentioned that he had negotiated with Avery to transfer the shares to


    Adrian."


    Ben was shocked to hear that!
