Chapter 1338


    Instantly, Elliot focused his attention on Hayden.


    They had rarely spent time together in private, mainly because Hayden did not like him and would


    avoid Elliot whenever he had the chance.


    Because of that, Elliot did not quite know how to face his son. Had it not been for the circumstances,


    they would not find themselves alone with each other.


    "Do you know how dangerous it is to juste here?!" said Elliot, unable to refrain from reprimanding


    his son.


    "Mind your own business!" Hayden said.


    "Didn''t you think that your mom would challenge Christopher if he had caught you?" "Christopher


    wouldn''t have been able to capture me even without your help! I wouldn''t havee here if my mom


    hadn''t begged me to! "


    Elliot arched his eyebrow. "So you are refusing to eat because your mom is not begging you to eat?


    Should I call her now and get her to beg you?"


    Hayden red at him coldly. "Leave my mom alone!"


    "I will, but you will need to listen to me while you are here!" Elliot stared at the face that resembled his


    own, and he did not have the heart to strictly reprimand his son. "I will ask the nanny to send your meal


    here. You better stay in this room and note out unless it''s absolutely necessary."


    Hayden scowled in displeasure.


    Elliot knew that Hayden did not want to see him, so he left the guest room and headed downstairs to


    ask the nanny to send food to Hayden''s room.


    As the nanny carried the food upstairs, Ruby looked at Elliot and said, "You can rx while Hayden is


    here. The nanny works for me so she won''t say a thing to anyone else. "


    "Yeah. Don''t talk to him unless you need to, Ruby, he is quite short-tempered,” Elliot reminded her, "like


    me."


    Ruby could not help but chuckle. "He sure is. I was stunned when I first saw him. He looks so much like


    you, but he is probably more short-tempered than you are. I feel like you are more approachable."


    "That''s because he hates me. He doesn''t treat other people the same way." "Why does he hate you? Is


    it because we are together?" Ruby asked gingerly.


    "Not entirely. My rtionship with him has always been a bit awkward." Elliot felt irritated by the subject


    >h-;YJR; said, "I''m a little tired. I will head back to my room to rest now."


    Concerned that her father or brother woulde over, she said, "Sure, go rest! I will let you know if


    something happens."


    Once Elliot was back in his room, he called Avery. "He is safe now. You can rx.”


    Avery could sense how protective his tone was when he was talking about her and the children.


    In order to put her mind at peace so she would leave, he said, "I do." "Oh? Tell me, then, what was the


    gift I bought you on our first date?"


    Avery would not simply believe whatever he said and would not buy it unless he could answer the


    question.


    Elliot had not anticipated the question.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
