Chapter 1546
Elliot took his phone back. "I haven''t told Avery this yet. | figure | can wait for a while.”
“Wait for what, exactly?” Ben was already slightly drunk, but he hadpletely sobered up.
“For the baby to grow and see if her looks would change," Elliot said. "Why would my child with Ruby look like La?"Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
"Yeah! | am confused about that as well! Anyone who has eyes would be able to tell how much La resembles Avery. Your
daughter with Ruby Gould might look like you, or like Ruby, but she couldn''t possibly look like Avery!" Ben could not help but
m his palm against the table.
"Don''t tell Avery about this, or anyone else for that matter," Elliot reminded him. "| promised Avery that | would never go to Ylore
or contact Ruby again. If | am to keep that promise, | shouldn''t even mention Ruby or that child.”
The more he drank the more awake Elliot felt. Every time he thought of how much that child resembled La, his heart felt
heavy.
“Rx, | will keep my mouth shut." Ben set the bottle of wine aside and poured himself a ss of warm water. "| suddenly don''t
feel like drinking anymore."
"Why not?"
"Who is going to console you if I''m drunk? Besides, how am | supposed to get home if I''m drunk?" Ben said with resignation."
Seeing how you are doing right now, you are probably going to need a few more drinks. | might even have to call Avery to pick
you up.”
Elliot immediately set his ss down. "She is probably asleep by now. We went straight to Jed''s house afternding, and she
didn''t sleep on the ne."
"| would feel guilty too if | was her,” Ben said.
"Jed''s parents don''t me her."
“Of course, they wouldn''t. No one knew why Jed was killed!" Ben changed the subject back to Ruby''s child. "You said you can''t
go to Ylore. Does that include when Ruby gives birth? Also no?"
Elliot did not answer his question. He simply gave him the look.
“Alright, that means no. Avery will be mad if you go." Ben shrugged. "If you want to check that kid out, | can go to your ce
without anyone knowing. Once I''m there, | can take a photo ;b'';WLX< perform a paternity test for you. How about that?" "It''s too
early to be thinking about that."
"It''s not early. Ruby will be giving birth in a couple of months. Who knows if that baby actually looks like La until someone sees
it with their own eyes?" Ben was quite eager to see the baby for himself. "Maybe you cane to Bridgedale then. | can get
Ruby and the baby here to meet with you."
Elliot thought that it was a ridiculous n." If | want to see that baby, | will take Avery with me to see her."
“As if. You don''t even dare mention this to Avery, how are you supposed to take Avery to see the baby you share with Ruby?"
said Ben. "Do you really think that Avery can take it? No matter how understanding she seems, do you really think that she
doesn''t care? Even the words Ruby Gould'' probably disgusts her."
Elliot pursed his lips.
"Let''s just do it your way and wait for
the baby to grow to see if she looks,
different." Seeing hauegloonty Eliot

worry. Ruby''s baby can only look like
you or her, but not Avery. Please read

"Yeah."
"If the baby actually looks like Avery, it has to be some kind of mutation!" Ben chuckled.
“Mutation? Is that even possible?"
"I''m just making that up. How would |
know?" Ben rubbed his chin ansaid

"It''s up to you." Elliot could not stop him. "Say, if | call Lilith and ask her toe and pick me upter, will she ignore me?" Ben
suddenly felt like drinking again.
"| don''t know. You can try. If she ignores you, | can take you back to my ce," Elliot said.
"Okay, let me try." Ben picked up the
bottle with excitement and poure
