Chapter 1627
"I''m worried that Hayden would find me annoying," Adrian said shyly.
“How could he possibly find you annoying? He doesn’t like taking naps," said Avery, consoling Adrian, before turning back to
Lilith. "Hayden is in Robert''s room. Take Adrian there."
Once they left, Avery was about to walk toward Ben, but he noticed her from afar and approached her.
His head was spinning but he knew that Avery would find the opportunity to talk to him, so he waited in the hall. Worried that
Elliot would find out that he was talking to Avery, he asked, "Where''s Elliot?"
"He is drinking tea with the guests," she said. "What did Ruby say in her messages?
Can you show them to me?"Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
Ben knew she would ask to see it, so he took his phone out to show her. He had deleted the photo of Ruby''s child and only
showed Avery what Ruby said about her child getting sick and that she wanted Elliot to name her daughter.
“Elliot doesn''t want to name the kid, so the name | sent was my idea," Ben exined. " Just think of the name as me taking pity
on the kid.”
Ben had named her Ivy Foster and added, "I named her Ivy because | want her to grow as fast and strong as the nt itself."
"You take pity on her." Avery handed the phone back to him and mumbled, "But what about me?"
"| Knew you would get angry, which is why | didn''t want to tell you about it. Elliot wants nothing to do with the baby and even
med me for telling him this," Ben said with resignation. "You two have your own decisions to make, but so do 1.1 wouldn''t
have mentioned all this to you if you hadn''t asked."
"Why give her the Foster name? It’s like you want to motivate her intoing to look for Elliot in the future." Avery shivered. "I
can empathize if Ruby was the one who named her this, but why are you siding with her?"
Ben was rendered speechless by her question. He had given the child the Foster name because she was Eliot''s child, after all.
Avery might not be able to ept that, but Ben could.
“Avery, you can’t force your point of view on me simply because you hate Ruby. I''m not Elliot! | helped name that kid because
she is Elliot''s child. So long as that child refers to me as her uncle, | will treat her like my niece."
Avery felt as though someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water onto her. Once she knew what he was truly thinking, she
clenched her fists :e''?WWMX> turned to leave.
"It''s fine if you want to keep Elliot
under control, but why poke your
nose in other people''s busingss31\\
ery, dan pvoutink you are
overstepping your boundaries here? "
Ben said coldly. "With the way you
are behaving now, Elliot won''t dare to
do anything, and | will never let you
meet that child!" Please read the

She reyed every word Ben had said in her mind repeatedly and finally realized that she could not control anyone other than
Elliot.
In the hall, Ben reached up to rub his
face after Avery left. He had drunk
too much before noon and c uldinat

dazed and could barely remember
what he had said to Avery. All he
remembered was the disappointed
look in Avery''s eyes when she left.

He wanted to confess everything to Elliot but was worried that he might enrage Elliot. In the end, he decided to go for a nap and
apologize to Avery after that.
Avery did not know how long she remained in the washroom, but when she finally came out, she ran into Elliot, who was
anxiously looking around for her.
