Chapter 1646


    Avery set his phone down and went back to bed.


    Her mind sank into chaos as she discovered that though Elliot had promised her that he would not acknowledge the child as his,


    his best friend was trying to take the child away from Ruby in private.


    “How ironic," she thought, "it''s a shame that Ruby doesn’t want to hand the child over. | wonder if she would cave if it was Elliot


    doing the asking."


    Avery''s heart felt as though it had been pricked by countless needles. She had thought that she and Elliot had ovee all


    difficulties, and hand in hand, they would not break no matter whaty ahead. She had not imagined that it was all just an illusion


    and that they were dreaming of different things.


    Avery could not sleep. Shey awake and stared out the window until the ink-dark sky slowly turned white. Her eyes felt sore,


    but the ache in her heart had not subsided. She closed her eyes and forced herself to go back to sleep.


    At seven in the morning, Elliot woke up and nced at Avery by reflex.


    She was deeply asleep, probably too exhausted from the day before.


    He picked up his phone and saw the message from Ben.


    [I just tested Ruby by asking her if | can take Ivy with me so that she could start fresh. Damn, she literally exploded!]


    Half an hour after the message, Ben had sent a few other messages.


    [I told her to date, Paul. Not only did she refuse to listen, but she felt insulted and chased me out of her ce! | am heading to


    the airport now, and I’m on my way back to Aryadelle!]


    [By the way, | forgot to tell you that despite having booked myself a hotel room, Ruby asked me to stay at her ce so it’s easier


    for me to see Ivy. You have no idea how cute Ivy is! If no one had told me that Ruby was the mother, | would definitely have


    thought that Ivy belonged to you and Avery! She looks so much like La! | took a lot of photos; I''ll show them to you when | get


    back.]


    The two messages were received afterward so Avery did not see them.


    Elliot read all the messages and nced at Avery.


    Ben said that Ivy looked like she was Avery :b#?ULW; his. If only that was true, there would not be any conflict surrounding the


    child.


    Unfortunately, fate did not always work in people''s favor.


    He got out of bed to wash up before heading downstairs for breakfast. When he went back up again, Avery was still deeply
