Chapter 1688


    Avery answered the phone and heard Elliot''s low and slightly anxious voice." Avery. La and Robert are both crying. Please


    don''t go, okay?"


    “What do you take me for? A nanny? " Avery shot back. "If you don''t want La and Robert to be sad, you can give me custody


    of them. If you agree, I''ll go over right now and pick them up."


    Elliot''s breathing became heavier on the other side of the phone.


    He had a lot of things to say to her, but her attitude made it difficult for him to say them.


    "I''m about to board the ne," Avery''s heart started to count down the time. "Are you going to give me the children or not?


    You can always find some other woman after that and have as many children as you want..."


    The more Elliot listened, the angrier he became.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Avery was insulting him to no end, and she did not even need to use any expletives.


    His face be ashen, then pale, while his body could not stop shaking at all.


    When he was about to hang up, he felt as if his fingers were frozen stiff.


    He pressed the red icon several times before managing to end the call.


    Avery took a deep breath and adjusted her mood when she heard the call being ended by the person on the other end of the


    line.


    Elliot refused her request, which she interpreted as him calling her to ask if she could go back and live life like normal as if


    nothing had happened between them.


    She did not know whether to call him naive or smart.


    Back at Starry River Vi, Elliot hung up the phone with a cold expression on his face.


    He hurried downstairs and took Robert from Mrs. Cooper''s arms.


    Robert was not crying anymore, but his eyes were red and swollen because he was crying too much. The crying fit also caused


    his body to twitch from time to time.


    "Do you have a spare key at home? La locked the door." Elliot said to Mrs. Cooper," Go andfort her."


    Mrs. Cooper nodded and went to find the spare key.


    Chad could not help but sigh when he saw Elliot holding Robert. "You''re lucky that Robert is still young, unlike La and


    Hayden. | can''t even begin to imagine what will happen if he''s the same age as them."


    "They can cry a river for all | care. | won''t give Avery custody of them." Elliot''s heart had be harder than a rock after it had


    been broken.


    "Why don''t you let me hold Robert while you get some rest." Chad saw that Elliot was tired >c,


    Elliot shook his head. "I''ll rest when La calms down."


    "| don''t think she''ll be able to ept


    what happened anytime soon."
