Chapter 1769


    La had told him that she intended to be away for a month and a half. He had told her the max


    she could be away for was half a month.


    He had not yelled at her. He had only informed her of how long he wasfortable letting her out of


    his sight. La had cried endlessly and thrown many tantrums.


    After sending Shea back to the Brooks, Elliot drove home.


    When he reached home, the snow had stopped. The courtyard was covered in ayer of white,


    adding some brightness to the night.


    Avery liked building snowmen. If she was here, she would surely pull him out to the courtyard to


    build snowmen.


    This thought suddenly came to him, unbidden. Elliot could not help but furrow his brows.

    Entering the mansion, he stood by the door to change his shoes.


    Mrs. Cooper walked over and said, "Master Elliot, La has left. Eric came to pick her up an hour


    ago."


    "Did the bodyguard go with her?"


    "Yes," Mrs. Cooper said. "I''m worried that if La is allowed to be away for so long, she will just get


    more and more rebellious."


    La did not say where she was going, but everyone knew that she was going to Bridgedale to see


    Avery.


    Elliot did not want to think about the problem that had not arisen yet.


    "Where is Robert?" He changed his shoes and entered the living area.


    "He is asleep. Initially, Eric wanted to take Robert along too, but I refused," Mrs. Cooper said. "It''s


    too cold in the winter. Bridgedale is even colder. What if Robert catches a cold?"


    Elliot walked over to Robert''s room to check up on him.


    "Master Elliot, why don’t you head to Bridgedale to see Hayden?" Mrs. Cooper followed behind him.


    "Hayden won''te looking for you, but you could go see him. No matter what, he is still your son


    after all


    "He won''t see me." Elliot was aware of that. "I don''t need to make him unhappy."


    He did not appear in front of Hayden, and they could still maintain a calm state. If he went to look for


    Hayden, he was only humiliating himself.


    "Okay! Master Elliot, it''s almost the New Year. Do you have any ns?" Mrs. Cooper asked.


    "No ns." Elliot felt that La would most likely not be back for the New Year. By then, it would


    only be him >g$;TLY< Robert spending New Year''s together.


    Coming out of Robert''s room, he returned to his bedroom.


    A calendar was ced on the nightstand. He picked up the calendar to see how many days were


    left until the new year. He only allowed La to go for half a month, but New Year''s was in ten days,


    so La will not be spending New Year''s with him.


    He held the calendar and did not move. It was as if his soul had been emptied and his body was


    just a shell.


    In a blink of an eye, two years had passed.


    At Bridgedale, because Avery had been outstanding while doing her doctoral degree, she had


    completed her degree one year earlier.


    That night, she treated her supervisor and colleagues to a meal.


    "Avery, what do you n to do next? Are you nning to head to the hospital or college? Or to


    research centers?" Someone asked her.


    Everyone looked at her, waiting for her response.


    Avery said with a smile, "I haven''t thought about this yet. "
