Chapter 1786


    Nick became friends with Avery through Elliot, so it was only natural for Nick not to prioritize what


    Avery told him.


    If he listened to Avery rather than telling Elliot about her visit to Ylore, someone else would


    eventually tell Elliot about it.


    Nick did not want Elliot to know about it from anyone else!


    "You went to Bridgedale?" Elliot carried Robert downstairs.


    Mrs. Cooper immediately took Robert when she heard Elliot''s voice.


    Elliot went upstairs again with his cell phone.


    "Do you think I''d have the energy to go to Bridgedale? I just came back from a business trip, and


    Avery came before I even managed to get a day of rest!" Nickughed. "I honestly thought I was


    dreaming when I woke up this morning and saw her at my house!”


    Nick deliberately exaggerated how shocked he was at the incident but did not mention a single


    detail of Avery''s purpose foring to him.


    Elliot could sense that it was a bit strange, so he lowered his ego and asked in a deep voice, "Why


    did shee looking for you?"


    "You might not believe me if I say it, but... she came to me to ask about Ivy." Nick narrowed his


    foxlike eyes and asked, "Did you continue to look for Ivy after you returned to the country? Were


    you able to find any clues?"


    "She went to you to ask about Ivy?" Elliot asked, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down in his


    throat. He began to feel even weirded out and prodded further, "What for?Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    "You haven''t answered my question yet. Answer mine and I''ll answer yours." Nick was in no rush.


    "I haven''t found Ivy." After hesitating for a few seconds, Elliot asked again, "What exactly does


    Avery n on doing?"


    Nick stopped going around in circles and said, "She told me that she has been having nightmares


    recently. She dreamt that Ivy asked her for help, so she came over and wanted to find Ivy. Can that


    story be trusted?"


    Elliot replied without hesitation, "No."


    Avery had such a strong hatred for Ruby and Ivy that their divorce would not have happened if not


    for them.


    There was no reason for her to ask about Ivy just because of a nightmare, =b(=SLV: it seemed


    more likely that she came to Ivy for another purpose.


    "I haven''t been in contact with her for nearly three years. She might''ve changed," Elliot corrected


    himself after a brief silence


    "I don''t feel that way, though. She seems the same as before, to me. But..." Nick paused.


    Elliot had just reached the door of the master bedroom but stopped when there was a pause in


    Nick''s sentence.


    He tried to figure out the reason for Avery''s actions.


    "When we were talking about Ivy this morning, she couldn''t help herself from crying," Nick


    recounted that unusual moment from earlier. "She seemed extremely sad, more so than you were


    even though you''re Ivy''s biological father."


    Elliot frowned. "Are you telling the truth?"


    It was outrageous to think that Avery would cry for Ivy!


    "Why would I lie to you about that? I asked her why, and she said that Ivy and La look so alike


    that she suspects Ivy to be her daughter. She wants to find Ivy and do a maternity test," Nick


    exined.


    "But Ivy can''t be found," Elliot strode into the master bedroom. "Why would she suspect that right


    now? Why didn''t she suspect it in the past?"


    "I don''t know, but maybe Ivy really did haunt her dreams. I tried putting myself in her shoes and


    realized that it''s quite horrifying to have the same nightmare every day."
