Chapter 1847


    "She wants to sell me the jewelry." Avery set the box onto the coffee table and extended her hand


    toward Elliot. "Give me the receipt."


    Elliot nced at the receipt and saw that the jewelry was worth ten million. It was not a small


    amount.


    "I will pay herter..."

    "She sold it to me, not you." Avery stepped toward him and snatched the receipt from his hand. "Ten


    million... It''s generous of her to spend so much as a gift for La. Does she always spend so much


    on La?"


    Elliot shook his head. "No. She gave La a dressst year, and I saw the price of it. It was just fifty


    thousand or so!" "Fifty thousand?! Do you consider that as cheap? It''s a wonder that you are willing


    to ept such an expensive gift for your children!" Avery red at him.


    He pursed his lips, not knowing how to respond. La was the one who had epted the gift, not


    him, and he only went to check on the price after La had epted the gift.


    "Mommy, I was the one who epted the birthday present she got mest year. The dress was


    really pretty and I didn''t think it was expensive..." La was not aware that the dress had cost fifty


    thousand.


    "It''s okay. It''s done, and I''m sure your dad sent her a return gift." Avery sucked in a breath and


    walked toward La with the receipt. "La, take a look at the jewelry. If you like it, then I will pay


    Natalieter." La opened the box for a nce. She had thought that the jewelry looked beautiful


    in the photo and though that remained true in reality, La was no longer as fond of it.


    "Mommy, it''s too expensive... I don''t want it. " La did not want Avery to spend so much money on


    her and closed the box after taking one look.


    "Darling, it''s fine. So long as you like it, I can afford it." Avery opened the box again." Let me put this


    on for you. Try it on."


    "It''s ten million! That''s so much money and that''s enough to buy a lot more jewelry," La said and


    turned to her father. "Daddy, you pay."


    Elliot hummed in agreement and immediately made a transaction of ten million to Natalie.


    "Elliot Foster, I said I can afford it. Who are you trying to undermine?" Avery spoke sarcastically at


    his action. "I will pay you backter. This is my gift to my daughter, > a"?RLU? I am going to pay for


    it myself."


    Elliot stilled. "Didn''t we talk everything out?


    "Have I epted your exnation?" she retorted. "Even if you are not lying, and I''ve indeed


    misunderstood you, we are still divorced. Even family members have to set boundaries, and we are


    not a family anymore. We are not rted in any way."


    Seeing that she was insistent, he said, "Pay me back then."


    "Yeah." Avery helped La with putting the jewelry on and brought her toward the mirror. "Darling,


    you look amazing with this. I earn money to spend it, so don’t worry about the price. I can afford it."


    "But you don''t have a job right now. What if I end up spending all your money?” La muttered.


    "I know my limits," Avery said and nced at the door, before lowering her voice. "I have money.


    Don’t tell your dad, though, it''s my secret."


    La gaped in awe. "Okay, Mommy. I won''t tell him."


    "Okay. Now, tell me again, do you like this piece of jewelry?"


    "I like it!" La beamed. "But Mommy, Daddy said that you two have talked everything out. Did you


    really? Have you misunderstood Daddy?"


    "Your dad came clean, but I don''t know if what he said was true. If I ept his exnation,


    something just doesn’t feel right within me. I don''t want to blindly believe what he said, but I don''t


    resent him as much now." Avery did not want her conflict with Elliot to affect the children." La, if


    you think that he''s a good father, then don''t hate him just because of me."


    "That depends on his performance!" La said. "I think he is trying to pursue you again."
