Chapter 1890


    Chad agreed with Elliot''s idea, but judging from the look on his face, Chad could not help but feel


    like Elliot would mess it up. Elliot looked as though he was about to go and beat Avery or Billy up


    and whichever he ended up doing would still enrage Avery.


    "Mr. Foster, eat something." Chad scooped a spoonful of food and ced it on his te. "Why didn''t


    you call Ben along?"


    Elliot knew that Chad did not have a high tolerance for alcohol, and his head was already beginning


    to spin after drinking merely one ss.


    "He is with Lilith."


    "Oh... How are things moving along between them?" Chad asked. "Thest time I talked to him, he


    was still saying how he


    had been renderedpletely helpless!"


    "Lilith has given up her job in Bridgedale and hase back to Aryadelle to further her career, so I


    don''t think their rtionship would change."


    "I guess! Lilith has always been quite clear with what she wants. I''m happy for Ben." Chad noticed


    the dark look on Elliot''s face and his smile immediately faded. "Mr.


    Foster, how are you nning to take Avery away?"


    "I have my ways." Elliot had a detailed n in mind.


    "La and Robert haven’t started school yet, and if you take Avery away against her will..."


    "Do I look that stupid to you?" Naturally, Elliot did not n on kidnapping Avery, and he had never


    treated her recklessly, past or present.


    "It''s not that, Mr. Foster... You just look like you''ve had a bit too much to drink..."


    "I''m not drunk!" Elliot’s eyes red with rage. "Just go! I don’t want to drink anymore."


    Chad gulped down the wine in his ss guiltily. "I''ll drink with you for a while longer, Mr. Foster. Why


    isn''t there anyone in your house? Where are the kids?" Chad looked around him.


    "They went out."


    "Why didn''t they bring you along?" Chad felt sorry that Elliot was left to drink alone at home. "La


    can''t be that insensitive, right?"


    If Elliot had been slightly drunk earlier, he definitely sobered at Chad''s words.


    "They went to a water park. Why would they bring me along?"


    "Oh," Chad muttered awkwardly. "So when are you going to act? Do you need my help?"


    "The biggest help you can offer is to not try =e):TMU; talk me out of it."


    "Mr. Foster, I do want you to get back together with Avery. If I were Cupid, I would fire all my arrows


    and the both of you so that you were bonded for life. No one else would be able to tear you apart."


    Elliot said nothing about Chad''s statement.


    Elliot''s urge to drink emerged again at Chad''s words.


    An hourter, Mrs. Cooper brought La and Robert home and caught the scent of alcohol in the


    air as soon as they stepped into the living room.


    La hurried toward the dining room and noticed her father drinking, while Chad leaned his head


    against the table, seemingly asleep.


    "Dad! What are you doing?" La walked toward Elliot and scowled while staring at his flushed


    cheeks. "Why are you drinking?


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Elliot had not drunk much. Chad fell asleep three sses into the bottle they opened, and Elliot had


    decided to simply finish the bottle. He went out to make a call and took another call, so it took him


    some time to finish the wine.


    "I..." Elliot struggled toe up with an excuse. "Uncle Chad came over for dinner so I had a few


    drinks with him."


    The frown on La''s face eased. "I see! Did something good happen? Uncle Chad


    passed out."


    "Yeah. He is going on a holiday."
