Chapter 1896


    Rage burned within her at his rejection. She should not have brought him an umbre and should


    have left him to walk through the rain without it. She should not have opened the door for him. Had


    he returned without seeing her, she would not be this enraged.

    Avery finally realized why La had decided not to tell Elliot before they arrived in Bridgedale. It


    was because La knew exactly what Elliot was like. However, it was toote for Avery to regret it


    since she had already let him in.


    Regardless, she was not going to simply tolerate him.


    "I only informed you because I didn’t want to fight. I am taking the kids to Bridgedale even if you say


    no!" Avery retorted. "This was La’s n. So if you still want to maintain a good rtionship with


    your daughter, you better leave us alone."


    Elliot studied her flushed cheeks and ignored her as he entered the living room.


    "There’s no point in running away from this conversation." Avery followed him. "I have the right to


    see them and I can take them wherever I want to so long as they return home to you in the end..."


    "Do you not care about Ivy?" Elliot sat on the couch and looked at her casually. "Pour me a ss of


    water. I''m thirsty."


    Avery stilled and thought, "Water? Ivy?"


    "What''s with Ivy? Did you manage to check that pit?" Avery immediately forgot that she was just


    shouting at him earlier and went to sit next to him.


    "I’m thirsty," he repeated calmly while studying the anxious look on her face.


    "Go pour yourself a ss, then, if you are thirsty!" Unable to stand his high and mighty act, she


    said, "Do you not know where the sses and the kettle are? Do you think that you are a guest


    here?"


    "If I''m not a guest, am I the owner of this house?" he said before getting up. "If that’s who you


    consider me to be, I can go pour my own ss of water."


    Defeated, she immediately pushed him down to the couch. "Be a guest, then!"


    She reluctantly went and returned shortly after with a ss of water.


    "Elliot, stop beating around the bushes >e(: PJX? tell me what''s going on with Ivy," demanded


    Avery, her heart sinking into her stomach. "Was she really in that pit?'' Elliot picked up the ss and


    sipped leisurely.


    "You seem too rxed, so I guess not. If that''s not the case, then what are you trying to say?" Avery


    felt the extreme urge to force his mouth open and pour the entire ss of water down his throat.


    Sensing that she was running out of patience, he set the ss down. "Don''t you want to see that pit


    for yourself?" he said." From what I heard the pit is soplicated that even the medical staff don''t


    have the skills to get all the bodies out in one piece."


    Avery straightened her back. "Where is that pit?"


    "In Ylore. The pit was used by the kidnappers that took Ivy to bury bodies. It wasn''t exposed until


    recently," he said. "I n on heading there, do you want toe with me?"


    "I do," Avery agreed without hesitation, choking slightly. "When are you departing?"


    "Tonight. Think it through. If you go, you will probably have to stay there for a while, so you won''t be


    able to take the kids to Bridgedale."


    Avery realized that that was the reason why he had refused to let her take the children to


    Bridgedale. It was because he was certain that she would follow him to Ylore to see the pit.


    "Elliot, can you get straight to the point in the future? If you had mentioned the pit at the very


    beginning, I wouldn''t have yelled at you." Avery flushed.


    "I told you I had something to tell you, and you were the one who wanted to go first,"


    Elliot said.


    Avery froze.
