Chapter 2136


    "If you call her now, she might just run away," Elliot joked.


    Chad could not help but chuckle. "You know her well."


    "If I still don''t know her despite everything that has happened, I would be a fool."


    "What are you going to do, Mr. Foster? Dean has lost Ang and poses no threat to you, so we


    don''t have to hold back."


    "I won''t go easy on him, of course." The look in Elliot''s eyes darkened. "Even if he is still a threat to


    me, I''m not afraid of him. I''d rather handle all these people before I die instead of just surviving."


    Chad frowned; his heart dropped from the word ''die''. "I thought Avery talked to youst night." "I


    talked to her, and she promised to not do anything that will enrage me again," Elliot said casually. "I


    will give her another chance."


    Chad had thought that Avery would lecture Elliot so that he would not throw away his life, but to his


    surprise, it was Avery who was lectured.


    In the mansion, Avery was supposed to meet with the five experts she had hired before officially


    beginning the research on the device, but she had been up all night after hitting Hayden.


    She got out of bed early in the morning, wanting to apologize to Hayden. He, however, did not want


    to hear her apology.


    Hayden remained inside his room even after Elliot had gone outside, so Avery could only wait


    patiently in the living room.


    At nine in the morning, Peter called and asked her when she would be meeting them and that was


    when she summoned the courage to knock on Hayden''s door.


    She pushed the door open and nced inside. She had thought that she would see Hayden


    sleeping on his bed but was surprised to find him sitting in front of his desk, ying video games.


    She immediately walked over to him.


    "Hayden, are you hungry? I brought you your breakfast." She set a ss of milk and a te of


    sandwiches on his desk. "I''m sorry, Hayden. I was wrong. No matter how mad I was, I shouldn’t


    have hit you. I shouldn''t have done that," she said while ncing at Hayden''s left cheek, the side


    that she had hit.


    Wilson followed Hayden outside the night before and helped buy some ointment from the drugstore


    for his cheek. Thanks to the ointment, his cheek was only slightly bruised.


    "I''m still mad at you, Mom. Don''t talk to me just yet." Hayden pouted.


    Knowing how her son must feel, she did not intend on forcing the matter on him." Remember to eat


    your breakfast, then. I will go out to work now. I''ming home in the evening. Call me or Mike if


    you need anything," she reminded him.

    "Alright."


    Hayden was still sensible even when he was angry and Avery felt horrible.


    As she stepped out of Hayden''s room, she went to the nanny and said, "If Hayden remains in his


    room until noon, remember


    to bring him lunch.”
