Chapter 2213


    I''m d that you feel that way, Hayden. I can feel how you''ve grown, and though I''m happy for you,


    I feel kind of sad as well because I know I won''t be able to shield you from everything from now on.


    At some point, you will leave me and fly off."


    "Mom, no matter where I am, I will alwayse back to you when you need me."


    "I don''t need you to worry about me. Just be happy, do what you love most and meet people who


    share your dream... Just like how you are deciding to not interfere with my life decisions, I will do


    the same."


    Avery returned to her room with relief after talking to Hayden and found La lying on her bed with


    her doll, looking at her with a drowsy smile.


    "Mommy, have you talked to Hayden?"


    "Yeah." Avery walked toward the bed and looked at La with a gentle smile. "Your brother hasn''t


    been able to make peace with your dad throughout the years, and I wanted them to stop acting like


    they were strangers or enemies."


    "And what did Hayden say?" La batted her eyes curiously.


    "I felt it when your brother helped to look for Elliot, but I think your brother has slowly let his guard


    down. Even though he doesn''t let it show that he cares, at least he is not treating your dad like an


    enemy." Avery patted her daughter on the head. "You still need to go to school tomorrow, right? Go


    to sleep. I will go take a shower first. Don''t wait up."


    "Okay."


    Avery took her pajamas and phone into the bathroom.


    She should have been exhausted as she had not slept at all on the ne, but she felt excited after


    seeing Elliot and her children, so not only was she not sleepy at all, she was filled with energy and


    even felt like drinking.


    She filled the bathtub with hot water and took off her clothes. The moment she soaked herself, any


    exhaustion she felt faded.


    She nced at the phone and looked at the time.


    It was three in the morning, and it would be daytime soon in a few hours time.


    Reminded of something, she unlocked her phone and searched for Sebastian''s contact to view their


    past conversation. Back then, she did not have much of an impression of Sebastian, but after all


    that had happened, Sebastian was no longer a stranger to her. He had helped her multiple times,


    and if it wasn''t for him, she would have never managed to find Elliot so quickly.


    She sent him a message. [I''m back in Aryadelle.]


    It was during the day in Bridgedale, so Sebastian saw her message almost right away. [I heard.]


    [From who?]


    [My dad.]


    [Oh, did your dad send someone to watch me while I''m in Bridgedale?]


    [Not really. You have too many bodyguards, so if he tries to do that, your bodyguards will find out.


    My dad is a shareholder of Time Travel Airlines, so as soon as you board a flight operated by them,


    he will find out.]


    [Your dad has been investing in all sorts of things.]


    [Same goes with Elliot, right? It''s too risky to put all your eggs in one basket.]


    [What else did he say to you?]


    [Nothing much. His focus has shifted away from you and Elliot because he realized he is no match


    for the two of you. Right now, he is focusing on his new project and finding Natalie. He already got


    his 2.1 billion back, but he still hates her guts.]


    [Sebastian, your dad''s project is not going to seed.]


    Sebastian stared at the message, and for a moment, he didn''t know how to reply.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
