Chapter 2247


    "Hayden, I have to admit that you are better than me." Using milk as a recement for wine, Elliot


    clinked his ss against Hayden’s.


    Avery knew that Hayden was weak topliments. If Elliot were to act submissive and shower


    Hayden withpliments, Hayden would not be able to react defensively.


    "You are you, and I am me. We don''t have topete with one another." Hayden used to be fixated


    on who was the better out of the two of them, but now that he had his own dreams and goals, he no


    longer cared.


    "You are right, Hayden. It doesn''t matter who is better. I''m proud of the two of you," Avery said and


    reached for her ss of milk when her phone started to ring.


    It was a call from Mike, and she could already guess what he wanted to say.


    Being bullied by Chad and Ben on social media, he was definitely calling Avery to have her side


    with him.


    Avery took a sip of milk and answered the call.


    "Avery, did Hayden and Elliot make peace?" Mike asked in disbelief.


    "Yeah. Do you want to see it for yourself?"


    "Do you think I would doubt your words? It''s good that they have made peace! You won''t have to


    worry about it anymore," Mike said.

    "Why do you sound a little upset?" Avery teased.


    "Why would I be upset? Do I look like the kind of man who would be jealous when I see a family


    living in peace?" he said bitterly. "Fine, I confess. I am a little upset. I knew for sure that I was


    Hayden''s favorite, but now that he has made peace with Elliot, I think it won''t be long till Elliot


    reces me."


    "How could you think like that, Mike? No one can ever take your ce in Hayden''s heart, just like


    how Elliot will never be able to rece the ce you have in mine," said Avery, reassuring him.


    Mike felt relieved at Avery''s words.


    "Mike, you and Chad... Why don''t you stay in Aryadelle? Hayden doesn''t need you to look after him


    anymore, and I trust that he can take care of himself." Avery started to think about Mike''s future.


    "Why can''t you ask Chad to stay in Bridgedale with me instead? I am from Bridgedale."


    "Chad doesn’t listen to me. You are the one who needs to talk to him."


    "Chad doesn’t listen to you, but Elliot does! Just ask Elliot to let Chad go," Mike said, before


    remembering the n to get Avery and Elliot married on Christmas. "Just stay out of our business


    for now. I wille to you if I need help. If I''m not seeking help, it means it''s not that big of a deal."


    "Sure. Hayden is flying back to Bridgedale tonight. What about you?"


    "Maybe in a few days! I haven''t had enough fun!" Mike said. "You guys have fun. I''ll stay out of your


    way."


    Bridgedale was in the midst of a terrible winter. Sebastian had finally managed to arrange a meeting


    with Holly using Natalie''s phone.


    Holly had decided to meet at a crowded park. It wasmon for that park to be filled with people.


    The trees were covered in thickyers of snow, and everything looked white.


    Wearing a thick jacket, Sebastian got out of the car. He instantly felt the cold winter bite.


    Not far away, a figure in a ck down jacket turned around and met his eyes.


    Sebastian rubbed his hands together and strode toward the woman. "Are you Ms. Holly nche? I


    am Sebastian, Natalie''s brother. My sister fell ill, so I am here to meet with you instead." He


    extended his hand toward her.
