Chapter 500


    In the living room, La buried her head in Mike’s embrace and shined, “Elliot Foster didn’t show up.


    We waited for him for so long… We only found out he wasn’ting when Mommy called him…


    Mommy took us somewhere else to eat instead.”


    Mike hugged Layle tightly as he patted her back and said, “Don’t be upset. It’s all his fault! Let’s never


    eat with him again!”


    Two streams of tears rolled down La’s cheeks as she said, “Yeha! I never want to eat with him again!


    I won’t let Mommy eat with him ever again either!”


    “That’s right! Don’t cry, sweetie. If your Mommy sees how sad you are, her heart will break,” Mike


    All the other children were having a happy Children’s Day, but their own sweet babies were sitting at


    home all depressed.


    That b*st*rd!


    Elliot might think he had just stood them up once, but he had no idea how much he hurt the children.


    Mike wanted to take them out to ease their minds, but both children shook their heads.


    After ying with them for a while, Mike took the children up for their bath.


    La was usually the one who was the toughest to get into bed.


    However, she climbed into bed after her shower tonight and tucked herself in.


    Mike turned off the lights in their room, then walked out.


    He nced over at Avery’s room.


    She was probably still awake.


    He wanted to go in andfort her.


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    After all, she was a pregnant woman and different from an average person.


    What if she took things to heart?


    Mike walked over to Avery’s room, knocked lightly on the door, then pushed it open.


    The room was shrouded in pitch darkness.


    As the light from the hallway shone in, he could see Avery lying on her side on the bed, as I already


    asleep.


    She did not usually go to bed this early.


    However, even if she was pretending to be asleep, Mike did not want to bother her.


    He closed the door, then returned to his own room.


    Chad had sent him several messages asking about Avery’s condition


    Reading the text messages made Mike feel even more frustrated.


    Mike: (Did your boss tell you to ask about her? Can he really call himself a man? Ask him toe and


    see it for himself if he can!)


    Chad: (Can you talk on the phone right now?)


    Mike: (I don’t feel like talking! I can’t f*cking figure out what awful luck Avery ran into to know such a


    sc*mbag!)


    Chad called, and Mike answered.


    “Take a look outside… I have a feeling my boss went over here,” Chad said in a rtively calm voice.


    “His bodyguard said that there was a crash on the way back to the city earlier, so there was traffic.


    Otherwise, he wouldn’t have beente.”


    “Is this only about him beingte?” Mike said sarcastically. “He told me everything. It’s got to do with


    Zoe Sanford.”


    “He already broke up and cut off all ties with her, though!” Chad said resolutely. “He isn’t going to let


    Zoe treat Shea’s illness anymore. I didn’t tell you about this because I thought it was something that he


    should do.”


    Mike’s rage turned down a notch.


    “Zoe called him today under the premise of introducing him to some doctor… Mr. Foster may not want


    Zoe to be in charge of Shea’s treatment anymore, but if there’s any chance of curing her, he would still


    go for it!” Chad began to plead, “Please go check outside. If he’s really there, can you please open the


    door for him?”


    Mike put his foot down and said, “I can’t promise you that. Avery and the kids are already asleep.


    As he spoke, he looked out the window.


    Sure enough, Elliot’s luxury sedan was parked right outside the front gate.


    Elliot was standing in front of the gate. He did not make a sound nor did he move a muscle. His deep


    set eyes were fixed in the direction of Avery’s room as he stood as still as a statue.


    If what Chad said earlier was true, then Elliot was notpletely unforgivable.


    Of course, this was merely Mike’s own opinion.


    Whether or not Avery decided to forgive Elliot, Mike would not interfere.


    He opened the front door, then walked toward the front gate.


    When Elliot saw Mike approaching, he instantly turned from a statue to a living man of flesh and blood.


    Mike arrived in front of Elliot, then said through the gate, “You should go! Avery and the kids are asleep.


    You can save your apologies and exnations for tomorrow.”
