Chapter 501


    After listening to Mike, Elliot turned and left.


    Once Elliot’s car sped off, Mike finally let out a heavy sigh.


    Shea arrived at Avery’s house the next morning apanied by Mrs. Scarlet.


    The children were in the middle of breakfast when they saw Shea walk in. Their eyes flickered, but they


    did not say anything, nor did they walk out of the dining room.


    Mike shed a smile at Shea and asked, “What brings you here this early?”


    He thought that Elliot was the one who arrived!


    “I came to apologize to Avery, La and Hayden, “Shea said in a clear, determined voice. “It was


    wrong of my brother and me to betest night.


    “You don’t need your apology, Shea. The one who should be apologizing is your brother,” Mike said as


    he walked over with a ss of milk in his hand.


    “Big Brother wille over to apologizeter,” Shea said as her cheeks turned pink. “I couldn’t wait, so


    I came myself first.”


    Mike chuckled , then said, “This has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to apologize, nor do you


    need to feel bad.”


    Shea did not agree with him.


    “My brother took me to meet a new doctor yesterday. The doctor was staying somewhere really far


    away and we drove for a long time before we got there… If it weren’t for me, Big Brother wouldn’t have


    beente.”


    At this point, La walked out from the dining room.


    “Is that true, Shea?”


    Hey eyes were still swollen from crying too much the night before.


    Shea nodded furiously and said, “It’s the truth!”


    Hayden finished his breakfast and walked past the living room. He picked up his backpack and


    prepared to leave for school.


    Shea saw him, then hurried over to him and said, “I’m sorry, Hayden! I really didn’t mean to betest


    night.”


    Hayden was not upset with Shea.He shook off Shea’s hand, then said coldly, “I’m going to school”


    Shea released him, then pulled out a little box from her bag and shoved it into Hayden’s arms.


    “This is your Children’s Day present! Please ept it.”


    Mike was worried Hayden would refuse , so he strode over to him and pushed him out the door.


    “We have to leave now or we’ll bete!”


    Once Mike and Hayden were gone, La ran back to her room and emerged with the gift she prepared


    for Shea.


    Shea was ecstatic to receive her present.


    At the same time, she pulled out La’s gift.She had bought a newly released hair clip for La.


    La was so happy that she forgot all about the sadness of the night before.


    “The truth is I really like you, Shea. I like all the presents you give me,” La said as she led Shea over


    to the couch to sit down. “I don’t like Elliot Foster… I’m still very angry at him. He broke my Mommy’s


    heart, and hurt Hayden and me, too…”


    Qutside the front gate, a ck Rolls-Roice came to a halt.


    Elliot emerged from the car.

    “My brother’s here!” Shea cried out excitedly when she saw Elliot. “He’s here to apologize to you all,


    La!”


    La’s cheeks flushed a crimson red. She was so nervous she wanted to hide, but there was nowhere


    for her to hide at all.


    Mike had sent Hayden to school, and her mother was not home…


    “I have to take La to school now, Mr. Foster,” said Avery’s bodyguard. “Please take Miss Shea


    home. I need to lock the doors.”


    A look of surprise shed across Elliot’s face.


    “Where’s Avery?”


    “She went out to attend to some business,” replied the bodyguard.


    Elliot’s eyes darkened.


    What business does she have to deal with this early in the morning? Where did she run off to?
