Chapter 639
The huge room only had three of them. The atmosphere was rather strangely quiet.
The waiter left after serving the food.
Elliot pondered for a while. He was just about to say something when Avery jumped the gun and said
something first because she was afraid that Elliot would make Hayden angry.

“Hayden, didn’t you say you were hungry? This restaurant is quite good. Have more food.”
Avery ced a huge pile of food in Hayden’s dish.
Hayden lowered his head and ate. He did not even look at Elliot.
Elliot picked up adle and scooped some soup for Avery. “When are you nning to return to
Aryadelle?”
Avery did not want to talk to Elliot in front of Hayden because Hayden was extremely sensitive to Elliot.
She was afraid that if any sentence of his would make Hayden unhappy, it would only deepen the rift
between father anded son.
“Let’s eat first!” Avery lowered her gaze and took small mouthfuls.
A momentter, Hayden was full. He ced his utensils down. “Mommy, I’m tired. I’ll go homege first.”
Avery immediately ced her utensils down. She wanted to go with her.
“Mommy, you’re not finished yet! I’ll get Uncle Bodyguard to send me back.” Hayden grabbed his bag
and headed out.
After the little third wheel left, Elliot could finally speak.
“Hayden is going back to summer camp tomorrow. When are you nning to return to Aryadelle? We
could head back together,” Elliot said.
“I don’t want to return tomorrow.” Avery politely refused to return to Aryadelle with him tomorrow.
“Then, I won’t go back tomorrow,” Elliot said, changing his mind.
Avery was speechless.
“Don’t worry, I won’t bother you.” Looking at how stunned she was, he changed the subject.” Soon, our
child will be six-months-old. Time passes by quickly.”
“Is that so?” Avery did not think so because too many things had happened. Sometimes when she
thought back about it, it was like she was having a strange nightmare.
“Life passes by quickly too.” Elliot’s gaze was suddenly in the distance. “Recently, I’ve been
thinking about the things that happened when I was young. The past few decades have passed in a
blink of an eye. It feels like in another blink of an eye, I’ll be old and white-haired.”
“Did you have an unhappy childhood?”
“What makes you say that?” Elliot smiled but he had no expression on his face.
“I guessed.” Avery took a sip of the soup and said peacefully, “You find it hard to trust others, including
me.”
“What about you, then?” Elliot’s tone was peaceful too. He did not want to provoke or start any fight.
“Nora and I are innocent. Why are you angry then? Avery, you can’t not trust me but expect me to trust
you fully.”
In this round, he won.
Avery did indeed get angry at him because of Nora.
“All the problems between us, can wey it out on the table once and for all tonight?” He wanted to
resolve the conflicts between them.
Soon after, their child was going to be born. They needed to bring the child up together.
“There are no problems.” Avery put down her spoon. She did not want to discuss such a heavy topic.
“I’m a little tired. I didn’t nap in the afternoon.”
“I’ll send you back.” Elliot got up from his chair and walked over to her. He helped her up.
“Where are you staying?” Avery picked her bag up and asked.
Elliot hesitated for a while.
Avery looked at his slightly blushing handsome face. Her heart skipped a beat. “Elliot, don’t tell me you
only came here today, and you haven’t found a ce to stay?”
“Hmm, I’ll just find a hotel near your ceter.” Elliot seemed like he wanted to assure her, but it also
seemed like he did not. “Anyway, this time I didn’t bring a bodyguard with me. I can just stay anywhere.
It’s easy.” He did not bring a bodyguard with him! Avery furrowed her brows tightly.
