Mike thought for a while. “We’ll have to see when Averie recovers. Once she recovers, we’ll definitely return.”
Shea took a small bite and asked softly, “Why did they fight?”
Layla and Hayden wanted to know the answer too. They looked at Mike.
“Uh…I can’t explain it in a few simple sentences, but what I am sure of is that this time, Elyette did nothing wrong. Of course, Averie did nothing wrong as well.” Mike changed the subject.” Shea, let’s take you out later. You have been here for so many days, but you have not had the chance to look around!”
Once they left, the entire mansion was in silence.
Averie lay in bed. Her arm hurt badly, but her heart hurt even more.
This time, she was the one that pushed him away. She did not know whether this decision was right or not, but besides this decision, she had no other better choice.
The next morning, Shea went to Averie’s room and softly bade her goodbye, “Averie, I’m leaving. Get well soon. Once you’re well, you must return to Aryadelle!”
She was afraid to disturb her, so she did not stay for long. She quickly left Averie’s room.
Averie opened her eyes and looked at the empty room. She was disappointed.
At eight in the morning, a Golfstream G650 private jet took off from Bridgedale Capital Airport. Its destination: Aryadelle Capital Airport.
After more than ten hours of journey, the jet slowly descended on Aryadelle Capital Airport.
The time in Aryadelle at that moment was six in the morning. Wesley came back together with them.
“Mr. Foster, thank you for taking us home,” Sandra thanked Elyette.
Elyette replied, “You’re welcome.”
“We’ll make a move!” Sandra said.
Elyette swallowed his saliva. After a short moment of hesitation, he said, “Mrs. Brook, don’t blame Averie for Wesley’s injuries. She didn’t even tell me that she was Professor Hough’s last pupil. Wesley got kidnapped because he was once Professor Hough’s assistant, not because Averie got him in danger.”
Sandra was stunned. Elyette said what he wanted to say and left.
“Mom, what did you say to Averie?” Wesley sat in the wheelchair. He had a serious expression. “Averie is also a victim, how could you blame her?”
Sandra’s eyes instantly reddened. “I’m sorry, son. I’m just very upset. You initially have a bright future, but it’s all gone now. If you didn’t get to know Averie, this would not have happened.”
Wesley sternly rebuked, “Mom! Has Elyette not made himself clear just now? This has nothing to do with Averie!”
Sandra said, “How does this not have anything to do with her? If Professor Hough did not take her as his last pupil, nothing would have happened.”
Wesley said, “Since when becoming excellent is a mistake? If you think that way, then I’ll just be a loser for the rest of my life!”
News of Elyette returning to the country soon spread.
“Elyette came back alone. Averie is still in Bridgedale.” Wanda shared the news she got firsthand with Zoe. “Also, when Elyette returned, he immediately went to work. I suspect that something has happened to their relationship.”
“‘That shouldn’t be! Elyette has spent one and a half billion on Averie!” Zoe found it hard to believe. “Could it be that Elyette has dumped Averie?”
“No matter who dumped who, Elyette’s one and a half billion has gone to waste!” Wanda said, delighted in Elyette’s misfortune. “Averie could never pay him back so much money.”
Zoe said sourly, “Elyette is an extreme male chauvinist. Even if they split up, he would not get Averie to pay him back.”
Wanda said, “One and half billion is not a small number even to Elyette. It’s not that Elyette might not want to get it back from her, perhaps he just finds it hard to tell her?”
Zoe raised her eyebrows. “What are you planning to do?”
Wanda smiled mysteriously and whispered her plans in Zoe’s ears.
In Sterling Group
Once Elyette arrived at the office, he completed all the piled-up work for the past few days. He did not even drink a sip of water before rushing off to meet a client.
Chad followed behind him and texted Ben, (It’s most likely that they broke up.]
Ben texted, (I went to see him this morning. I could see it from his expressions. Don’t let him drink later.]
Chad replied, [Got it. Ben, how much did Mr. Foster spend this time in Bridgedale?]
Ben replied, […why do you want to know?]
Chad texted, (He has been working hard. I’m suspecting that his wealth has been emptied.]
Ben replied, (Not really. I think he’s just numbing himself with work.]
Chad kept his phone and quickly walked over to Elyette’s side.
“Mr. Foster, after the meeting, I’ll send you back to rest,” Chad said, “It’s closer to where you stay here.”
Elyette said, “I’m not tired.”
Chad explained awkwardly, “In the afternoon, the company organized a two-day team building session for the staff. You can rest well at home during this time. If you don’t want to rest, you can come with us for team building.” Elyette’s gaze dimmed. “Is there another choice?”
Elyette did not want to go home, nor did he want to go for team building.
Chad saw how in pain Elyette seemed, he suggested, “Why don’t you go on a holiday? Where do you want to go? I’ll book a hotel for you.”
Elyette pondered for a moment before saying, “I want to drink.”
Chad was speechless. Was this the reason why Elyette chose to attend this meeting?
An hour later, Elyette was drunk, as he wished.
After Chad sent him home, he let out a sigh of relief. Although drinking was bad for the body, if Elyette did not drink himself drunk, he would not be able to sleep.
Coming out from Elyette’s mansion, Chad dialed Mike. “Doesn’t Averie have a guilty conscience? Mr. Foster sacrificed his effort and money but what else does she know how to do other than hurt him?”
It was night in Bridgedale at that moment.
Mike rubbed the middle of his brows and yawned. “What nonsense are you talking about again? Hmm?”
“Didn’t Averie break up with him? How cruel and heartless is she!” Chad spat.
“Chad, do you treat Elyette as your bloody father or do you treat him as your son?” Mike said angrily, “How is their affair any of your business? Stop caring!”
“Are you yelling at me?”
“I am yelling at you!” Mike got more spirited the more he yelled. He got down from the bed and took a cup of water to hydrate himself. “The child in Averie is most likely unhealthy. The doctor said that she must abort. She is currently extremely upset. Do you think your boss is the only sad one?!”
Chad touched his nose. “Oh…so that’s why! Did they break up because of this?”
“You can say so! Elyette felt that Averie should listen to the doctor to abort the child, but Averie can’t do it. Averie did not want to drag him down. She wants to bring the child up on her own, so she broke it off with him. Is Averie wrong?”
“Such a huge thing has happened. Why didn’t you tell me?” Chad calmed down.
“I didn’t even have the time to sleep for the past few days, how could I tell you?”
“Okay then, go to sleep!” Chad felt a little disappointed. “Right, when are you guys coming back?”
“I don’t know. I haven’t discussed this with her.”
“Oh, since the doctor said that the child has problems, she should listen to the doctor and abort the child. If she gives birth to an unhealthy child. It will also be torture for the child,” Chad expressed his opinions before hanging up.
Mike lay in bed. “Have you forgotten that she is a doctor? What if she could cure the child? Furthermore, the child is almost four months old. She has a bond with it. It’s only normal that she doesn’t want to abort it.”
“Hmm. This is such a terrible thing! It was supposed to be a happy thing, yet it turned into a tragedy.” Chad thought about how they had already reconciled before heading to Bridgedale.
Life was truly unpredictable.
“Now that they are apart, it’ll be good for them to calm down too. Perhaps a few days later, Averie has thought it through and decides to have an abortion,” Mike said, “She utterly refuses to have the abortion right now perhaps because Elyette’s attitude toward the child agitated her.”
