“In that case, let him rest at home!” Averie smiled once more. “I seared some steak for you. I don’t know how it tastes.”
Ever since Averie got pregnant, she no longer stepped into the kitchen.
“Everything you make tastes good, Mommy.” Hayden smiled. His eyes sparkled.
Averie was touched. All the unhappiness that happened back in Aryadelle instantly vanished.
After breakfast, mother and son headed to the science museum. Averie could not bring Hayden to amusement theme parks or malls, because Hayden was not interested in those.
The only places that he would like were places that had to do with science and technology.
On the way to the science museum, Hayden kept looking at Averie’s tummy.
He has not seen Averie for half a month. He felt that her tummy has grown much bigger.
“Hayden, do you want to touch my tummy?” Averie asked with a smile. “Your little brother likes to move a lot right now. If you touch my tummy, he might move!”
Hayden found it magical, so he carefully placed his hand on Averie’s tummy.
“Mommy, when will he come out?” Hayden was curious about his younger brother.
“In about three months more,” Averie said, “He looks just like you!”
“Oh. Mommy, what are you planning to name him?” Hayden retracted his hand and looked at Averie. “Can you not give him to Elyette, please?”
In Hayden’s heart, Elyette was definitely a bad person.
Averie furrowed her brows a little. “Hayden, I can’t guarantee that your little brother will stay with us. It’s not that I don’t want to care for him, but Elyette’s decision is firm.”
Hayden’s expressions instantly turned glum. He looked out of the window gloomily. “He wants to use the baby to threaten you to be with him!”
“Hayden, don’t be angry.” Averie felt bitter. She hugged Hayden in her arms. “Once the baby is out, I will talk to him properly. I’ll try to let your little brother stay with us.”
At the science museum.
Due to it being the weekend, there was a crowd there. The bodyguard kept staying close to Averie, afraid that she would be bumped into.
“This robot can quickly mimic a person’s real voice. As long as you say something to it, it can use your voice to answer your questions…”
A staff member was introducing the robot at the exhibition area by the side. Averie suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She headed over to the exhibition without any control of her feet. The bodyguard and Hayden immediately followed her.
“Does anyone want to try?” A staff member asked the interested patrons.
Many raised their hands. They wanted to give it a go.
Averie wanted to raise her hand too, but her body stiffened terribly like she was placed under a hex. She could not move at all. She has initially almost forgotten about everything that happened back in Aryadelle. However, at that moment, all those memories flooded her again!
She never expected that technology was already so advanced. A robot could actually mimic a person’s voice.
Thus, when Zoe’s eyes were gouged and she heard her voice, could it have been done by a robot?
A woman was invited up to the stage. She greeted the robot. “Hello, my name is Lily. I want to test if you could really mimic my voice.”
The robot was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Hello Lily, I’m trying hard to mimic your voice! Do you think I sound like you?”
A burst of laughter came from below the stage! The robot’s voice was indeed quite like hers, but after all, it was still a robot, so the speed it spoke was a little slower. It felt quite emotionless, so it soundedcd weird.
Averie’s tightened chest relaxed a little. The effect was quite different from what she expected.
“Miss Tate, are you interested in this?” The bodyguard said, “The robot’s mimic is not as good as somege comedians!”
“Is that so? Can someone fully mimic another person’s voice?” Averie has never paid any attention to this before.
“Of course! Go search for it on the web. There are a bunch of them! This is nothing strange.” The bodyguard said and pointed in front. “Miss Tate, there is a lucky draw in front, let’s go!”
Averie distractedly followed the bodyguard over.
“Hayden, go and draw a prize!” The bodyguard picked Hayden up and get him to draw.
Hayden was not interested in the lucky draw, but he was interested in the prize. The first prize was a very cool model of a robot.
If he had to buy it, the price would be expensive.
Hayden drew a ticket out. Before he could scratch the ticket to reveal the price, the staff member immediately took it away from him and helped him to scratch.
“Wow! Buddy, you won first prize!” The staff member exclaimed.
The surrounding crowd cheered in response.
Hayden smiled brightly. This was the type of happiness that could not be bought with money.
Averie looked at the staff member handing over the unique model of a robot to Hayden. She felt that it was very unreal.
Hayden was way too lucky. Was this a dream? Averie reached out and pinched herself on the arm. It hurts! It was not a dream! She could not help but smile, almost laughing out loud.
Just when she was about to laugh out loud, she saw a familiar figure among the crowd.
Her smile was plastered on her face.
That man was Elyette! Why was he here? When did he come? What was he doing here?
Averie quickly walked over to him! The bodyguard and Hayden were still basking in the happiness of winning a prize, so they did not notice Averie leaving.
Elyette saw that Averie noticed his presence. He quickly turned around and left.
Mike told him that Zoe’s suicide caused her mental condition to be quite unstable. Mike also told him that if he were a man, he should apologize to Averie for suspecting her previously! Which was why Elyette came.
“Elyette!” Averie saw that he was about to leave. She immediately called out his name. “Stop right there!”
Elyette remained in the same spot. Averie soon quickly walked over to him.
“When did you come?” Averie looked at him. There was not any expression on his face. He looked away and said in a very low voice, “Yesterday.”
“What are you doing here?” Averie raised her voice. “Did you come alone?”
She did not know why she wanted to stop him nor why she asked him these questions.
Previously, they both had an argument. No one wanted to admit defeat. At that moment, meeting each other, they could have gone their separate ways. However, Averie could not control her thoughts. What if he was there to look for her?
