“Didn’t you say you were hungry? Go have some food first!” Elyette said.
“Hmm, I’ll go pack up a little. Take my room tonight. I’ll go to the small room.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll take the small room.” Elyette did not want to take up her space. “This morning was an accident. I’ll be careful in the future.”
“Are you threatening me?” Averie looked at the bruise on his forehead. “Are you trying to sleep with me?”
“Forget about trying.” Elyette entered the room and shut the door. “So, what if I sleep with you? Do you think I can do anything to you?”
Averie blushed red. She never thought he would say such cheap words.
“You just had a baby. What do you think I’ll do to you?” He walked over to her and loomed over her, looking down at her. “How could I bear to watch you stay in the small room?”
Her misunderstanding of him immediately vanished. His body warmth overwhelmed him. She pushed him away, troubled. “Let’s have some food!”
When in actuality she was not hungry.
When they were buying the necklace, the salesperson gave her some food. It tasted quite good, so she had quite some of it.
Coming out of her room, they realized that others were already seated at the dining table.
When Mrs. Cooper saw them, she immediately said, “Come eat! Layla said she was hungry, so we have started eating.”
Because Er was there, the children’s attention was all on him. On top of that, Mike had more things to talk about with Eric, so naturally, Elyette was being left out.
After lunch, Averie got Elyette to rest.
“Are you coming as well?” Elyette asked.
“I’m not taking a nap. Er is leaving at night, I’ll spend some time with him now,” Averie did not care about Elyette’s reaction. She said calmly, “You’re hurt. You need to rest more. I don’t want you to return back to Aryadelle with your injuries still unhealed.”

Averie said and headed to the living area.
Er brought gifts for the children. When Hayden and Layla received their gifts, they immediately opened them.
“Averie, this is for Robert.” Er passed Robert’s gift to Averie. “I don’t know what to get him, so I bought him a coin of his zodiac.”
Averie accepted the present. “Eric, I think you spend at least half a year thinking about what to buy for me and the children.”
“Haha, at least my life wouldn’t be that boring,” Er said and changed the subject. “Have you and Elyette reconciled? I see that he is very jealous.”
“Even if we haven’t reconciled, he is just like that,” Averie said, “He said that he would not get married, but he wouldn’t let me get married to. He is single right now, but he wouldn’t let me have a boyfriend either.”
“What right does he have dictating you?” Anger flashed in Eric’s eyes.
Mike chuckled, “Haha! Eric, you don’t understand. Even if they are not together, that doesn’t mean that they don’t love each other! Elyette knocked his head this morning, he wasn’t bleeding but Averie still sent him to the hospital for a CT scan. If I were to knock my head, I wouldn’t receive this treatment.”
‘Averie glared at Mike.
Mike coughed and took his phone out. “I’ll call Tammy and see if she wants to come over.”
Averie said, “Elyette is here. She wouldn’t want to come.”
Mike asked, “Why? Because Elyette knows her ex-husband? But you know her ex-husband too?”
Averie said, “Elyette and Jun are not just acquaintances. They are close. Tammy is strong headed, she would not want to let Elyette see her being sad.”
“So, what if Elyette sees her being sad? Let’s take a step back, so what if Jun sees her being sad? “Mike shrugged. “I don’t know whether she is hungover or not. I’ll go pick her up.”
“Okay, if she doesn’t want to come, don’t force her,” Averie said.
“Okay.”
As Averie expected. Tammy did not want to come, but it was not because Elyette was there. It was because of Eric.
Tammy was a fan of Eric. She wanted to see him badly, but because she drank too much the night before and cried terribly in the night, her face was extremely puffy that day. Her eyes were reddened and puffy that she could barely open them. She could not see anyone under such conditions.
After dinner, Averie sent Er off. When she returned to the living area, she saw Elyette carrying Robert. This was the first time she saw Elyette carrying a child. She could see that he was a little nervous. His body was tense, especially his arms.
Elyette was tall. He had slender limbs. Robert, on the other hand, was extremely small. Elyette :} was probably afraid that he might drop the child.
“He knows I’m carrying him, but he is not crying at all.” There was a hint of delight in his tone.
Mrs. Cooper smiled and said, “Robert is still young, he doesn’t recognize anyone yet!”
Elyette responded awkwardly.
“Mr. Foster, you have to live with the kids, only will they be close to their parents when they grow up,” Mrs. Cooper advised, “Once you’re back in Aryadelle, you should move to Averie’s house and take care of Robert together! Not only for Robert but also for Layla and Hayden.”
When Averie heard what Mrs. Cooper said, she immediately looked at Elyette.
Elyette was engrossed in looking at Robert. It was like he did not hear what Mrs. Cooper said.
Mrs. Cooper saw Averie looking at her, she smiled and said, “Robert just woke up. Mr. Foster wanted to carry Robert, so I passed Robert to him.”
“Hmm. Had Robert had his milk? I’ll go make him some,” Averie said and went to the disinfectant box to retrieve his milk bottle.
Elyette carried Robert and followed her. He wanted to learn how to make milk for his children. Once he knew how to do it, he could make it for Robert too.
“Are you tired, carrying him?” Averie asked.
“He’s so small. It’s not tiring at all.”
“Then you carry him longer.” Averie’s arms were sore from carrying Robert. Her back was sore too, which was why she always put him on the bed. Suddenly, an idea appeared in her mind.” Should Robert sleep with us tonight?”
Elyette understood why Averie said that. She did not want to spend time alone with him.
“Hmm.” Elyette did not mind. He has never taken care of children before. At that moment, he was willing to try anything for his children.
In a blink of an eye, it was nine at night. Averie put Layla and Hayden to bed before returning to her bedroom.
Robert was in the middle of the huge bed. Elyette was sitting by the bed, holding a toy and playing with Robert.
After Averie entered, Mrs. Cooper left the room.
“You go take a shower first.” Elyette looked at her exhausted face. He said heartbrokenly, “Just go to bed after your shower. I’ll take care of Robert tonight.”
Averie felt a little moved. If Elyette wanted to be a good father, she would not stop him.
She took her pajamas and entered the bathroom.
Half an hour later, she came out of the bathroom and saw Elyette, topless, carrying Robert. “Why did you take off your clothes?” Looking at this thin-fit body, her face blushed hotly.
Elyette swallowed his saliva and said confusedly, “He was crying just now, so I fed him some milk, but he puked after drinking. Did I do something wrong?”
Averie understood and walked toward him. She looked at Robert. His mouth still had some white foam.
“Babies puke. Once he grows older, he will be fine.”
“But he didn’t puke when you fed him in the afternoon.” Elyette suspected that he did something wrong.
He was not exaggerating, but when Robert finished the entire bottle of milk, he puked almost all of it out, which completely drenched his shirt.
Seeing how sincere Elyette asked her, she analyzed the problem for him. “When you’re making the milk, make sure that you don’t let too much air enter the bottle. After Robert finishes drinking, he must be upright for a while. Sometimes, no matter how you pay attention to it, he will still puke. This isn’t all your fault. He is at the age where he would justgb puke.”
Elyette let out a sigh of relief. “He puked almost all of the milk out. Will he be hungry? Should I make him another bottle?”
“No need. He isn’t crying, that means he isn’t hungry.” Averie took Robert over from him. She saw his chest covered in milk. “Go take a shower!”
