Chapter 129 – Love Entangled with Her Unconscious Husband Novel Free (Volume II)

At this point, her eyes filled with tears.She hung up the phone as all the energy drained from her body, and she had to hold onto the dining table for support.

When the children noticed the change in their mother’s demeanor, they immediately leaped out of their seats.

“Mommy! What’s wrong?!” Layla exclaimed as her eyes glistened with tears.

“Is he not coming, Mommy?” Hayden guessed.

“Don’t cry, Mommy.Let’s go home!”

Averie forced herself to swallow her tears, then guiltily said, “You’re both hungry, right? Let’s go somewhere else for dinner.”

The children shook their heads in unison. “I’m not hungry, Mommy! I’m just mad…” Layla said with reddened eyes as sadness surged uncontrollably inside of her tiny body. She had chosen her most beautiful dress to wear today, I even bought a special present for Shea. It showed just how much she was looking forward to tonight’s dinner.

However, they were blown off! Elyette Foster was a liar, and so was Shea! “Let’s go eat somewhere, Mommy!” Hayden suggested thoughtfully as he was worried his mother was hungry. Averie agreed, then left the room with the children. The waiter panicked when she saw them leave. “Miss Tate, you and the children haven’t had dinner yet! Should I ask the kitchen to serve dinner now? Everything’s ready…”

Averie stopped in her tracks and replied, “It’s fine.” The waiter was confused and did not know what was going on. Since Averie insisted on leaving, there was nothing the waiter could do to hold her back. “You can take the presents in the room, Miss Tate.If it’s not convenient for you to take them with you, you can leave your address and I can arrange for them to b e delivered.” “It’s fine,” Averie said, then walked away with the children. The waiter reported the situation to the manager. The manager immediately called up Elyette and reported everything to him. “Miss Tate’s daughter was crying.” Elyette was speeding down the road toward the city.

After hearing the manager’s report, he asked bitterly, “What about her?” The manager was stunned for a moment, then understood his question and answered, “Miss Tate didn’t cry, but her eyes were a little red.I’m guessing she might cry once she leaves the restaurant…Her son didn’t cry, nor were his eyes red, but he looked pretty furious.”

Elyette imagined the entire scene in his head. His eyes instantly teared up. That afternoon, Zoe had called him to say that she had contacted a doctor who could help Shea. She also said that she had passed the third treatment plan to that doctor. She told Elyette that the doctor was also one of Professor Hough’s students, and that his medical career surpassed hers. After hearing Zoe’s words, Elyette agreed to take Shea to meet that doctor after some consideration. The doctor was in the country on vacation and was staying near a popular tourist sight that was far away from the city center.

It took about two hours to drive to the destination. However, soon after meeting with the doctor, Zoe began to break down…She whined about all the energy she spent for the sake of treating Shea’s illness.She cried about how Elyette avoided her and treated her like trash despite how much she loved him. Elyette did not forget his dinner appointment with Averie and the children. They departed at 4.30 p.m.and made their way into the city.Zoe asked him for a ride, and Elyette agreed since it was not an unreasonable request. The drive was a peaceful one until Averie called. The phone call from Averie triggered something in Zoe, which was why she said those things! Elyette did not expect Zoe to suddenly lose control like that, so he could not speak up when all of that was happening.

It was not until Averie hung up the phone that Elyette realized what had happened.He brought the car to a screeching halt, then roared, “Get out!”

Shea flinched in shock, while Zoe was a mess of tears i n the backseat.

Zoe knew that Elyette was speaking to her, but she did not want to get out of the car until they were in the city.

“Don’t make me use force, Zoe!” Elyette snapped as his dark eyes glared resentfully at her.

Zoe turned pale from fright.

She immediately opened the door and got out of the car.

Once she was out, the car sped off into the night like a bolt of lightning.

Twenty minutes later, Elyette arrived at the restaurant.

Once he entered the private room, the manager pointed at the presents and said, “They opened up all the presents, but didn’t take any of them with them.”

A lump formed in Elyette’s throat and his eyes reddened as he stared at the unwrapped gifts.

“They ate some of the fruit and snacks,” continued the manager.

“You were only a little late.It wasn’t an inconvenience at all…Besides, the waiter told them many times that dinner could be served early…”

Elyette frowned, then lifted his to stop the manager from talking any more. Averie was not upset because he was late, but because of the things Zoe had said. He led Shea to the table, then said to the manager, “Bring out the food.” The manager immediately instructed the waters to remove the desserts and fruit from the table, then informed the kitchen to serve dinner. Very quickly, the dining table was covered in a spread of delicacies.

Shea looked at the food on the table, but could not bring herself to feel happy. “Give Averie a call, Big Brother.” “She won’t answer my call,” Elyette said. He knew Averie’s temper too well. She may look gentle and docile, but she was more stubborn than anyone he knew. He planned to apologize to her, but he had yet to decide how to go about it. “Averie’s mad,” Shea said persistently. “Call her right now.”

Elyette could not win against his sister, so he dialed Averie’s number on his phone.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable.”

It was just as he had expected.

Even if she went to her house right now, she would not open the door for him.

Averie and the children returned to Starry River Villa after dinner.

The house was shrouded in darkness.

Mike was on a date with Chad and had not returned home.

Averie opened the door, then flipped the light switched.

The room instantly lit up in brightness.

“I prepared some presents for you,” Averie said with a smile.

“I hid them in the living. Go on and search for them!” The children immediately began their search. Moments later, the children were beaming from eart o ear as they found their presents. As they unwrapped their gifts, the sound of a car horn came from the front yard. Averie cautiously glanced outside.

lt was Mike’s car. Mike already knew about what happened. Elyette had given him a call. Although it seemed like Elyette was not at fault, Mike was still on Averie’s side. When he entered the living room, Averie asked, “What are you doing home so early?” Mike scratched his head and decided to lie. “Chad had something to do, so we called it a night.Go and get some rest! I’ll take care of the kids. Averie noticed the flicker in Mike’s eyes. She knew he was lying, but she did not expose him. She returned to her room and shut the door behind her. Tears instantly streamed down her cheeks as she could no longer hold them back.She was devastated. She could not get the image of Layla’s crying face and Hayden’s disappointed eyes out of her head. She could give her children all the love in the world, but she could not make up for their lack of a father’s love.Elyette Foster could not give them that love either!

In the living room, Layla buried her head in Mike’s embrace and shined, “Elyette Foster didn’t show up. We waited for him for so long… We only found out he wasn’t coming when Mommy called him… Mommy took us somewhere else to eat instead.”

Mike hugged Layle tightly as he patted her back and said, “Don’t be upset. It’s all his fault! Let’s never eat with him again!”

Two streams of tears rolled down Layla’s cheeks as she said, “Yeha! I never want to eat with him again! I won’t let Mommy eat with him ever again either!”

“That’s right! Don’t cry, sweetie. If your Mommy sees how sad you are, her heart will break,” Mike comforted Layla as he silently cursed Elyette!

All the other children were having a happy Children’s Day, but their own sweet babies were sitting at home all depressed.

That b*st*rd!

Elyette might think he had just stood them up once, but he had no idea how much he hurt the children.

Mike wanted to take them out to ease their minds, but both children shook their heads.

After playing with them for a while, Mike took the children up for their bath.

Layla was usually the one who was the toughest to get into bed.

However, she climbed into bed after her shower tonight and tucked herself in.

Mike turned off the lights in their room, then walked out.

He glanced over at Averie’s room.

She was probably still awake.

He wanted to go in and comfort her.

After all, she was a pregnant woman and different from an average person.

What if she took things to heart?

Mike walked over to Averie’s room, knocked lightly on the door, then pushed it open.

The room was shrouded in pitch darkness.

As the light from the hallway shone in, he could see Averie lying on her side on the bed, as I already asleep.

She did not usually go to bed this early.

However, even if she was pretending to be asleep, Mike did not want to bother her.

He closed the door, then returned to his own room.
