Instantly, the room was plunged into darkness. Averie waited for him to come over, but… the desk instead. It looked like he was planning to spend the night on the desk
“You have never cared about my feelings before? Why are you pretending to be a gentleman now?” Averie could not hide the anger in her voice. “Are you trying to freeze to death!”
Elyette did not expect Averie to suddenly get angry. He turned on the lights. Averie was blinded by the light. She immediately pulled the covers over her head.
Elyette strode over to her bed and pulled the covers away, exposing her flushed face.
“Averie, you hate me because I ignored your feelings. I don’t want to continue making the same mistakes.”
Averie was a little bewildered. “W-Why aren’t you wearing any clothes?”
“I didn’t bring any.”
“Then, don’t take a shower!” Averie was so furious she felt dizzy. “What are you still waiting for? Get in bed!”
Averie had suspected that Elyette had intentionally not brought any clothes with him. It was his
way of gaining her pity.
Elyette lay next to her in bed. She was warmed by his heat.
She reacted. This was not only a ruse, it was also seduction!
They arrived at Avonsville Airport two days later.
Mike and Chad picked them up. Elyette was carrying Averie’s bag in one hand while his other arm was draped around her. He was afraid that someone would bump into her. There were many people who were disembarking.
The four of them came out of the airport.
After Elyette placed her bag in the trunk of Mike’s car, Averie said, “Go home.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow?”
Their voices were low and soft, but Chad and Mike heard them clearly.
“What the hell!” They silently swore.
Only three days had passed, and they were already at this point in their relationship? Before they had left, they were enemies torturing each other! After getting in their cars, the two cars drove in different directions.
“Averie, is there anything you want to tell me?” said Mike. “Why are you so weak?! You had almost died the last time, and you were furious with him, and yet, it only took him three days to wear you down and win you over?!”
Averie rubbed her temples. “Nothing happened between him and me.”
“You agreed to let him come to our place tomorrow! How could you call this nothing? You never let him enter our house!” Mike said loudly. “Bloody hell! Don’t tell me that you two are planning to get remarried tomorrow?”
Averie was stunned by Mike’s reply. “I never thought about getting remarried.” Averie picked up a bottle, twisted the cap off, and took a sip. She said calmly, “Although he has been good to me for the past few days, who knows if it is because of the child in me?”
“You’re right! You have to observe him until the child is born.” Mike was suddenly delighted.” Who knows how long his good-person act can last.”
Averie watched him take delight in her misfortune. She said, “He is coming over to cook for us tomorrow.”
“What?” Mike thought he had misheard. “Does he know how to cook? Are you sure he is coming to cook and not to poison us all?”
Averie did not know how to respond to Mike. It was Elyette who had insisted on coming over and cooking..
He screwed up with the Children’s Day dinner, so he wanted to make amends. He felt that he had to cook a meal to express his apology.
Once they arrived home, Layla ran to Averie and gave her a hug. Layla had skipped school because she wanted to seee8 Averie.
“Baby, I miss you!” Averie did not care that she was pregnant. She bent down and lifted Layla.
“Averie, watch out!” Mike warned her. “Have you forgotten that you’re pregnant?”
Averie immediately placed her daughter down. “Layla, do you miss me?” “I do! I miss you very much every day!” Layla said and pouted as if she was about to cry.” Mommy, don’t ever leave us again, please?”
“Baby, don’t cry! I won’t leave without telling you next time.” Averie was feeling very guilty.” Shall we go pick Hayden up later?”
“Hmm! Mommy, Hayden cried two days ago,” said Layla. She looked heartbroken. “If Hayden was as stupid as me, he wouldn’t have such troubles! Wo0, woo!”
Averie did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Layla, you’re not stupid!”
“I asked Uncle Mike to send me to the elite class, but he said that they wouldn’t take me in,” Layla said, aggrieved.
“Do you really want to go to the elite class?”
“Yes! Hayden was bullied! I’m going to avenge him!” Layla clenched her fists. Anger burned in her eyes.
Averie was moved by the bond the siblings shared, but Layla still had to improve on her perception of right and wrong.
In the afternoon, Averie took Layla along with her to Central University to pick Hayden up.
When the gates opened, the students came rushing out. Layla could not help but take a few steps forward. She cocked her head, looking for Hayden.
The instant Hayden appeared, Layla immediately yelled and ran over to him!
“Hayden!”
When Hayden heard Layla’s voice, he astutely lifted his head. A few seconds later, Layla pounced into his arms, hugging him tightly!
“Hayden! I’m here to pick you up! Are you happy?!”
The students around Hayden were his classmates from the elite class. Everyone looked at them. They were all stunned by Layla’s pretty face.
“Hayden, is this your younger sister?” A bespectacled boy asked Hayden.
Hayden held onto Layla’s hand and gave a gloomy nod.
The bespectacled boy said with a blush, “Hayden, I’ll let you win next time.”
Hayden snapped, “I don’t need you to let me win!”
When Layla saw how Hayden got angry, she chimed in, “Hayden doesn’t need your pity! Don’t you dare let him win! He is amazing!”
Averie did not know whether to laugh or cry. She walked over and held their hands.
“Mommy.” Hayden looked at her. His expression was more tender than it was before she left.” You’re finally back.”
“Hmm.”
Once they got in the car, Averie started the car and drove away.
“Hayden, you and Layla will always be the most important people to me. So, when you are feeling down and unhappy, I hope that you remember that we are here for you, okay?”
“Hmm.” Hayden had already collected his emotions a few days ago.
“Darlings, I have something I need to discuss with you.” Averie cleared her throat. She was a little worried. “Last Children’s Day, Elyette could not come because of some issues. He felt very sorry, so he has decided to come to make us dinner tomorrow.” The two children’s expressions froze as if someone had cast a magic spell on them.
“If the two of you don’t want him in our house, it’s fine. I’ll just call him later and tell him not to come,” Averie immediately added.
Judging by their reactions, it was evident that they did not want him there.
“Is he coming over to do house chores?” Layla suddenly came to her senses. She yelled excitedly, “If so, get him to come over! Make him do all the chores! Let him die of exhaustion!
Averie knew that Layla did not mean that.
Layla had been heartbroken when Elyette passed out in front of her. She had cried.
“Is there anything you two feel like eating? Let me know, and I’ll get him to make it for you tomorrow,” Averie saide8 gently.
Layla was a food lover, and she immediately started thinking about what she wanted to eat.
Hayden, on the other hand, had a dark expression on his face. “Mommy, are you back together with him again?”
“No,” Averie patiently explained, “He wanted to make up for his past mistakes. This is the first time he has admitted his mistake to me.”
In their numerous past fights, Averie had never allowed herself to cower before him when he was in the wrong. To her, if he was wrong, he was wrong. No matter how much she loved him, it could not wipe away the mistakes that he made!
When Hayden heard what Averie said, he pursed his lips and said nothing. He would not be able to forgive Elyette, but he did not want to disappoint Averie.
