“Even if it’s like what you said, that means that the person does not dare to take any action against you. If not, they would not have hurt Zoe, right?” Mike continued comforting her,”
Let’s go out of the country to relax a little. Once we’re back, we’ll hire a few more bodyguards.”
Averie accepted the bowl from Mike and started eating.
At another place, Chelsea saw the news of Zoe taking her life. Her expressions darkened.
She never thought that Zoe would die so quickly. How weak! It was just a pair of eyes! She never even thought of seeking revenge on Averie! What a useless being!
“Chelsea, Zoe is dead. I don’t think it affected Averie much,” Nora said timidly.
“There is still some effect. According to what I hear, Averie and Elyette fought again,” Chelsea sneered. “How many lovers died during quarrels. Elyette is now giving in to her because of the child in her tummy.
Once she has given birth to the child and her body is out of shape, on top of that, she doesn’t change her temper, I’ll see how long she will be pampered by him.”
“Chelsea, although you make sense, I don’t want her to live,” Nora said with a sinister expression, “When she dies, maybe Elyette would treat me as her substitute because he missed her.”
Chelsea was silent for a few seconds. She said, “Perhaps we could join forces with Wanda. If something were to happen, at least there was someone to take the blame.”
A day later, at the subway stop in Bridgedale. Hayden realized that someone was following him. He lowered his cap and quickly turned and entered a restaurant. Then, he immediately pressed the red button on his watch! Two seconds later, Mike’s watch let out a shrill alarm ringtone.
“Damn it! Hayden is in danger!” Mike exclaimed, “Averie, wait for me in the car! I’ll go look for him!”
Mike quickly parked the car by the side of the road and pressed the emergency button before running toward the metro stop.
Hayden had a holiday that day. The summer camp bus stopped them all at a huge mall near the subway station.
Hayden bought a gift for his mother. While paying, he realized that someone was secretly observing him. He came out of the mall and walked over to the subway station. Who knew that the person followed him too? Thus, he was sure that he was being followed.
Averie could not even sit still in the car and wait. After Mike got out of the car, she got out of the car too and strode toward the subway station.
The bodyguard was holding onto her while persuading her, “Miss Tate, be careful of the child in your tummy! If you go into labor, are you planning to have the child on the streets?”
Initially, Averie did not feel anything in her tummy. When she heard what the bodyguard said, her tummy hurt a little.
She stopped in her tracks and clutched her tummy. “Go and quickly find Hayden! What would Mike do alone! What if he was incd danger!”
The bodyguard could not just abandon her like that. “The subway station has a lot of guards. They will be fine.”
“No! I must go in and see!” Averie held onto the bodyguard’s arm and continued walking toward the subway9e station.
At that moment, Mike carried Hayden and walked out.
The moment Averie saw them both, her suspended heart finally dropped.
“Averie, didn’t I ask you to wait in the car? Why did you run out?” Mike walked over to her, panting, “Let’s get in the car first!”
After getting in the car, Averie immediately hugged Hayden sideways. “Hayden, are you alright? I’m sorry I didn’t come to pick you up earlier…”
“Mommy, I’m fine. I accidentally pressed the button on my watch,” Hayden said and took out the gift he bought for her from his bag. “When I bought this gift for you, I accidentally pressed it.”
Averie accepted the gift, still worried. “Don’t lie to me. This has never happened before.”
“I never bought a gift on my own before either.” Hayden smiled a rare smile.
“As long as you’re fine. Let’s go. I’ll bring you to have a good meal.
“Hmm. Mommy, open the gift.”
Averie immediately opened the gift. It was a butterfly hair clip that could move. It was extremely adorable.
“I love it.” She said and pinned it on her hair. “Did you get one for Layla too?”
“Hmm, it’s in my bag.”
“I feel so blessed to have you.”
At night, after Averie returned to her room to rest, Mike entered Hayden’s room. He locked the door from inside and cut to the chase. “It’s one thing to lie to your mother. Are you trying to lie to me? Tell me quickly, what’s going on?”.
Hayden said, “If I tell you, you can’t tell Mommy.”
“Of course! Don’t you trust me?” Mike stood in front of Hayden and asked, “Did you get yourself into trouble?”
“When I was investigating Nora, I realized that she had visited a strange webpage. I entered and realized it was the dark web.” Hayden said in a low voice.
“What kind of dark web?”
“I don’t understand some of it. Some of it is human trafficking.” Hayden paused for a while. “I blew up this dark web, but some of my information got leaked.”
Mike said sternly, “You’re too impulsive! You should have told me first.”
“I was scared to death by the content of the page.” Hayden still found it scary at the thought of it. “I will find a way to solve this. Don’t let Mommy know.”
“How are you going to deal with it?” Mike crossed his arms on his waist. “You shouldn’t have blown up that web page. Since Nora knows about that dark webpage, that means she must have known someone or some organization in it. Perhaps we could have found something on it.”
Hayden lowered his head remorsefully when he heard what Mike said. He was frightened at that time, which was why he was impulsive.
Thinking about it at that moment, he should not have done so.
“Let me handle this.” Mike patted Hayden on the head. “You finally have two days off. Rest well tonight. Go be with your mother tomorrow. Hand the computer over to me. I’ll try my best to restore the webpage.”
Hayden said, “Nora must be a bad person. Tell Mommy to stay further away from her.”
“That woman’s target is your father, she doesn’t have much contact with your mother.”
Hayden did not care about whether Elyette lived or died, so he did not say anything else.
The next day, after Averie got up, she made breakfast forcd Hayden.
Hayden came out of his room. He walked over to the kitchen. “Mommy, Uncle Mike can’t go out with us today.”
Averie turned the fire off. She said confusedly, “Is hege sick?”
Mike shook his head. “He was up all night. He can’t get up today.”
“Oh…do you know why he was up all night? Were you up with him?”
“No. I went to wake him up just now, he told me.”
