“I know that she is not this type of person, I just don‘t want to have any offspring.”
“But you two now have three healthy children,” Mike comforted him, “Since the three children are healthy, you don‘t have to think that your genes are inferior anymore. Also, your condition was healed when you were young, which meant that your condition wasn‘t that serious.”
Elyette did not want to discuss his condition. It was an ugly scar. At that moment, he had the power and wealth to cover up that ugly scar. He did not want others to know about this terrible past.
Mike looked at Elyette in pain. He suddenly had compassion for Elyette. “I won‘t give you a hard time anymore.”
“I don‘t need your pity.” Elyette put down the cup without drinking a single drop. “I also don‘t need Averie to take pity on me.”
He turned around and walked into the cold night.
Mike saw him leaving. He took a deep breath and collected his thoughts.
Hayden was standing in his room. He heard the sound of a car engine roaring and immediately ran to the balcony, watching the black Rolls–Roice leaving.
He had mixed feelings toward Elyette. What he was sure of, was that he hated Elyette, yet sometimes he also longed for Elyette‘s attention.
A moment later, Mike knocked on the door and entered.
“Big H, Elyette bought you a gift.” Mike walked over with a small box. He showed the gold bar to him. “This gold bar is amazing!”
Mike looked at the gold bar. His gaze instantly lost his previous sharpness. He was lost and confused.
Why did Elyette give him a gold bar? Did he look like the person that likes gold?
“Look! There‘s an engraving on it!” Mike said excitedly! “The words were engraved by Elyette himself!”
What Elyette said as he picked a gold bar because it was huge enough, he could engrave words on it.
That way, Elyette could pass on what he wanted to say to Hayden.
Hayden accepted the gold bar to see what was engraved on it.
‘Happy New Year.’
Hayden harrumphed and put the gold bar back into the box.
“There‘s still engraving on the back!” Mike placed the gold bar in Hayden‘s hands once more. Hayden was spirited. He looked at the gold bar closely once more.
‘I‘m sorry.‘
Hayden was speechless. Was Elyette apologizing to him through the gold bar? How comical! Does Elyette not have a mouth? Why did he not apologize in person instead?
“Big H, the gold bar it‘s quite heavy. It should be worth quite a lot! Why don‘t you keep it!” Mike placed the gold bar and the box in Hayden‘s hand. “Elyette gave you a gold bar because he thinks you‘re golden. You‘re shiny and glittery. You burn bright.”
“You‘re describing a star.”
“Oh, what he means is that you have a bright future. You‘ll do great things.”
“I will surpass him in the future!” Hayden threw the gold bar aside. “I don‘t need his apology!
A moment later, Mike came out with the box. Hayden refused to accept Elyette‘s gift. Mike did not want Elyette to be upset, so he decided that he would keep it on Hayden‘s behalf.
At Elyette‘s mansion. After a shower, Elyette came out wearing a robe to his nightstand. He pulled the drawers open and took medicine out from them.
After Shea passed away, he had been regularly on medicine. If he did not take them, he would not be able to control his negative emotions.
After the medicine, he picked his phone up to see if there were any messages. From what he knew of Hayden, Hayden would never accept his gift, yet the message from Mike wrote, [ Hayden doesn‘t like your gift, but he kept it. Next time when you pick a gift for him, can you consult me first, please?]
Elyette saw the message and smiled. Hayden accepted his gift! He was not a good father, yet Hayden was willing to give him a chance to make amendments.
His eyes were teary. Just like the night before, because Layla called him Daddy when he went home, tears could not help but fall.
After Shea left, at one point he felt as if he had lost his meaning in life. At that moment, Layla and Hayden made him feel as if he was useful.
At that very moment, in the hospital‘s intensive care unit.
Charlie was lying in bed with a laptop in front of him. Something was playing on his laptop because he was engrossed in it.
He was not that sad anymore. God did not take his life away not because He wanted him to suffer, but to let him rise once again! He has gotten the things in Elyette‘s box!
The laptop was playing a video of the funeral of Elyette‘s father.
At the same time, Elyette‘s psychiatric diagnosis was also with Charlie.
The day that Wanda came to visit, she deeply agitated him. That was because Wanda said that she was about to succeed, so Charlie sent men to keep watch around Starry River Villa.
He never thought that his men soon got it! This was Wanda‘s consequence for disrespecting him!
Once he has discharged from the hospital, he would properly plan.
This time, he would surely make Elyette pay a painful price!
The backstage of the gala.
After Layla‘s performance, she was interviewed by the media. Since her debut was with the help of Eric, her starting point was much further than any child celebrity.
Other than that, she was pretty and tall. She was also rather talented, whether it was singing or dancing. If she underwent professional training in the future, she would surely be famous!
“Layla, what do you think of your performance tonight? Rate yourself from one to one hundred,” The reporter said.
Layla smiled. “One hundred.”
“Then, how much would you rate Eric?”
“Does he need any rating at all? The screams and cheering from the audience is enough.” Layla‘s animated face made the reporters laugh.
“Layla, do you have any New Years‘ wishes?”
“I wish to receive a lot of beautiful gifts. Of course, family health is important. No one should get sick,” Layla added after thinking for a while.
“Layla, you‘re so mature. I see that you‘re always so happy. Don‘t you have any troubles?” The reporter looked at her as if she was a future celebrity.
If she got even more famous in the future, this video would surely be famous too.
“Of course, I have troubles, but I can‘t tell any of you,” Layla puffed her cheeks and sighed.
“Then, do you have any happy things that happened to you recently? I‘m sure you could share happy events, right?” The reporter continued to pry.
“I never had a good relationship with my father previously, but it‘s getting better with him,” Layla could not help but talk about this, “It‘s great to have a father.”
“Is your father in the industry too? Is he here tonight?”
Layla shook her head. “He isn‘t in the industry. He doesn‘t know that I‘m here on a shoot tonight. Our relationship only got better a little, we‘re not there yet! I still have to evaluate his performance in the future!”
“Then, what do you hope he does in the future?” The reporter did not ask who her father was, because it has long spread among the reporters that all of Averie‘s children were Elyette‘s.
