“Ahh!” Their lovey-dovey antics made Layla cringe. She let go of Averie’s hand and ran downstairs at once.
At nine that night, Averie came out of the children’s room and went back to the master bedroom.
Elyette looked at her while carrying Robert. “How did it go?”
“I apologized to him and told him to do his best without letting it get to his head. He just said,’ Okay’.” Averie let out a smile. “He wasn’t as angry as I thought he’d be.”
“That’s a good thing.” Elyette breathed a sigh of relief. “Let Robert sleep with us tonight! I want to experience what it’s like to sleep with a child at night.”
Robert was young and looked like him, so he felt like he was holding a miniature version of himself when he carried Robert.
His fatherly love welled up within his heart.
He wanted to carry the baby in his hands all the time, rather than just at night.
“Are you sure?” Averie cocked her eyebrow. “Don’t you need to go to work tomorrow? We enjoyed ourselves for five days at home and completely ignored the wedding preparations. Won’t you be busy tomorrow?”
Elyette did not realize how serious it was and asked, “Are you saying that I might not be able to get up tomorrow if I bring him to sleep tonight?”
“He needs to drink milk at night, and there’s a possibility he’ll be full of energy and refuses to sleep after he’s done. In that case, you’ll have to play with him. By the time he’s tired and finally falls asleep, it’ll be you who might find it difficult to sleep…”
Elyette immediately scrapped the idea of sleeping with the child when she said that.
“I will be really busy tomorrow. Maybe I’ll just play with him for a bit right now!” Elyette held Robert, grabbed an animal book, and looked at the pictures with the boy.
Averie took a book from the study and lay down on the bed to read.
“What are you reading, Averie?” Elyette glanced at her and saw a medical book focusing on andrology.
“Andrology.” Her tone was indifferent. “There’s no guarantee the three men in our family won’t get sick in the future.”
Elyette was speechless.
“Have you done your annual checkup?” she asked.
“It’s every June.”
“Oh, in that case, let’s do it together after the wedding!” she said.
“Sure.” He saw that the child was flipping through the book without his help, so he went over to Averie GVKppD>5 discussed something with her. “Hey, should I get a vasectomy? We already have three children, and I’m pretty sure we won’t have any more children in the future.”
Averie looked at him in astonishment. “Aren’t you afraid of the pain?”
“It shouldn’t be very painful, right? Can’t they give me some anesthetics if it hurts?” He guessed.
“There’s no need to do that though.” Averie’s cheeks were hot. “As long as we use the proper contraceptives, we should be able to avoid any accidental pregnancies.”
“What if it still happens?” “If you’re expecting it to happen, then it might still happen even if you get a vasectomy,” she teased. “I don’t want you to go under the knife for this.”
Her tone suggested that she felt pity for him.
“I’ll listen to your advice,” he said, then he kissed her on the cheek.
Averie kissed him back. “That sentence is so much better to hear than ‘I love you’.”
“Do you want a husband or a slave?” “I want someone like you who both loves and listens to me.” She looked content. “I’ll let you in on something you might not like to hear-I knew all along that you’d listen to me when it came to Adrian.” “You’re crossing the line with that, Averie.” Elyette pretended to get angry. “What if I don’t listen to you?”
“If you don’t listen to me, I’ll just kiss you.” She hugged his neck and immediately kissed his lips. Even heroes fall for beautiful damsels. You won’t be able to escape my charm.” The next morning, an oversized package appeared in the living room.
Averie opened it and saw that it contained a beautiful red dress
It was the reception dress.
Mrs. Cooper smiled and said, “I thought it was the wedding dress!”
“The wedding dress won’t be done so quickly” Averie took out the dress and placed it against her body. “I’ll give it a try.”
“You should. There’s still time to make modifications if it doesn’t fit,” Mrs. Cooper said. “Don’t you think time passes really quickly? You’ll be married in two weeks.”
Averie smiled and said, “I feel like time actually slowed down! I was hoping to marry him sooner.”
“Hahaha! Your relationship with him has improved a lot since he moved in.”
“Yeah. That just goes to show how important it is to communicate.” Averie took the dress and walked toward the room.
It had probably been too painful for them on Memorial Day, which was why they cherished each other even more from that day onward.
At ten in the morning, a car parked in front of Elyette’s mansion.
The person who got out of it was Henry.
The bodyguard saw him and informed Mrs. Scarlet at once.
Mrs. Scarlet came out.
“Is Elyette home, Mrs. Scarlet?” Henry asked politely
Mrs. Scarlet shook her head. “He’s not. What brings you here?”
“This isn’t something that can be discussed with an outsider. I need to speak to him personally.”
“Oh, well, he’s not at home. He’s been very, very busy with the wedding recently,” Mrs. Scarlet said. “If it’s not something urgent, you can always come back after the wedding.”
Henry smiled awkwardly. “You don’t seem so welcoming toward me, Mrs. Scarlet.”
“That’s a very serious accusation, Mr. Foster. I’m a mere servant in this home and I have no right to invite anyone into the house when my employer isn’t home.” Mrs. Scarlet said politely but coldly, ” You can give him a call if it’s urgent.”
“I did. But he’s always busy.”
“Yes. He’s been very busy recently,” Mrs. Scarlet said.
Henry looked at the villa.
Adrian stood at the door of the villa and wanted to come out, but he hesitated because there was a stranger outside.
He had been living there for a few days was no longer as reticent as he was at the beginning
Mrs. Scarlet treated him very well and brought him around the place instead of just taking care of him every day
“Who’s that?” Henry stared at Adrian.
Mrs. Scarlet turned back and saw Adrian standing at the door of the villa. She immediately ran over and told Adrian to go back into the house.
Henry was even more puzzled when he saw her hiding Adrian so frantically
Elyette was extremely protective of his privacy and would never invite ordinary people to his home, which begged the question of what kind of relationship Elyette had with that man and why was he in Elyette’s home.
After Mrs. Scarlet told Adrian to return to his room, she strode back to the gate of the courtyard and said to Henry, “That’s one of my nephews who came to visit me. You may come back another time, Mr. Foster!”
“How dare you let your nephew come over to Elyette’s home?”
Mrs. Scarlet felt guilty and hurriedly said, “You don’t need to worry about it. I’ve already gotten permission from Master Elyette.” She turned and walked away as soon as she said that.
Henry felt that something was amiss, but he was in no position to pry open Mrs. Scarlet’s mouth and get her to tell the truth.
Henry drove home and told everything to Cole. “There’s more to that man than meets the eye,” Henry frowned. “If he was Mrs. Scarlet’s nephew, why would she be so scared to let me see him? You have no idea how panicked her expression was at the time.” “Dad, have you ever wondered where my uncle is if Elyette was Nathan’s son?”
That question came as a shock to Henry!
He had ignored a very important question.
If that Elyette was fake, then where was the real Elyette?!
As long as they could find the real Elyette, it would be easy for them to deal with the fake one!
“We can spend a bit of money to find out more about that man,” Cole said. “There are plenty of servants in Elyette’s home and we just need to bribe one of them.”
“I’ll leave that to you. I’m going to meet Nathan.”
“Why do you even need to meet him again?”
“It’ll be good for us if he’s on our side,” Henry said. “Elyette is too powerful. We’d have a better chance of winning if we have another person helping us.” “Why would he join us if he’s Elyette’s biological father?”
“Did you forget that I asked someone to beat him up a few days ago? I had them say it was done under Elyette’s orders, so he probably hates Elyette to death right now.” Henry smiled. “Elyette is busy preparing for the wedding, and this is our last chance to turn things to our favor.”
Cole nodded. “I don’t need to spend my time looking for a house or starting a business. As long as we can overthrow Elyette with this, we won’t have to worry about it for the rest of our lives.”
Henry contacted Nathan that afternoon.
Nathan’s nose and face were swollen after getting beaten up a few days ago, so he was recuperating at home when the call came.
