“Then, there is no other way. However, why do you suspect Miss Sanford?”
“I only did it with her once. I was drunk. Till now, I can’t be sure the woman I had slept with that night was truly her.”
The doctor was dumbfounded. “Theoretically speaking, the chances of getting pregnant after sex once is very low. Even if the woman was ovulating, it might not be successful. Did you not investigate it at that time?”
“I have asked Averie. She said that she had not slept with me.” The reason Elyette brought up the past was because he suspected Averie. “I realized that nothing she had ever told me was the truth.”
The doctor replied, “Miss Tate does not seem like that type of person.”
“She might not be to others, but to me, she’s a liar.”
“Why?”
“If I knew why I wouldn’t be so troubled.” Elyette could not sleep the entire night. What Averie had said to him kept him awake.
Whether it was the truth, or whether it was a lie, he could not tell.
“Have you seen her son?” Elyette swallowed. “The boy looks a little like me. She said that she adopted him. If she hates me so much, why would she adopt a child that looks like me?”
“Mr. Foster, I remember that you had your bodyguard send Miss Tate to the abortion clinic,” the family doctor said.
“Yeah, the bodyguard said that he had sent her into the operation room himself.” Elyette had even gone to check with the bodyguard a while ago. “He said that the doctor had even told him what to take note of after the completion of the surgery.”
“Then the child is probably gone,” the family doctor said. “Perhaps the reason the adopted child looks like you could be her way of honoring her lost child.”
“Is that why Averie hates me so much?” Elyette thought.
Meanwhile, in the master bedroom of Starry River Villa, Mike and the two children stared intently at Averie, who was sleeping on the bed.
Mike had called her at one in the morning, but she had never picked up. He was surprised that she had gone home, but he did not know when she had gone home.
“Are there mosquitoes at home?” Layla asked sweetly.
Mike looked around the room. “No! Did mosquitoes bite you?”
“Mosquitoes bit Mom!” Her eyes were wide when she stared at Averie’s neck. “Look, the mosquitoes left a big mark on Mom!”
Mike’s gaze followed the direction in which Layla was pointing.
“That’s… Based on my experience as an adult, I don’t think mosquitos did that. That mark was left after a certain unspeakable act was committed,” thought Hayden.
“Alright, let her rest.” Mike picked up both-one in each arm- and carried them out of the room.”Let’s go get breakfast, and I’ll take you somewhere to play.”
“I want to stay home and wait for Mom to wake up,” Layla pouted. “It’s been so long since I played with Mom!”
Hayden nodded in agreement.
“Alright, then stay home after breakfast,” Mike yawned. “I might need to work overtime in the office today… But I will go after your mom wakes up.”
“Why didn’t Mom comne home last night?” Hayden asked.
“That was thanks to Elyette!” Mike thought of the red marks on Averie’s neck, and he grew even more certain that she had gone missing because of Elyette. “Zoe had a miscarriage. Do you know what that word means?”
Hayden nodded, and Layla shook her head.
“Zoe was pregnant with Elyette’s child, right? That child passed away last night. Zoe insists that it was your mom who had pushed her, causing her to lose the baby,” explained Mike.
Hayden’s eyes shone coldly as he thought to himself, “That horrible woman, Zoe! How dare she frame my mom! I have to teach her a lesson!”
Layla frowned as she crushed the hamburger in her hands angrily. “My mom wouldn’t do something like that!”
“Of course not! But Zoe insists that it was her, so that dirtbag Elyette went looking for trouble last night.” Mike took a bite of the bread and continued, “I think I should get your mom a bodyguard.”
“Just give our bodyguard to Mom,” Hayden said.
“I’ll just hire a new bodyguard,” Mike said. “The both of you shouldn’t worry about such things. I will handle it!”
“Do it now, Uncle Mike,” Layla said hastily, “I don’t want that dirtbag to bully Mom!”
“Go now!” Hayden agreed.
“Alright, alright!” Mike picked up his glass of milk and stood up from his chair. “I will go now! Stay home and don’t run off anywhere!”
After Mike left, Layla went to Averie’s room with her toys. She fully intended to remain there so that she would be the first thing her mother saw when she woke up.
Hayden returned to the children’s room and booted up his laptop.
He had decided to teach Zoe a lesson.
An hour later, a black luxury car stopped outside the mansion and the doorbell rang. Both Hayden and Layla heard it and ran out.
When the two arrived at the door, the surveillance camera showed a majestic woman in her sixties standing outside.
Hayden immediately recognized the woman and said, “That’s dirtbag dad’s mom!”
“Oh,” Layla said, “so our grandma!”
“Don’t call her grandma!” corrected Hayden. “She is probably here to confront Mom!”
“Hmph! We can’t let her bully Mom! Let’s chase her away!”
Hayden hurried inside to look for his drone, and Layla followed him closely.
Rosalie stood outside the door with a frown. She was waiting for Averie to open it.
She had not slept the entire night. She simply could not find peace, so she had come here to confront Averie.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of an engine, and it seemed to be coming from above her. When she looked up, she saw a drone hovering above her.
Just as she was beginning to wonder why there was a drone above her, red liquid started pouring out of it. When the liquid splattered onto her exquisite leather jacket, she screamed and ran for her car.
Averie was woken up by the scream. She immediately got out of bed and walked toward the window to look outside. When she saw what happened, she darted out of the room.
Rosalie was hiding out in her car, and her eyes were red with anger.
The nanny helped her out of her jacket and took out a piece of wet tissue and proceeded to help get the red liquid off Rosalie’s face.
“Madame, I think this is paint,” the nanny said.
“How barbaric!” said Rosalie through gritted teeth, “I didn’t believe that she would do something like that to Zoe, but now I do!”
Shortly after, the door to the mansion swung open and Averie, dressed in her pajamas, hurried out.
She walked toward the black car, and when Rosalie saw her, she immediately exited the car with the help of the nanny.
“Averie Tate!” Flustered, Rosalie shouted, “Look at what you’ve done!”
Both Hayden and Layla ran out at the sound of her shouting. Though Averie had ordered them to stay inside the house, they could not stand idly by while someone abused their mother.
“That had got nothing to do with Mom! My brother and I did it!” Layla shouted.
Rosalie had heard that Averie had two children, but she was still shocked when she finally saw them.
“You are not welcomed here! We can do whatever we want in our house! You wouldn’t have gotten paint all over yourself if you hadn’t come here!” Layla glared at Rosalie.
Rosalie gasped as she looked at Layla’s face. Layla greatly resembled Averie. “I am looking for your mom! How can you be so rude?”
“I don’t want you to find my mom!” Layla lifted her chin and said, “Go away! If you don’t, I will get my brother to chase you away with his drone!”
Rosalie’s expression darkened as she turned to look at Hayden who was standing beside Layla. When she saw Hayden’s face, she instantly felt as though she was being strangled.
“That child looks so much like Elyette!” she thought.
Averie took the children’s hands in hers and quickly dragged them into the house. Once they were inside, Averie rushed out and said to Rosalie, “If you are here for what happened to Zoe, I can only tell you that I am not guilty; also, your son has already approached me, so this is a matter that you need not concern yourself with!”
“Averie, your son- Who’s the father of your son?” Rosalie asked in a trembling voice.
“I adopted him from an orphanage,” Averie responded coldly as she glanced at the red paint on Rosalie. “My kids have been rude, and I apologize on their behalf.’
As though she had not heard a thing, Rosalie grabbed the nanny’s arm and strode back to the car. Once she was inside the car, she mumbled, “Did you see her son? He looks exactly like Elyette, when he was little.” “Do you suspect that he might be Elyette’s son?” The nanny asked.
