Mrs. Cooper cout with Robert in her arms and glanced at their haul. "That's a lot of flowers you bought! They're so beautiful.” "I chose them, and Mommy chose the saplings!" Layla seemed to have forgotten her unhappiness and had a bright smile in her eyes. "Mommy bought fruit saplings!" "What kind?" Mrs. Cooper asked.
"She brought grapefruit, cherry, and... uh... what other saplings do we have?" Layla looked up at Avery.
"Peach and pear," Avery added.
"Yes! A peach tree and a pear tree! | like to eat peaches! So, Mommy bought a peach tree!" Layla lifted the bag of flowers excitedly. "I'm going to put them in a vase." "I've readied a couple of clean vases on the table. You'll see them when you enter the house," Mrs. Cooper said to Layla. "Be careful not to prick yourself on the thorns when you take the flowers, Layla." "I will! I'l be careful." Layla entered the villa with flowers.

"But he hugged Robert today, though. And he felt bad that Robert was bitten by a mosquito. He still loves the child." "Of course he does. As bad as things are between us, the children never offended him," Avery said disappointedly. "Does he plan to do this every day? Coming back quietly when | leave? What if | don't go out then? Does that mean he'll never cback for the rest of his life?" "Well, he cback to hug Robert today. He's probably here just to see the child.” "He makesfeel as if I'm taking away what's rightfully his. He wouldn't have to hide outside if I'm not here." Avery felt distressed. "Once | plant these saplings, I'll bring the children back to my own house." Even though she realized she was wrong when she hid things from him, ;b-=UJY= she was willing to apologize to him and admit her mistake, but when he avoided her like that and prevented her from having a chance to speak, she becmore and more apathetic.
"Don't be like that, Avery! Just wait a little longer..." Mrs. Cooper hurriedly persuaded her, "Give him stime. When he figures himself out, he'll definitely talk to you again." "Chad said the sthing. He said that this whole thing with Elliot would have a conclusion by next week." "Yes, just wait until next week! Don't move back for now." Mrs. Cooper glanced at the saplings on the ground. "I'll get you the tools. You can get started on planting these trees with Layla.” At the Sterling Group, Harvey sat in Ben's office and explained everything to the latter. Ben's face soured immediately after hearing that.
"You're joking, right?" Ben frowned.
Harvey said calmly, "I'm actually very busy, and if Elliot hadn't cto see me, | wouldn't have to chere specifically to tell you this." "Haha! That's impossible! Elliot won't just give up all the shares that he holds!" Ben said angrily, "Henry only asked for one-third of the shares about half a month ago!" "I can explain why," Harvey said succinctly. "Elliot initially askedto transfer one-third of his shares to Cole, but Cole inadvertently mentioned that he had negotiated with Avery to transfer the shares to Adrian." Ben was shocked to hear that!
