There are a lot of photos in it so please check with your technician to see if you can recover the account and the photos in it." "Alright. | am a technician myself so | will have a look right away. If | don't get back to you before midnight, don't wait up." "Thank you." "It's alright. It’s our honor that your wife chose to use our platform.” Once he hung up, Elliot opened the photo album on his phone to look at the ultrasound Ruby had sent him earlier. He zoomed into the face of the baby, and it indeed resembled Layla in certain ways.
He could not help but head into the bathroom to turn the lights on, before looking in the mirror to stare at his reflection.
Layla looked like Avery, so why would his child with Ruby look like Layla? After staring into the mirror for a while, he opened his album again to look for Layla’s photos.

His heart sank.
He had no feelings toward Ruby, so he thought that he would not feel anything toward their child either, but he hesitated at the sight of how much the baby resembled Layla.
He knew exactly why. It was because the baby looked like Layla. If the baby looked like Ruby or him, he would not feel anything.
Half an hour later, Avery cto knock on the study room's door.
"Elliot, what are you doing in the study room?" Elliot strode up to her. "I was looking for someone to recover your account." "It's late. It's not that urgent, you could have waited until tomorrow." Avery pulled him out of the study room and said, "Let's go get a shower! Hayden and Layla are both done with their baths." "I thought they were playing with blocks?" Elliot looked at the time.
"It's only been half an hour." "Kids are quick with bathing, ;c-;VJV; they have already returned to their rooms to sleep." Avery grabbed him by the arm and led him toward the master bedroom. "Mike calledjust now and said that the new team we recruited has cup with a pretty good product. I'm looking forward to going into the office tomorrow." "Go to sleep earlier tonight, then. Letknow what you think of the new product once you have a look at it tomorrow." "Of course. You are the one who hired them, after all. | will surely report back to you," she teased with a smile.
The two went into the master bedroom and closed the door behind them. Avery went to get their pajamas from the closet while Elliot unbuttoned his shirt.

He enjoyed being taken care of by her because he had always known where his heart belonged. It belonged to Avery and though he had developed feelings for Ruby's child, it was only because it looked like Avery.
He wondered whether the child would look different as it continued to develop.
After the shower, he stepped out of the bathroom and sat down by the bed, before unlocking his phone to see if the owner of the platform had replied, but he had not.
Elliot was not sure if he would get the account back by midnight.
