NovelOnlineElliot took his phone back. "I haven't told Avery this yet. | figure | can wait for a while.” "Wait for what, exactly?" Ben was already slightly drunk, but he had completely sobered up.

Anyone who has eyes would be able to tell how much Layla resembles Avery. Your daughter with Ruby Gould might look like you, or like Ruby, but she couldn't possibly look like Avery!" Ben could not help but slam his palm against the table.
"Don’t tell Avery about this, or anyone else for that matter," Elliot reminded him. "lI promised Avery that | would never go to Ylore or contact Ruby again. If | am to keep that promise, | shouldn't even mention Ruby or that child." The more he drank the more awake Elliot felt. Every the thought of how much that child resembled Layla, his heart felt heavy.
"Relax, | will keep my mouth shut." Ben set the bottle of wine aside and poured himself a glass of warm water. "I suddenly don't feel like drinking anymore." "Why not?" "Who is going to console you if I'm drunk? Besides, how am | supposed to get hif I'm drunk?" Ben said with resignation." Seeing how you are doing right now, you are probably going to need a few more drinks. | might even have to call Avery to pick you up.” Elliot immediately set his glass down. "She is probably asleep by now. We went straight to Jed's house after landing, and she didn't sleep on the plane." "I would feel guilty too if | was her," Ben said.
"Jed's parents don't blher." "Of course, they wouldn't. No one knew why Jed was killed!" Ben changed the subject back to Ruby's child. "You said you can't go to Ylore. Does that include when Ruby gives birth? Also no?" Elliot did not answer his question. He simply gave him the look.

Once I'm there, | can take a photo ;b';WLX< perform a paternity test for you. How about that?" "It's too early to be thinking about that." "It's not early. Ruby will be giving birth in a couple of months. Who knows if that baby actually looks like Layla until someone sees it with their own eyes?" Ben was quite eager to see the baby for himself. "Maybe you can cto Bridgedale then. | can get Ruby and the baby here to meet with you." Elliot thought that it was a ridiculous plan." If | want to see that baby, | will take Avery withto see her." "As if. You don't even dare mention this to Avery, how are you supposed to take Avery to see the baby you share with Ruby?" said Ben. "Do you really think that Avery can take it? No matter how understanding she seems, do you really think that she doesn't care? Even the words Ruby Gould' probably disgusts her." Elliot pursed his lips.
"Let's just do it your way and wait for the baby to grow to see if she looks different." Seeing how gloomy Elliot looked, Ben consoled him. "Don't worry. Ruby's baby can only look like you or her, but not Avery.
"Yeah." "If the baby actually looks like Avery, it has to be skind of mutation!" Ben chuckled.
"Mutation? Is that even possible?" "I'm just making that up. How would | know?" Ben rubbed his chin and said, "I will go to Ylore when Ruby gives birth. | won't be going for you. I'm going there for myself." "It's up to you." Elliot could not stop him. "Say, if | call Lilith and ask her to cand pickup later, will she ignore me?" Ben suddenly felt like drinking again.
"lI don't know. You can try. If she ignores you, | can take you back to my place," Elliot said.
"Okay, lettry." Ben picked up the bottle with excitement and poured a little into his glass. "I won't drink too much and will try to pretend that I'm drunk. If | really got drunk, | won't know what happens." Half an hour passed in a flash.
