Shea was tugging at her arm, saying something to her.

"lI won't see you, Ruby. Stop contacting me! You will only makehate you even more! " Elliot's sensibility overchis impulsiveness. He rejected Ruby coldly.

Every tshe kicks me, | want to tell you that she is already a healthy, living being. She will be as smart and adorable as Layla in the future. Elliot, | don't ask you to give her the love of a proper father, just see her from tto time. Even if you can't see her openly, at least do it secretly!" Ruby's tears made him grit his teeth hard.
He clenched his fist tightly. Layla's face appeared on his mind.
"Elliot, | am staying at the Regency Hotel near your place. I'm leaving tomorrow morning." Ruby had a sliver of hope when she heard no response from him. "Will you cto see our child? Even if it's just a glance. | know when I'm giving birth to the child, you can't go to Ylore to see me. | won't have the energy to bring the child over to see you too, so can you cand see us tonight? | brought a lot of the child's photos for you. | took it this month."

"Is half an hour enough? Shouldn't you treat your friends to a meal?" Avery said. " It's fine if you return later, but don't drink too much." Elliot nodded. "If you're tired, go to bed first. Don't wait for me." "Hmm." Avery sent him off.
After Elliot left, Avery returned to the living area.
"Mommy, where is Daddy going so late at night?" Layla rubbed her heavy eyelids. " We still have fireworks to light!" "Your Daddy has a friend here. He went to meet them." Avery explained what she knew to Layla. "He said he will be back soon.
But, if you want to play with fireworks, we don't have to wait for him." "Oh..." Layla felt a little sorry, but she soon perked up. "Then, let's go do it now!" "Okay!" Avery took the children's jackets." Put on your jackets. It's cold outside." The children put on their jackets, and so did Shea and Adrian.
Adrian took a lighter and walked out first. Shea and the two children soon followed him.
When Avery was about to head out, her phone rang.
