Being affectionate toward Ruby and her baby would be an injustice to Avery and the three kids.
Avery did not make a fuss out of it because her children did not know about it and he still had tto remedy the situation.
If the situation escalated beyond control, Hayden and Layla would hate him to death.

Elliot had suffered so much that he lost sleep when all Avery did was give him the cold shoulder for one day. He could not even imagine how he could continue to live in the future if she disappeared from his world.
His answer gave her a heavy sigh of relief.
She would not have gotten angry at him on New Year's Eve if he had done that in the first place, and she would not continue to lose her temper with him if he gave her the sanswer a day ago.
"Have you thought it through?" she took a breath and asked.

With his definite answer, the dark clouds in her heart dispelled instantly and the world becbrighter all of a sudden.
It felt too unreal, and she was worried he might regret it later when he woke up.
"You should get ssleep! We'll talk when you've gotten enough rest." "You don’t believe my answer." "It's not that | don't believe it. | just wanted to wait until you have enough sleep and your mind is clear before we talk." She walked to the window and closed it. "I have no plans today, and | can't go out with my head like this, so I'll stay at home." "Sleep withthen," he invited.

"What are you packing, Mrs. Scarlet?" Mrs. Scarlet sighed. "Shea is going to marry Wesley, right? I'm helping her pack up her stuff so she can bring them with her when the tcomes."

Mrs. Scarlet smiled warmly. "Of course. But more than anything, I'm happy for her. I'm too old to take care of her for the rest of her life, so it's good that Wesley is taking care of her. | hope Adrian will be able to have a good hin the future too. That's the only way | can repay Madam Rosalie's kindness toward me." "Madam Rosalie always knew that Elliot was not her son. She frequently paid Nathan when she was alive, and that counted as Adrian's living expenses," Avery said.
"Do you think Madam Rosalie is a cruel woman?" Mrs. Scarlet asked calmly. "She cfrom a bad environment and there was nothing she could do about it. You haven't met Eason before, so you didn't know how stressful the Fosters were before this." Avery listened quietly.

He doesn't respect Madam Rosalie at all and only treats her as a tool to bear his babies and take care of them.

It'd be better to raise them in secret like in Shea's situation rather than leave them with an unreliable man like Nathan."
