If the child did clooking for them in the future, she might not be able to bring herself to turn the girl away heartlessly.
However, she would never let Elliot see the child.

"We're putting a pause on this issue. You'd better do as you said in the future." She put an end to it. "l don't think you'd be as generous as | am now if you were in my shoes, Elliot." "I know that. Avery, thank you." He looked at her gratefully, "1 won't let myself be confused again in the future." "Okay. Tto get up. Let's go down together," she planned to keep him company and eat a little more.
She had no appetite when she ate alone, but now that she had resolved the conflict with him, she started to feel a little hungry.
After he got up, he walked to the bathroom and washed his face.
"Did the kids have fun today?" he asked.
"Do you even need to ask? They're much closer to Mike than they are to you," she teased. "They're going to Eric's place tomorrow.
Are you going too?" "What about you?" He washed his face and cout of the bathroom. "I'll follow you wherever you go." "How do you expectto go out in this condition?" she asked bitterly, "As much as I'd like to go out and enjoy myself, | still value my appearance in public. I'd much rather not go out." "Do you need to visit your mother's relatives for the new year?" Elliot asked. "I can go on your behalf if it's necessary." "I have an uncle. | lived with him after my mother and my father divorced. Although my mother and my aunt didn't have a good relationship, my mother still lived there for several years..." "Okay, let's visit them for the new year tomorrow," Elliot said. "Do they have any children? Is there anything I'd need to pay attention to?" Avery could not help but laugh when she saw his slight nervousness. "Nothing in particular. Just bring sgifts =b.=XKQ; you'll be fine. | remember he has a granddaughter...or was it a grandson. Just prepare a few gifts for both." "Sure." She wanted to say 'if you don't want to stay there for dinner, you can always send them a gift and chome’, but she held back from saying that.
"My uncle will probably keep you for dinner," she reminded. "But if you don't want to..." "It'll be fine. | can have dinner at your uncle’s place," Elliot said. "Aside from your uncle, do you have any other relatives you'd like to visit for the new year?" She shook her head: "My grandparents have passed away, and my father's relatives like Wanda a lot so | don't interact with them anymore." The two of them went downstairs after that short chat.

Avery blushed and quickly explained, "I'm fine, Layla. | applied sointment in the morning, so it doesn't hurt as much now!" "How did that happen?! Mom!" Layla held Avery and sat down on the sofa. She parted her hair and saw the injury. "Uuwaahh! Mommy, why is the boo-boo so huge?!" Layla started crying.
Avery felt heartbroken and carried her daughter into her arms.
"Don't cry, Layla. | bumped into the wall by accident. A doctor cto check ontoday. He toldthat I'll be fine as long as | applied the ointment." "Which wall did you hit? I'm going to tear it down!" Layla said angrily.
Avery could not help herself from laughing. "Don't blthe wall. I'm the one who wasn't careful." Elliot wanted to admit that he was the culprit, but decided against it when he heard his daughter mention that she wanted to 'tear' the wall down.
"Why are you standing here, Elliot? Didn't you say you were hungry?" Avery looked at him and urged him to eat.
