NovelOnlineShe rubbed her eyes and recalled what had happened last night. "Nothing... It's probably because | didn't take a nap yesterday." She sat up in bed. "What tis it? Are you going to work now?" "You overslept so | was worried that you weren't feeling well." She shook her head with a smile. "I'm fine... Go to work!" "Okay. If you didn’t sleep well, you should go back to sleep. Leave work behind for now." He planted a kiss on her forehead. " I'm going now." She hummed in response and watched as he left the room.

She picked up her phone, but she was not sure what to do. She wanted to talk but was not sure who she could talk to because it did not seem appropriate to mention what had happened to anyone. After all, Elliot had yet to tell her the truth. One thing she was certain of was that Elliot had developed feelings for his daughter in Ylore.
In Sterling Group, Ben barged into Elliot's office shortly after Elliot's arrival.
"I went hfor a shower after my flight and cstraight here once | was done." Ben sat down on a chair across from him and tapped his finger on the table. "Buycoffee and I'll show you photos of your daughter." "When you were drunk at Ruby's place, she stole your phone and video called me." Ben stared at Elliot in shock.

Ben massaged his temples. "Ruby took my phone?! How dare she even chaseout after that?" "How dare YOU get drunk while drinking with Paul? Do you not know what kind of man he is? | remember telling you about him," Elliot said sharply.
"I know he's not a good person, but | have no grudge against him," Ben said. "I just wanted to plant the idea of dating Ruby inside his head so Ruby won't clooking for you." "Ruby has not fallen for Paul through the years they have known each other, so what makes you think that you could change that?" "Doesn't matter if it works. | just wanted to speak my mind," Ben said. "If Ruby video called you, you must have already met lvy, then?" "Yeah." "Doesn't she look a lot like Layla?" Ben unlocked his phone "Why would you bring her here? Without a plan, it would be like bringing a ticking tbomb back." "We will just see how it goes from there! Ylore is too far, and it's too much trouble to see her." Seeing how serious Elliot was when he looked at the video, Ben teased, "I thought you would be mad atfor going to see Ivy!" Elliot ignored his tone. "How would Avery feel if she sees Ivy?" "I'm not sure... But | don't think she would be too mad about it, because she's the exact replica of Layla," Ben said. "I wouldn't have traveled that far if Ivy looked like Ruby." Elliot regained his composure immediately and gave Ben the phone. "I won't break my promise with Avery." "It's up to you! | can go see her every year for myself. If | were you, | wouldn't give Avery and your three children up for Ruby and Ivy either." In Wesley's house, Wesley had discussed the risks for Shea to get pregnant with his mother the night before and informed her of the consequences of insisting to give birth should something go wrong.
Sandra was terrified because Wesley stressed that he would not live if Shea died trying to bear his child.
"Shea, this is my fault. | thought that with how advanced the medical industry is lately, you would be like any ordinary person as long as you get treatment.
Wesley toldthat your body would never be normal." Sandra held Shea's hands and continued, "Listen to Wesley and get an abortion!"
