NovelOnlineAvery desperately wanted to hide away, because she knew that Elliot had not taught Robert to say such a thing. Robert kept
mentioning how much his sister liked Avery, and it was obvious that he was inviting Avery to stay the night for Layla's sake.
"Robert, we can invite Mom to cand play during the day, but at night, she will need to go hto sleep." Elliot patted Robert
on the head. "Everyone has their own house and needs to go back to their own house to sleep."
Robert looked slightly confused, but said," Kitties need to go back to kitties' house; doggies need to go back to doggies’ house; so
Mommy needs to go back to Mommy's house.”
Everyone's jaw dropped at the comment.
Avery could not decide if she wanted to chuckle or cry. "Robert, why don't you cto Mommy's place to play next time?"
"I will go if Layla goes."
"You are such a good boy, Robert." Avery was glad that Layla and Robert were getting along so well.
After a while, the children who finished their meals and the women who weren't drinking left the table. Tammy dragged Avery
outside the mansion for a stroll and asked, "Avery, have you two really made up?"

"I suppose! He explained everything in the past tobut | don't know if | want to believe that." Avery inhaled the fresh air and
continued, "I've lost my mind over him once before, and | don't want to make the smistake again, so | am maintaining a level
head this time."
"It doesn’t really matter if you two get back together, actually. It's good enough that you managed to eat at the stable. After
all, your divorce was rough, and we all thought that you would never speak to one another again... You are just too understanding
and forgiving. If | were you, | would never forgive Elliot."
"Why not?"
"The fact that he forced you into selling your company is too much forto accept. " Tammy's features stiffened. "Elliot is too hot-
tempered, and he should only ever date women who are senselessly in love with him, but that's the type he feels least interested
in.
Avery chuckled. "Tammy, selling the company was my decision, >f*:ULP: it has nothing much to do with Elliot." "I thought that you
sold your company because Tate Industries opened a branch in Bridgedale to go up against Alpha Technologies." Confused, Tammy
said, " That's the version I've been hearing."
Avery shook her head. "It's not entirely because of that. | just grew tired of it all and wanted the cash flow. That's why | sold it."
"Alright! Guess I've misunderstood him."
"Tammy, he said that he didn't hear what | said when | called him before. Do you think that’s possible?" Avery asked suspiciously.
"My phone works just fine, and it's been working for all these years."
"He said he couldn't hear you?"
"Yeah! He even found the recording of the conversation at the time, and my voice faded away toward the end of the phone call. He
said he didn't tamper with the recording."
Tammy scratched her head. "I don't know much about that. Why haven't you two talked about it till now? If only you talked about it
earlier on, it would have been much easier to look into this."
Avery, too, seemed frustrated. "lI was really depressed with what happened to my eyes and acted rashly because of it. After that, |
could not touch my phone for months because of the surgery | had."
"It's not your fault, Avery. Whatever happened, it's not your fault."
"But if he really wasn't aware of my condition at the time, | can't really blhim. In the end, | guess we've both been too proud.
We would rather go our separate ways than simply sit down and talk about it. It's almost like we were worried that we would
embarrass ourselves for saying a few words." Avery reflected on her own action.

"Then don't blone another anymore and just carry on with your lives and raise the three children you have. That's the best
ending for everyone.
"Yeah. He cut ties with Natalie in front of Layla and | earlier today," Avery said shyly.
"It was so awkward even though | knew that he didn't do it for me."
"How would you know that? What if it was all for you? He knows that you are still single, and he might want you back," Tammy
guessed.
"Layla said the sthing."
"What do you think?" Tammy questioned.
"Nothing. | just want to find Ivy, " Avery said. "I won't be up to talk about anything else until | find her."
"If Elliot manages to find Ivy, would you overlook his mistakes because of that?
Since you will have four children together at that point! Four! My god, | can't even begin to imagine!"
