"Maybe a little... We will still have to wait for the results, though." Ivy did not want to make assumptions simply based on the fact that the baby resembled Elliot in sway.
During dinner, Avery and her three children dined in the dining room, while the servant brought Elliot his portion to eat alone in the living room.
Layla was the one to arrange this-not because she was venting her anger, but because she did not want Avery to lose her appetite.
