"That's between them, so I'm not too sure," Ben said. "If they do get married, I bet they'll host a grand wedding. You'll all find out about it then.""Avery Tate really hit the jackpot in life! She gave our boss a child, and it's a son, too!" someone said enviously."Exactly! I bet the boss will help her out if Tate Industries ever gets in trouble in the future."Ben said, "Your boss might be rich and handsome, but Avery isn't a powerless woman who would use her children to earn respect. Do you really think your boss would fall in love with an average woman? Stop watching too many soap operas.""Huh? Isn't the boss only with Avery Tate because she got pregnant?""What are you thinking?! How could a mere child tie him down? There are plenty of women in the world. If he only wanted a child, he could've picked any woman to have a child with."Ben's words enlightened everyone.Simply put, a woman who was able to stay by Elliot Foster's side was definitely not a gullible idiot.Eve

"Avery, we might not be able to meet all the time, but I'll still come see you when I have the time," Tammy said."Okay. I'll wait for you.""Go home and get some rest! You look worse than I do," Tammy said. She attempted to get out of bed so that she could see Avery out."Lie down and rest. I'll leave now," Avery said as she held her down. "Let me know when you leave the hospital.""I will."As Avery walked out of the hospital, her thoughts were a chaotic mess. Her head was spinning, and she could not calm down.Things seemed to be getting better, but her heart felt heavy.Perhaps it was because she could no longer return to the past, and the future was filled with uncertainty."Get some rest when you get home, Avery. You don't look too good." Elliot gazed at Avery's cool face and worried that she might get postpartum depression. "While you were talking to Tammy in the room, Aunt Mary told me that while this might have been a tragic experience for Tammy, it made her mature ver

Avery could not help but reach out and touch Elliot's face.She was shocked by the coldness of his skin.The thermostat in the house kept the house at a constant temperature, but since the days had gotten colder, it was necessary to use a blanket at night. Avery covered Elliot with the blanket that was on her and inched closer to him.He had some wine before bed, and his scent was intoxicating.While Avery was half asleep, she suddenly heard Elliot's hoarse voice."Avery… I'll be a good dad… I will…"His voice was low. He was talking in his sleep.Avery opened her eyes and looked directly at his face.She could not clearly see his features in the dark, but she could see that his eyes were shut.He was sleeptalking. He was promising her in his dream that he would be a good father.Elliot was sleeptalking, but Avery was still moved to tears.One's thoughts during the day would turn into dreams at night. He was only having a dream like this because he remembered her words.S

After Elliot had contacted Chelsea, he called Charlie. When Charlie answered the call and heard what Chelsea had done, he stayed silent for a few seconds."Listen, Elliot. You're half the reason my sister is like this. If I were you, I wouldn't have allowed her to remain in the Sterling Group back then. If you don't love her, then you shouldn't have given her any hope!""I kept her at the company because of her work ethic and capability!""I know that, but don't you think she would start imagining things if she saw you every day? There's no point in talking about any of this at this point." Charlie let out a sigh, then said, "Chelsea is traveling abroad right now. Tell me what you want her to do?""I want her dead.""Ellliot Foster! After all the years she's been bby your side, do you have to be this heartless with her?" Charlie took in a sharp breath, unable to accept this result. "Can't you let her live for my sake? We were classmates, after all.""Should I let her live so th

Avery could still raise the children without Elliot. Without him, her life and career would go on without a hitch."If it weren't for you, Chelsea wouldn't have incessantly come after me, and Tammy wouldn't have gotten hurt because of it! I wouldn't have given birth prematurely either! What else have you given me but pain, Elliot Foster?!" The emotions buried in the recesses of her heart exploded to the surface. Avery's criticism left Elliot with nowhere to hide from his shame."Avery—""Don't say my name!" she cut him off. "Get out of my house right now! Don't meddle in my business ever again! As for the baby… We'll talk about it when he's out of the hospital!"Elliot's hands tightened into fists as he watched her being on the verge of breaking down. Reason told him that he had to leave immediately! If he continued to stay, it would only further aggravate her.He had already made his decision, and he would not change his mind.At least Avery merely despised him now, instea
