Chapter 1859
“Layla, how did you see it? Why didn’t mom see it?” Avery really didn’t see it. After all, after she came over, what she said to Elliot was serious business.
Layla said firmly: “He always stares at you. If he doesn’t like you, why is he staring at you? When Aunt Norah Jones came to our house, he didn’t stare at Aunt Norah Jones very much.”
“Layla, you can’t just look at whether you like someone or not. I was confronting him just now, and of course I will look at him.” Avery said, “I looked at him just now, do you want to say that I like him too?”
“Oh… Mom, don’t you like him at all?” Layla was a little puzzled, “My dad is still handsome, right?”
Avery couldn’t help laughing: “It’s okay! But sometimes there are no feelings, it has nothing to do with looks. If two people quarrel frequently, no matter how good-looking the other person is, they will only get bored.”
Layla: “But you two didn’t quarrel just now.”
“I can’t quarrel with him anymore.” Avery said, ” All the chips he thought he could threaten me were ineffective.”
“Mom, do you really want to teach him a lesson?” Layla looked at her mother and asked, “If there is anything I can do to help, just tell me. I’m definitely on your side!”
“Layla, your father and mother are adults. Even if I want to teach Elliot a lesson, I will teach him a lesson myself, and I definitely don’t need your help.” Avery said, taking her daughter from the bathroom come out.
Elliot knew that the two of them were whispering inside, but he didn’t hear what they said.
After Layla came out of the bathroom, she went to the kitchen to show her jewelry to Mrs. Cooper.
Avery walked towards the living room and wanted to transfer the money to him.
“Why did you buy such an expensive birthday present for your daughter?” Elliot asked her after giving her the card number, “It was an auction. If Norah Jones had bid with you at the time, what was your reserve price?”
In his impression, Avery’s spending money is definitely not like this.
Not only does she not spend money herself, but she also doesn’t like his spending money like running water.
But now, it’s just a birthday present, and Avery dares to spend tens of millions.
“People can change.” After Avery handed the money to him, she replied, “When I first met you, I was a girl who was not deep in the world. Elliot, don’t look at me now with the eyes of the past.”
“You are now?” Elliot looked at her as familiar with facial features as before, and found it hard to accept her change. “What are you like now?”
“That’s what you see now.” Avery didn’t want to continue with him look at each other. She always feels that his eyes are like an abyss, and if he continues to look at it, She’s afraid it will be bad.
Avery took an apple from the fruit bowl and took a bite.
“Didn’t you wash it?” Elliot took out a fruit knife from under the cabinet and handed it to her.
Avery embarrassedly swallowed the apple in her mouth, and then began to peel it: “you went to see Hayden, how was it?”
Elliot: “Did you not ask Hayden?”
Avery: “He didn’t say it, I didn’t ask.”
Elliot: “He has grown a lot taller and looks like an adult. But his temper is still the same…”
Avery felt that she couldn’t say anything good, so she turned her head to look at him.
Elliot stopped immediately and changed his words: “He still hates me as always. But he is good to Robert. He bought Robert a gift. He is also willing to talk to Robert.”
“Of course, Robert is his younger brother. He has no grudge against Robert.” Avery continued to peel.
“Do I have a grudge against him? Layla can forgive me, why can’t Hayden?” Elliot was willing to hold both Layla and Hayden in the palm of his hand. But Hayden didn’t give him the slightest chance.
“Do you think that I must have spoken ill of you in front of Hayden?” Avery teased.
