Elliot and Avery

Chapter 178

Chapter 178

Avery massaged her temples with her fingers. She thought that she would not be affected by his affairs

anymore after getting a divorce. So why did her heart still feel hurt? Since Elliot cared about Shea so

much, why could he not just focus on Shea and be together with Shea forever?

After giving it some thought, Avery found her answer very quickly. She did not care which woman he

was with. She just could not accept that he was such a scumbag. It was hard to admit that she fell in Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

love with a scumbag as it would make her question herself about her choice in men.

“Avery, are you alright?” asked Tammy worriedly, “I shouldn’t have told you. But if I didn’t tell you, you

would still find out eventually.”

“I’m alright,” said Avery as she picked up the glass of water and took a drink.

“This is his choice. As long as he is happy with it,” Avery continued to say.

“Jun said it was a request from Zoe. Her treatment was quite effective. Elliot wanted to pay her but she

doesn’t want any money,” explained Tammy.

“You don’t have to explain it to me,” said Avery as she felt a little sick, “If he is not willing to, no one can

force him.”

“I heard Shea will need further treatment for her illness. Elliot wants Zoe to continue treating Shea so

he had no choice but to agree with Zoe’s request.” Tammy continued to explain. However, the more

she explained, the more she felt like she was defending Elliot for his actions.

Avery sneered, “Good for them. Since Zoe doesn’t mind Elliot being a womanizer, it’s a win win

situation for all three of them.”

Tammy adhered, “That’s right. Zoe has moved in with Elliot now. It’s just weird. Never mind, as long as

they don’t feel weird about it. Forget that scumbag. He will not exist in our topics anymore.”

“Okay. I’m busy with work nowadays. Let me treat you to dinner when I’m done with work,” said Avery

“Okay!” Tammy replied.

After finishing the conversation with Tammy, Avery fell into deep thought as she held the glass of water

in her hands. She did not know anything about Zoe. However, after this incident, she discovered that

Zoe was quite courageous.

In actuality, Zoe was not the one who performed surgery for Shea and yet, she dared to use it

as leverage to ask Elliot to be her boyfriend. Was she not afraid that Elliot would discover the truth?

Nevertheless, it did not matter to Avery at all whether Elliot knew the truth.

Zoe wanted Elliot and Avery wanted nothing to do with him, not his money nor his person. The only

thing Avery wanted was to live a good life with her children. Hence, Avery did not plan on exposing

Zoe’s lie.

It was already nighttime when Avery returned home feeling tired. The TV in the living room

was on.

Layla rushed towards Avery, “Mummy, you are back! Are you tired?”

Avery shook her head, “I’m not tired, Layla. Do you feel tired going to school?”

“Since mummy is not tired, so is Layla,” said Layla with her cute face.

She pulled Avery to sit down with her on the sofa. When Avery sat down, the TV was broadcasting

financial news. Coincidentally, Elliot’s face appeared on the screen.

“Layla, was it you who switched on the TV?” Avery wondered why her daughter was watching the

financial channel.

Layla glanced at Hayden, “It was Hayden… I switched the channel…”

Since the financial news was showing Elliot on-air, Layla must have seen it and watched the news for

the first time.

“Oh…” Avery put her arm around Layla and looked at Hayden, “Hayden, come over here. I have

something to tell the both of you.”

Hayden was working on a puzzle. He came over after listening to Avery. When Hayden came over,

Avery pointed at Elliot’s handsome face on TV and instructed her children, “You must remember his

face. If you ever see him or bump into him, you must walk away and do not get close to him.”

Layla looked puzzled, “Why, mummy?”

Avery pondered and said, “He might strangle you to death if he ever finds out about the both of you.”

Those were the exact words that Elliot had said before. He said, he would strangle their children if

Avery ever give birth. Since Elliot knew that Avery had two children around her, it was better to tell her

children to stay away from him.

It would be best if Elliot did not look further into it. Avery was afraid that Elliot might find out that Layla

and Hayden were his children.

Layla frowned immediately. She took the remote control and switched off the TV. Originally, she was

quite fond of Elliot since he was quite good-looking. However, it turned out that Elliot was a bad person.
