Mrs. Scarlet: “Well, is the injury on your head okay?”
Averie: “It’s alright.”
Mrs. Scarlet whispered, “Averie, Mr. Foster blames himself. I came out at seven in the morning and saw Mr. Foster was drinking coffee in the living room. I guess he didn’t sleep all night. He blamed himself more than anyone else for hurting you.”
“I know.” After Averie finished speaking, Mrs. Scarlet saw Elyette approaching, so she immediately retreated.
After breakfast, Averie went back to the room.
Elyette followed closely.
“You didn’t sleep last night?” Averie asked.
Elyette: “Sleep.”
“You lied. Mrs. Scarlet said she saw you drinking coffee in the living room early in the morning.” Averie exposed him.
Elyette: “Didn’t you lie to the doctor too? I did the wound on your head, you don’t have to save face for me.”
Averie: “Are you proud?”
“Do you look proud of me?” Elyette tone was soft Come down, “what are you going to do today?”
Averie: “don’t worry about what I do, you go to bed now.”
“Oh.” Elyette planned to go back to his room to sleep, but he was thinking about her, “Averie, did you go to bed last night? You said we’ll talk today.”
Averie retorted, “Did I say that? Didn’t I say we’ll talk after the New Year? But you can talk now if you want.”
Elyette: “Then let’s talk now.”
If Elyette doesn’t talk about it, he won’t sleep well. After taking a bath last night, he wanted to go to the guest room to sleep, but he never felt sleepy.
On the one hand, he had a conflict with Averie and felt guilty. On the other hand, Averie was accidentally injured, and the guilt doubled.
Back in the bedroom, Averie opened the window to let in the cold air.
“Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?” The two of them were wearing thin clothes, and the moment the cold air came in, they could clearly feel the coldness.
“I’m afraid you won’t wake up.” Averie teased.
“I’m very awake.” Elyette sat down beside the bed and looked at her with scarlet eyes. “We will not divorce or separate, but we will raise three children together.”
Averie: “If that kid Rebecca came to you in the future, what would you do?”
“In the future, if things related to them are unavoidable, then let you come forward.” Elyette thought about it all night and made up his mind.
–He is affectionate towards Rebecca and that child, but he is affectionate towards Averie and their three children.
–Averie didn’t make it a big deal, and now the three children don’t know about it, so Elyette can still remedy it.
–If things get really messed up, Hayden and Layla will hate Elyette to death.
–What Elyette fears most is not that the child hates him, but losing Averie.
Averie only had a cold war with him for a day, and Elyette suffered so much that he could not sleep. If Averie really disappeared from his world, Elyette didn’t know how to live in the future.
Elyette’s answer gave Averie a heavy sigh of relief.
If Elyette did it on New Year’s Eve, Averie would never be angry.
If Elyette answered this yesterday, Averie would not continue to lose her temper with him.
“Have you thought about it?” Averie asked, taking a breath.
“It’s very clear.” Elyette replied firmly.
With his definite answer, the haze in Averie’s heart was instantly dispelled, and the world suddenly became brighter. But it felt a little unreal.
Averie: “Go to sleep first. When you are asleep, talk about it.”
Elyette: “You don’t believe my answer just now.”
Averie closed the window and said, “I have nothing to do today, I can’t go out with my head like this, I’ll just stay at home.”
“Then you sleep with me.” Elyette invited.
“Having a headache from sleep.” Averie didn’t want to lie down. “I don’t mean the wound hurts, but I slept enough last night. Go to sleep, I’ll go downstairs and wait.”
Averie went downstairs to find Mrs. Scarlet. She found that Mrs. Scarlet was packing things in Shea’s room.
Averie: “Mrs. Scarlet, what are you packing?”
Mrs. Scarlet sighed: “Isn’t Shea going to marry Wesley? I’ll help her pack up the things she uses and bring it with her.”
“You must be very reluctant to Shea.” Averie walked into the room and sat down on the chair in front of the vanity mirror.
Mrs. Scarlet showed a kind smile: “Of course I can’t bear it, but I’m more happy for her. I’m too old to take care of her for the rest of my life. It’s good to have Wesley to take care of her in the future. I also hope that Adrian will be able to take care of her in the future. I have a good home. In this way, I can also be worthy of the old lady’s kindness to me.”
Averie said, “Mrs. Scarlet, Mrs. Foster always knew that Elyette was not her son. She always paid Nathan before her death, which was considered as Adrian’s living expenses.”
Mrs. Scarlet said calmly, “Averie, do you think Mrs. Foster is cruel? She was in that environment, and she was helpless. You haven’t seen Jaxson Foster, you don’t know how depressed the Foster family was before.”
Averie listened quietly.
“Jaxson Foster was a very typical businessman. He was all about making money and didn’t care about his family. He didn’t respect his wife very much. He only treated his wife as a tool to give birth and take care of children. He never cared about children, but if Madam didn’t take good care of the child, he scolded and abused her… Madam seemed to live a bright and beautiful life on the surface, but she was actually very aggrieved in private.”
Mrs. Scarlet lowered her head.
“If Madam hadn’t done this in the first place, her life with Adrian and Shea would have been even more difficult. So I never blame Madam for being cruel.”
“But after Jaxson Foster died, she didn’t bring Adrian back to her side.” Aver raised her own doubts, “If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to separate myself from my own children. Even if I secretly raised it outside, like Shea, it would be better than giving it to an unreliable person like Nathan.”
Mrs. Scarlet explained, “Averie, you’re right. Elyette is too good. Since kindergarten, he has been smarter and more sensible than other children. He is the pride of his wife. Jaxson Foster was also very proud of it. The atmosphere was also much better than before. After Jaxson Foster’s death, Elyette was also grown up, can Elyette accept his real life experience? Certainly not. This kind of peace that has come so hard, Madam is afraid of being broken. I understand her mood.”
Averie also understood. Just like she knew that it would be very cruel to separate Elyette and the child from Yonroeville, but she had to separate them.
–What qualifications does Averie have to say that Mrs. Foster is cold-blooded and ruthless?
In the evening, Mrs. Cooper came back with three children.
Hayden and Layla brought Averie a lot of delicious snacks and specialties.
Mrs. Cooper said, “Chad brought these specialties from his hometown. Chad made today’s lunch and dinner. Seriously, Chad’s cooking skills are really good. Pretty.”
Averie: “He’s really good at cooking. Where’s Mike?”
Mrs. Cooper smiled, “Mike helped him today. We went over in the morning, and Chad entertained us. Mike was sleeping. Then Robert fell and cried loudly and woke him up. Have you eaten?”
“I did.” Averie glanced at the stairs, “Elyette’s still sleeping.”
“Why is Mr. Foster still sleeping? Do you want to wake him up? If he continue to sleep, he won’t be able to fall asleep later at night.” Mrs. Cooper reminded.
“I’ll go up and have a look.” Averie went up to take a look before dinner. Seeing that Elyette was sleeping soundly, so she didn’t wake him up.
But it was getting dark now, and Averie couldn’t let Elyette sleep any more.
She pushed open the bedroom door.
On the bed, Elyette heard a slight noise and opened his eyes.
Elyette slept well, and now a little sound can be heard very clearly.
Averie saw that Elyette was awake, so she turned on the headlights in the room.
Elyette looked out the window. Outside the window, the twilight was getting darker, and his eyes suddenly dimmed. He slept for so long.
“What are you thinking?” Averie stood in front of him and looked at him, “You’ve slept for so long, you must be hungry now, right?”
Elyette felt it carefully and took a breath: “My head hurts a little.”
Averie: “The wound still hurts. Pain after sleeping for a long time?”
“All.” Elyette lifted the quilt, “It’s a little hot.”
Averie: “The children are back. Go eat! I’ve already eaten.”
