In the study on the second floor, Elyette clearly heard his son calling his mother.
Elyette knew that Layla had been secretly videotaping with Averie.
His daughter didn’t contact Averie in front of him, and he didn’t want to interfere.
As long as his daughter is by his side, he doesn’t care about the rest.
But now, hearing his son’s loud voice calling for his mother, Elyette’s heart was pounding.
He got up from his chair uncontrollably!
…
Averie saw her son appearing in the video, so it was inconvenient to tell her daughter about her studies.
And she saw that Robert was a little unfamiliar with her, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Averie wanted to hug her two children through the screen.
But everything is delusional.
Now that Averie and Robert have been separated for less than half a year, Robert feels unfamiliar with her. If they leave for a longer time, will Robert treat Averie like Layla treats Elyette?
After about twenty minutes of talking, Robert became irritable and started to make trouble with Layla, so Averie hung up the video.
From the bedroom, Averie walked towards the kitchen and got ready to make a simple breakfast.
“Averie, I bought you breakfast.” In the living room, Mike’s voice came, “Are you talking about a video call with Layla?”
“Why did you get up so early?” Averie walked towards the living room and asked worriedly, “I’m afraid you won’t believe it. Layla got angry with Elyette and deliberately smashed the exam.”
“This really seems like something Layla dared to do.” Mike picked up his coffee and took a sip, “You don’t have to worry about it, even if Layla usually does poorly in the exam, as long as she takes the high school entrance exam well in the final exam, it will be fine.”
“Well. When I see her during the winter vacation, I want to have a good chat with her. She is so angry that she lacks consideration.”
Mike finished his coffee and asked, “Do you know why I got up so early today?”
Averie: “Have you had a nightmare? Or is Chad coming to see you?”
Mike: “Hehehe… Chad won’t come, Ben Schaffer is here.”
At 7:30 this morning, Ben Schaffer called Mike and asked him to meet.
Mike slept in a daze at that time, and he thought that Chad was coming together.
After careful inquiry, he found that it was not what he thought.
“Is Ben Schaffer looking for Gwen? What is he calling you for?” Averie began to think.
“He said he was going to visit AN Technology. I guess it wasn’t for personal matters.” Mike glanced at the time, “I made an appointment with him at ten o’clock, and I should go out now.”
Averie was stunned and reminded him: “Mike, What to say and what not to say, you know what?”
“Of course I know. I have a boat with you, and he and Elyette have a boat.” After Mike finished speaking, he pointed to the kitchen, “I bought it. The dishes are in the refrigerator. You can order at noon if you want, and you can make your own if you don’t want to.”
Averie: “Okay.”
After Mike went out, Averie glanced at the breakfast on the coffee table.
A sandwich, a glass of room temperature milk.
Averie and Mike were not picky eaters, they could eat the same food for a lifetime.
…….
AN Technology.
When Mike arrived, he saw Ben Schaffer standing in the lobby on the first floor, not knowing who he was talking to.
Ben Schaffer saw Mike and immediately hung up.
Mike walked up to Ben and looked at him: “How about we go outside and talk? I always think you have bad intentions.”
“If I have bad intentions, I will not come to your site.” Ben Schaffer Pull Mike and walk to the elevator entrance, “Do you have any good tea here? Let’s chat while drinking tea.”
“It’s just that you old man like to drink tea.” Mike did not let go of any complaints. he said, “Who asked you to come here? Elyette?”
“Well, why did you mention Elyette?” Ben Schaffer didn’t care about his sarcasm, “Then what do you have to drink here? I’m a little sleepy.”
“Don’t you just get off the plane?” Mike glanced at his face, “What’s the urgency for you to find me? As for coming over as soon as you get off the plane?”
“It’s nothing urgent, I just feel sorry for Averie, and I’m embarrassed to go directly to tell Averie.” Ben Schaffer pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, “You also know that Elyette and I are deeply tied up in business. In terms of company decision-making, we basically listen to him.”
“Oh…” Mike understood what Ben Schaffer was talking about, “Is the Tate Industries’s branch in Bridgedale about to open? You came here this time for the opening, right? Elyette is also here?”
“He didn’t Come. Because he didn’t come, I have to come.” Ben Schaffer said helplessly, “There will be a grand ribbon-cutting event at that time.”
Mike: “Are you afraid that Averie will blame you? Don’t worry, her grievance with Elyette is not to blame on your head.”
The two entered the elevator, and after a while, came to Mike’s office.
“I came to you in my personal capacity.” Ben Schaffer entered Mike’s office, saw the refrigerator, and immediately walked over to pull it open, “Why so much milk? Aren’t you so healthy?”
Mike: “Averie asked the secretary to order it for me.”
“Averie treats you so well? Why do I think she’s not so careful with Elyette?” Ben Schaffer sneered, “No wonder you are so committed to her.”
“You don’t understand people like us who have no parents.” Mike took out a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and handed it to him, “I don’t have any tea, you can drink it!”
Ben Schaffer took the milk, “It’s good for you to take care of each other like this. But I want to know what your company will do next. And, I have some ideas, I don’t know if you want to listen.”
“Stop..” Mike stopped, “of course I won’t tell you what we plan to do next. I don’t want to listen to your advice.”
Ben Schaffer regretted, “It seems that you are planning to fight against Norah Jones. Norah Jones has Elyette’s support, it is very difficult for you to beat her.”
Mike: “Norah Jones is just a pawn of Elyette. It’s not so much that it is difficult for us to win her. Let’s say it is difficult for us to win against Elyette.”
Ben: “That’s the truth. In fact, as long as Averie goes to Elyette to have a good talk, Elyette will definitely not continue to target you.”
Mike said lightly, “Let him give up his fantasy. Averie will never go to find Elyette. She can even let go of the child, just a company, she has nothing to let go.”
“I really don’t want to see this situation.” Ben Schaffer regretted.
Mike; “Are you afraid that Gwen will stand on our side and ignore you?”
Ben Schaffer shook his head: “I’ve been single for most of my life, do you think I’ll be afraid of dying alone? I’m here to tell you this because I think Elyette has gone too far. If it were me, I would never have done this to my ex-wife.”
Five days later.
Tate Industries Bridgedale branch was grandly opened.
The company’s ribbon-cutting event was broadcast live by many well-known media in Bridgedale.
Mike was with Averie at home today.
Mike ordered a big cake without telling Averie in advance.
When the cake was delivered to the house, Averie smiled in surprise: “Can we both eat such a big cake? What festival is today? Why did you order the cake?”
The figure of Ben holding scissors and participating in the ribbon-cutting event of the new company.
“The company opened, let’s celebrate?” Averie couldn’t understand what Mike said.
“Why don’t you laugh?” Mike opened the cake, cut a piece, and handed it to her. “Eat more, think less. I suspect that when I’m not at home, you don’t have a good lunch at home every day. Have you lost weight?”
“You’re saying the exact opposite. I cook and eat well at noon every day.” Averie took the cake and fork, and took a small bite, “Gwen said she came to eat tonight, shouldn’t it be the same? To comfort me, right?”
“If I had known you were so late, I wouldn’t have reminded you.” Mike took the remote and turned off the TV.
“I didn’t think about that. Tell me or not, I know they will build a new company.” Averie removed the cream from the cake, “Why buy a cream cake? I still prefer tiramisu.”
“You asked the question before. Of course, I don’t mind answering you again.” Mike shrugged, “Layla and I prefer cream cakes. I miss Layla a bit, so I ordered cream cakes.”
Talking about Layla, The expression on Averie’s face sank a little.
Mike said, “Averie, I plan to go back to Aryadelle to see Layla and Robert. What do you think? Do you want to go back to Aryadelle with me? I will never reveal the information about your return to Aryadelle.”
