Chapter 314
Layla and Hayden rushed to the front door and clearly saw the face of the man standing outside through the screen
on the door security system.
“Mommy! Dirtbag Dad is here!” Layla cried in a panicked yet excited voice as she ran towards her mother.
Avery put down her apron, then picked up her daughter.
“Don’t be scared, sweetie. Follow your brother to your room for now,” she said as she glanced at Hayden.
Hayden reluctantly walked over, then stayed in the bedroom with Layla.
Avery exited the children’s room, then strode past the living to the front door and opened it
up.
Elliot was standing right outside the door.
The glow from the sunset shone from behind him, enhancing his chiseled features.
“Shea’s missing. Her nanny said she lost her in your neighborhood,” Elliot said, explaining his intentions. “I’ve looked
through all the houses around here and still can’t find her.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Are you saying you want to search my house?” Avery asked as she gazed at him coldly.
Elliot met her icy eyes, then said calmly, “I’m here to find someone, not to raid your home.”
“What happens if you don’t find her here?” Avery asked as she opened the front door fully.
“What do you want?” Elliot said as he took a forceful step towards her.
The tense aura came at her like a scorching heatwave!
Avery took an abrupt step back, then quickly said, “If shes isn’t here, then you have to swear to never step foot in
my house ever again!”
Elliot frowned slightly, as if in deep thought.
When his lips parted a moment later, it was not to answer her question.
“Shea! Come out! Big Brother is here to take you home!” Elliot called out towards the empty living room behind
Avery.
If Shea were here, she would certainly come out one she heard his voice.
“Shea! Can you hear me? Big Brother is here to pick you up!” he called out once more when there was no
response.
Avery heard the intimate way Elliot referred to himself as “Big Brother”.
It was as if he really was Shea’s brother!
Even if he was, he could not be her biological brother.
After all, there was no information about Shea in the Foster family records.
Besides, would a normal man treat someone who was not his biological sister better than he treated his wife?
“Stop shouting, Elliot. Shea isn’t here. Go ahead and search the rooms if you don’t believe me, “Avery said, then
began to open up every room door in the house.
Elliot followed closely behind her.
Shea was not in the first or second rooms.
When they arrived at the third room, his eyes landed on the two children inside!
Hayden was holding Layla in his arms and glaring at him with eyes filled with resentment.
“Why do your children hate me so much, Avery?” Elliot asked Avery, confused. “Do you really not badmouth me in
front of them?”
“They hate you because you have an aura about you that children dislike. You’re not worth the effort of discussing
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmin front of my children,” Avery responded.
Elliot was angered by her eloquent reply, but he held back when he thought of how he had forced her to get an
abortion before.
“You were losing your mind when Shea went missing last time! Why do you have the time to pick a fight with me
this time?” Avery said mockingly. “Did you think some good samaritan will take her to the hospital again?”
Elliot accepted her ridicule, then explained patiently, “Her intellect was lower the last time she went missing. She’s
much better now.”
“I see… What if she gets even better?” Avery asked nonchalantly. “Will you care about her more or less?”
“There’s no need to be spiteful, Avery,” Elliot said as he suppressed the emotions in his dark eyes. “She’s nothing
but an idiot to you!”
It was as if Avery had struck a nerve in Elliot.
The expression on his face turned ominous and terrifying.
He did not continue his search, but walked away with clenched fists.
Once he was gone, Avery let out a heavy sigh and composed her emotions. He could not find Shea, but why did he
bring up the past?
