Chapter 518 Elliot lowered his eyes to gaze at Layla’s adorable, puffed-up cheeks, then corrected her,” How could

you call me by my full name like that? That’s not very polite.”

Layla let out a huff, then said, “It’s because you’re a bad man.”

“Did your mother say that?” EHiot asked with a calm face.

He was not upset. Layla was just a child. What did she35 know?

She only knew things that adults told her about.

“No way! Mommy wouldn’t say bad things behind someone’s back!” At this point, Layla was worried about snitching

on her brother, so she cleverly changed the subject and asked, “What

are youe8 making?”

“Sweet barbecue ribs,” Elliot replied as he showed the marinated ribs to her. “It’s your mother’s favorite. What do

you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

Layla answered without hesitation, “I want chocolate! I also want meat! Could you hide some chocolate in the meat

for me? Whatever you do, don’t let Mommy find79 out!”

Elliot thought about it, then said, “I can do that for you, but can you tell me what your brother’s favorite dish is?”

Layla’s sparkling eyes rolled in their sockets as she said, “Hayden likes vegetables, but he definitely won’t eat it if

you made it. You’re the person he hates the87 most!”

Elliot had a feeling that he had to slowly make up for his past mistake.

Once Layla left the kitchen, Chad sighed and said, “There’s no need for you to stoop this low, 7a Sir.”

With Elliot washing Avery’s feet and cooking for her, Chad wondered if this was still the same boss he knew.

If washing her feet was considered an act of passion between lovers, then what about cooking a meal?

“Aren’t you doing the same by cooking for Mike?” Elliot teased in a deep voice.

“That’s different. I like cooking,” Chad said.

“I like cooking for Avery,” Elliot responded.

Chad was left speechless.

Elliot had won.

When lunch was served, Avery tried the sweet barbecue ribs that Elliot made for her. He had added too much

sugar, so it was very sweet.

“It’s a little too sweet,” she said softly to Elliot, giving him her opinion. Elliot tested a piece himself, and found that it

was, in fact, too sweet.

“I won’t add in as much sugar next time.”

Avery was stunned.

“Next time?” she thought. “There was going to be a ‘next time?”

She did not dare overthink things.

She saw Layla eating a lobster tail at the smaller table in the dining room, then called out,” Why are you eating

there by yourself, Layla?”

“I added some chocolate in her lobster,” Elliot explained. “She’s afraid of you finding out.”

Avery frowned and said, “Did she ask you to add chocolate?”

“She did. There were three lobster tails, but I only added a little piece of chocolate.” Elliot then leaned in and said

into her ear, “Cut me some slack. It’s rare for your daughter to be willing to eat my cooking.”

With those words, how could Avery not spare him his dignity?

After lunch, Elliot went into Avery’s room to rest.

He was at his limit after staying up all night.

Once Elliot went upstairs, Tammy suggested a game of poker. Mike and Ben immediately agreed. Wesley did not like

playing cards, but was forced to join in.

Avery sat behind Tammy and watched them play.

“Avery, I heard Elliot really went all out just to see you this time!” Tammy said.

“What do you mean?” Avery had not registered what Tammy was talking about yet.

“Ben said Elliot made a huge donation to the Border Security Force just so he could see you.” Tammy sighed, then

said, “He’s so generous with his money! This one meeting with you cost him millions!”

It was true that Elliot was something of a spendthrift. Otherwise, he would not have paid out as much as three

hundred million dollars to Zoe Sanford.

Avery felt frustrated every time she thought about this.

She despised Zoe, but she allowed her to make three hundred million dollars from doing absolutely nothing!

If Elliot Foster was a foolish man, then Avery Tate was a foolish woman!

As Ben watched Avery’s cold expression and guessed her thoughts, he decided to smooth things over and said,

“That’s where you’re wrong, Tammy. Money is nothing to Elliot. However, of all the years that I’ve known him, I’ve

never once seen him cook for someone, let alone…”

Avery was in a bad mood, so she cut Ben off and said, “Get on with your game. I’m going to take a nap.”
