Chapter 579 Elliot gazed outside the door and Avery had already driven off in her car. “Um… Sorry! I
thought you made her cry!” Mike dragged him towards the elevator by the arm. “Let me get you a drink.
She told us to leave her alone, so it’s better that you stay away from her for now.”
Elliot scowled. “You really don’t know what’s wrong with her?”
“Not a clue! She was fine when she showed up to work this morning. Why else would I think that you
pissed her off just35 now?”
Elliot followed Mike into the elevator.
“Do you know how she managed to get 300 million, then?” Elliot asked. “She paid me back with 300
million today and according to what I know, she doesn’t have that much cash flow even with both her
companiesee combined.”
“You came looking for her to ask about this?”
6f”Yeah.”
“I don’t know!” Mike was not going to tell him the truth. “She is keeping things from me now because I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtam close with Chad, so she feels like I’ve shifted to your side.”
Elliot’s eagle-like eyes locked onto Mike’s68 face.
Feeling uncomfortable , Mike forcefully changed the subject. “You are dating Chelsea to piss Avery off,
right? Aren’t you worried that she might get so angry that something happens to the baby?”
“So you are saying that despite the fact that she dumped me, I still need to ‘preserve my purity ‘for
her?” Elliot7a retorted.
“Even if you can’t do that, you don’t have to start dating Chelsea so f*cking soon, do you? Can’t you
wait until she gives birth to the baby?”
“What makes you think that she cares if I date another woman”
“What makes you think she doesn’t care?”
“She dumped me!” Elliot gritted out. “If she does care, why would she dump me?!”
The anger oozing from Elliot had Mike swallowed nervously.
The elevator arrived at the designated floor following a ‘Ding!’ and the door opened.
The two stepped out of the elevator and walked towards Mike’s office.
“Elliot, have you ever tried understanding why she broke up with you?” Mike closed the office door and
asked.
“She blames me for signing the surgery agreement without her consent, and that I didn’t place our child
as a top priority,” Elliot analyzed the reason behind their breakup in an organized manner, “she doesn’t
think that I can be a good father, so she doesn’t want to raise a child with me.”
Mike scowled. “You are both right and wrong at the same time. Though she doesn’t trust you, she still
loves you! She broke up with you out of fear that something might go wrong with the baby and she is
trying to take it all on by herself.”
Elliot’s lips curled into a sarcastic sneer. “Did she say that?”
“What the f*ck are you smiling at? What’s so funny?!” Mike cursed, “if only Shea’s condition hadn’t
improved to the current state, she would still be kept into the golden cage you set up for her! If
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomething is wrong with your baby with Avery, are you going to lock it up and keep it from contacting
the outside world as well?!”
Elliot’s expression darkened at Mike’s words. “I was keeping Shea in a golden cage? Is that what you
all think of me?!”
“What do you mean if that’s what we think of you? Isn’t what I said the truth?! Who else knew that Shea
existed before she was starting to recover?! You kept her existence from the outside world because
you are ashamed of her!” Mike’s tone became extremely stern.
He knew that Avery didn’t have the courage to say these words to Elliot, so he had to be the one to lay
all cards on the table; otherwise, Elliot would only acknowledge the fact that Avery broke up with him
mercilessly, instead of realizing how problematic he was as a person.
Elliot clenched his fists as his eyes glammed coldly.
He moved his lips to explain, but the words wouldn’t come out. Not all pain was meant to be shared
with outsiders.
In the hospital, Avery laid on the bed and was getting ready to undergo amniocentesis.
The doctor had advised her to be checked since the results of the Down syndrome were not ideal. If
further tests showed unfavorable results, the pregnancy would have to be terminated.
