Chapter 466

Chapter 466 Avery lifted her gaze to look at Mike, then said, “Can’t you just let me eat in peace? We

didn’t talk about any of that!”

“What did you talk about all afternoon, then?” Mike said with a look of astonishment. “Why was he

upstairs? Did he sleep in your room? Well?”

“Do I ever freak out when you bring Chad home to stay the night?”

“Chad’s my boyfriend. Is Elliot Foster your boyfriend?” Mike teased. “How can your ex husband possibly

compare to my boyfriend? Or are you planning on making things official with him 25 again?”

Avery was taken aback.

“You’re so annoying,” she said with furrowedoc brows.

“Fine, I won’t say anymore. Go on and eat,” Mike said as he felt bad seeing Avery’s skinny figure.

Avery picked up her spoon and took a sip of her23 soup.

It was still warm.

The children were staring at her without blinking their2a eyes.

Avery’s cheeks flushed as she said, “Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Mommy, will you still love Hayden and me once the baby’s born?” Layla35 asked.

“Of course!” Avery exclaimed. “Of course I love you and your brother.”

It was because she loved them too much that she did not want Elliot finding out about them.

Layla felt relieved. Her eyes that were filled with curiosity blinked as she asked, “Is the baby a boy or a

girl?”

Avery could not help but chuckle.

“The baby’s still really tiny, sweetie. It’s too early to tell if it’s going to be a boy or a girl.”

Layla was surprised.

“I see…”

“It’s even smaller than an egg right now!”

Layla was even more shocked.

“Were Hayden and I like that when we were babies, too?”

“That’s right. We all start out as tiny babies and grow up slowly.”

Layla nodded, then raised another question.

“Why aren’t you eating much, Mommy? Is it because the baby won’t let you?”

Hayden thought his sisters incessant questions were interrupting Avery’s meal, so he pulled Layla away

and took her back to their room.

Mike took a sip of water, then walked over to Avery’s side.

“Your pregnancy was a huge surprise this time. You should’ve told the kids about it first… They’ve been

upset since yesterday,” Mike said softly.

“Elliot wanted this baby,” Avery said bitterly.

“What? Are you giving the baby to him to raise once it’s born?”

“That’s the plan for now, but I don’t know if I’ll change my mind later on.”

“That’s right. You might as well just give birth to it first!” Mike said as he very quickly accepted the

situation. “You shouldn’t go to the office, then. Stay home and take care of yourself and the baby.”

“Early pregnancy symptoms only happen during the first trimester. I’ll go back to work once the nausea

goes away.”

“Why are you working so hard? What if something happens to the baby?” Mike said as he shot Avery a

look. “Since Elliot wanted the baby, he’d go insane if you suddenly lose it.”

“How do you know him so well?”

“I just have to see him as a lunatic!” Mike shrugged, then said, “If you accidentally miscarry, I bet he’ll

force you to get pregnant again.”

His words put Avery’s stomach in knots.

Over at the Foster mansion, the black Rolls-Roice pulled into the front yard. Elliot emerged from the car,

but Shea grabbed onto his arm before he could stand upright.

“Give me my ID, Big Brother.” Elliot sighed internally when he saw the nervous expression on his sister’s

face.

“Am I more important, or is your ID more important?”

Shea froze for a moment, then said, “Both are important.”

Elliot did not expect Shea’s clear thought process and high adaptability.

This was the happiest day of his life since his mother’s passing.

Not only was Shea’s condition improving, Avery was also pregnant with his child.

Elliot entered his study, got out Shea’s ID and gave it to her. “This is an important document, Shea,” he

said. “You have to tell me right away if you lose it.”
