Avery did not think that that was a good solution, but there was no other way to hide Hayden. She would not feel safe hiding Hayden anywhere else. At least with Elliot, she could be less concerned. However, there was also Ruby to worry about...
"If Elliot told you to send Hayden over, it means that he has reached an agreement with Ruby," said her bodyguard, consoling her. "The women here in Ylore are quite traditional. They are taught to obey their husbands, and most women would have to take their husbands' family names. Had Ruby not been the lady of the Gould family, she would have had to change her surname as well."
Avery scowled, "But I can’t find Hayden!"
"Have you tried calling him?"
"I called him, and his phone was out of service."
"Try again, maybe?"
Avery immediately unlocked her phone and called Hayden, and this time, he picked up.
Once the call was answered, Avery said in excitement, "Hayden! Where are you right now? Christopher already knows that you are here and is sending his men everywhere to look for you!"
"I know," Hayden said casually.
"How do you know?! You can't stay in a hotel anymore!" "I'm not in a hotel." Hayden remained composed. "Mom, don't worry about me."
"How could I not worry about you?" Avery choked on her words, "Your dad said that you should hide at his house."
"No way," Hayden refused without hesitation. "One more day and Christopher is going to die. They won't have the time to search for me then."
Avery did not care if Christopher lived or died. She was only worried about Hayden and the trouble he might get into.
Aaron had driven Ruby here. She rolled down the car window ;e"
