At noon, Avery came to the restaurant decided by Elliot and met with Susan.
After she sat down beside Elliot, she couldn't help but look at Susan.
Elliot said on the phone that the identification results showed that Susan was his mother.
"Are you Avery?" Susan had a kind and restrained smile, "You are so beautiful.”
Avery was also a little awkward, so she tried to find a topic: "Auntie, do you live in Bridgedale? When did you go there?"
Susan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment: "I've been there for quite a few years. This matter is a bit complicated... I was smuggled over to work there as an illegal immigrant then, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet my future husband there... I didn’t use the identity of Susan there."
Elliot’s doubts were explained.
He sent someone to check on Susan in Bridgedale but found no information.
"Then did your husband come with you?" Avery asked.
Susan shook her head. "He passed away the year before. In fact, I saw Elliot on the news before. When I saw Elliot, I thought he looked like me, but I didn't dare to think about it because he was so successful. I discovered that Elliot's biological father was Nathan, and I started to doubt it."
"Well, let's eat first! Otherwise, the food will get cold." Avery said with a smile.
Susan just returned from Bridgedale, and Avery was afraid she might not be used to Aryadelle's food taste.
Avery picked up the knife and fork, ready to cut the steak.
Elliot handed her some steak he had cut for her.
The two were talking just now, and he was silently cutting the steak.
