"Are they quarreling?" Mike kept paying attention to Avery's figure outside the door.
He saw Avery clench her fists.
"Probably! Elliot doesn't like other people doing stuff without his knowledge." Ben said, "I brought Robert out today and didn't tell him."
"He can't take his anger out on Avery!" Mike said, put down his glass, and wanted to go out and speak in Avery's defense.
Chad immediately dragged him back.
"What do you think you are doing? They're in the middle of a quarrel! I don't think Avery will lose. My boss is not good at quarreling." Chad didn't want to let Mike get in trouble because of his own foolishness. "The two of them haven't discussed their visitation rights before, so now is a good chance for them to figure it out."
Hearing that, Mike sat back and said," Aren't you afraid Avery might lose to Elliot?
"You're not of much help anyway!" Chad teased, "You're more of a hindrance than a help."
Mike glared at him. "I don't like to hear you say that."
"Whether you like it or not, it's the truth. As long as Avery doesn't ask you to help, you can leave them alone." Chad glared back at him, "Full of righteousness, aren't you?"
"Why are the two of you quarreling?" Lilith asked and stopped them, "Stop quarreling; I have something to say."
Mike and Chad immediately shut up.
Ben felt that Lilith was going to target him first.
"Ben, you lied just now and didn't even blink your eyes. Now I suspect you didn't have a word of truth in your mouth." Lilith was really targeting Ben.
Ben was ashamed. "I can't tell the truth to Elliot, can I? Do you want me to tell him that Robert was brought to Avery's house on purpose? What would he think? Would he still treat me as a friend if I told him the truth? If he doesn't treat me as a friend, I won't have a chance to bring Robert out to play in the future. Lilith, the world is not set in black and white; we look at problems and need to analyze many things."
Lilith didn't expect him to speak out to her.
"I just can't stand your cowardice." "Cowardice? I'm telling a white lie for the greater good." Ben said, "Lilith, I know you must be doubting what I said to you...I can swear that what I say to you is the truth!”
Ben raised his h=e%=QKX> and swore to the heavens in front of everyone.
Chad was stunned.
