After Elliot left the office, Mike returned into the office.
"What does your ex-husband want with you? He looks very fierce. Did he bully you?" Mike asked as he brought Avery to her chair and gave her a glass of water.
At first, Avery was feeling very angry. After seeing how attentive Mike was, Avery felt a little relieved, "He thought you were my boyfriend and I did not deny it. Will it cause any trouble to you?"
Mike blinked his eyes and said, "Just your boyfriend? If you want, I can be your husband. We can get married now."
Avery said, "I don't plan on getting married. Leave the space to write your true love's name on it."
Mike said with a depressed face, "I don't plan on getting married too. My ex hurt me too deeply. I don't think there is a true love for me in this world."
Many years ago, Mike had a tumor inside of his brain. Avery was the one who operated on it and the operation was successful. However, in the midst of his illness, his boyfriend who Mike had been with for five years, dumped him. After the operation, Mike and Avery founded Alpha Technologies. 1
"Stop thinking about the unhappy thoughts. Have you found a place to stay? I can book a hotel for you if you
haven't." Avery took out her phone and wanted to search for a hotel.
"I'm going to stay with you. I have already brought my luggage to your house. Your mother was very friendly to me," said Mike pleasingly, "Think about our relationship. Your house is my house. Why should I stay in a hotel?" 1
Avery was speechless. However, she was not going to argue with him since Mike was gay.
Hayden did not attend school today. He and Layla went to Cole's company. They wanted to know who their real birth father was. Since Elliot was a harder target to get close to, they had no choice but to start with Cole.
During the lunch break, Cole walked out of his office and planned to have lunch at a nearby restaurant. Layla appeared in front of the office with her backpack.
