"You must be Avery." Zoe went forward to greet her," Nice to meet you, I'm Zoe."
Avery glanced at her and said without enthusiasm," Yeah, I'm leaving now."
Avery and Hayden left.
Zoe watched as she left and zoned out for a moment.
Avery was younger and more beautiful than she imagined.
Why did she look for Elliot today? She even brought a boy here...was that Elliot's son?
So, she came here with the boy, trying to get back with Elliot?
Thinking of this, Zoe felt disgusted. 1
Would Elliot get back with Avery because of this?
"Elliot, sorry to show up unannounced." Zoe pointed at the cake on the table, "My friend bought this cake for me but I can't finish it on my own so I brought this over."
Elliot glanced at the cake, "Happy birthday, did you receive your gift?"
Zoe halted, "Someone did send me a parcel in the afternoon. I didn't know it was you who sent it, so I haven't opened it."
Elliot nodded, "I don't eat cake, and neither does Shea. You can eat with Mrs. Cooper!"
With that said, he walked toward Shea and brought her back to her room.
After they had left, Zoe took out the cake.
"Mrs. Cooper, when did Avery come?" Zoe smiled as she cut a slice for Mrs. Cooper.
Mrs. Cooper said, "Not long ago. She came to pick up her son."
"Oh...that boy was her son! He doesn't seem too young!"
Mrs. Cooper said, "He was adopted."
Zoe was shocked and at the same time, the alarm in her was lifted, "I thought he was a child of hers and Elliot."
"They did have a child. If they did not abort the baby, the baby should be around the age of that kid now." Mrs. Cooper thought there was no harm to say this. After all, this happened a long time ago. "I guess Avery adopted this kid to make up for the aborted baby."
