Yet he had just found out about it.
Avery met his eyes, which were burning with rage, and retorted in frustration, "you always manage to find a way to humiliate me!"
'Whose child does he think it would be, if not his?' She thought, 'Eric's, or Mike's?'
"If it's mine, why didn’t you tell me?!" Elliot did not realize that there was an issue with his suspicion, as her action had brought back memories of the past.
It was not the first time she had hidden her pregnancy from him. He hated how it felt to be kept in the dark while she toyed with him like a fool.
"Don't you ever get tired of this, Elliot?" She stared at the furious expression on his face and said in desperation, "I am... I am so tired... No matter what happens, you can always find a reason to be mad at me! Who do you think I am? What exactly am I to you?!"
Avery pressed on the button in the elevator to open the door.
Elliot glanced at the display screen and realized that they had only reached the third floor.
The elevator opened slowly and Avery strode off.
Elliot followed closely behind as his heartbeat sped up. "Avery Tate! What are you thinking?"
"I am getting rid of this child!" Resentment filled her eyes as she shouted in a hoarse voice, "I have had enough! This child would only suffer if I give birth to it! If that's destined to happen, why should I give birth to it?!"
Elliot had forced her to go through abortion when she got pregnant five years ago, and he had never imagined that things would take such a turn at the time.
He felt as though he had been stuck in the heart when he heard that she was going to get rid of their child and he could barely breathe through the excruciating pain.
Unable to think properly, he followed his instinct and stopped her.
"I won't allow you to get rid of our child!" His eyes reddened as he grabbed her by the shoulder and stopped her from moving forward. "Give birth to it! Even if it's a freak, you have to give birth to it!" 'A freak! This is how he cursed his own child?' Tears scrolled down her face at the thought =e"=RLY: she shouted in tears, "you are the freak! You are!"
Unable to move her arms, she resorted to kicking him in the legs with all her might.
