Chapter 690

Elliot felt that Avery was overreacting, so he sat down next to her.

When the nanny came over with the bowl of soup, she saw that their eyes were glued on each other.
She quickly placed the soup on the table and dismissed herself.

“If he really is tired, then he can rest at home for as long as he wants. I have no opinion.” Elliot was
worried that Hayden might hear him, so he lowered his voice and said, “It’s been a month since school
started. Hasn’t he had enough rest after staying home for a month?”

“I’ll go talk to him later.” Avery picked up her bowl of soup and ate a spoonful of it.

“He might not be tired, but hiding something from you instead.” Elliot took the spoon out of her hand,
then continued, “Your son is more complicated than you think.

Avery wanted to snatch the spoon back, but Elliot had already picked up a spoonful of soup and sent it
to her lips.

“I don’t want you to feed me.” She got the spoon back with reddened cheeks.

“I called his teacher and asked about it. She told me that he gets along very well with his schoolmates.
Everything was normal during summer camp, too.”

“He could be exposed to other things besides his schoolmates.” Elliot was sure about his guess.

“Besides, he wouldn’t stay at home for a whole month if nothing was wrong ated school.”

Avery did not suspect anything at first, but Elliot’s words instantly filled her with anxiety.

“Finish your soup first.” Elliot picked up his own bowl of soup and casually took a sip.



“You might not get anything out of him if you asked him directly. You’ll have to ask Mike.”

“I got it. I’ll ask Mike when he gets back,” Avery said softly as she finished her soup.

“We’re speaking very softly. Someone might think we’re plotting something.”

“Hayden came out for a second but went back to his room when he saw me,” Elliot continued to say
softly

“Oh… How about…”

“How about I go and talk to him?” He cut Avery off mid sentence.

“If I don’t settle the grudge between us, we’ll have more problems when I move in.”

Avery raised her brows and looked directly into Elliot’s burning eyes.

“Do you think you can settle the conflict between you two? Being confident is a good thing, but you’re
obviously blindly confident in yourself.”

“What do you think I should do?” Elliot’s mood turned cold after being insulted.

“He won’t accept any of my good will and avoids me every time he sees me. I’m out of ideas.”

This matter was tricky. He did not blame Hayden. This was all because of his own doing.

“All you have to do moving forward is not make any mistakes.” Avery could not think of any good ideas,
either.

“Hayden takes a while to warm up to people. You need to be more patient.”

“Okay.” Elliot took a mental note of her words.



“You haven’t taken an afternoon nap today. Do you want to go lie down now?”

“It’s a little late now. I’ll definitely not be able to sleep tonight if I take a nap now,” Avery said, then
yawned.

“Whatever. I think I’ll go lie down for a bit anyway. Didn’t you say you were busy? Go ahead and work.”

“I’ll leave once you’re asleep.”

Elliot helped Avery up the stairs.He left about half an hour later.

Once Elliot was gone, Hayden walked out of his room.He already found the darknet website that Nora
visited before.He used a fake identity to register as a member, then got to know one of the other
members.

Through chatting with this member, he basically came to the conclusion that Nora was not a person,
but a product.

This was because the function of this website was to provide its users with the type of person they
wanted

Users could customize the person’s figure, looks and voice.

It sounded unbelievable.

Hayden would not believe it if he had not seen it with his own eyes,

That night, Avery went to have a heart-to-heart with Hayden.

Hayden spoke up first and said, “I’m going back to school next week, Mommy.”



Avery had prepared a long script in her mind, but her son brought the subject to a close before she
could say any of it.

“Did you get enough rest?” Avery blinked.

“Yes, I did.”

Hayden handed over the information he found to Mike and left the rest of the investigation to him.

They wanted to catch Chelsea Tierney through the darknet website.

Nora was merely a pawn.

The one who was controlling her was definitely Chelsea.
