Chapter 494

The weeks flew by in a flash.

The next day was Children's Day, as well as the day of Avery's prenatal checkup.

At first, she was afraid that it was impossible for the baby to make it.

After all, she had ingested too many medical drugs at the early stages of her pregnancy.

Unexpectedly, the baby was strong enough to hold on until today.

If the checkup goes well tomorrow, the hospital would open a new pregnancy medical file for Avery.

"Is Elliot going to the checkup with you tomorrow, Avery?" Mike asked during dinner.

"Do you have a date tomorrow? I can just go by myself,"Avery said.

Mike raised his brows and asked, "Elliot isn't going with you?"

"I don't need him nor you to come with me. Otherwise, people might think that you're the father."

"Get the nanny to go with you."

"She needs to stay home with the kids. Go on your date and don't worry about me," Avery said, then tooka sip of soup.

"I already made an appointment.I should be done by noon."

"Okay,"

Mike responded absentmindedly as he tapped his slender fingers away on his phone. Less than two minutes later, he looked up at Avery DAx-AOK,I said, "Elliot's going to the checkup with you tomorrow!" A very put down her spoon, then lifted her gaze at him and said, "Did Chad say that?" Mike nodded and said, "Elliot probably didn't tell you because he's afraid you'd refuse."

"I'll wait for you at the hospital tomorrow morning, Avery," Elliot said firmly as if the matter was not up for discussion. A very did not want his company, but she also could not refuse.

I'll take her with me tomorrow." Elliot's voice was low and magnetic. "Bring the kids along.It's Children's Day tomorrow." "Elliot..." A very began to speak as she prepared to discourage him. However, Shea's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Who are you talking to, Big Brother? Is it Avery? I want to talk to her."

"Shea wants to talk to you," Elliot said to Avery.

"I'll pass the phone over to her."

Once Shea was on the phone, Avery pulled back her hostility.

After the phone call, she walked over to the children.

"Do you two want to see Shea? Shall we have dinner with her tomorrow?"

Worried that the children would refuse, she decided to play the sympathy card and added, "Shea got sick a little while back."

Layla showed a pitying look, then said, "Sure! It's Children's Day tomorrow.I want to buy a present for Shea! She's always the one giving us presents."

"I don't feel like having dinner with Dirtbag Dad," Layla said as she pouted her lips unhappily. "Listen to Mommy," Hayden said. Hayden despised Elliot more than Layla did, but he knew that he could not upset his mother right now. Otherwise, Avery and the baby she was carrying might be in danger. "Okay...Do you think the baby will live with us once it's born?" "I don't know."

"I feel like living with it sometimes, but sometimes I don't...I don't want it stealing my toys, but I'm also worried it would get picked on at Dirtbag Dad's place."

"Go to sleep." Hayden only wanted his mother to be happy. Everything else was secondary. The next morning, Elliot's car pulled up outside of Avery's house.
