Chapter 1688

Avery answered the phone and heard Elliot's low and slightly anxious voice. "Avery. Layla and Robert are both crying. Please don't go, okay?" "What do you take me for? A nanny?" Avery shot back. "If you don't want Layla and Robert to be sad, you can give me custody of them. If you agree, I'll go over right now and pick them up." Elliot's breathing became heavier on the other side of the phone. He had a lot of things to say to her, but her attitude made it difficult for him to say them. "I'm about to board the plane," Avery's heart started to count down the time. "Are you going to give me the children or not? You can always find some other woman after that and have as many children as you want…" The more Elliot listened, the angrier he became. Avery was insulting him to no end, and she did not even need to use any expletives. His face become ashen, then pale, while his body could not stop shaking at all. When he was about to hang up, he felt as if his fingers were frozen stiff.
