Chapter 271
They had not informed him ahead of time before visiting.
Elliot did no t want them over, as they were all strangers to Shea, and they would startle her.
Rosalie stood at the very front and as soon as she saw Shea, her eyes gleamed, and she could not help but approach Shea.
Elliot stood in front of Shea and said, “Mom, why did you come here without telling me first?”
“Today’s your I bought a cake.”
Rosal ie lowered her gaze and mumbled, “I know I shouldn’t come here unannoun ced, but I can’t he lpit…”
She could not resist her urge to see Shea.
Shea heard Rosalie’s voice and was both nervous and curious at the same time. Rosalie could see her do elike eyes peeking at her from behind Elliot.
“Shea, you aren’t afraid of me,are you?”
Rosalie looked at her with anticipation.
Shea imme diately lowered her head again, her grip on Elliot’s clothes tightening in response.
Elliot reached his hand behind and held her hand.
“Mom, go home!
We’ve already had cake at school,” he said coldly.
“Take your cake with you.”
Rosalie sighed.
Though it was unfortunate, she still felt satisfied to see that her daughter was doing well.
The group soon exited the building and Elliot led Shea back into the house.
“Madame Rosalie has just got here, and she wouldn’t let me tell you,” Mrs.
Cooper said apologetically.
Elliot looked over at Zoe, who was standing by the side.
Zoeimmediately explained, “I’ve been here sinces ixin the evening, Elliot.
If you’ve already had your cakes, then I will take the cake away.”
Zoehad brought a cake that she had made herself.
Seeing how frightened she appeared to be, Elliot scowled.
Was he that scary?
Scanned with CamSca nner With that, she took the cake a ndleft; but sinc e she came out, she had been absorbed in her thoughts.
The way Rosalie had looked at Shea was not normal.
It was Elliot’s bi rthday and he was supposed to be the main focus, but Rosalie could no t seem to take her eyes off Shea.
With all sorts of thoughts in her head, she messaged Cole.
Cole replied, (Dr.
Sanford, I can’t talk to you about this, or my dad is going to skin me alive.)
Zoe felt even more curious by his response, (Iwill skin you as well if you won’t tell me. Do you prefer being skinned metaphorically by your dador physically by me?
) “… What a vicious woman!
” Cole thought to himself.
When he did not reply immediately, Zoesent another message.
(Letm e guess, Shea is related to the Foste rfamily, isn’t she?
Is she Elliot’s ex wife?
Maybe it’s because of her disability that the Foster Family decided to keep everything about her a secret?
] Cole read her theory with resignat ionand replied, (Dr.
Sanford, I don’t kn ow what’s really going on with Shea either, but I don’t think it’s like that.
) (Then what is it like?
] (She is definitely not my uncle’s girlfriend.
How could I not know if they had been married before?)
Zoe was overjoyed. As long as she knew that Shea was not Elliot’s girlfriend, who she truly was did not matter.
At three in the morning, in the master bedroom of the Starry River Vill a, Avery’s phone started ringing.
She reached up to rub her eyes, before answering the call. Someone on the other side of the line said something, and she sat up from the bed abruptly.
