Hayden felt that his eyes were bold and direct, which made people very uncomfortable. His usual eyes were much more reserved.
“My mother won’t promise to let you go out to socialize.” Hayden looked directly at Elliot, trying to stop him from going out. Otherwise, my mother will be anxious when she wakes up and sees that you’re not at home.
“Your mother supports my work.” Elliot didn’t expect his son to take the initiative to speak up, which was a bit unexpected, but he would not change his mind, “Hayden, your mother rarely makes video calls for your younger siblings recently, so you have to make video calls for them often.”
Elliot, what are you talking about? You asked Hayden to make video call for them, can’t you make it yourself? Don’t you have a mobile phone now?” Mike said, he felt strange, “Did you quarrel with Avery? Otherwise why does Avery get drunk? She doesn’t like drinking.”
“Mike, please accompany her to the Jones’s wedding tomorrow!” Elliot looked at Mike and explained, “It’s safer to go with her alone.”
Mike: “…”
“I’ve already eaten dinner, you guys go have it!” Elliot had already explained everything he wanted to explain, so he was about to leave.
If Elliot didn’t leave, he was afraid that something would happen.
He glanced at Chad, and Chad immediately received his meaning.
“Let’s go first.” After Chad said this to Mike, he left with Elliot.
Mike watched them leave, turned around, and looked at Hayden: “Do you think your father is a little weird? I can’t tell you what’s weird… It feels weird everywhere.”
Hayden didn’t know how to answer. He also thought Elliot was weird.
Especially the way Elliot looked at Hayden was a little scary.
Ali: “It’s not about Elliot. When she wakes up, you can ask her! If she has any worries, she won’t tell me. But I guessed it right away.”
……
Elliot and Chad went to the hotel.
“Boss, you’re not going back tonight?” Chad cautiously opened his mouth to break the silence, “Avery is drunk, don’t you take care of her? If she wakes up at night and sees you not there, she will definitely be anxious.”
“Chad, I want drink.” Elliot’s eyes were as deep as ink, looking out the window, “You accompany me to a bar!”
Chad: “Okay. But you can’t drink too much, I’m afraid your body can’t stand it.”
The two went to a restaurant near the hotel.
