Chapter 167 Not Her Child

Chapter 167 Not Her Child

Avery was in a great mood and repeatedly thanked Andrew, "Thank you, Andrew. You've helped me a

lot."

Now, as long as she found Jane's child and let him do a paternity test with Martin, she could prove that

Martin was not a despicable person.

"Avy, don't worry. I will continue to search for that man. However, it seems that he has already prepared

well for being investigated and has done a great job in covering his tracks, so I won't be able to find

anything for a while. It will take some time."

"Rat-a-tat."

Madison's voice came from outside, "Mrs. Hill, have you finished washing up?"

Avery hurriedly hung up the phone with Andrew and then put away her phone before opening the door.

"Yes."

"You must be hungry. The meal is ready. Change your clothes and come down to eat."

Madison was as warm as always. Avery's stomach ached slightly again, so she didn't refuse and went

downstairs.

"Mom, Mom!"

As soon as she came downstairs, she heard Ethan's voice. Ethan, who was playing with toys, wiggled

his butt and ran towards her.

All of Avery's unhappiness disappeared at this moment as she held Ethan in his arms. "Baby."

Ethan smiled at her with drool running down his mouth, looking very adorable. Avery thought of what

Jacob had said, and she was glad that she didn't act impulsively back then.

After adjusting his little jade lock, she carried him to the dining table.

During the week on the island, she had already gotten used to taking care of the child.

Madison smiled aside and said, "Look at how happy Mr. Ethan is. Those who don't know will think that

Mr. Ethan is your own child." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Madison was used to being casual and straightforward. After she finished speaking, she quickly

covered her mouth. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Hill. I didn't mean it."

"It's okay."

Both Avery and Ethan ate happily. After they finished eating, Avery suddenly realized something.

If Jacob had been called away by Layla before, how could she have the mood to eat anything? She

would have watched him leave with tears in her eyes, waiting for him all the while.

She would have waited until it was dark and her stomach hurt.

It seemed that she had slowly let go of her love for Jacob.

But she wasn't happy for long because John soon stood at the door, looking hesitant as he spoke,

"Mrs. Hill, I'm here to pick up Mr. Ethan."

Avery's smile froze on her face, and she gently let go of Ethan's hand.

Yes, Jacob wasn't hers, and the child wasn't hers, either.

John walked to her side and whispered, "Mrs. Hill, I'm sorry."

After speaking, he took the child away. Ethan's crying and shouting could be heard, and Avery wanted

to go forward and grab his hand.

But she thought about her identity. What was she to Ethan? What right did she have to keep him?

In the end, Avery could only let her hands fall weakly to her sides and watch as Ethan, crying with tears

and snot streaming down his face, left.

Madison finished washing the dishes and left the villa, leaving Avery alone in the spacious house.

There were guards at the entrance of the villa. She seemed to be given great freedom, but in reality,

she was imprisoned here.

Avery stood in front of the big floor-to-ceiling window and looked at her clear reflection inside. She

forced a wry smile, realizing that whether it was in the past or now, she had always been alone.

But this time, she no longer had anyone to wait for.

Back in her room, she sat with her knees hugged to her chest, and watched the sky get dark. A full

moon was hanging in the sky.

Avery thought of the people on the island. At this time, Carl and Randy should have already fallen

asleep.

It seemed that she should have a good talk with Jacob.

In the small hours, the bedroom door was pushed open by someone.
