Avery got up from bed, she looked at the series of numbers for a few seconds before answering the
call
She never thought that once the call got through, a video appeared.
“Mommy!” Hayden’s crisp voice came through.
Avery looked at Hayden’s face and said excitedly, “Hayden! How did you call me on video?”
“I hacked into the camp’s internet and called using a virtual account.” Hayden had a rare smile.
“Mommy, is Layla back already?”
“She is, but she just went out with Uncle Mike. They are not back yet.” Avery’s face was filled with
tenderness, “Hayden, are you adapting well there? Your teacher just called me a few days ago and
said that you made a few international friends.”
“Mommy, I’m grown up. You don’t have to worry about me.” Hayden’s voice sounded like a little man
“How could I not worry about you? Even if you’ve grown up in the future, I’ll still miss you and worry
about you.” Avery looked at her son’s face. No matter how much she looked it was not enough for her.
“There are ten more days before I can go and see you!”
“Mommy, I’ll give you a video call every night, how about that?”
“Is that against the rules?” Avery asked worriedly. “What if your teacher finds out. Will it be bad?”
“It’s fine. The teacher knows I’m calling you. I called you on video with my own abilities. He said
nothing,” Hayden said proudly.
Avery was extremely proud. At the same time, she thought of something.
“Hayden, later can you give Uncle Mike a call. Please persuade Layla to stop thinking of earning
money in the entertainment industry anymore. I’m not short of money. I can pay back the money I owe
Elliot on my own. I don’t need you to worry. Right now, the most important thing you two need to do is
learn and happily grow up.”
Hayden said, “I’ll talk to her later.”
Avery replied, “Hmm. I’ll talk to her too, but I think she’ll listen to you more.”
“Okay. I’ll call Uncle Mike now.” Even if Avery did not tell him, Hayden would still call Mike because he
saw how puffy and reddened Avery’s eyes have been from crying. If he were to ask her why she was
crying in the video call, Avery would not tell him the truth.
Hayden called Mike and Mike soon picked up the call.
“Why did Mommy cry?” Hayden furrowed his brows with a serious expression.
“I just video –called her.”
“Uh…” Mike tried hard to come up with something. He hesitated whether to tell him the truth or not.
“Hayden! Hayden!” Layla saw Hayden and exclaimed excitedly.
“When are you coming back to play with me! I miss you so much! Woo, woo! I miss you to death!”
“Layla, please don’t interrupt.” Hayden doused Layla’s enthusiasm. Layla obediently quieted down.
Mike said, “There is a woman who made up her face to look like your Mommy and tried to seduce
Elliot. Yesterday, she managed to get him to stay for dinner. Elliot already said that he would look for
your Mommy in the afternoon , but he didn’t appear. They fought because of that.”
“That dirtbag finally shows his true colors,” Hayden said sinisterly.
“Actually, Elliot is still fine! It’s that woman who is the worst. She actually made her face up to look like
Avery…”
“What is that woman’s name? I’ll teach her a lesson!” Hayden said.
Mike thought for a while.
“I think she’s called N… Nora! I don’t know her full name, but you can search around. She is Chelsea
Tierney’s cousin.”
“Got it.” Hayden consciously took note of Nora’s name before changing the subject.
“Layla, don’t go shooting entertainment programs in the future. Mommy is worried.”
Layla furrowed her brows and huffed, “I’ve already agreed to Uncle Eric that we’ll go shoot more two
days later! Hayden, I’ll talk with Mommy!”
Hayden also furrowed his brows. “Why are you getting more and more disobedient?”
Layla used to listen to him no matter what.
“I’m so adorable, of course, I should be a star!” Layla said narcissistically, “Uncle Eric said that he
would take me along in the future. He said he would make me an even bigger star than him! Hayden,
next time the money I earn, I’ll split half with you, okay?”
