Avery pushed the door open and instantly saw a heartwarming scene in front of her.
Elliot was carrying Robert, standing in the living area. Layla was holding her new toy, and talking to
Robert.
Mrs. Cooper was standing by the side looking at them, smiling. Avery stood by the entrance. Her feet felt
like lead. Elliot, who was holding Robert, looked tender and fatherly. If she told others that he was an
aloof and violent man, no one would believe her.
Elliot suddenly saw her. His smile instantly plastered onto his face. He never thought that she would
return so quickly. No one told her that she would return that day.
If Mike knew that she returned today, he would not have abandoned the children to go for a play. Mrs.
Cooper was stunned when she saw her. It was almost a reflex. She immediately took Robert from Elliot.
“Mommy!” A loud sound came from behind Avery. It was Hayden. The bodyguard parked the car, Hayden
immediately pushed the car door open and got out of the car. He ran toward Avery.
Avery collected her emotions and smiled gently at Hayden. “Babe, why are you back so late tonight?”
Hayden held Avery’s hand and replied, “There’s a question I didn’t understand, so I got the teacher to
explain it to me. Mommy, why did you come back so suddenly? Why are you not entering the house?”
Avery suppressed her awkward feelings. “I bought a flight ticket back immediately once I concluded
things there.” She paused for a while before saying, “Let’s go in!”
Avery and Hayden changed their shoes and entered the living area. When he saw what was happening
in the living area, Hayden’s handsome face instantly tensed up. What was Elliot doing here?
“Mommy! Hayden!” Layla was clutching the hem of her shirt. She had a guilty and worried expression. “I-
I was playing with Robert just now! I wasn’t playing with Daddy.” Avery saw it. Layla was indeed playing
withed Robert. “Layla, I’m not angry.” Avery walked over and patted her on the head. “Have you finished
your homework?”.
“Yes! I’ve done them!” Layla immediately ran to her room to take herie homework
Hayden, with his bag, quickly made his way past the living area. He was about to return to his room.
Elliot saw how his son avoided him. He was heartbroken.94 “Hayden!”
When Hayden heard Elliot calling after him, he merely slowed down his footsteps but continued going
upstairs. Elliot seemed to be provoked. His eyes instantly reddened. He strode over to18 Hayden. Avery
had a bad feeling when she saw what was happening. Sure enough. Elliot lost control. He grabbed
Hayden’s arm. “Hayden, I’m sorry. I am willing to do anything to make it up tod3 you.” Elliot did not want
to be like an enemy to his son. Even if Hayden ignored him or treated him as if did not exist, it was better
than hiding away every time he saw him. “Let me go!” Hayden looked at Elliot’s hand andeb screamed!
His scream reverberated throughout the entire villa. Robert yelped in fright and started crying. Avery
quickly walked over and grabbed Elliot’s hand. Her voice was shivering. It had hints of pleading in them.
“Elliot, let him go! You’re scaring the children!”
