Reaching the second floor, Avery first entered the master bedroom and opened his wardrobe. In the
closet, there were basically no less clothes for him.
“Avery, Elliot didn’t come to pack.” Mrs. Cooper caught up and saw her standing in front of the closet,
so she said, “He used a black bag to pack not many things.”
“Yes, daily necessities could be bought at any time. He didn’t need to bring these.” Avery closed the
wardrobe door and walked towards his study room and asked, “Did he say anything?”
Mrs. Cooper: “Nothing.”
“Nothing?” Avery Didn’t dare to believe.
Mrs. Cooper said truthfully, “That’s not true. I told him that you waited for him until late last night, and
he asked me to take care of the child and don’t worry about other things. Avery, all I can do is take
good care of Robert. I can’t help you with other things.”
“Thank you very much for helping me take care of Robert. We will solve the matter between me and
Elliot.” Avery walked to the door of his study and wanted to open the door.
Mrs. Cooper said and walked away immediately, “Then I’ll go downstairs first.”
Avery pushed open the study door and entered the study. She turned on the room light, and the room
suddenly brightened like daylight.
On his desk, the clean and tidy notebook was there. The whole wall of bookshelves next to it did not
any change. Perhaps what Elliot took away was what was in his safe.
She walked to his desk and saw his safe.She hadn’t remembered the password to his safe. He had
written her a note with his safe code on it.
If Avery wanted to open his safe, just look for the note.
The note was supposed to be in the interlayer of her bag, but her feet seemed to be filled with lead and
she couldn’t move at all.
What if it was confirmed that he had taken the contents of the safe?
His heart was no longer in this home, and she can’t stop him when he wanted to leave.
She sat down in his chair and couldn’t help thinking, what would happen to them if she happened to be
home when Elliot came back at noon?
Will there be a heated argument, or will everything be said and then reconciled as in the past after
countless arguments?
How she wished it was the latter.
In the dining hall.
Layla was sullen.
Avery had no appetite.
“Layla, are you happy at school today?” Of course Avery knew why her daughter was unhappy, but
there was nothing she could do.
“Happy.” Layla said angrily, “Mom, is Dad working overtime again?”
“Well, he’s been busy lately.” Avery didn’t want her daughter to worry. If lying would make her daughter
feel at ease, she would do it.
“Did Dad tell you that?” Layla pressed.
“Yeah. Layla, your dad was resting at home because he was on marriage leave. He used to be so busy
at work. Actually, mom is also very busy with work, but with your Uncle Mike’s help, mom can go earlier
and come back.” Avery explained patiently.
“Okay!” Layla didn’t doubt what her mother said, so she replied, “If my father is so busy every day, I
would suspect that I don’t have a father. Tomorrow is the weekend. Does he have to work overtime
tomorrow?”
Avery put down the bowl Chopsticks as her heart was even more uncomfortable.
On weekdays, she could lie to the child that Elliot had to work overtime, but what about weekends?
How to cheat?
Avery changed the subject, “After dinner, Layla, let’s make a videocall with your brother. When you
have summer vacation, mom will take you and your brother to Bridgedale.”
“Oh.” Layla lowered her eyes. Suddenly, bean-sized teardrops rustled down.
Seeing her daughter like this, Avery suddenly became confused. She got up from the dining chair and
walked to her daughter: “Don’t cry baby. Mom and Dad just quarreled. It’s not as scary as you think.”
