The sun was rising. It was early morning.
Avery got up, walked to the bed, and opened the curtains.
The bright sun outside the window made her feel better.
She couldn’t help opening the window, and a biting chill came in.
The good mood brought by the extra sunshine disappeared instantly.
She closed the window, walked to the bed, picked up her phone, and checked the time.
Mrs. Cooper’s text message immediately came into view:–
——Avery, I wonder how you are doing lately? Layla says you’re fine, I hope it’s true. Layla had a fight
with Mr. foster today. Layla misses you so much that she deliberately gave a low score on the exam,
hoping to threaten Mr. Foster to get you back, or to get him to agree to let her go to you. As a result, they
broke down. Mr. Foster did not criticize her, but Layla cried very sadly. I know you have always valued
Layla’s studies, and I hope you can persuade Layla in private. Also don’t tell her, I’m telling you this.
After reading this long text message carefully, Avery felt as if her heart was burning with anxiety.
Her sanity has been thrown into the clouds, and now she just wants to go back to Aryadelle immediately,
meet her daughter, and have a good talk.
She was the last thing she wanted to see her child suffer so much from her failed marriage with Elliot.
She pressed the back button, opened the address book, found Elliot’s number, and dialed it without
hesitation.
——Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable.
Her heart sank suddenly and kept sinking.
A thought rose in her heart: Elliot blocked her.
She put down her phone and strode towards the bathroom. She turned on the faucet and washed her
face with water. She looked at her pale, bloodless face in the mirror, her breathing gradually steady. If
she can’t get through to Elliot, she can call Layla. Thinking of this, she took a towel to dry the water
droplets on her face, and strode out of the bathroom.
She picked up her phone from the bed, found Layla’s number, and dialed the video call.
After a while, Layla took the video call.
Avery saw her daughter’s face sullen and aggrieved, and her nose suddenly became sore.
Thinking of Mrs. Cooper’s reminder, Avery could only ask knowingly, “Layla, what’s the matter with you?
Mom doesn’t see you very happy.”
Layla: “Mom, I miss you.”
Avery: “Baby, mom misses you too.”
“Mom, Why can’t I go to you now?” Layla pursed her lips and said angrily, “If I go to you now, what can
he do to me?”
Outside the door, Robert refused to sleep, so he ran to his sister Play.
The little guy pushed open the door, got into Layla’s room, and shouted in a clear and clear voice,
“Sister!”
“Brother, look who this is?” Layla’s expression relaxed a little when she saw Robert coming.
She squatted down, picked up her brother, and turned the camera on her and Robert’s face.
Robert’s dark and bright eyes stared at Avery on the screen.
He knew it was his mother, but he was a little shy because he hadn’t been in contact with his mother for
too long.
He refused to call his mother, and he didn’t dare to look at Avery’s face.
“Brother, call her mom!” Layla turned her brother’s face toward the camera.
“…Mom.” Robert was shy and sounded like a mosquito.
“Brother, speak up!” Layla asked, frowning.
Robert’s brows were slightly wrinkled, his face flushed red, and he opened his throat: “—Mom!”
In the study on the second floor, Elliot clearly heard his son calling his mother.
