NovelEnglishMike was so shocked that he thought his soul was about to leave his body! "What the hell are you doing with my phone?!" he snapped furiously, then snatched his phone back.
On the other end of the line, Avery was stunned.
Who snatched Mike's phone away? Who would dare do such a thing? Elliot's face automatically appeared in her mind.
"Put it on speaker!" Elliot demanded through bloodshot eyes.
Robert had a fever. He needed to know how he was doing.
When Avery heard Elliot's voice, she drew a sharp breath.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat were Elliot and Mike doing together? It should be past seven in the morning in Aryadelle. What was Elliot doing at her house? "Why should | do what you say? You're not the boss of me!" Mike could not hold back his bad temper.
Elliot's expression instantly turned dark as his cold eyes emanated a murderous aura Mike, however, was not afraid of him.
Layla stood next to Mike and watched as the two men argued. She thought they were about to start a fight, and she burst into tears.
"I'm gonna be late for school!" she sobbed.
Layla was not the type of little girl who cried for no reason.
The moment she began to cry, Mike and Elliot instantly let down their guards and looked at her helplessly.
"Don't cry, sweetie! I'l take you to school right away! | promise you won't be late!" Mike picked Layla up with one arm and hurried over to the garage.
Elliot wanted to run after his father and make her feel better, but he figured that doing that would only make Layla cry even more.
He walked dejectedly out of the front yard.
Once he got in the car, the driver got into the driver's seat and asked, "Where to, Sir?" Elliot's eyes were turned toward the window as if he did not hear the driver's voice.
The driver knew that he did not want to leave Layla, so he did not say another word.
Mike put his phone on speaker and placed it in the car.
He settled Layla into the child's car seat, then quickly got into the driver's seat and drove the car out onto the street.
"How's Robert going right now? Why did he suddenly get a fever?" he asked while he drove.

Robert probably wasn't used to the change in temperature.” Avery held her phone >g"< PIV> walked a few steps away. "His fever has subsided now, but | probably have to delay my return to Aryadelle.” She had originally booked tickets to return home the next day, but she returned the tickets when Robert suddenly got a fever.
She had to wait until Robert was completely recovered.
She had called Mike to tell him that she would delay her trip home.
Mike was relieved. "He should be fine now that his fever subsided, right? He won't go back to how he was when he was first born, right?" "He won't. He's doing better now that the fever's gone. He's sleeping right now." Avery had taken Robert to the hospital for treatment. Once his fever subsided, the doctor allowed her to take him home to rest.
Children's fevers come back easily, so Avery could not say for certain whether or not Robert's would return later on.
She was sure, however, that this was merely a cold, and not another disease.
"That's good. You scared me for a moment there. | thought it was like before..." Mike let out a heavy sigh. "That b*st*rd, Elliot Foster, snatched my phone away just now. My soul almost left my body. | thought | ran into a ghost in broad daylight!" "What was he doing there?" Avery asked.
"He used the excuse the he was sending over Mrs. Cooper's things, but actually wanted to see the kids. He could send the luggage at any time. Why did he have to come over first thing in the morning? Besides, the driver could've been the one to send the luggage over alone. Why did he have to show up personally?" Mike poured out his thoughts, then noticed the rearview mirror from the corner of his eye and said," Huh? He's tailing me." Avery's brows furrowed.
She was not in Aryadelle right now, so she could not stop Elliot from doing anything.
