Elliot knew that Layla had been secretly calling Avery. Layla did not contact Avery in front of him, so he could not directly interfere
with it too. As long as Layla was by his side, he did not care about the other things.
However, at that moment, when he heard Robert loudly calling Mommy, his heart hammered wildly in his chest.
He stood up from his chair unable to control himself!
When Avery saw Robert on the call, she could no longer talk to Layla about her studies. She also noticed how Robert was a little
distant, and she felt bad. She wanted to push herself through the screen to give them a hug, but that was delusional thinking.
She had only been apart from Robert for half a year and already Robert was a little distant. If she were to be apart from him for a
longer period, would Robert treat her like Layla treated Elliot?

After talking for about twenty minutes or so, Robert becirritable. He started annoying Layla, so Avery hung up.
Coming out of her bedroom, she went to the kitchen, intending to cook a simple breakfast.
"Avery, | bought you breakfast." Mike's voice cfrom the living area. "Were you talking to Layla?"
"Why are you up so early?" Avery walked over to the living area. She said worriedly," You won't believe it if | told you. Layla was
angry with Elliot, so she failed her exams." "This feels like something Layla would do." Mike picked up his coffee and took a sip."
Don’t worry. Even if she usually has bad results, all she needs to excel at are her final exams."
"Hmm, when | see her during winter break, I'll have to talk to her. Her way of throwing a tantrum is too reckless."
Mike finished his coffee. He asked, "Do you know why I'm up so early today?"
"Did you have a nightmare? Or is Chad coming to see you?"
"Hehehe. Chad is not coming, Ben is coming." At seven-thirty that morning, Ben called him to ask him out to meet.
At that time, he was still groggy, so he had thought that Chad was coming over too. However, after conversing with Ben in detail,
he realized that things were not as he thought them to be.
"Is Ben here to look for Lilith? Why did he call you?" Avery started to think further.

"He said that he wants to visit our office. I'm guessing it's not about personal affairs. " Mike looked at the time. "I'm meeting him at
ten. | should leave now."
Avery was stunned. She said, "Mike, you should know what to say or what not to say, right?"
"Of course. I'm on the sboat with you while he =b%=RKW= Elliot are on the other side," Mike said and pointed at the kitchen.
"I bought sgroceries and placed them in the fridge. Order take out if you want, if not, you can make something to eat too."
"Okay." After Mike left, Avery looked at the breakfast on the coffee table. It was a sandwich and sroom-temperature milk.
She and Mike were not picky about food. They could eat the sfood for the rest of their lives.
When Mike arrived at Alpha Technologies, he saw Ben standing in the lobby, talking to someone on the phone.
