NovelEnglishWhen Layla heard what Avery said, she calmed down a little.
"Then, I'll still listen to Uncle Mike! He must be doing this for you," Layla muttered.
"Layla, did your Daddy really cry?" Avery could not believe it. She had always thought Elliot to be strong.
"It's true!" Layla replied loudly. "Mommy, why would | lie to you? | saw it myself."
"Oh..." Avery still found it hard to believe. " Layla, could your Daddy be crying about something else?"
"What?" Layla was stunned for a while. "I-l don’t know either, but there is nothing for him to cry about in our family! Robert has
been good today. He played for a while outside before going to bed. Only | made him angry." "Layla, don't be sad. Your Daddy will
know the truth one day," said Avery, consoling Layla. "It's late. Have you showered?"
"Not yet..."
"Then, go shower and go to bed. When you finish your homework, take Robert to see me. By then, if there is anything, | will tell you

"Mommy, if Daddy tries to pursue you once more, will you give him a chance?" Layla wanted to know if Elliot had a chance or not.
"I like Daddy. Robert likes Daddy too. If we were to stay with him any longer, we would surely miss him, and we won't be able to
abandon him."
Layla made her stance clear.
Avery understood Layla's change of feelings. Two years was not too long nor too short. Elliot could make the children like him,

"If your Daddy can find Ivy, perhaps | will reconsider my relationship with him," said, Avery giving Layla an answer.
"Oh." Layla sounded satisfied. "Mommy, I'm going to take a shower. Bye."
"Good night, babe."
After the call, Avery's heart was beating hard. Layla said that Elliot had cried. She furrowed her brows and unlocked her phone. She
found her chat with Elliot. She wanted to send him a message but did not know what to say.
Avery felt more embarrassed calling him if Elliot had cried because he had found out that she had gotten a boyfriend.
Her mind was a mess.
She lay in bed pulled the sheets over her head.
What should she do?
After Layla had left his study room, Elliot started to think.
Since he had promised Layla to win Avery back, at that moment, his biggest hurdle was Avery's boyfriend, Billy.

Only by understanding who he was could Elliot judge how big his chances of winning were.

After thinking for about half an hour, he made a call to his subordinates and gave them sinstructions.
In Bridgedale, it was ten in the morning.
Mike was in loungewear, having his breakfast by the dining table.
He had been living with Hayden, but their schedules were completely different.
Hayden still woke up early and went to bed early. Mike rarely got to talk to him during the day.
Halfway through breakfast, Mike saw a piece of sensational news.
The news amused him.
He immediately found Hayden's contact and called him. "Big H! Your dad did something huge!"
Hayden pondered for a while before understanding who he meant by his dad. Hayden always had a goal. The goal was to surpass
Elliot.
At that moment, he was getting closer to his goal, but he rarely paid any attention to Elliot. He seemed to not care about Elliot so
much anymore.
