But Layla's heart had already flown back to Aryadelle.
"I wille and stay for a few more days next time. I chere behind everyone's backs this time, and, since I've gotten what I wanted, I should hurry back," Layla said gleefully, not feeling tired at all because she had received a satisfying answer from Nadia.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNadia informed Eric about her conversation with Layla as soon as Layla left, and Eric felt incredibly troubled by Layla's recklessness. He also wondered what she might do now that she knew the truth.
He stared at his phone and breathed heavily while thinking to himself, 'Layla hasn't reached out toyet. Is she planning to look foronce she gets back? She's in Bridgedale now, so there's no point ingetting all worked up over it. I guess I'll have to wait until she gets back.' By the tLayla arrived home, it was night. She felt exhausted from the total of twenty hours she had spent flying, so she looked horrible.
Avery immediately stopped Layla in her path when she saw how exhausted her daughter looked.
"Darling, what's going on? Why do you look so tired? Did you not sleep?" "Mom, I need to sleep now... I'll talk to you when I wake up," Layla said with a yawn before walking up the stairs.
Once Layla was on the second floor, Elliot and Robert walked over to Avery.
"Layla looks as though she's been up all night," Robert said. "I've never seen her so tired before." "What did she say?" Elliot asked.

Meanwhile, Layla fell asleep in her room instantly without changing her clothes. Shortly after she fell asleep, her phone's screen lit up.
Eric had sent her a text message asking if she had returned to Aryadelle, but Layla was in no position to reply to it.
After talking to the vice president, Avery spoke to Elliot. "The vice-president said that everything is fine, but Layla didn't show up to n work both yesterday and today He toldnot to tell Layla that he told me. QUMS Elliot scowled. "... Where has she been, then?" Avery turned to Robert. "Do you know anything?" Robert shook his head. "Ever since Ivy chome, Layla tells her everything and ignoresmost of the time." Avery immediately went upstairs to talk to Ivy.
Ivy wanted to see Layla as soon as she heard that Layla was back.
"She's asleep. I went inside her room just now, and she didn't even take off her socks. I don't think she's had any sleep these past two days." Avery sighed. "Did she tell you where Sho was going?" Ivy wanted to keep Layla's secret but did not wish to lie to her mother either.
Seeing how lyy was hesitating, Avery et smiled and said, "Looks like Robert was right about Layla telling you everything. Don't worry! Layla said that she will talk toafter she wakes up. I'm just asking you now because I'm worried." "Layla went to see Mr. Santos's girlfriend." After another moment of hesitation, Ivy decided to tell the truth. "Mom, don't be mad at her, okay? I don't want you to fight." Avery's smile remained, but behind her, Elliot's expression immediately darkened.
