"Can't you keep that mouth of yours under control?" Avery said.

"Alright, Layla, stop crying. It's not that big a deal," said Avery, consoling her. "Your dad toldthat Ruby is carrying a testtube baby, and she is not carrying his baby. Let's trust Daddy on this, okay?" Layla buried her face into the crook of Mike's neck and said in a muffled voice, "I don't trust him! From now on, I'm trusting anyone but him!" "Darling, it's okay if you don't believe him, but don't let this get to you. You were happy even without a dad, right?" "That's because | had Hayden..." "Your brother will be back at the end of this year," Avery said. "He'll be back soon. Even if your older brother isn't around, you have Robert!" "Robert is so little!" Layla said in displeasure.
"But he loves you just as much as Hayden does! Didn't you see him crying with you?" "That's because | startled him!" said Layla with wide tear-filled eyes. She pushed her hair out of her face.
Avery studied the gloomy look on her daughter's face and could not help but chuckle.
"Don't laugh at me, Mom!" Layla flushed.
"Alright, I'm not laughing at you. | understand that you are upset, but | want you to stay strong. It will be best if we are reunited with your dad, but if we aren't reunited, life still goes on, right?" said Avery to Layla.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLayla nodded. "I'm not crying anymore, Mommy." "Such a good girl. When you burst out crying just now, the uncles and aunties from the party asked if you were okay. They all care about you, and we should focus on the people that care for us." Layla remained quiet for a few moments, before asking, "Mommy, if Daddy doesn't chome, will you go looking for him again? Mommy, | don't want you to leaveagain." Avery froze.
Noticing the awkwardness, Mike immediately interfered. "Layla, even if your mom goes looking for your dad, your brother and I will still be with you. Besides, your dad promised your mom that he would chome; he won't break his promise. You are better off focusing on your studies with that little head of yours." Layla's head instantly started hurting at the mention of studying.
Once they brought the children home, Avery said to Mike, "It's still early, why don't you go back to the hotel 2d >PKY< have sfun with the rest of them? | will stay honce | put the kids to sleep." "Fine. But you should still contact Elliot to see what's going on." Even if Mike had not reminded her of the call, she had planned on contacting Elliot.
Ruby had been far too arrogant when she had answered the call.
After Mike left, Avery gave her daughter a shower while Mrs. Cooper looked after Robert.
