“Isn’t it scary enough to take my brother and me to find my brother without taking my father?” Layla looked sad, “Are you two going to divorce?”
“No. I haven’t gotten the certificate with your dad yet. If we separate, it’s just a breakup, not a divorce.” Avery took a tissue to wiped her daughter’s tears and said.
“Oh…isn’t that the same thing? Woohoo!” Layla listened to her Explanation and the tears flowed more fiercely.
Avery said softly, “Layla, don’t cry yet. Listen to your mother. No matter what your mother and father are, we will always love you as well as your brothers and sisters. Your mother will always be with you.”
“I don’t like the two of you arguing. But you two always quarrel.” Layla’s eyes filled with tears of grievance, and roared.
Avery didn’t know how to answer, so she fell silent.
After about a minute or two, Layla looked at Mom’s face and suddenly softened: “I’m sorry Mom. I shouldn’t be talking to you so loudly.”
“It’s okay. Mom and Dad aren’t good enough.”
“Mom, you have to stay with me, Robert and my brother, Hayden.” Layla hugged her mother and choked out the request.
In the evening, after coaxing the child to sleep, Avery dragged her tired body out of the child’s room. She strode towards the master bedroom, and after entering the room, she closed the door.
It can’t go on like this. Even if Shea and Adrian were not considered, Elliot’s leaving like this would have a great impact on the children.
She found Chad’s phone and dialed it.
“Chad, where is Elliot now? I want to see him.” Avery said calmly.
Chad said helplessly, “Avery, I’m sorry. I went to look for him today, but I couldn’t find him. I also asked Brother Ben, and Brother Ben didn’t know where Elliot was.”
Avery: “Elliot didn’t contact you and didn’t care about the company?”
Chad frowned, “No. He’s never been like this before.”
