Mrs. Cooper reassured, “It’s only six o’clock in the morning on your mother’s side. Call her in another hour. Your mother is going out to work, and she will come back when her work is over.”
“If my mother don’t come back, what should I do with my brother?” Layla was suddenly frustrated.
At this moment, Robert suddenly burst into tears.
Mrs. Cooper quickly picked Robert up and checked why he was crying.
Outside the courtyard, a car stopped.
Layla saw it and went outside immediately. She saw Mike getting out of the car and striding forward.
“Uncle Mike!” Layla cried and ran over.
Mike frowned, walked a few steps to Layla, and picked her up: “Don’t cry baby. What’s the matter?”
“I miss Mom and Dad.” Layla stretched her hands and rubbed her eyes.
“Isn’t your father at home?” Mike came over last night and saw Elliot. But Mike couldn’t say much to him, so the two didn’t speak.
Layla grimaced, “He’s left. The phone can’t get through either. Grandma Cooper said it was my mother’s mistake, but I didn’t know it before. I ignored my father from yesterday to this morning. Will he be angry?”
Why is your father mad at you? Your mother and father quarreled this time, and it can’t be said that your mother made a mistake. Just wait a little longer, they will reconcile after a while.” Mike carried Layla into the villa.
“Really?” Layla wiped away her tears.
MIke: “Of course. When did I lie to you?”
Layla squeezed out a smile, then frowned: “My brother is stinking, take me out!”
Mike immediately carried her to the yard.
An hour later, Mike made a videocall to Avery. After a few seconds, Avery hung up the videocall.
Mike froze for a moment. How did she hang up?
