Chapter 1601
The next morning.
Layla got up at 7:00 a.m., washed and dressed, and went downstairs for breakfast.
At 7:30 a.m., Eric’s car stopped outside the courtyard gate.
“Eric, why are you here so early?” Avery just got up, and the sky was still not completely clear.
“I came over as soon as I finished work.” Eric has been busy these days.
Every Spring Festival, the announcement activities were quite full.
This year, Eric wanted to bring Layla along, but this year, Hayden returned to Aryadelle, Layla prefers to stay at home.
Avery tangled, “Did you not rest last night? Will it make you too noisy when Layla goes to your place today?”
Eric: “No, I often stay up late, I’m used to it. And I slept during the day yesterday. Now, I’m not sleepy at all.”
Eric handed her the gift, “Where’s Hayden?”
Layla glanced at Eric, and then looked at Avery with a guilty conscience: “Brother is not feeling well today.”
“Why is your brother unwell? Did he have a cold?” Avery said, and immediately walked towards the children’s room.
Layla didn’t follow, nor did Eric.
Eric whispered to Layla: “What happened to your brother?”
Layla whispered back: “My brother has important things to do today. So he can’t accompany me to your house. But my brother can go with me.”
Eric nodded and continued to ask: “Why does your mother smell like medicine?”
“Because my mother was injured in the head. She was accidentally beaten by my father.” Layla said the whole thing, “My father was also injured. So they both have to rub the medicine, and they both smell like medicine.”
Eric: “…”
“If my mother wasn’t injured, she would definitely come to your house with us to play.” Layla regretted, “It’s all my dad’s fault.”
When Layla said this, Elliot came downstairs and came over.
