Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Screech! 

Avery immediately slammed on the emergency brakes, stopping her car by the road.

An accident? Death? 

An explosion went off in her brain, then tears quickly fell! 

“Mommy, why did you suddenly stop the car?” Layla exclaimed.

Hayden got nervous too. “Mommy, why are you crying?” 

“Mommy, what happened to you? Don‘t cry!” Layla said and started to choke up. She started to cry too.

Avery heard her children‘s voices and suddenly drew a sharp breath. 

She wiped the tears off her face with both hands and said hoarsely, “I‘ll send you two home. Wait for me there. I have something I need to handle.” 

The car was once again on the road. 

Layla and Hayden were still quite worried. 

“Mommy, what happened? Why are you so sad?” 

Avery took a deep breath and lied, “Something... happened to Mommy‘s friend. When you go home, behave. I might be back late. If Uncle Mike is not home, I‘ll call him to come to take care of you two.” 

“Oh, Mommy! Don‘t cry! Your friend will get better!” Layla said caringly. 

“Mommy, don‘t cry,” Hayden comforted awkwardly. 

Avery responded hoarsely. 

The car arrived at Starry River Villa. Mike and Chad were having dinner at home. 

Avery opened the door, let the children in, and left without entering. 

When Mike came out of the dining hall, she had left with her car. 

“Layla! Where is your mother going? Why did she not even come in?” Mike asked in confusion.
