Chapter 315 Was Elliot going to hold the things Avery said in a fit of rage against her for the rest of their lives?
After dinner, Avery dialed Mike’s number, then put her phone on speaker and began to clean the kitchen.
“I’ll be home late today, Avery!” Mike said in a stern and serious voice. “I’m not going to the bar tonight. It’s for work… It’s about the company! I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.”
“Okay. It’s nothing too serious, is it?” Avery said. “I’m not used to this sudden discipline in you.”
Mike chuckled and said, “I was just worried you think I’m out messing around. You don’t need to keep dinner for me.”
“Okay.”
After Avery hung up the phone, she glanced around the empty house and could not help but think of her mother.
She refused to hire a nanny because she wanted to do all of the things Laura used to do.
.
She wanted to guess what her mother was thinking about when she did those things.
The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt.
Laura always took care of her after Avery got pregnant.
After the children were born, Laura gave her all to help raise them.
She never lived a day of her life for herself.
Avery never thought that there was anything wrong with that kind of life.
It was not until Laura was gone that she realized she had put all of her energy in her work and the children.
“Mommy! Hayden’s picking on me!” Layla cried suddenly as she ran out of the room.
Avery quickly wiped the tears off her face and recovered her normal expression.
“How did he pick on you?”
“He said I wasn’t doing my homework right, then said he’d rip my books apart if I didn’t do it properly!” Layla whimpered.
Avery took her daughter’s hand, then walked her to the bedroom and checked Layla’s homework.
It was no wonder Hayden was frowning in rage.
Layla’s homework was a mess.
