Chapter 324
Mike and the children had their ears glued to the door of the master bedroom and were eavesdropping
Avery’s loud roar earlier lured them over.
Moments later, the door opened without warning.
Mike almost fell into Avery’s embrace.
Avery stared at them in bewilderment and said, “What are you guys doing?”
“Who were you fighting with, Mommy?” Layla asked as she lifted her head with innocent eyes filled with curiosity. “Was it Dirtbag Dad?”
“Your mother turns a little feral in front of him and her enemies,” Mike teased. “Otherwise, she’s a perfect lady.”
“Oh, so Dirtbag Dad’s Mommy’s enemy.”
Layla’s comprehensive skills were on point.
Avery felt a throbbing pain in her temples.
She walked out of her room and moved downstairs.
“There’s dinner for you in the kitchen, Avery!” Mike called out to her slender back.
“Okay.”
“I’ll help the kids wash up. Let’s talk after you eat,” Mike continued.
With one hand on the banister, Avery turned her head and asked in confusion, “What’s there to talk about? Why can’t you just say it now?”
“Have you forgotten what I told you in the afternoon?” Mike said in frustration. “Go and eat. I’ ll come to you later.”
Avery tried her best to recall their earlier conversation, but she did not have a clue.
Things have been chaotic in the past couple of days.
