Chapter 351 It was five in the evening at Starry River Kindergarten.
This was the bodyguard’s first day on the job. Once he picked up the children, he brought them home.
“Uncle Bodyguard, can Hayden and I play outside for a while?” Layla looked up at him. She was trying to see where the boundary lay.
The bodyguard replied clearly, “Sure! I’ll take you out to play after dinner.”
Layla replied, “Oh! What are we eating for dinner? Are we ordering in or are you making dinner for us? What time do you finish work?”
The bodyguard said, “I get off work when your mom or uncle Mike gets home. If you’d like, I can cook you a meal.”
Layla muttered, “Then, do we have to go to the supermarket to get groceries? If you make meals for us, does my mom have to pay you double? But, if your cooking is bad, then does she not pay you double?”
The bodyguard laughed. “Your mom pays me enough for me to cookten meals a day for you two!”
Then, the bodyguard brought the two children to the supermarket.
At seven in the evening, the bodyguard received a call from Mike. Mike asked about the kids before saying, “I might be home late tonight. The kids go to bed at nine. If Avery and I are not back by then, you can end work.”
Mike could not locate Avery! He had gone to look for her so that they might go home together, but she was not in her office.
He had tried calling her, but she did not pick up. After a while, he tried calling her again, but she had turned her phone off!
Mike was so furious he wanted to swear! Elliot must have taken her away because Mike could not get to him either!
Mike was driving to Elliot’s mansion. He had his bluetooth earpiece on. “How could they blame Zoe’s miscarriage on Avery? Avery isn’t that type of person!” he grumbled to Chad who was on the other side of the call.
