Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 547

“You haven’t eaten, have you? I’ll go make lunch,” Mrs. Scarlet said, then walked toward the kitchen.

Elliot glanced around the house. It was an open layout and the decor was minimalistic.

Layla thought he was looking for his room, so she ran toward the guest bedroom and showed him the way.

“You can sleep in here!”

Elliot responded, but a framed photo on the shelf drew his attention.

It was a family photo of Laura and Avery with them each holding a baby in their arms.

He walked over to the shelf, picked up the photo and examined it carefully.

At the bottom right corner were the words “We’re a year old!”.

This meant that the children in the photo were a year old when it was taken.

One of the babies was dressed in a smart suit, while the other was wearing a white, puffy dress and a tiara on her head… It was obvious that the babies were a boy and a girl.

So, were they Hayden and Layla?

“Come on in!” Layla stood at the door of the guest bedroom and called out to Elliot, “Come see the bed I made forza you!”

Elliot immediately put the photo down and walked over to Layla.

The guest bedroom was on the first floor. It faced south and had a large floor to ceiling window where one could see the view outside in the day.

It was only then that he noticed that it had turned gloomy outside.

“Look at this pink bunny pillow. Do you like it? Mommy bought it for me. There were two of them, but Hayden didn’t like it, so I’m letting you use it!” Layla held a pillow shaped like a bunny and showed it off to Elliot.

Elliot felt her thoughtfulness, then smiled and said, “Thank you, Layla.”

Layla’s cheeks flushed. She wondered why she did not naturally resist when Elliot picked her up earlier. She actually enjoyed being carried at that height.
