Avery sat up in surprise.
“He only secretly went to look at the program department. He didn’t disturb Layla,” Mike added, “Chad told me that he most likely knew that Hayden and Layla are his children, but he did not dare to acknowledge them because the children don’t like him. Furthermore, you are not willing to let him reconcile with the children, so he has been bearing the pain of being away from them.”
“Also, he does not want Layla to go into the entertainment industry,” Mike continued , “So please come back quickly to divert his attention. If he were to make a scene at the program department one day, I won’t be able to control the situation.”
Avery’s head hurt, because of the time difference , she could not sleep well the night before. She truly did not want to take another flight at that moment.
“I can’t head back today.” Avery took a deep breath.
“My head hurts. I’m planning to stay home and rest today.”
“Oh, is that so! If you’re uncomfortable, you should rest well,” Mike said, “Why didn’t you text me when you landed yesterday? I realize that you rarely like to contact me anymore. Is something going on?”
Avery did not want to break Mike’s heart, so she said, “The phone’s radiation is not good, so I rarely use the phone anymore. If you have anything you could contact the bodyguard.”
Mike said, “Oh…I’m not an idiot. You just think because I’m close to Chad that’s why I have gone to Elliot’s side? You can’t think that way! Anything that happens to Elliot, I tell you immediately. If it were not for my sacrifice, do you think that Chad would tell me that Elliot went to secretly spy on Layla yesterday?”
Avery thought that Mike made sense.
“Next time, you don’t tell him news about me, but only gather news on him. How does that sound?”
Mike was speechless.
Avery said, “I’m really sleepy, I’m going to sleep for a little while longer. If there is nothing important, just send a text. I only slept for a while due to the jet lag!”
“How long is your jet lag? When I called your bodyguard yesterday, he said that you were sleeping at home. Have you been sleeping for a day and a night?”
