“Sweetie, when Elliot Foster came over today, he said you hid in your room when you saw him, “Avery said worriedly. “This is your home. You don’t need to hide from him.”
“I wasn’t hiding,” Hayden said as his brows furrowed.
“I just don’t want to see him.”
“He’s planning on moving in to help with your little brother once he’s born.” Avery was in a dilemma and let out a sigh.
“Would that make things hard on you?”
Hayden’s brows furrowed even more tightly as he said, “I’ll just ignore him, then!”
“Thanks, sweetie.” Avery patted her son’s shoulder with a pained expression on her face.
“I don’t want him to move in either, but he thinks your little brother will need his care. The baby doesn’t belong to just me, so I couldn’t refuse him.”
Hayden took a deep breath, then promised, “Don’t worry, Mommy. I won’t acknowledge him! Layla also won’t! I won’t let our little brother acknowledge him either!”
Avery wascd stunned.
What was the initial reason for having a heart-to-heart with Hayden again?
It was to mitigate the relationship between father and son, and not to deepen the conflict between them!It seemed like Hayden misunderstood her meaning.It was fine. They can settle in once Elliot moves in!
