Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 852

Chapter 852

 “Don’t look at your phone for a few days, Avery.” Tammy could not help but remind her.

” Elliot bought over the news in Bridgedale. It’s disgusting.”

Avery did not respond. Her fever had subsided, but she was starving after not eating all day. Besides, her throat was dry and she could barely make a sound.

“Have something to eat first, Avery. I’m going to the airport to pick up Mike. He’s about to arrive soon, so I’ll head there now,” Tammy said, then left the house. Mrs. Cooper brought out a bowl of soup and placed it on the table in front of Avery.

After finishing the soup, Avery recovered some of her energy. 

“Layla, Hayden…. Why are you staring at me like that?” Avery forced a smile. “I just caught a cold. I’ll be fine soon.”

“Were you crying in secret, Mommy?” Layla pouted when she saw her mother’s reddened eyes. 

“Don’t be sad. You still have me, Hayden, and Robert. We would never leave you.” 

“I know that. Which is why my mood is better now that I’ve recovered.” Avery reached out and gently stroked Layla’s hair. 

At that moment, Hayden walked over and, without saying a word, quietly hugged Avery. As Avery held a child in each arm, it was as if she could feel her body being filled with energy. 

“I wanted to give all of you a complete family, but I realized that there’s no such thing. Our lives are complete as long as we’re happy. Don’t worry about me. I’m happy as long as you’re by my side.”

“I’ll be good from now on, Mommy. I’ll listen to you and Hayden.” Layla took a huge emotional blow this time. What happened had left her young spirit traumatized.

“I’ll take care of Layla, Mommy. Do whatever you want to do from now on and don’t worry about us,” Hayden said maturely. 

Avery was so moved that she took a deep breath and forced herself to hold back her tears. She would have no regrets in this life as long as she managed to raise her children well. Once Tammy picked up Mike from the airport, she gave him a once over and asked, “Are you wearing pajamas?” Mike opened the car door, got into the passenger seat, and fastened his seat belt. 

“I was in a rush.”

“You’re not wearing a jacket. Aren’t you cold?” Tammy turned up the heater in the car. 

“I’m about to lose my mind with anger thanks to Elliot Foster.” Mike was wearing at-shirt, a pair of casual trousers and a pair of house slippers.
