Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 870

Chapter 870

 Avery was just kidding around, but Mrs. Cooper’s expression turned slightly unnatural after she heard what she said. Mrs. Cooper froze for a moment, then forced a smile and said, “Maybe you’re not just missing Shea, but Master Elliot, too. Since your work here is done, can we go back to Aryadelle now?”

Avery did not feel like returning so soon.

There was not much to worry about after Hayden and Layla went back to school. Besides, she had spent too much energy on the surgery the past few days, so she was exhausted.

She wanted to take a break, then think about returning to Aryadelle. Otherwise, if she rushed back now, she would only end up cooped up resting at home.

“You can take a break first if you’re too tired. I’m not in a hurry to go back.” Mrs. Cooper was especially talented at reading faces. 

“I’m just beginning to miss Hayden and Layla, that’s all. My heart feels empty even when I don’t see them for just a day.” 

“I know. I miss them, too, but I’ve been too tired the past few days. Let’s head back after a couple of days of rest,” Avery said, coming to a compromise. She could not continue to delay her return just to avoid Elliot.

“Alright, Avery. I made some soup. Have some, then go to bed. You look like you’ve lost weight these days.” Mrs. Cooper placed Robert in his crib, then went to the kitchen to get Avery a bowl of soup.

Robert was a good baby. Even when he’s in his crib by himself, he did not cry.

Some children were so used to being held that they could not stand being put down.

 “Do you miss your brother and sister, sweetie?” Avery stood by the crib and cooed at Robert.

” I’ll take you home in a couple of days, okay? Have you eaten? Would you like Mommy to pick you up?”

She was exhausted at first, but after saying a few sentences to Robert, she could not help but hold him in her arms.

When Mrs. Cooper walked in with the bowl of soup and saw this, she chuckled and said, “You just can’t help but want to hold him every time you see him, right?” 

“Yes, he’s such a good baby. It feels like he understands us when we talk to him.” Avery carried Robert over to the couch and took a seat.
