Chapter 911
"Uncle Eric, I wanted to call Aunt Tammy." Layla passed Avery’s phone to Eric.
"Call her for me." Eric smiled.
"I have Aunt Tammy’s contact, put your mother’s phone back."
"What if she doesn’t answer your call? She is the closest to Mommy.If we call her using Mommy’s phone, she will surely answer." Layla insisted.
She even unlocked Avery’s phone herself.
Eric gave in to her.He accepted Avery’s phone from Layla.
Before he opened her contacts, he noticed a red dot on her message icon.He wanted to open it to have a look, but reason told him that it was wrong to look at other people’s private messages without their permission.He found Tammy’s number in her contacts and dialed.He put the call in loudspeaker mode.
Soon, Tammy picked up.
"Aunt Tammy! It’s me!"
Layla’s tone was crisp and sweet.
"Mommy is asleep.I just wanted to know if you’re doing fine?"
When Tammy heard Layla’s concerns, her eyes reddened immediately.
"Layla, I didn’t love you for nothing."
"Hmm! I wanted to go with Mommy, but I didn’t want to see Uncle Jun! He has crossed the line.He made you sad.He is a bad person!"
On the other end of the line, Jun was almost in tears, "Layla, babe.I’m very sad to hear you say that.I have reconciled with your Aunt Tammy."
Layla was a little stunned.
Tammy chuckled.
"Layla, I’m all good with Uncle Jun.Although there are some places where he was wrong, I made mistakes too."
"Oh." Layla quickly adjusted her mood.
She smiled.
"Aunt Tammy, as long as you’re happy! If Uncle Jun bullies you again, tell me! I’ll call him and scold him!"
"Okay."
After the call, Layla looked at the phone.She tapped on the message icon.
