Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 942

 “Elliot,” she called out his name. 

“Just eat, will you!”

He unconsciously curled his lips into a beautiful smile.

Satisfied, he turned around and followed her into the living room.

When Mrs. Cooper saw the two of them coming in, she immediately smiled and said, ” Dinner’s ready. I’ll check and see if Layla has finished her homework.”

Layla had just started elementary school. She had homework every day, and lots of it too.

Avery decided to hire a tutor just to supervise Layla’s daily homework.

Layla was not particularly enthusiastic about learning, and it would be quite difficult for her to keep up if she was not given the necessary push.

Fortunately, Layla was quite obedient and basically worked hard to complete the special exercises Avery gave her. Elliot walked to the crib and hesitated for a few seconds before picking Robert up. Avery chided him, “Didn’t you say you had no energy to step out of my courtyard because you’re too hungry?”. 

Elliot took it all in stride and was fine with whatever she said as long as she did not stop him from holding the baby.

“My son is so adorable that I can feel my energy coming back whenever I see him.”

“Oh, since that’s the case, you might as well skip your meals and just replenish your energy by carrying the baby every day! It’d save Mrs. Scarlet the trouble of cooking your daily meals,” Avery continued mocking him.

Elliot hugged Robert and played with the boy while responding to her, “I don’t mind starving to death, but I’m worried that a certain someone can’t bear to see me like that.”

Avery’s cheeks turned red and she retorted. 

“Who says I can’t bear that sight? Don’t think so highly of yourself.”

After saying that, she went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Elliot carried Robert up and stared into the child’s eyes. The boy’s eyes were shining faintly, like a pair of black gems that were particularly dark and glowing

Elliot felt completely drawn to that little life.
