His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1434

As soon as Mike asked the question, Layla started crying even harder.

"Can't you keep that mouth of yours under control?" Avery said.

Mike immediately kept quiet.

"Alright, Layla, stop crying. It's not that big a deal," said Avery, consoling her. "Your dad told me that Ruby is carrying a testtube baby, and she is not carrying his baby. Let's trust Daddy on this, okay?"

Layla buried her face into the crook of Mike's neck and said in a muffled voice, "I don't trust him! From now on, I'm trusting anyone but him!"

"Darling, it's okay if you don't believe him, but don't let this get to you. You were happy even without a dad, right?" "That's because I had Hayden..."

"Your brother will be back at the end of this year," Avery said. "He'll be back soon. Even if your older brother isn't around, you have Robert!"

"Robert is so little!" Layla said in displeasure.

"But he loves you just as much as Hayden does! Didn't you see him crying with you?"

"That's because I startled him!" said Layla with wide tear-filled eyes. She pushed her hair out of her face.

Avery studied the gloomy look on her daughter’s face and could not help but chuckle.

"Don't laugh at me, Mom!" Layla flushed.

"Alright, I'm not laughing at you. I understand that you are upset, but I want you to stay strong. It will be best if we are reunited with your dad, but if we aren't reunited, life still goes on, right?" said Avery to Layla.

Layla nodded. "I'm not crying anymore, Mommy."

"Such a good girl. When you burst out crying just now, the uncles and aunties from the party asked if you were okay. They all care about you, and we should focus on the people that care for us."

Layla remained quiet for a few moments, before asking, "Mommy, if Daddy doesn't come home, will you go looking for him again? Mommy, I don't want you to leave me again."

Avery froze.

"Don't go, Mom. Stay here with me." Layla pulled at her arm and said, "You can check on my homework in here while you wait for me."

"Okay. I will go get your homework."

Avery went to retrieve Layla's homework.

She opened one of the writing practice books.

The title given was 'My Dad'.

Layla had not asked for Avery's help, but with the tutor's help, she had managed to produce a rather lengthy essay.

'My dad is tall. He has big eyes and dimples when he smiles. He doesn't smile much when he is with others because he is a serious person when he is in public, but he likes to smile around me because he loves me very much...'

Avery finished reading Layla's essay. Her heart ached, and she thought back to how her daughter had burst out in tears earlier that night.
