Layla's impression of Elliot had changed completely. He was once the world's best father in her eyes but had since turned into the most heinous of devils.
"Robert will be fine with Mrs. Cooper taking care of him," Hayden comforted his sister. "Mommy will fight for his custody when the time comes, but I don't think Elliot will be so kind as to just let her have her way!"
The door opened moments later.
Layla and Hayden were stunned to see Robert standing at the door, and Layla even burst into tears when she had the thought of being separated from her little brother.
"Stinky little Robert! I don't want to be separated from you! You have no idea how much I wanna bring you with me!" Layla hugged Robert and was almost short of breath from all her crying.
Robert pouted and wanted to cry too when he felt Layla's warm hug and heard her sobs.
Mrs. Cooper was startled to see what was happening and immediately looked at Hayden. "What happened, Hayden?"
"My mommy is getting a divorce with Elliot, " Hayden explained. "But Layla and I will choose to go with my mommy."
Mrs. Cooper's face turned pale at once. "Did your mother say that when you went to see her tonight?"
"Yeah. She already made up her mind to get rid of that scumbag. Mrs. Cooper, if my mommy can't get custody of Robert, I will have to ask for your help to take good care of Robert,” Hayden pleaded.
Mrs. Cooper felt unbearably sad for a moment. She had a lot of things she wanted to say but could not bring herself to say them.
Hayden said that Avery had made up her mind, so it stood to reason that there was probably no further room for negotiation.
The blood at the scene matched the driver's DNA, =h*
