His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1689

"I'll head upstairs and check on Layla." Chad wanted to help Elliot coax Layla.

His relationship with Layla was not too bad even though it was not as good as Layla's relationship with Mike. However, he felt that his words would have some level of persuasion in a situation where neither Avery, Hayden, or Mike was around.

Upstairs, Mrs. Cooper opened the door with the spare key.

The room was in such a mess that it looked as if a hurricane had just ravaged the place.

Layla was sitting on the bed with her hands hugging her knees. Her cries were no longer as loud as before but were still depressingly hoarse.

Mrs. Cooper could not blame her for what she did.

"Don't cry, Layla. Hayden told me before he left that he'd come and pick you up next time." Mrs. Cooper walked to the bed and used a tissue to wipe the tears from Layla's face. "Trust him, okay?"

"l don't trust him anymore. He said that I can go with them as long as I insisted on being with Mommy." Layla cried so much that she was out of breath. "But now, they just left! They don't love me at all."

Chad went upstairs and listened to Layla's protests.

He walked to the door of the room, saw the mess on the ground, and felt his heart become even heavier.

He entered the room and picked up the items on the ground one by one.

"I'll take care of that later," Mrs. Cooper said when she saw him coming in.

"It's okay. I have nothing to do anyway." Chad saw that Layla was looking at him so he smiled at her. "I know you're feeling really sad now, but you don't have to worry okay? Hayden is an amazing kid, and I just know he'll surpass your father in the future. When the time comes, he'll come to get you for sure."

"What am I going to do in the meantime?" Layla started to cry again when she thought about how she would have to spend so many days without her mother and brother.
