Half an hour later, Tammy and Jun arrived at Avery's mansion.
Avery welcomed them enthusiastically.
It was Avery's first time meeting Tiffany, so she had prepared an envelope filled with money for the child.
"She is still so little, what use would she have for the money?" Unable to refuse Avery's gift, Tammy accepted it with resignation. "My daughter looks dazed all the time, and she's either eating or sleeping through the day. She isn’t scared of strangers at this age so you can hold her!
Avery wanted to hold Tiffany but was concerned that she might accidentally drop her as her eyesight had not fully recovered, but when she saw Tiffany's adorable face, Avery could not contain herself any longer and accepted the baby from Tammy's hands.
"New-borns are all like this. As she grows, she will need less and less sleep." Avery sat down on the couch with Tiffany in her arms while playing with her chubby cheeks with a smile. "Tiffany, have you gone and played with Layla and Robert?"
"Both Robert and Layla have started school, so I only bring Tiffany over during weekends," Tammy said. "But Elliot would be at home during weekends, too, so I don't dare to stay too long. The atmosphere is just weird, you know?"
"You can get Mrs. Cooper to take Layla and Robert to your house instead."
"Layla has classes during weekends, and I'm not that close to Mrs. Cooper. I don't feel comfortable asking her to do that," Tammy complained. "It's just not the same without you around."
Avery’s eyes glittered awkwardly. At least Tammy could see Layla and Robert, whereas it had been months since Avery had seen her children.
"Avery, why are your eyes red?" Jun noticed the redness around Avery's eyes when he sat down across her.
Avery had just had the stitches removed from her eyes and her eyes were red from it. She decided to brush it off with an excuse and said, "Probably because I didn’t sleep well."
"Jun Hertz, isn't it obvious? How can Avery sleep well?" Tammy said. "Even if we were to neglect all the things that b*st*rd Elliot did, Avery has already suffered enough from him getting custody of Layla :e#?
