Elliot knew that Layla had been secretly calling Avery. Layla did not contact Avery in front of him, so he could not directly interfere with it too. As long as Layla was by his side, he did not care about the other things.
However, at that moment, when he heard Robert loudly calling Mommy, his heart hammered wildly in his chest.
He stood up from his chair unable to control himself!
When Avery saw Robert on the call, she could no longer talk to Layla about her studies. She also noticed how Robert was a little distant, and she felt bad. She wanted to push herself through the screen to give them a hug, but that was delusional thinking.
She had only been apart from Robert for half a year and already Robert was a little distant. If she were to be apart from him for a longer period, would Robert treat her like Layla treated Elliot?
After talking for about twenty minutes or so, Robert became irritable. He started annoying Layla, so Avery hung up.
Coming out of her bedroom, she went to the kitchen, intending to cook a simple breakfast.
"Avery, I bought you breakfast." Mike's voice came from the living area. "Were you talking to Layla?"
"Why are you up so early?" Avery walked over to the living area. She said worriedly," You won't believe it if I told you. Layla was angry with Elliot, so she failed her exams." "This feels like something Layla would do." Mike picked up his coffee and took a sip." Don’t worry. Even if she usually has bad results, all she needs to excel at are her final exams."
"Hmm, when I see her during winter break, I'll have to talk to her. Her way of throwing a tantrum is too reckless."
