What Avery said made Mike's hand tremble a little. The phone in his hands fell to the floor with a clang.
"Ah... f*ck!" Mike immediately picked his phone up. It was not a surprise that he was killed off in his game.
Throwing his phone aside, he looked at Avery once more.
"Are you really planning to return to Aryadelle? Why did you suddenly have this idea? I want to know what you're thinking."
Mike was stunned because, for the past two years, her friends in Aryadelle had often been asking her to head back to Aryadelle, but not once had she ever wavered from her decision to not return.
However, at that moment, she suddenly wanted to return to Aryadelle. It was most likely not only because she had graduated.
"Every year, I could only see Layla during winter and summer breaks. Robert, on the other hand... I haven't seen him for almost three years. The video calls don't count,” Avery choked up a little. "If I return to Aryadelle, I would sure be able to see Robert."
"Oh, so you miss your kids! But once you return, Elliot might not let you see Robert. I think Elliot is deliberately not letting you see Robert, because he also has not seen Hayden for almost three years. He is not anxious about it, so you shouldn’t be too." Mike was afraid that Avery might lose to Elliot.
Avery had thought about this before.
"Elliot doesn’t have the right to not let me see my children. When we got a divorce, there wasn't this rule," Avery said and the microwave behind her beeped. The sandwich has been heated.
She opened the microwave and took the sandwich out before putting the milk in to reheat it.
"What you're saying is, you’re going back to Aryadelle to see Elliot and discuss visitation rights?" Mike found that baffling. "Are you sure you want to meet this annoying man? Aren't you afraid that he might make you mad?"
Avery took the sandwich and walked over to the living area.
"I never said I wanted to look for him." Avery sat down next to Mike. She took a bite of the sandwich. It was a little hot, so she could only place it aside to let it cool down a little. "Since he could let Layla come see me every winter >f,?PIP? summer break, I don't think he would not let me see Robert."
"Stop guessing what he is thinking. Have you forgotten how he has treated you in the past? Do you need some revision on that?" Mike teased.
