"Sure." Avery hung up and felt extremely energetic.
There was only twenty percent of battery left for her phone, so she got out of bed to search for the charging cable. Once she charged her phone, she stepped out of her room.
It was quiet in the mansion and when she walked past Layla's room, she took a glance inside.
Layla heard footsteps and turned around immediately. When she saw that it was Avery, she immediately explained what happened earlier, "Mom, I made Robert cry because he keeps badgering me to play with him."
Avery walked into the room with a smile. "I know. I don't blame you for it."
"I know you won't," Layla said smugly. "Robert said that you and Dad were talking inside the room. What were you talking about?"
Avery pursed her lips in embarrassment for a few moments, before clearing her throat. "It's New Year's soon, so we were debating if we should all go to Bridgedale to see Hayden, or should we ask Hayden to come home. After all, Hayden doesn't have any holidays for New Year's."
"Oh... I see! But why did you have to close the door if that's what you are discussing? Robert came running to me because you closed the door."
Avery scratched her head. "We were kind of arguing because your dad wants us all to go to Bridgedale. I think that's too much of a hassle, mainly because Robert is too young and hasn't traveled that far before. I think Hayden should take leave and come home. Your dad said that Hayden has already taken leave to come home last time, and asking him to take leaves again might affect his studies..."
"Oh... What’s there to argue about?" Layla said in confusion. "Don't you think it's silly to argue about things like that? Why don't you just ask Hayden what he wants."
"Yeah, we plan on doing so."
