The baby had stopped crying and was behaving because someone was holding him.
The servant felt anxious as Elliot and Avery had always been a loving couple who had not had a fight in years.
"What if the results aren't ideal?" the servant thought.
She set the baby onto the bed and took out her phone, wondering whether she should call Layla in case Layla could help calm her parents down.
Half an hour later, Layla hurried home. However, it had nothing to do with the servant's phone call. The finance manager of her company had informed her that Avery was requesting a legal separation agreement where Elliot would be left with nothing.
Terrified, Layla immediately set all her work aside and hurried home.
"Dad, what's going on? Are you and Mom fighting?" Layla darted into the living room without even taking her shoes off.
Elliot sat on the couch alone in the living room.
The servant heard Layla's voice and ran outside. "Layla, why are you here?" The servant was still contemplating whether she should call Layla.
"Are my parents fighting? My mom informed the legal department of my company that she wants to be separated from Dad and leave him with nothing... What's going on? Why would they get divorced?" Layla was so confused.
The servant glanced at Elliot, who looked extremely depressed.
He was not in the mood to talk, as Avery had gone into their bedroom and locked the door behind her.
