"If something is wrong with his brain, let him rot," Avery said.
"Okay! Mom, why are you locking yourself in your room? Why don't I get Dad to move out for now after he signs the agreement? This is his mistake, so you shouldn't suffer for it!" Layla wanted Avery to get some fresh air.
"Let's wait until your brothers and sister come home. He needs to explain himself to them," Avery said.
"I know, but Dad doesn’t say anything other than the baby isn't his." Layla recalled her conversation with Elliot and said, "By the way, I called Hayden, and he should be back soon."
Avery nodded. "I didn't really want something like this to be known, but since Elliot wants to act shamelessly, I shouldn't have to work to preserve his pride."
"Yeah. Even if we keep quiet about this, rumors will start to fly." Layla picked up the agreement. "I will go downstairs and get him to sign the agreement. If the baby turns out to be his, we need to make sure that he doesn't get anything."
At four in the afternoon, Robert hurried home.
Layla had sent him a message saying that something bad had happened, so he immediately rushed home after his classes ended.
Once he changed into his slippers, he glanced into the living room nervously.
Elliot and Layla were sitting on the couch with a strange look on their faces.
"Dad, Layla. I'm home." Robert walked over to them.
Layla tapped the spot next to her and said, "Come here."
"Okay..." He sat down next to Layla obediently. "Where's Mom? What happened?"
