"Layla's dizzy, Mommy. She'll be fine after she gets some rest," Hayden said. "You don't need to worry.”
"I see... That's good. Take care of your sister.
"I will."
After she hung up the phone, Avery did not return to the office.
She continued to drive towards the house.
She had basically concluded that the children were not at home.
If she had told Hayden that she was on the way home, the children would immediately make their way back to the house.
Now that she was quietly returning home,
she would call Hayden again if they were not there!
Avery thought that the children were using sickness as an excuse to do something secretive.
Layla was more innocent and did not have complex thoughts. Her flaw was that she was too obedient towards Hayden.
Considering Hayden's history of "bad behavior", Avery could not help but have an ominous feeling inside her heart.
She pulled up in front of the Starry River Villa, then rushed towards the front door.
She keyed in the security code on the door then pushed it opened.
Soon after, Hayden heard the noise and walked out.
As mother and son met eyes, a peculiar spark flickered in the air.
Avery felt slightly ashamed.
How could she suspect her children of doing bad things outside?!
They were at home, after all!
It seemed like Layla really was not feeling well.
"Hayden, I was worried about you two so I came home to check on you. How's your sister?" Avery asked gently then walked towards the children's room.
