Hayden turned around and glanced at Elliot. Coincidentally, Elliot happened to be looking at them.
The father and son stared daggers at one another.
Hayden glared at him and looked away. " Layla, he won't eat anything we give him."
"Sigh... Hayden, why do you think he is here?" Layla hated Elliot from the bottom of her heart, but she could not stop herself from sneaking glances at him.
"I don't know. Are you done eating?"
Layla shook her head. "I'm waiting for Mom to bring the tomato sauce."
Just then, Avery stepped out of the house with a bottle of ketchup in her hand
Tammy went toward Avery and whispered, "Avery, you don't have laxatives in your house, do you?"
Avery shook her head. "Why?"
Tammy told her everything that had happened earlier. "I came so close to laughing myself to death. You should have seen the look on Elliot's face, hahaha! He wanted to explode but couldn't... Our Layla is so cute! After all, who would have the heart to be angry with her?"
Avery was speechless.
It was no wonder Layla had quickly polished off the sauce and asked her to get more. It was so she could get Avery out of the way.
Avery set the meat skewers before her two children and said, "I made these for you. Eat up, and go in once you are done." "Oh. Mom, come back inside with us," Layla said.
"Sure," Avery said.
After a while, the children had eaten their fill and dragged Avery back into the house with them. Once they were inside, they remained on the first floor, playing, instead of heading up. The others could see them.
After half an hour, Avery took them up for a bath.
Meanwhile, the drinking contest between Mike and Chad ended with Mike's defeat. He had failed to bring Chad down in the span of half an hour.
