Avery finished and headed upstairs. She had been out the entire day, she was exhausted.
Mike saw her go upstairs. He carried Layla and left. They arrived at an ATM. Mike carefully inserted the card.
The pin was written behind the card. It was Avery's birthday which was easy to remember.
After inserting the pin, Mike pressed the check balance button. Instantly, countless numbers of zeros appeared on the screen.
Mike was dazzled and speechless!
Layla exclaimed, "Uncle Mike! How much is that! There are so many zeros! I can't count! Woo!"
This was way beyond Layla's knowledge.
Mike coughed a little before raising his finger and counting the zeros on the screen.
Layla suddenly pointed at the first number on the screen. She said out loud, "This is one."
Mike said, "...Babe, you interrupted me! Where was I counting until? Sigh!"
"Stupid Uncle Mike! Just take a picture and go ask my Mommy! My Mommy would surely know how much it is with just one look! She doesn't need to count so long as you!" Layla pursed her lips in detest. "Or go and ask your boyfriend! He must be smarter than you!"
Mike blushed due to the provocation." Layla, I know how much this is. I don't need to count. It's one billion and fifty
million."
That was the amount Avery still owed Elliot.
Layla was a little lost. She blinked her huge sparkling eyes. "Uncle Mike, how much is that? How many toys and pretty clothes can I buy?"
