Chapter 1697
Layla took his cell phone, turned it on, and saw their exchange."Layla, your mother just refuses to talk to me now, even if I wanted to tell her about you."When Elliot said these words, Layla dialed Avery's number.Unsurprisingly, a system prompt sounded. "Mom doesn't answer your call, but she will definitely answer mine!" Layla returned his mobile phone to him, then found her own and dialed Avery.The same system prompt sounded.Layla burst into tears.Elliot took her into his arms: "Layla, don't cry. Dad will take good care of you and your brother. Dad will work harder to be a good dad."Layla instinctively wanted to push him away, but she knew clearly that she had no one to rely on except her father.So she didn't push him away.The summer vacation had not yet started, but she returned to school after a day off at home to take her mind off the matter.As for Robert, the departure of Avery and Hayden did not have much impact on his life.He was happy as long as someone

Wesley looked at his face, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "She asked me to take care of Shea.""Did she say anything else? Did she say anything about me?""No." Wesley's answer took all hope away from Elliot. After Elliot left, Shea looked at Wesley."You're not treating my brother very well." Shea told him her feelings.Wesley was usually very polite towards everyone, but he was rather cold towards Elliot.Wesley didn't deny. "It's his own fault. If he hadn't hurt the relationship between him and Avery, Avery would not have divorced with him. His relationship with Holly was a disaster, and now he wants to make amends with Avery. It's just too late."Shea said, "My brother made a mistake, and Avery would be right to put the blame on him. I don't think you're allowed to talk to him like that though. He is the person who treats me the best… He's one of them, at least."Wesley relented. "All right, I'll be more careful with my temper the next time."In Bridgedale, Avery

She was volunteering to give up 30% of the shares of Tate Industries.Mike was also volunteering to give up 15% of the shares of Tate Industries.Elliot was given permission to do anything to the shares as he pleased.Elliot signed the document immediately."Aren't you going to call her to check the authenticity of the document?" Sean didn't expect Elliot to sign the document that quickly."She's not picking up my calls." Eliot put down his pen. "Was there anything else she wanted you to tell me?"Sean shook his head. "Nothing else.""Did she tell you via a telephone call, or was it Mike who told you?" Elliot looked at Sean. "Ever since I got divorced from her, I have never managed to call her.""She called me," Sean said awkwardly."Apparently she just doesn't want to talk to me. That's understandable. There's no reason to remain in contact since we are already divorced." Elliot laughed. "She's not just quitting from the company, she's also giving up on her kids."Sean was s

Why was Mike staying at the hospital?Was someone ill?Chad took a screenshot of his phone and sent it to Mike with a series of question marks.About half an hour later, Mike turned off his GPS and called Chad."I was sleeping just now! The do not disturb settings were on." Mike said and yawned."You're at the hospital, aren't you? Is there someone ill? You're not sick, are you?" Chad asked, "Is Avery sick?"Mike sneered, "Didn't Eliot tell you anything?""What do you mean? What would my boss tell me?" Chad was dumbfounded."Well, I suppose he doesn't want anyone knowing these shameful deeds of his." Mike snorted. "Does it even matter if Avery falls sick? Or if I fall sick? Is he going to visit us? Are you going to visit us? No! None of you are going to do that! So why ask?"Chad was speechless."Avery has already given up everything in Aryadelle, just leave us alone!" Mike said, "It's already late, I'm going to sleep.""Okay… Go to sleep then! But could you turn on your GPS

She was really angry.She was just a child though, so she didn't stay angry for very long, and she accepted the call."Why are you video calling me?" Layla asked Hayden angrily. "I thought you were trying to ignore me! Why don't you just ignore me for the rest of your life?"Hayden tried to explain to Layla, "I just transferred here, and I'm rather busy. And mom…""What about mom? She doesn't want me, does she? She doesn't accept my phone calls either! I'm so angry at the both of you!" Layla was making quite a commotion, which was heard by Elliot.Elliot was taking Layla and Robert out shopping today.Before the summer holidays, Layla's school organized a party.Elliot had brought Layla out to buy some new clothes and gifts for her friends.Hayden swallowed his words when he saw Elliot appear in the video call."That's not true. I did tell you that I would call you when I had some free time." Hayden didn't want to explain any further. "Go shopping with your dad."Hayden hung

Hayden saw the expression on Avery's face change ever so slightly and heard a tiny sigh escape from her lips.Tears welled up in Hayden's eyes.He felt the need to protect his mom. His once strong and protective mother now needed his help.In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.In Aryadelle, summer vacation was here. Tammy wanted Jun to take Layla and Robert to come to play at their house.If she weren't pregnant, Tammy would have invited the two kids herself.Elliot wanted to go to Tammy's house with the two kids but was rejected by Tammy.Jun took both of the kids, and asked Layla, "Why don't you want to bring your father?"Layla said, "I don't want him following me. I am not a child anymore.""Layla, you should be grateful. When I was small, if my dad could accompany me, I would have been very happy.""I could give you my dad." Layla offered, "I really hope that he goes to work every day, and does not ask me about my homework. He's very annoying when he asks me if I a

"Tammy, I heard that it was Avery who turned off her phone so Elliot couldn't contact her. It wasn't Elliot's fault." Jun corrected her."How did you know that they didn't have an agreement of the sort when they divorced? If there wasn't such an agreement, how could Avery not contact her kids? Don't believe everything Elliot says. I hate it when men victimize themselves and put the blame on women. It's entirely Elliot's fault, so don't make it sound like it's Avery who's the cold-blooded one."Tammy lost control of her emotions when she talked about Elliot and Avery."Tammy, don't get emotional. I don't want to quarrel with you. I just think that you don't need to speak ill of Elliot in front of Layla. She isn't very fond of Elliot.""He brought everything on himself. Why are you speaking in his defense? Do you actually think that he's innocent? Are you trying to become like him and wish to have an affair with other women?""Tammy!"Jun exclaimed. "What were you thinking? I just fe

"Your mother doesn't seem to be using her cell phone now. I'll call your Uncle Mike and he will tell your mother." Wesley picked up the cell phone and spoke to the two children.Disappointment flashed in Layla's eyes.Wesley dialed Mike's number and told him about Tammy's childbirth."Oh, I'll tell her tomorrow. She's probably asleep by now," Mike said."Well. Layla and Robert are by my side. Do you want to talk to Layla?""Yes. Let's video call her!" Mike said and hung up the phone.Within five seconds, Mike called.Wesley picked up the video call and handed the phone to Layla.Layla looked at Mike's smiling face in the video and pouted."Where's my mom?" Layla asked, frowning."Your mother is sleeping.""I don't believe you! My mother must be missing! Otherwise, why would she not contact me? Go to my mother's room; I want to see if my mother is really sleeping." Layla made this request to Mike.Mike hesitated for two seconds, then took the mobile phone and walked towards
