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
Tammy had already thought of a name for her child. She would be called Tiffany. The doctor picked up her child, wiped her clean, and then showed her to Tammy. When Tammy saw her daughter, she couldn't help shedding sad tears. Why was her daughter so ugly? How could her daughter be so ugly? She had made an appointment with Avery for the babies to get married when they grew up, but she was afraid the plan would not succeed. Robert was so handsome; how could he possibly like her ugly daughter? Tammy's anesthesia hadn't subsided when she came out of the operating room, so she didn't feel any pain. She complained to her mother with a sad face: "Mom, have you seen Tiffany? She is so ugly!" Her mother looked calm: "You were even uglier when you were born. I had a big fight with your dad at the time. I said he had the wrong child, and he said he didn't. We were almost divorced at the time." Tammy was speechless. "Don't worry, our little Tiffany can't be ugly
On the other end of the phone, Avery's breathing suddenly became heavy. Elliot heard Tammy's words and almost immediately noticed that she was talking to Avery on the phone. Without waiting for the others to react, he strode to the side of the hospital bed and grabbed Tammy's cell phone. "Avery, do you think it's funny to turn off your phone and prevent anyone from contacting you? What are you doing?!" He took the mobile phone and strode towards the balcony. Layla heard him calling her mother's name and ran after him. After Elliot entered the balcony, he closed the balcony door. Layla was kept out. Avery listened to Elliot's voice, and her chest suddenly heaved violently. "I didn't play any tricks." She calmed down, "If you really wanted to contact me, you could have contacted me, no matter what. Besides, we are divorced; there is no need for contact." Elliot snorted coldly. "You are right. In the future, you will be you, and I will be me. I can't give you La
"Ben, since she doesn't have time to fall in love with you, you should stay in Aryadelle!" Chad said, "I never believed in long-distance love." "Then you're going to end your and Mike's relationship by going to Bridgedale?" Chad responded, "I've already thought about it. It would be better if I could see Avery." "You want to help Elliot find Avery? Chad, there's no need." Ben said, "It's hard for outsiders like us to get involved in their relationship." "I don't want to intervene. There are some things I really want to say." "Okay, whatever." A day later, Chad's flight landed at the capital airport of Bridgedale. Mike was picking him up. Mike knew in advance that Chad was coming, so he called Eric and asked him to temporarily help take care of Avery for a few days. After Eric answered the call, he came as fast as possible. Of course, Avery didn't want to trouble Eric, but Eric refused to leave and was very stubborn. "I've been writing a new song recentl
"What's the matter?" Mike took two tissues and handed them to him, "Elliot knows about this." Chad took the tissue, wiped the corner of his mouth hastily, and said in shock, "Are you sure my boss knows about this? He never mentioned it!" "When Avery told him about this, Ruby had an accident, and he had to go to Ylore." Mike teased, "How would he tell anyone? If he did, no one would take his side." Chad felt that what Mike said was wrong. Elliot never asked other people to speak for his defense. Mike didn't look like he was lying, though. "Mike, are you sure what you said is true?" Chad still didn't believe it, so he wanted to confirm. "Avery told me that personally, so unless she lied to me, I guess it's pretty much true." "Oh… What was my boss doing?" Chad frowned and said naively, "I really don't understand what he was thinking at the time..." "It is obvious that your boss has no love for Avery but is only using her as a pawn." Mike took a sip of coffee, "H
"He didn't tell anyone about this, which shows that he knows it's his fault. If you ask him, he will only think that you are ignorant." "Indeed... I guess he didn't tell Ben. If he told Ben, Ben would definitely tell me. After all, I do have a better relationship with Ben." "Then you must think carefully before deciding whether to ask him." Mike glanced at the time and said, "Since you are here, let's have fun for a few more days!" "Don't you need to take care of Avery?" "I told Eric to come here. I told Avery that you were coming over, and she asked me to see you. Don't worry about her. She is feeling very vulnerable now. As capable as she was in the past, she feels inferior now. After all, she cannot see anything. She needs someone to help her to even go to the bathroom..." "Don't talk about it. I feel uncomfortable." Chad took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. Late at night, a nurse helped Avery take a bath, took care of her, and came out of the room after she f
