Back at Elliot's Mansion, Layla cried her eyes out the previous night until they becred and swollen. She seemed to be in rather low spirits too, so Avery decided to bring the two children out for sfun.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the amusement park, Layla? Why don't we go today?" Avery wanted to make her daughter happy.
Layla shook her head. "I don't feel like going there. Robert doesn't have to go too. It's not like he can enjoy himself anyway, since he’s so young." "Then where do you want to go? " Avery grabbed a sweat towel and put it on her back.

Or if there's anything you want to buy, | can bring you to buy it." Avery squatted beside her daughter and tried getting the little girl to caround. "Didn't you say you wanted new stickers last time?" "| already have them. My classmate gave them to me." "Then let's go buy slittle gifts that you could give to your classmates." "No need. Mommy," Layla snarled. "If you want to go out, | can go out with you. But if you don't, then we'll just stay at home." Avery stroked her daughter's head gently." Do you miss Daddy?" "Hmph! | don't miss him! | miss Harden." Layla said double-facedly. She would never admit that she missed her father.
Elliot had spent twith her over the past few weekends, and she had no tto get used to it when he disappeared from her life all of a sudden. At the stime, she could not help but feel like crying when she realized the possibility that her father might not be spending twith her in the future anymore.
However, she knew that her mother would be sad if she cried, so she had no choice but to hold it in.
"Well, if you don't feel like going out, then we can always stay at home." Avery then immediately suggested, "The weather is good today. We can play in the yard." "What are we going to play?" Layla asked.
"How about | buy ssaplings =a'=YNT= we can plant trees!" "Let's buy sflowers too and put them in the vase. Is that okay, Mommy?" Layla suddenly becinterested.
"Okay! Let's go buy them together!" Avery immediately relaxed when she saw that her daughter had finally gotten an interest in something.
Layla immediately nodded. "We can leave Robert at home, right? It's not like we'll be gone for long anyway." "Sure," Avery said before reaching to get her bag.
After a while, the bodyguard drove them out.

Mrs. Cooper was stunned when she saw him.
It was as if he cback specifically after Avery went out.
"Master Elliot, could you stay at ha little longer today?" Mrs. Cooper said," Layla cried her eyes out yesterday because you didn't chome. She's in a bad mood today too. Avery had to persuade her all morning before she could convince her to go out of the house." Elliot remained silent for a moment before asking, "Where's Robert?" "Robert's sleeping in the room. He got bitten by a mosquito when he slept in the living room yesterday,” Mrs. Cooper said." His forehead is red now." Elliot immediately walked toward the room.
Robert had woken up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he grabbed the blanket in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
He stopped biting the minute he saw Elliot coming in.
Elliot walked to the bed and felt incredibly distressed when he saw the mosquito bite on Robert's forehead.
