Chapter 881
Chad nodded: “You know Mr. Foster’s temperament. He ain’t afraid of Avery finding out.”
A blissful day had gone by in the blink of an eye. At dusk, Elliot planned to treat everyone to dinner. Layla had enjoyed her time in the park for the day. She had a blast and at the same time, she was starving
That was why she had no objection to Elliot’s invitation to dinner.

At that moment, Mike’s phone beeped. Mike whipped out his phone from his pocket. When he saw the number, he made a ‘shush’ sign with his index finger. “It’s Avery. Everyone, be quiet.”
He answered the phone as soon as he saw their nods. “Hi, Avery. Were you trying to make a video call with Layla? We’re outside now! Once we get home, we’ll give you a call back, alright?
“I’m back in the state and I’m at home now.” Avery’s voice was slow and steady, never pushy. “Bring Layla back, will ya?”
Mike was stunned at the request. Before he had time to emanate his shock, Avery had hung up.
“F*ck me!” Mike’s face turned red and his heart was fluttering. “Avery is back! She’s at home! She ordered me to bring Layla back! She must have smelled something!” Chad’s heartbeat was picking up as well. “Hmm…maybe not. She sounded gentle.” Mike reassured himself, “Perhaps she doesn’t know anything… Let me send Layla back first. You guys go ahead for dinner.” Mike picked up Layla and headed toward the parking lot. Chad was worried, so he said to Elliot, “Sir, I’ll help you check oned Avery!” The three of them vanished before his eyes. Elliot turned on his phone. It was quite the collection of pictures he had taken of Laylale today. The light emanating from Layla’s smile in the photo had brightened the dark world he was living in.
