Chapter 1021

Chapter 1021
‘What kind of a father is Nathan? Is he even a man?! Who does he think he is?!’ She thought. Once Avery left, Nathan took a gulp of liquor gloomily, thinking, ‘Have I asked for too much? 360 million each year wasn’t much! It’s barely a few digits off Elliot’s annual income!’ Avery felt even more frustrated by the time she walked out of the restaurant. She had finally gotten the whole story and if she couldn’t satisfy Nathan, he would definitely go after Elliot again. ‘That old bast*rd, let him get his as* kicked by Elliot!’ She thought, ‘Though… Elliot must be really troubled right now.’ As she drove home, she put on her bluetooth earphone to call Elliot, dying to hear his voice. She unlocked her phone and was surprised to see a message from Mrs. Cooper. ‘Hayden and Layla got into a fight. It’s bad. Hurry home once you are free.’ She saw stars before her eyes as soon as she read the message. Avery set her phone down and took her earphones off, before racing back. In the living room of Starry River Villa, Layla held onto the box while squatting on the floor, sulking as she quietly wiped away her own tears.

Mrs. Cooper remained outside the door of the children’s room to talk to Hayden, but there was no response at all. Luckily for them, Robert was not crying or throwing a tantrum at the moment as he was nibbling at snacks and playing with his toys in the crib.
Shortly after, Avery hurried back. She hadn’t had time to change her shoes and stro de directly into the living room. When she saw how upset Layla was, she immediately took her daughter into her arms. “What’s wrong, Darling? Why did you fight with your brother?” Avery noticed the workbooks as she spoke, and said, “Was it because of these?” “Hayden didn’t like Dad’s gift and kicked at the box. I said that’s not right so he shouted for me to get out.” Layla lowered her eyes with tears still lingering on her long lashes. Avery could already picture how furious her son was from Layla’s gloomy tone. “Okay. I will go find Hayden now. Stay right here FVE5{sBU don’t cry anymore. Go eat first if you are hungry and I will catch up with you soon.” Avery put Layla down and strode towards the stairs. “Mom, Hayden locked the door from the inside,” Layla reminded her.
“Yeah. It’s okay. I will get him to open the door.” Mrs. Cooper heard the noises from upstairs and alerted Hayden through the door. “Hayden, your mom is home.”
