Only by obtaining this dark red box could he really threaten Elyette.
“Hayden?” Chelsea put down the towel and began to search for information related to Hayden in her mind. “This child is a computer genius! He can break through the firewall of the Sterling Group and make the company stop work for a few hours.”
Charlie nodded. “I bribed one of the gardeners in Elyette‘s house. He told me that the year Averie returned to the country, Elyette‘s house did lose something. At that time, the entire Foster family was searched thoroughly. I suspect that Elyette’s dark red box was lost at that time.”
“Oh… As long as we know who entered Elyette‘s house at that time, we can find the person who took the box.”
“Yes. But the gardener told me that Elyette doesn‘t have the habit of inviting guests at home. There are only a few people coming and going from his house,” said Donald Johnson.
“You asked me about Hayden just now. Don‘t tell me you suspect him?” Chelsea found it ridiculous. “Hayden is just a child. Although he knows how to hack, it doesn‘t mean that he‘s so sharp in other aspects.”
“Chelsea, the consequences of underestimating the enemy might kill you.” Charlie had already made up his mind. “I have to think of a way to meet this child.”
In Chelsea‘s opinion, although Hayden was young, he was smarter than ordinary adults.
And Averie‘s daughter was just an ordinary silly and sweet child.
So capturing Layla would be a little easier.
Charlie listened to her, lost in thought.
This was a risky move. If he wasn‘t completely confident, he wouldn‘t dare act rashly.
The next day, at seven in the morning, Averie came to the child‘s room.
The child was sleeping, but Mrs. Cooper was already up.
“Mrs. Cooper, thank you for your hard work last night. Go and rest now. I‘ll take care of the child during the day,” Averie said.
“Yes, he drank milk three times during the night. He has a good appetite and is quite energetic, “Mrs. Cooper said with a smile. “He‘s quite obedient. He cries when he‘s hungry and sleeps after eating.”
“Xiaohan was like this when she was young. Rila just caused a little trouble,” Averie added.
Mrs. Cooper was stunned for a moment. “Averie, Rila and Little Han are also Sir‘s children, right? Although none of you mentioned this, everyone said so in private.”
Averie said, “It‘s not that we don‘t want to talk about this, but he almost accidentally killed Little Han. If Little Han doesn‘t forgive him, I won‘t force the child to acknowledge him.”
Mrs. Cooper understood. “Sir was indeed an impulsive person in the past.”
“Everyone has impulses.” Averie sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Robert. “No one can do everything perfectly.”
“Yes. I‘ll go and rest first,” Mrs. Cooper reminded him. “You can put Robert in the living room so that you don‘t have to guard here all the time.”
“Okay.”
Averie carried Robert to the crib in the living room so that she could see Robert at any time and the nanny could help take care of her.
In a flash, it was ten o‘clock.
Kinness had driven over to visit her and the baby.
He brought many gifts, some for the child, some for her.
“Averie, it‘s winter vacation now, and you have to take care of Robert, so…” Jin Sinian discussed with Averie.
Averie knew what he was going to say.
She looked at Layla. “Layla, tell Mama what you think. Mama has to take care of her brother, but Mama can take care of you and your brother, too. If you‘re at home, Mama can play games with you or take you out.”
Robert was too young to even turn over. With Mrs. Cooper and the nanny taking care of him, she wasn’t worried.
Layla glanced up at Jinnian, her bright eyes shifting, and then she said to Averie, “Mom, I want Uncle Sinian to play with me. Because Uncle Sinian can teach me so much, I want to be like my brother and be a wonderful person.”
Jin Sinian quickly added, “As long as I‘m not very busy with work, I‘ll send her back every day.
“Will this affect your work?” Averie asked worriedly. “I can take care of the children myself.”
Eric said, “Layla won‘t affect me. Just think of it as signing her up for a winter break class. I‘ve hired a teacher to teach her vocal and dance, and if I have to take her on an announcement, I‘ll be sure to ask your permission.”
Averie nodded. “Thank you.”
“It‘s no trouble. And I’d be happy to if Little Frosty would join Layla,” Eric ventured.
Without thinking, Han shook his head and refused.
“Xiaohan has plans for the winter break in school. He won‘t be off until a week before the Spring Festival,” Averie replied. “Are you resting today? If you are, you can leave after dinner tonight!”
Eric inclined his head. “I see there‘s a lot of snow in the yard. Han, Rilla, let‘s have a snowball fight!”
Layla pouted. “You‘re an adult and I‘m a child. My brother and I together can‘t beat you. I‘ll get Uncle Mike to help!”
With that, Layla immediately ran to Mike‘s room and pulled him out.
Finally, Layla and Eric were paired with Han and Mike for a snowball fight.
This game was very childish, but because of the children‘s laughter, the gloomy and oppressive atmosphere was swept away. She hadn‘t relaxed like this in a long time.
Suddenly a cry brought her back to the present.
Robert was probably crying because of the noise outside.
Averie immediately picked him up from the cradle.
As soon as she picked him up, the little guy stopped crying.
“Robert, my brother and sister are playing with the snow outside. When you‘re a little older, can they take you with them?” She stood by the window with her son in her arms, looking out at the scenery.
Robert could not hug her vertically yet, so he stared at Averie‘s face with his big dark eyes, entranced.
“Baby, are you hungry? It seems like it‘s been two hours since you last drank milk… Mommy will make you some milk.” Averie carried him to the crib.
The nanny wanted to help, but she realized that Averie was very familiar with everything, be it coaxing the child or making milk. Outsiders could not interfere at all.
“Miss Averie, you‘re amazing. No matter what you do, you‘re very good at it,” the nanny praised.
Averie accepted the praise and asked, “When do you plan to go home for the new year? You could have just told me in advance.”
The nanny said, “I‘ll take a break on the 29th! Robert is so young. I‘m afraid you and Mrs. Cooper will be too busy. I can at least cook and clean for you.”
“Thank you for your trouble.”
“Not at all,” the nanny said when she saw that she couldn‘t help. “I‘ll get lunch ready.”
At the Foster residence.
Elyette did not go to the company today. He had a cold, but he did not go to the company because of it.
He knew that Ben and Chad had gone to Averie‘s house to celebrate Robert‘s discharge last night.
If he went to the company today, Ben and Chad would definitely not be able to resist telling him about Robert.
Even if they could resist saying it, he would naturally think of it.
He’d toyed with the idea of going over to see the baby last night, but in the end the pain had overcome reason.
He could not cross the hurdle in his heart.
He felt that he might be ill, not physically, but psychologically.
After breakfast, he took a cold pill and drifted off to sleep.
