Layla and Hayden ran deeper into the snow palace.
“Mommy, let me and Hayden play here for a while! If they can‘t catch us, we can play here for a while… ouch!” Layla was running so quickly that she had accidentally bumped into a large figure!
Elyette lowered his gaze and saw Layla’s face scrunched up in pain.
His heart skipped a beat!
Layla could not have come alone! Did that mean… Averie was here as well? He looked behind Layla and only saw Hayden quickly running over and pulling Layla into his arms. He looked at her clutching her face. He immediately took her hand away and checked if she was injured.
“Hayden, I’m fine. I bumped into someone, and my nose hurts a little.” Layla‘s eyes were red. She looked pitiful.
Hayden held her hand tightly and looked up to face Elyette‘s cold face. An inexplicable hostility sprang up between father and son.
At that moment, Shea saw Hayden and Layla. She was delighted and surprised!
“Hayden! Layla!” Shea quickly walked toward them. Hayden noticed and immediately pulled Layla to him. He turned and left.
Layla kept looking back, reluctant to leave the beautiful ice kingdom. When her gaze finally fell on Elyette, she stuck her tongue out at him.
Elyette ignored Layla‘s provocation. He immediately pulled Shea back, not letting her go after them.
Averie and Wesley arrived not too far from the scene. When they saw Hayden and Layla, Averie sighed in relief. At the same time, she said sternly, “Layla, how could you be so reckless!”
Layla reached out and rubbed her eyes. She said, aggrieved, “Mommy, it‘s pretty in here. I wanted to come and play!”
“Not today! I‘ll take you here another time!” Averie picked her daughter up. From the corner of her eye, she saw Elyette and his two women. She had never thought that he would bring them here together. How harmonious!
Sure enough, if one waited long enough, one would get what they wanted. Zoe was amazing.
When Elyette noticed Averie, his gaze quickly landed on Wesley, who was next to her. Although Wesley looked ordinary, he seemed like a nice guy. They did not look like a good match, but if he was Averie’s choice, Elyette could only respect that.
“Shea, let’s go somewhere else to play, okay?” Elyette said to Shea.
Shea nodded distractedly. She did not understand why Hayden had ignored her. Previously, in school, she was rather close to him.
Elyette held Shea’s hand. When he walked past Averie, he stopped and said, “We‘re leaving. You guys go play!”
If it were not for her children wanting to play, Averie would not have accepted his charity.
After they had left, Layla pulled Hayden along and started running around.
Wesley saw how cold Averie’s expression was. He tried to comfort her, “Averie, don‘t let him affect your mood. He is quite generous. I guess they must have arrived not too long ago.”
“Yes! If we did not enter, they would not have left,” Averie laughed self–deprecatingly. “He is great, giving it up for us.”
“The reason you are so angry at him, could it possibly be because you still care for him?” Wesley’s tone was relaxed, teasing.
Averie realized she had lost her composure. She instantly blushed. “Wesley, don‘t play jokes like this on me in the future. He is extremely happy. He has the people he loves around him now. My appearance only ruined his mood.”
“Hahaha! Don‘t look down! Let‘s go find the kids, in case they run too far away!”
“You go ahead and look for them. I’ll go let the staff know they can open up the snow palace,” Averie said and strode out to the entrance.
She was not in the habit of reserving the entire area to herself.
She stopped by the entrance of the ticketing booth and explained the situation to the staff.” But Mr. Foster has reserved it for the day,” said a member of the staff.
“Donate the extra money you get from the tickets to charity.” The staff member replied, “Let me consult my manager.”
Averie nodded.
just as she was about to re enter the snow palace, she saw Zoe, who was not far away, go limp. She was about to fall.
Elyette reacted quickly and picked her in his arms!
When Averie saw this scene, her eyes fluttered. The air seemed to have frozen. Time seemed to have stopped.
“Dr. Sanford, are you alright?” Elyette lifted Zoe. His eyes were filled with worry.
Zoe saw how worried he looked. She smiled gently and said, “Elyette, I‘m sorry! I was so excited about going out with you today that I couldn‘t sleep last night. I felt a little dizzy just now. I’m fine.”
Elyette sighed in relief. Nothing could happen to Zoe! He still needed her to treat Shea!
“Let‘s go home!” Elyette carried Zoe and headed to the parking lot.
After the staff member consulted his manager, he said to Averie, “Miss, my boss has agreed to your solution, but we need you to give us your contact details. This is in case Mr. Foster asks us about the matter at a later time, then we have an explanation for him.”
Averie came to her senses. The staff member passed her a notebook and pen. “Miss, please write down your name and your contact number.”
Averie had not heard what he had previously said, but she stiffly wrote down her contact details.
Laura was at the Jensens. She had brought some expensive gifts with her and gave them to her younger relatives.
Everyone was extremely friendly and passionate toward her. Even her sister–in–law, who used to be hostile toward her, not only served her tea but also fruits and desserts.
“Laura, why didn‘t you bring Averie along with you?”
Laura accepted the cup of tea. “She went to visit a friend.”
“Oh, get her to come when she is free! We all miss her very much!”
“Hmm! I will tell her that, but she doesn‘t listen to me much anymore. After all, she has her own opinions. Also, she‘s quite busy with her company,” Laura said politely.
“Yes! Who would have thought that she could revitalize Tate Industries! How impressive!” Laura’s sister-in-law said. She looked at her own son. “Laura, our Brent has just finished graduate school last year. He has been looking for jobs, but it was always either the play was
Laura’s sister-in-law said. She looked at her own son. “Laura, our Brent has just finished graduate school last year. He has been looking for jobs, but it was always either the play was too low or the job was not suited to him. Do you think you could talk to Averie and see if she could get Brent a job in the finance department of Tate Industries?”
Laura refused without thinking, “Averie is still fighting a legal battle with the previous finance director. I can‘t interfere with the finance department.”
Laura’s sister-in-law’s expression immediately changed. “You are her mother. How could she not listen to you? You just don‘t want to help us, right?”
Laura placed her teacup down. “Say all you want. I won’t do something that will make things difficult for Averie.” Laura stood up.
“Laura, don‘t be angry! I‘ll take you to visit mom‘s grave!” Laura‘s brother şaw what happened and immediately took Laura out.
At five in the afternoon, Laura had just finished dinner and left the Jensens. She walked to the side of the road to hail a taxi.
In a moment, a taxi pulled up in front of her. Once she got in the car, the taxi drove onto the highway.
A driver in a black Sentana downed a bottle of wine. He was tailing her. Downing his wine, he floored the car, chasing after the taxi.
At five thirty in the afternoon, an accident caused by a driver driving under influence happened on Creek‘s Road!
Once the traffic police arrived at the scene, they picked up the phone of the deceased and dialed her family.
