“I brought the presents here. Let me show you,” Elyette said, about to go to get the presents.
Averie saw him pacing back and forth with Robert in his arms. He said, “You’re carrying Robert, can’t you just sit still? If I want to see the presents, I’ll go see them myself.” Elyette heard what she said and sat down next to her.
“Just say that you bought the presents. Don’t mention me,” Elyette reminded.
“I will help you pass the presents to the children. Don’t you worry about the rest.” Averie looked at the boxes and thought that the presents were surely expensive.
Elyette’s phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence.
He was carrying Robert. It was hard for him to grab his phone. He initially wanted to pass Robert to Averie, but he remembered that she said she was too weak. Thus, he stood up and got Averie to help retrieve his phone.
Averie could not refuse him. She reached her hand into his pocket and took his phone out. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Chad. “Answer it,” Elyette said, “Put it oned loudspeaker.” Averie answered the call and put it on the loudspeaker. She placed the phone on the coffee table. “Mr. Foster, I got someone to ask the price that your brother asked for. He is asking for fifteen million in full. This price is considered extremely cheap,” Chad said, “I’m guessing he is desperate for money right now. It’s true too, Cole doesn’t have work right now. They have no income. We can only imagine how bad it is for them.”
When Averie heard what Chad said, she immediately looked at Elyette. “Is your brother planning to sell off the old mansion?”
On the other end of the line, Chad heard Averie’s voice and was instantly baffled.
Elyette said, “Hmm, do you think I should buy it?”
Chad was conflicted. “Mr. Foster, are you talking to me or…Averie?”
Averie said, “If you want to buy it, just do it. Why do you need to ask me?” She added, “Also, fifteen million is nothing to you. There is nothing to be torn about.”
Elyette said, “Does that mean you’re asking me to buyd3 it?”
Averie blushed. “Just buy it if you want to, why are you asking me?” Elyette looked at her. “You’re next to me. I’m just casually asking.”
Averie said, “Then, I won’t stay here.” She got up and headed to the kitchen. Elyette said to Chad. “Chad, go look for Henry and buy it.” Chad said, “Okay!”
At night, Elyette drove to the old mansion. It was part of his estate. It was pointless to mention it since this was always his home. He had spent most of his childhood there.
However, after cutting ties with Henry, he had never returned since. At that moment, this mansion belonged to him once again. He walked to the main door and inserted the key. Suddenly, a pungent smell wafted over!
Back at the Starry River Villa, Averie was feeling much better compared to during the day. Aside from feeling a little exhausted, her stomach did not hurt anymore.
After having a warm and pleasant dinner, she brought the two children to the living room and took out the gifts both she and Elyette had prepared for them.
Elyette asked her not to tell them that those gifts were from him, but she could not fulfill that request of his because she did not want to l to the children. “Why are there four gifts, Mommy?” Layla’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the four gift boxes. She was very excited to open all the gifts.
“Mommy bought these two, and Daddy bought the other two.” Averie made a point to pay special attention to Hayden’s expression when she said that.
When Hayden heard the word ‘Daddy’, his warm expression turned cold in an instant. “Let’s open the gifts and see what’s inside!” Averie picked up the gift that Elyette bought first because she knew that Hayden would leave if he opened her gift first.
Averie was just as curious as to what kind of gifts Elyette bought.
Given how much importance Elyette had placed on the children, she had a feeling that he bought stuff the children would like.
Averie opened the first gift and took out an exquisite-looking little box.
Before Averie even opened it, Layla immediately exclaimed, “This must be for me! It’s definitely a beautiful hairpin inside!”
Averie smiled and handed the box to Layla. “Go ahead and open it then.” Layla took the gift box excitedly and opened it.
A pink heart-shaped diamond came into Layla’s view, sparkling brightly underneath theed light.
Layla opened her mouth in shock and awe!
“What a huge diamond!” Mrs. Cooper held Robert and watched from one side. The diamond inside the box came as a big surprise tole her.
Layla trembled as she took it out of the box.
It was a very huge, raw diamond!
“Why did Daddy give me this diamond? I can’t wear it around my neck or clip it on my hair. Is it supposed to be a toy?” Layla joked. She then tossed the diamond in the air like a pebble and caught it.
“What do you want to turn it into? I can always bring it to a jewelry store and let someone turn it into something else,” Averie explained. “Don’t throw it around! It’s expensive, and you wouldn’t want to break it.”
“Oh! I have an idea! Could you bring it to the store and tell them to make a magic wand for me? “Layla allowed her imagination to run wild. “It’ll be so cool if this diamond was placed on top of the magic wand!”
Averie was speechless. She opened the gift that Elyette bought for Hayden and took out a tiger shaped robot fromd3 it.
The robot was not very big and was about the size of a large piggy bank “What’s this?!” Layla looked at the little tiger curiously. Averie took out the instruction manual from the box and read it before handing it over to her daughter. “This is a smart robot.”
“Whoa! Hayden likes robots the most!” Layla said as she took the little tiger. “Put it down, Layla!” Hayden frowned. “I don’t want his gift!” Layla pouted. “Suit yourself! If you don’t want this cute little tiger, I’ll take it!” She had already found the robot’s power button and pressed it. “Good evening, Master! I’m Tiggie, the tiger who knows all! Ask me a question!” Layla asked, “Tiggie, Tiggie! My brother doesn’t want you. What are you going to do about that?” Tigg was silent for a few seconds before letting out a burst of screams!
