Fortunately, Layla was quite obedient and basically worked hard to complete the special exercises Averie gave her. Elyette walked to the crib and hesitated for a few seconds before picking Robert up. Averie chided him, “Didn’t you say you had no energy to step out of my courtyard because you’re too hungry?”. Elyette took it all in stride and was fine with whatever she said as long as she did not stop him from holding the baby.
“My son is so adorable that I can feel my energy coming back whenever I see him.”
“Oh, since that’s the case, you might as well skip your meals and just replenish your energy by carrying the baby every day! It’d save Mrs. Scarlet the trouble of cooking your daily meals,” Averie continued mocking him.
Elyette hugged Robert and played with the boy while responding to her, “I don’t mind starving to death, but I’m worried that a certain someone can’t bear to see me like that.”
Averie’s cheeks turned red and she retorted. “Who says I can’t bear that sight? Don’t think so highly of yourself.”
After saying that, she went to the bathroom to wash hered hands.
Elyette carried Robert up and stared into the child’s eyes. The boy’s eyes were shining faintly, like a pair of black gems that were particularly dark and25 glowing
Elyette felt completely drawn to that little life.
His feelings for Robert were not as strong when the boy was just84 born. That was why it was difficult for him to face Robert after Shea’s accident. There was even a time when he resented Robert.
When he looked back, he felt that he was gravely50 mistaken!
The little boy never did anything wrong.
Robert looked at Elyette’s face and blew raspberries all of a sudden. He spat out some saliva and made babyef noises. Elyette was amused by Robert’s silly yet adorable antics. “Who’s my silly little boy?!”
Averie came out of the bathroom and was far from amused when she heard his words. Her face turned cold in an40 instant. “What did you call the baby?” Elyette realized that he had said something wrong, and immediately changed his words, “Who’s my good little boy!” Over at the stairs, Layla dashed down. “Mommy!” Layla called out to Averie before realizing that Elyette was also there. She proceeded to ask her mother loudly without showing any effort to dance around the topic, “Mommy! Didn’t you promise Hayden that you wouldn’t let Daddy come to our house in the future?”
Averie felt guilty all of a sudden. “He’ll be very angry if he comes back and sees Daddy!” Layla walked downstairs and reminded Averie loudly. Averie immediately asked Elyette, “You said that Hayden’s going to be back a little later today. Are you sure?”
Elyette nodded. “His teacher told me.”
“His teacher? You spoke to his teacher in private? Who did you talk to?”
“All of them.”
Averie was stunned.
That man was insane.
He bribed not only her bodyguard but her son’s teachers too
She leaned into his ear and whispered, “Did you also speak with Layla’s teachers in private?” “Of course.”
Elyette was afraid that his daughter would be bullied at school and felt worried even though he knew that there was only a very slim chance of that happening. His daughter was very beautiful and had a very assertive character. Everything would be fine and dandy if no one provoked her, but if someone pushed her buttons, she would definitely fight back even though she could not win against them! As a result, he had a word with the school in private.
“You’re such an awesome father.” Averie teased him.
“I know what I have done is far from enough, but I’ll continue to try my best.”
Averie looked at Layla and explained, “Your brother will be back a bit later today. Your father was out the whole day to pick Aunt Tammy up and just came back. It was a pretty long day for him, so I left some food for him.”
“Oh,” Layla answered after hearing the explanation. Since there was a reasonable explanation, she put away the attitude she had shown Elyette earlier. “Mommy, I like my magic wand!” Layla took Averie’s hand and walked toward the dining room. “I’m going to be the most beautiful little princess tomorrow.”
Averie said, “You’ll always be the most beautiful little princess to me.”
Layla’s face blushed after being praised and she said energetically, “Mommy, let me tell you a secret!” Having said that, Layla turned her head to look at Elyette. The girl seemed worried that he would hear it, but at the same time, worried that he would not hear it.
In the end, Layla said the secret in a voice that only Averie and Elyette could hear. “Hayden took Tigg apart last night!” Averie had an embarrassed expression and glanced apologetically at Elyette. Elyette said magnanimously, “It’s fine. The gift is for him. It’s his to do whatever he wants with it.”
Layla then continued, “Harden said that Tigg is too stupid. He can’t stand such a stupid thing in the room, so he wants to dismantle Tigg and make Tiggieed smarter.”
Averie and Elyette were both speechless. It turned out that Hayden was upgrading Tigg instead of destroying it. Mrs. Cooper brought the food to the table and took Robert from Elyette’s arms. As he looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table, Elyette found it rather depressing that Robert could only drink milk and felt pity all of a sudden. “When can Robert start eating solid food? Can I give him somede meat?” Averie explained, “For now, he can only eat baby cereal, vegetable puree, and fruit puree.”
“Can you eat meat puree 52 then?” “Why do you insist on feeding your children meat?” Averie looked at him in puzzlement.
“Do you think eating meat can make him grow faster and smarter? You know what, it doesn’t matter what you think. He still can’t eat meat yet.” Elyette explained his reasoning, “I just think meat isce delicious.” “You should eat more then if it’s that delicious.” Averie placed a plate of spare ribs in front of him.
“We shouldn’t be arguing in front of the children, Averie. It won’t be a good influence ongf them.”
Averie asked Layla, “Do you think Mommy and Daddy are arguing, Layla?” Layla blinked her beautiful eyes. “How is this arguing? Mommy is obviously lecturing Daddy.” Averie gave her daughter a piece of meat and told her to close her mouth.
After having a satisfying dinner, Elyette did not stay too long because he was afraid that Hayden would come back anytime and sulk after seeing him. Averie walked him to the door after seeing how tactful he was. “Thank you for picking Tammy up today.” She thanked him with some hesitation. “You’re welcome.” He looked at her awkward little expression and said hoarsely, “See you tomorrow.”
“Okay.” She lowered her eyes, turned around immediately, and closed the door before returning to the living room. The driver drove the car over and opened the car door for him. He shifted his gaze away from the closed villa door and got into the car. Half an hour later, the black Rolls-Roice drove through the driveway leading up to the villa.
A sneaky and extremely suspicious black figure was spotted outside the villa fence. Elyette immediately lowered the car window to try and see the person’s face.
Elyette thought that lowering the car window would startle the man. He thought that the man would lower his head or turn around. Surprisingly, the man raised his head and looked at Elyette after the latter lowered the car window. Elyette frowned almost instantly and glared back at the man! In stark contrast to Elyette’s angry emotions, the man grinned and smiled at him!
