Having said this, Mrs. Cooper shook her head.
“Then what did Elyette do when he came back? ” Averie looked at the two children from the corner of her eyes.
Layla took Robert’s hand and wanted to lead him to the bathroom to wash her hands.
Mrs. Cooper said sadly, “Elyette only glanced at Robert, and didn’t even hold the child. After he came back, he went upstairs and took some things. I don’t know what he took.”
Averie, strode upstairs.
Elyette came back to get something?
If the two of them were to break up, what would Elyette take away?
Is it luggage Or important information about work?
Every time Averie took a step upstairs, her heart sank.
Reaching the second floor, Averie first entered the master bedroom and opened his wardrobe. In the closet, there were basically no less clothes for him.
“Averie, Elyette didn’t come to pack.” Mrs. Cooper caught up and saw her standing in front of the closet, so she said, “He used a black bag to pack not many things.”
“Yes, daily necessities could be bought at any time. He didn’t need to bring these.” Averie closed the wardrobe door and walked towards his study room and asked, “Did he say anything?”
Mrs. Cooper: “Nothing.”
“Nothing?” Averie Didn’t dare to believe.
Mrs. Cooper said truthfully, “That’s not true. I told him that you waited for him until late last night, and he asked me to take care of the child and don’t worry about other things. Averie, all I can do is take good care of Robert. I can’t help you with other things.”
“Thank you very much for helping me take care of Robert. We will solve the matter between me and Elyette.” Averie walked to the door of his study and wanted to open the door.
Mrs. Cooper said and walked away immediately, “Then I’ll go downstairs first.”
Averie pushed open the study door and entered the study. She turned on the room light, and the room suddenly brightened like daylight.
On his desk, the clean and tidy notebook was there. The whole wall of bookshelves next to it did not any change. Perhaps what Elyette took away was what was in his safe.
She walked to his desk and saw his safe.She hadn’t remembered the password to his safe. He had written her a note with his safe code on it.
If Averie wanted to open his safe, just look for the note.
The note was supposed to be in the interlayer of her bag, but her feet seemed to be filled with lead and she couldn’t move at all.
What if it was confirmed that he had taken the contents of the safe?
His heart was no longer in this home, and she can’t stop him when he wanted to leave.
She sat down in his chair and couldn’t help thinking, what would happen to them if she happened to be home when Elyette came back at noon?
Will there be a heated argument, or will everything be said and then reconciled as in the past after countless arguments?
How she wished it was the latter.
In the dining hall.
Layla was sullen.
Averie had no appetite.
“Layla, are you happy at school today?” Of course Averie knew why her daughter was unhappy, but there was nothing she could do.
“Happy.” Layla said angrily, “Mom, is Dad working overtime again?”
“Well, he’s been busy lately.” Averie didn’t want her daughter to worry. If lying would make her daughter feel at ease, she would do it.
“Did Dad tell you that?” Layla pressed.
“Yeah. Layla, your dad was resting at home because he was on marriage leave. He used to be so busy at work. Actually, mom is also very busy with work, but with your Uncle Mike’s help, mom can go earlier and come back.” Averie explained patiently.
“Okay!” Layla didn’t doubt what her mother said, so she replied, “If my father is so busy every day, I would suspect that I don’t have a father. Tomorrow is the weekend. Does he have to work overtime tomorrow?”
Averie put down the bowl Chopsticks as her heart was even more uncomfortable.
On weekdays, she could lie to the child that Elyette had to work overtime, but what about weekends? How to cheat?
Averie changed the subject, “After dinner, Layla, let’s make a videocall with your brother. When you have summer vacation, mom will take you and your brother to Bridgedale.”
“Oh.” Layla lowered her eyes. Suddenly, bean-sized teardrops rustled down.
Seeing her daughter like this, Averie suddenly became confused. She got up from the dining chair and walked to her daughter: “Don’t cry baby. Mom and Dad just quarreled. It’s not as scary as you think.”
“Isn’t it scary enough to take my brother and me to find my brother without taking my father?” Layla looked sad, “Are you two going to divorce?”
“No. I haven’t gotten the certificate with your dad yet. If we separate, it’s just a breakup, not a divorce.” Averie took a tissue to wiped her daughter’s tears and said.
“Oh…isn’t that the same thing? Woohoo!” Layla listened to her Explanation and the tears flowed more fiercely.
Averie said softly, “Layla, don’t cry yet. Listen to your mother. No matter what your mother and father are, we will always love you as well as your brothers and sisters. Your mother will always be with you.”
“I don’t like the two of you arguing. But you two always quarrel.” Layla’s eyes filled with tears of grievance, and roared.
Averie didn’t know how to answer, so she fell silent.
After about a minute or two, Layla looked at Mom’s face and suddenly softened: “I’m sorry Mom. I shouldn’t be talking to you so loudly.”
“It’s okay. Mom and Dad aren’t good enough.”
“Mom, you have to stay with me, Robert and my brother, Hayden.” Layla hugged her mother and choked out the request.
In the evening, after coaxing the child to sleep, Averie dragged her tired body out of the child’s room. She strode towards the master bedroom, and after entering the room, she closed the door.
It can’t go on like this. Even if Shea and Adrian were not considered, Elyette’s leaving like this would have a great impact on the children.
She found Chad’s phone and dialed it.
“Chad, where is Elyette now? I want to see him.” Averie said calmly.
Chad said helplessly, “Averie, I’m sorry. I went to look for him today, but I couldn’t find him. I also asked Brother Ben, and Brother Ben didn’t know where Elyette was.”
Averie: “Elyette didn’t contact you and didn’t care about the company?”
Chad frowned, “No. He’s never been like this before.”
Averie called out again. “Did he plan to keep running away like this? I already know that I was wrong. Even if he wanted to break up, I could cooperate with him.”
Chad said, “Don’t talk about it. It’s easier said than done when you two break up. Just wait patiently. I have a hunch it’s going to come out next week.”
Averie: “The result?”
Chad said firmly. “Yeah. He’s not the kind of guy who likes to procrastinate. No matter how serious the problem is between the two of you, he’s not going to keep procrastinating. Yes.”
“Hopefully.” Averie only asked him to give him a good time.
The next day.
