Chad nodded: “You know Mr. Foster’s temperament. He ain’t afraid of Avery finding out.”

A blissful day had gone by in the blink of an eye. At dusk, Elliot planned to treat everyone to dinner. Layla had

enjoyed her time in the park for the day. She had a blast and at the same time, she was starving

That was why she had no objection to Elliot’s invitation to dinner.

At that moment, Mike’s phone beeped. Mike whipped out his phone from his pocket. When he saw the number, he

made a ‘shush’ sign with his index finger. “It’s Avery. Everyone, be quiet.”

He answered the phone as soon as he saw their nods. “Hi, Avery. Were you trying to make a video call with Layla?

We’re outside now! Once we get home, we’ll give you a call back, alright?

“I’m back in the state and I’m at home now.” Avery’s voice was slow and steady, never pushy. “Bring Layla back,

will ya?”

Mike was stunned at the request. Before he had time to emanate his shock, Avery had hung up.

“F*ck me!” Mike’s face turned red and his heart was fluttering. “Avery is back! She’s at home! She ordered me to

bring Layla back! She must have smelled something!” Chad’s heartbeat was picking up as well. “Hmm…maybe not.

She sounded gentle.” Mike reassured himself, “Perhaps she doesn’t know anything… Let me send Layla back first.

You guys go ahead for dinner.” Mike picked up Layla and headed toward the parking lot. Chad was worried, so he

said to Elliot, “Sir, I’ll help you check oned Avery!” The three of them vanished before his eyes. Elliot turned on his

phone. It was quite the collection of pictures he had taken of Laylale today. The light emanating from Layla’s smile

in the photo had brightened the dark world he was living in.

At Starry River94 Villa. Avery’s sudden return had lifted Layla’s spirits. It was a last-minute decision as she wanted

to give them a surprise. That explained the lack of18 notice. When Mike got Layla home, Layla nuzzled against

Avery. “Mommy! You’re finally back! I miss you so sod3 much!”

Avery held Layla tight, and with a motherly smile, she said, “Mommy misses you too. That’s why when your little

brother got well, 1 came back without thinking twice.” When Mike and Chad saw the smile on Avery’s face, they

breathed a sigh ofcb relief.

“Mike, where did you take Layla today?” The smile on Avery’s face vanished. Mike scratched his head. “Outdoors…

an outdoors theme park” Avery asked, “Which theme park was it? Was it fun?”

Mike was trying his best in crafting his lies. “A new theme park… I forgot what it’s called. It sure was fun. Layla

didn’t even want to come back!” Hayden’s carefree voice came from somewhere. “Mommy already knows. That’s

what you get for not keeping the Dream City promotional poster.” Mike was quiet.”…” Chad was silenced.”…”

Layla pursed her lips and started apologizing, “Mommy, I’m sorry. I had a day out with daddy today. And it was fun.”

Mike defended, “Avery, don’t blame Layla. This was all on me…” “Of course I blame you!” Avery pointed her finger

right at him. “What did I tell you back then? What did you promise me? Have you suffered from amnesia?” Chad

couldn’t bear seeing Mike take all the blame. He explained, “Avery, this has got nothing to do with Mike. I brought

the poster. I wanted to take her to Dream City.” Avery’s cold eyes darted towards Chad. Suddenly, a dazzling white

light pierced through the doorway. After the white light went away, a black Rolls-Roice came into view.
