Chapter 792
When His Eyes Opened
Layla said confusedly, âHayden, what do you mean by the new son? Are you talking about Robert? Is
there a difference between new and old? You and Robert are all his sons, right?â
Hayden was speechless.
âIf he were to have another daughter with Mommy in the future, will I be the old daughter then?â Layla
said, âHayden, I donât think Daddy is the type of person that only likes new things.â
âHe treats you well so you think he is a good person, but he does not treat me that way!â Hayden did
not want to think about anything that has to do with Elliot.
âDonât mention him in front of me, I donât want to hear about him.â
âHayden, when he was bad to you back then, thatâs because he didnât know that youâre his son. It has
to be that way.â Although Layla was a little afraid of Hayden getting angry, she did not want to see
Hayden and Elliot in such a bad relationship.
âEven if he didnât know I was his son, he knows that I am Mommyâs son,â Hayden retorted,â When he
goes mad, he wouldnât think about all these.â
âOkay, then. Hayden, I wonât acknowledge him anymore, but I called him Daddy twice today,â Layla
said conflictingly.
âSince you have already called him Daddy, that means you have already acknowledged him.â Hayden
looked at Layla with a betrayed expression. âYouâve grown up. Letâs not sleep together in the future.â
Layla started crying. âHayden, Iâm scared to sleep alone.â
Hayden looked at her reddened eyes. He turned softhearted.
âWhat did Elliot give you? Why did you call him Daddy?â
Layla shrugged and scratched her head.
âI didnât want him to blame Robert for Sheaâs incident. He said that he doesnât blame Robert. He said
that he was going to spend New Year alone at home. I thought about how lonely he would be, so I took
pity on him. He said for a New Yearsâ gift, he would like me to call him Daddy...â
âThis is just a tactic that dirtbag uses! He often does this in front of Mommy! Which is why Mommy is
bewitched by him.â
When Layla heard what Hayden said, she could no longer lie.
âHe knows I stole his box.â Layla pouted came clean.
âToday, a bad lady came and take the box away, but not only did Daddy not blame me, but he also
comforted me.â
Haydenâs face instantly turned serious and cold.
âDaddy said that the bad lady died in a car crash.â
At that, Laylaâs eyes turned wet.
âIâm afraid. I donât dare to tell Mommy or Uncle Mike. It was Daddy who came to comfort me. Hayden,
if you were to come back earlier, I wouldnât be that scared.â
Hayden retracted his defensiveness a little.
âLayla, donât be afraid. Since he doesnât blame you, then just treat it like this never happened.
âHayden hugged Layla and patiently comforted her, âSince you acknowledged him already, donât regret
it. Iâm not angry. I wonât blame you either.â
âHayden, he said the things in the box are gone,â Layla sniffled, âHe said that the things are not
important, but if they are not important, why would the bad person come to look for me because of the
box? I wonât dare to take his things anymore in the future.â
âDonât believe what strangers tell you in the future,â Hayden warned, âIf Uncle Mike and I are not there,
you can tell the bodyguard.â
Layla nodded furiously, âDaddy asks me not to tell Mommy about this.â
âHmm, Mommy needs to take care of Robert. Itâs tiring.â
The next day, Elliot took the photo of the woman who died in the car crash to Laylaâs classmateâs
house, the one who invited Layla over the day before.
âAt my daughterâs birthday yesterday, we invited a group of classmates over to have fun. I do not know
the woman in the photo. She said that you sent her to care for Layla, which was why I let her in.â
Laylaâs classmateâs mother looked at the photo Elliot passed to her and explained, âI only believe her
because she said that Layla is your daughter. I thought that not everybody knows about this private
fact.â
âYour daughterâs birthday is not yesterday,â Elliot said coldly, âIf youâre going to continue to lie to me, we
donât have to continue this discussion!â
âMr. Foster, my daughterâs birthday is indeed not yesterday, but I decided to hold a party for her at the
very last minute because a cake brand contacted me saying that they would sponsor my daughterâs
birthday cake and some limitedâedition gifts, as long as I invite a few kids over, take some photos, and
upload them online.â
âWhich cake brand is this?â Elliot suddenly furrowed his brows and questioned sternly.
After knowing which cake brand, Elliot stormed off.
An hour later, Elliot arrived in the main headquarters building of said cake brand. The cake brand,
Tarragon Industries, is the leading company in the cake industry.
