Chapter 942

“Elliot,” she called out his name.

“Just eat, will you!”

He unconsciously curled his lips into a beautiful smile.

Satisfied, he turned around and followed her into the living room.

When Mrs. Cooper saw the two of them coming in, she immediately smiled and said, ” Dinner’s ready.

I’ll check and see if Layla has finished her homework.”

Layla had just started elementary school. She had homework every day, and lots of it too.

Avery decided to hire a tutor just to supervise Layla’s daily homework.

Layla was not particularly enthusiastic about learning, and it would be quite difficult for her to keep up if

she was not given the necessary push.

Fortunately, Layla was quite obedient and basically worked hard to complete the special exercises

Avery gave her. Elliot walked to the crib and hesitated for a few seconds before picking Robert up.

Avery chided him, “Didn’t you say you had no energy to step out of my courtyard because you’re too

hungry?”.

Elliot 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,” Avery continued

mocking him.

Elliot 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.”

Avery’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 her hands.

Elliot 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 and glowing

Elliot felt completely drawn to that little life.

His feelings for Robert were not as strong when the boy was just 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 gravely mistaken!

The little boy never did anything wrong.

Robert looked at Elliot’s face and blew raspberries all of a sudden. He spat out some saliva and made

baby noises. Elliot was amused by Robert’s silly yet adorable antics.

“Who’s my silly little boy?!”

Avery 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?” Elliot 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 Avery before realizing that Elliot 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?”

Avery felt guilty all of a sudden.

“He’ll be very angry if he comes back and sees Daddy!” Layla walked downstairs and reminded Avery

loudly. Avery immediately asked Elliot, “You said that Hayden’s going to be back a little later today. Are

you sure?”

Elliot nodded. “His teacher told me.”

“His teacher? You spoke to his teacher in private? Who did you talk to?”

“All of them.”

Avery 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.”
