In the evening, at the Starry River Villa.
During dinner, Mike told Avery his plans for the outing on Memorial Day.
"Why are you telling me this? I'm not going with you anyway," Avery said calmly.
"I know you're not coming with us. I'm telling you because I'm taking Hayden along," Mike explained, "Will you let Hayden come with us?"
Avery looked at Hayden. "Do you want to go play with them? Do you have a holiday?"
Hayden said, "I've already agreed to them."
Avery was speechless. Mike looked smug." Since you have nothing to say, I'm taking Hayden out on Memorial Day. Layla said that she is going out with Eric. As for
Robert, I wanted to take him along, but Mrs. Cooper disagreed."
Avery placed her utensils down and swept all of them a gaze. "What is the meaning of this? Are you really leaving me home alone?"
"Didn't you want to spend time with Elliot alone?" Mike teased, "Shouldn’t you be happy?"
"I wasn't serious. He might not even be free on Memorial Day." Avery felt a little sad thinking about how she was left alone.
"Just get him to take you out. The wedding is in a month! There's nothing wrong with taking a few days off," Mike consoled her," After all, I have already booked a ticket for Hayden. We'll give you a video call every day."
Avery harrumphed and picked her utensils up once again.
Layla coaxed, "Mommy, why don’t you come with me and Uncle Eric! He said that he wants to bring me scuba diving!"
"Forget about it. I’ll just stay at home." Avery planned to ask Elliot later what his Memorial Day plans were.
At that moment, Mrs. Cooper came over with a bowl of soup.
