Avery was stunned. "Are you sure?"
Mrs. Cooper smiled widely. "Hmm, don't worry. I will take care of Robert. I will make sure he doesn't fall sick."
"Why did you change your mind suddenly? " Avery felt something was off. "If you were to take Robert out, I would be home alone."
Mrs. Cooper said, "Get Master Elliot to come and be with you! I've already told Mike."
Mrs. Cooper left.
Avery returned to her room and called Elliot.
"Elliot, do you have any plans on Memorial Day?"
On the other end of the line, Elliot clearly had not thought about this matter. His tone was rather laidback. "Memorial Day is not here yet, right?"
"It's in two days. Mike is going to take Hayden and Robert out to play. Eric will be taking Layla scuba diving. I thought I was the only one who hasn’t planned for the holidays yet." Avery sounded a little sad. "I never thought that you haven't planned for it yet. Don't tell me you'll still be busy preparing for the wedding on Memorial Day?"
Elliot did not answer her question, but asked her, "They are all going out and leaving you home alone?"
"Yes! Are you trying to take pity on me? Aren't you alone too?" "How do you plan to celebrate? I’ll come to be with you." Elliot chuckled a little.
"Oh...let’s talk about it later! I'll go think it through while I'm in the shower.” Avery let out a sigh. She murmured, "Suddenly the children are leaving me. I'm not used to this feeling."
Elliot was just thinking of a way to console her when she added, "But I'm happy! I can finally not care about the kids. The next few days will be all about me!"
Elliot was speechless.
"By the way, Avery, your patient, Adrian. What is his father's name?" Elliot suddenly asked.
The smile on Avery's face vanished. "Why are you suddenly concerned about this?"
