Before sending the message, Avery hesitated for a while. In the end, she deleted her well-drafted message.
How could she give up on Shea's life? Was she at her wit's end already?
She took a deep breath, planning to calm herself down before thinking of a solution.
An hour later, Layla came home from school. When she returned, she immediately headed to Elliot.
"Daddy, did you fight with Dylan's mother today?"
When Avery heard Layla's questions, she immediately walked over and explained to Layla, "Layla, Daddy did indeed fight with Dylan's mother, but Daddy is not wrong.” "Hehe! My teacher told me all about it! I knew that Daddy loves me best," Layla said and climbed onto Elliot, held his face with both her hands and kissed his cheeks hard.
Seeing how affectionate father and daughter were, Avery was delighted. "Did Dylan transfer schools?"
"No, he transferred to another class."
"Hmm, Layla, don't be affected by this. When friends get bullied, you should courageously stand up and help. Being brave and standing up for someone is a good trait."
Elliot offered a different opinion.
"Mommy is right, but I have something to add. If you can fight them, then you can stand up and be brave, but if you can't fight them, don't be reckless. You can do good, on the condition that it doesn't affect your safety."
"I'll listen to you, Daddy." Avery smiled and carried Layla off from Elliot. "Go wash your hands and have dinner. We have to call your brother tonight.”
"Oh, but if Hayden sees us living in Daddy's house, he would surely be mad." Layla shrugged. "Let me talk to him later!"
"Do you mean that if you talk to him, he won't get mad?" Avery brought Layla to the washroom.
