Avery left at six in the morning?
It was winter. At six, dawn had not arrived.
Elliot picked up his phone and walked to the door. He looked outside and called
Avery.
Soon, she picked up.
"Where are you? Why did you leave so early in the morning?" His constricted heart relaxed a little.
"I'm visiting my mother's grave." Avery's tone was calm. "Why don’t you look after the children at home today!"
"Why don't you want me to go with you?" Elliot preferred to follow her to the grave.
"Mike is with me. Why don't you stay at home!"
Avery was in deep thought.
Elliot could sense that she was not in a good mood and was not willing to talk, so he did not say anything else.
After hanging up, Layla walked over to him and asked, "Where did Mommy go? Why did she leave so early in the morning? Did you make her angry?"
"Your mother went to visit your grandmother's grave," Elliot explained. " She misses your grandmother."
Layla responded, "Oh. I miss her too.
Although I haven't seen her in a long time, I still remember that she loves me a lot."
"Hmm. Have you all eaten breakfast?" Elliot asked.
"Yes! Aunt Shea has already left!" Layla said, "Uncle Adrian is not up yet." "Hmm, then I'll go have breakfast." Elliot patted Layla's head and headed to the dining hall.
He has only sat down for not long when Adrian came out of his room.
He looked at his phone saw his name appearing on the news, but it was only because of Susan.
