Among all his children, only Robert really liked him and wanted to be with him.
Before the winter and summer vacations, Layla wanted to take Robert to find Avery in Bridgedale, but Robert was unwilling to go.
He preferred to stay at home and be by his father's side.
"Robert, dad is thrilled to see you every day. " Elliot hugged his son and sat down on the couch. "Dad will be away from home for a few days, though. Dad is going to a distant place..."
"Don't!" Robert didn’t even think about it. He frowned and got angry, "I won't let Dad go!"
Elliot knew that his son would react this way, so he took out the gift he had brought.
"Look at this robot; it's missing a leg!"
Robert’s eyes were immediately attracted to the robot.
"Dad is going to a faraway place to help the robot get the other leg back. When Dad gets the robot's leg, Dad will come home, okay?" Elliot coaxed patiently.
Robert nodded.
With his son's permission, Elliot booked his flight ticket.
Robert started playing with the robot that was missing a leg.
Mrs. Cooper came over and asked, "Sir, where are you going? How many days are you going to spend away?"
"I'm not sure. I'll be back as soon as possible." Elliot booked a flight ticket for tonight and returned to his room to pack his luggage. "I'm going to Ylore.”
"Oh... okay, take care of yourself. Don't worry about Robert. I'll take good care of him."
"Sure."
Elliot quickly packed his luggage and entered the main bedroom with a small suitcase.
The driver was already waiting in the yard, ready to go.
