"Don't blame Robert. Robert is a child and is close to whoever takes care of him." Ben saw the sadness in her eyes, so he comforted her. "Robert and Elliot have a special relationship, just like Layla and Hayden have with you "
"How could I blame Robert? I'm not the one taking care of him. To him, I am only a stranger."
"Well, how long do you plan to stay in Aryadelle this time? If you stay for a long time, I can bring Robert over the next time." Ben said, "Even if Elliot finds out, I'll take the blame."
"I think I will stay for a long time." Avery said, "When Elliot returns, I will talk to him about the child's visitation rights. I never denied him his right to visit Hayden, so he can’t refuse my request to visit Robert."
"If you want to talk, you must talk calmly. Don't start arguing again."
Avery retorted. "You should tell him instead. As long as he doesn't start a quarrel with me, I will not quarrel with him.
"Oh, good." Ben then picked Robert up from behind and put him on his lap, letting Avery take a good look at him, "Robert, this is your mother! What are you afraid of? If your sister sees her mother returning, she will jump up in happiness!"
"I'm afraid." Robert's voice was slow and soft.
Ben laughed and patted his head. "You are a man, be brave." "I'm afraid." Robert lowered his head and focused on the snacks in his hand, not daring to face Avery.
Avery felt that her son's reaction was genuine. That probably meant he was perhaps overprotected in his daily life.
"Robert, do you want to watch the videos of your sister when she was a child?" Avery thought of a way to get closer to Robert.
She turned on her phone, found the video of Layla's childhood, and clicked on it.
Layla's voice came from the phone, and Robert was immediately attracted to it.
Ben carried him to Avery's side and watched Layla's video together.
After about ten minutes, Ben walked away from Robert, and Robert stood beside Avery, not as scared as before.
"Oh..." Robert got the answer >a!
