If Layla had known about the contents in the box, she would not have gone through all the trouble to bring it home.
However, it would be difficult for them to return it now without anyone finding out.
She probably would never be able to go to her Dirtbag Dad's house ever again.
Forget it! She would just keep the box hidden under the bed.
It was nothing but a CD and a piece of paper, so it definitely was not anything important.
By the time Hayden entered the bedroom after returning the laptop, Layla had already fallen into a deep slumber.
In the other room, Avery was wide awake.
Perhaps it was because she had overslept that day that she was now wide awake.
When wide awake, one's mind would wander when they had nothing else to do.
At this moment, for example, Avery's mind was obsessing over Elliot.
Her head was filled with images of his handsome face, while every breath she took was his scent.
She could even remember the touch and temperature of his skin.
If he had not found her last night, she would either be dead or lying in the intensive care unit right now.
There were many things she wanted to say, but she did not dare express.
Elliot was no longer her husband.
He had Shea in his heart and Zoe by his side.
Avery was nothing but his ex wife.
They could no longer turn back on their relationship.
As tears rolled down her cheeks, Avery shut her eyes and forced herself not to think.
A perfect life was never a guarantee.
She had Hayden and Layla, as well as a career.
She was more blessed than ninety nine percent of people in the world.
She should not be greedy.
Three days later, Zoe noticed that her period was a week late.
Her suspicions arose because her menstrual cycle was normally on time.
She left for the drugstore first thing in the morning and bought a pregnancy test. 1
