"Layla, did the reporters give you an interview just now?" Eric asked.
"Hmm, they just asked some questions," Layla said with a yawn, "Uncle Eric! I'm sleepy! I want to sleep."
Eric lifted her. "Go sleep! Once you're up, you can be with your Mommy in Bridgedale."
Layla initially had a tired expression, but after hearing what he said, she smiled sweetly. "I miss Mommy. I have so many things I want to tell her..." Layla said softly and closed her eyes.
In Bridgedale, Avery had been busy preparing for the surgery the past few days. Mrs. Cooper and another nanny had been taking good care of Robert.
Avery occasionally came to see Robert, because they had agreed to spend New Year's Eve together, Tammy was in charge of curating the menu for dinner. She passed it to Avery to have a look.
Avery looked at the menu and said respectfully, "You’re much more knowledgeable when it comes to food. I trust you."
"Avery, you won't mind if I bring another person along, right?" Tammy took the menu back. Her facial expressions were rather unnatural.
"Of course, I won't mind, but who are you bringing?" Avery sized her face up. She felt as if Tammy had something to announce.
"Uh...I have a new boyfriend. A Bridgedalean. He is good to me, so I agreed to be his girlfriend. I'm only doing this for myself. If not, all I think of is Jun whenever I close my eyes. I'm going crazy," Tammy sighed and continued, "Didn't they say the best way to forget a person is to start a new relationship?"
"Tammy, are you serious?" Avery said heartbreakingly, "Jun sent me a message yesterday. He said he can't forget you. He fought with his parents because he did not want to be only a tool to bear children. I tried to talk him out of it, but I don't think he took my advice."
Avery did not want to upset Tammy, so she did not tell her about this. After all, to completely cut ties with Jun, Tammy has blocked all of his contacts.
The expression on Tammy’s face froze. Her eyes instantly reddened.
"Let's call him and ask," Avery picked up her phone. She found Jun's contact ;a"
The call soon connected.
