Mike was so shocked that he thought his soul was about to leave his body!
"What the hell are you doing with my phone?!" he snapped furiously, then snatched his phone back.
On the other end of the line, Avery was stunned.
Who snatched Mike's phone away? Who would dare do such a thing?
Elliot's face automatically appeared in her mind.
"Put it on speaker!" Elliot demanded through bloodshot eyes.
Robert had a fever. He needed to know how he was doing.
When Avery heard Elliot's voice, she drew a sharp breath.
What were Elliot and Mike doing together?
It should be past seven in the morning in Aryadelle. What was Elliot doing at her house?
"Why should I do what you say? You're not the boss of me!" Mike could not hold back his bad temper.
Elliot's expression instantly turned dark as his cold eyes emanated a murderous aura
Mike, however, was not afraid of him.
Layla stood next to Mike and watched as the two men argued. She thought they were about to start a fight, and she burst into tears.
"I'm gonna be late for school!" she sobbed.
Layla was not the type of little girl who cried for no reason.
The moment she began to cry, Mike and Elliot instantly let down their guards and looked at her helplessly.
"Don't cry, sweetie! I'll take you to school right away! I promise you won't be late!" Mike picked Layla up with one arm and hurried over to the garage.
Elliot wanted to run after his father and make her feel better, but he figured that doing that would only make Layla cry even more.
He walked dejectedly out of the front yard.
