Mike said, "That's perfectly fine. With your brother's good looks, I’m sure there will be girls who will pursue him. Even if he can't find a girlfriend, you can still find a boyfriend."
Layla was silenced.
Hayden put down the knife and fork with a sullen face. "Boring."
After Hayden left the table, Avery followed, having completed her meal.
Due to jet lag, she wasn’t feeling too well.
She tidied up her bedroom and then lay on the bed.
She turned on her phone, intending to text Tammy Lynch that she was back.
However, dozens of messages from Elliot Foster greeted her instead.
She froze for a moment, before opening up the messaging box.
Everything he had sent was Layla's pictures in Dream City earlier in the day.
In each photo, Layla's smile was bright and she was full of joy.
After browsing through all the photos, she saved the better ones in her gallery. She exited the messaging app.
She didn't know what to say to him. The time they parted at the airport seemed like it was only yesterday.
She couldn't shut the pain out of her memory.
She phoned Tammy. "Tammy, I'm back." On the other end of the line, Tammy was pleasantly surprised. "You’re home?"
"Yup. 1 made a sudden decision and I hadn't had the chance to let you know."
"Great. I'll meet you tomorrow! By the way, Layla was on the news today. Have you heard?" Tammy sighed. "Elliot paid the price this time! Half-price tickets. I wonder how much revenue he has lost, just to make Layla happy. Guests who bought the half-price tickets today were all thanking Layla online."
Avery hadn't seen the news. Nevertheless, after hearing what Tammy said, she was calm.
