Chapter 1124
Avery shook her head without thinking twice. “I just can’t stay any longer in Roburg.”
“Why?” Elliot asked.
“That day, you told me you saw Wesley. After that, every time I close my eyes, I would dream about Wesley and Shea.”
At that, she said bitterly, “The honeymoon should be a happy one, but every time I wake up from my dreams, I feel extremely sad.”
Elliot hugged her in his arms and consoled her gently, “You should have told me about it.” “Telling you about it would only make you feel sad with me,” Avery said hoarsely, “Elliot, come with me to Bridgedale to see Hayden after this! I’m a bit tired these few days.” “Okay,” Elliot agreed. “Call Hayden later and explain it to him.”
“Hmm.”
She took out the things that she bought with Tammy that afternoon out of the bag. There were clothes for her children and some snacks. Layla glanced at the new clothes. She pulled Avery along and said excitedly, “Mommy! I have a surprise for you!”
Avery quickly collected her emotions. “What is it?”
Layla ran over to the coffee table, took a banana, and walked over to Robert, who was still playing with his toy. She lifted Robert so that he was standing up on the mat.
“Robert, do you see the banana? Do you want to have some?” Layla made sure Robert was standing up properly before retreating a few steps backward. “Come over here! I have a banana for you!”
Avery instantly understood what Layla’s surprise was.
Has Robert already learned how to walk?
Robert looked at the banana in Layla’s hand fixedly, his huge eyes not even blinking. He clenched his little fists, then he reached his hands out and walked over to Layla with a serious expression.
He was still young, so he fumbled. Every step he took, his body swayed. It worried Avery. “Don’t worry. Even if he falls, it wouldn’t hurt,” Elliot said, “He walked to the fruit bowl himself this afternoon.
He wanted to eat the banana.” “Hahaha! What a greedy boy.” Robert tripped and fell. However, the floor was carpeted, so it did not hurt him too much. Avery looked at her son’s aggrieved expression. She wanted to go pick him up in her arms, but Elliot stopped her. “Robert, get up!” Layla dangled the banana in front of him, tempting him. She said loudly,” Come on, get up! If you get up, I’ll let you have the banana!”
Robert had a pained expression. He wanted to get up, but he tried many times to no avail. He thought for a while before looking over at his parents. His complaining gaze seemed to be saying, “What are you two stFURgJ=JKing there for? Come help me up!”
“Babe, try to get up by holding on to the chair next to you. Don’t be afraid! Try it! If you get up, Layla will let you have the banana!” Avery encouraged gently. Robert made some noises before grabbing onto the chair next to him and standing up with difficulty! Avery let out a sigh of relief. She has not seen Robert for a week. How he has grown!
The next second, Robert trotted over to Layla and hugged her tightly. “Layla!” Robert looked up. He wanted the banana. Layla immediately picked Robert up. “Mommy, don’t you think Robert is amazing!” “He is! It’s because you are amazing, so he is amazing too.” Layla would usually play with Robert once she returned from school. Not long after Robert knew how to say Mommy, he also knew how to call her Layla. Layla carried Robert and sat down on the sofa before peeling the banana and sharing half with him.
Avery was extremely moved by the heartwarming scene. She took out her phone and made a video call to Hayden. He picked it up a moment later.
