Chapter 871 The elite class for young prodigies that Hayden attends at Central University was unlike any other ordinary elementary school. No matter how much money Avery had, she would not be able to enroll Layla there.
Besides, Layla did not want to join an elite class anyway. She could not understand anything that Hayden was learning about, nor did she have any interest in it. When Mike led Layla out of the house and saw Elliot’s car, he immediately froze in his tracks. Elliot’s driver opened up the trunk to the car and brought out Mrs. Cooper’s suitcases.
Mike held Layla’s hand and walked over to check on the situation. “These are Mrs. Cooper’s things. She resigned from her job at the Foster mansion, so Mr. Foster asked me to bring her things here,” said the driver. “Your boss let you use the Rolls-Roice to send luggage over?” Mike’s intuition told him that it was possible that Elliot was in the car.
After a few seconds of awkwardness, the driver explained, “Mr. Foster is in the car. I was driving him out for breakfast.” Mike chuckled coldly, then let go of Layla’s hand, walked over to the car, and tapped on the door to the backseat.
The window rolled down, and Elliot’s cold, handsome face appeared in front of Mike. Mike smirked, then teased, “It’s seven thirty in the morning. Shouldn’t a pampered company president like you still be in bed? What kind of company president wakes up at seven in the morning for breakfast? Did you not have dinner last night?”
Elliot remained silent.
“Give it to me straight. You came over here to have breakfast, didn’t you. There are some pancakes left. If you don’t mind, then…”
Before Mike could finish his sentence, Elliot opened the car door and got out. It was Mike’s turn to be speechlessed now. Was he actually shameless enough to go in and have breakfast? When Layla saw Elliot get out of the car, she immediately frowned. She went behind Mike, grabbed his hand, and dragged himie away. “Get back in the car for now, Foster! Don’t make my sweet Layla cry! Otherwise, she’ll complain to Avery when she calls her tonight!” Mike threatened. Elliot stopped in his94 tracks. He missed the children deeply.
That was why he could not help but come over. He would be happy even if he caught a glimpse of one of the18 children.
Layla hid behind Mike. She refused to see Elliot, and she refused to be seen by him.
She was so happy when she thought that she finally had a father. However, her happiness only lasted for a few days until he turned back into Dirtbagd3 Dad.
She knew that Elliot had his reasons for turning back into a dirtbag, but how could her broken heart possibly recover after only such a short period of time?
“Daddy would like to apologize to you, Layla.” Elliot’s Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat, and his voice was deep and heavy as he said, “It was my fault. Whatever my reasons, I still hurt you, and that puts me in thecb wrong.” Layla’s eyes instantly reddened as she heard his apology. She yanked at Mike’s arm and wanted to quickly leave this place.
Mike immediately picked her up and carried her over to the garage. The moment she was picked up, Layla lowered her head and did not want to be seen by Elliot. A few seconds later, however, she could not help but sneak a peek at Elliot. Elliot was also staring right at her.
When father and daughter met eyes, something snapped inside of Elliot and he called out,” I’m sorry, sweetie! Won’t you give Daddy another chance?!”
At that moment, Mike stopped in his tracks. His phone was ringing in his pocket. He put Layla down, pulled out his phone, and answered the call.
“What?! Robert’s got a fever? Don’t be scared, Avery…”
Elliot heard what Mike was saying from the front gates. Then, he hurried over and snatched the phone out of Mike’s hand!
