Chapter 946
It was a parcel from overseas. She had received an international parcel before. At that time, she opened it and saw Wesley’s finger.
It was a nightmare that would haunt her for the rest of her life.
She took a deep breath and said to Mrs. Cooper, “You can go ahead and help me open it!” “Okay, I’ll do it outside.” Mrs. Cooper took the parcel and walked out. Layla liked unpacking parcels, so she followed behind Mrs. Cooper to see what was inside. “Let me comb your hair, Layla.” Avery stopped her daughter. “Mrs. Cooper will bring in the parcel’s contents for us to see later.”
“Oh, okay!” Layla came back to Avery and said whimsically, “Mommy, do you think the parcel might be a birthday present for me and Hayden?”
Avery smiled and said, “Then who do you think sent it.”
“I don’t know.” Layla thought for a moment and did not know who it could be. However, she seemed very confident when she said, “I think it is a gift for me and Hayden because it’s our birthday today! Think about it. Why was that parcel delivered today of all days?”
Layla’s ideas were rather cute even though they were a little childish. It was then that Mrs. Cooper came in with the contents of the parcel. “It appears to be a birthday present for Layla and Hayden.”
Mrs. Cooper brought the two greeting cards to Avery.
When Avery took the greeting card and glanced at it, the expression on her face froze immediately.
“Whoa! It’s so beautiful! I knew it was a gift for me and Hayden! This girly card must be for me!” Layla took the card from Avery.
It was a card with a picture of a little girl and a birthdayed cake. The other card featured a little boy and a birthday cake. Although there were no words written on it, the pictures told a thousandze words. It was undoubtedly a birthday card for Hayden and Layla. “Bring me the box.” Avery had guessed who the sender was but she could not be sure if her guess wasf2 right. Mrs. Cooper immediately went out to get the box!
The box was handed over to 4e Avery.
It was sent from a very small country, and a ‘W’ was written on the sender’s column. “It’s Wesley,” Avery4e whispered. Mrs. Cooper felt a pang in her heart. “Really now! Even though he’ll always be linked to that
incident involving Shea, Robert’s already a healthy and adorable boy now and Master Elliot won’t give him a hard time! There’s no reason for him to keep on hiding!” Avery felt a little98 uncomfortable. She always regarded Wesley as her eldest brother before that incident involving Shea. Whenever something sad or happy happened, she felt that she could always tell him about it. After he took the initiative to cut off contact with everyone, she felt as though a part of her life was missing.
Although she was sad, she understood why Wesley behaved that way.
Wesley had a good heart and was always kind to everyone. He must have been particularly distressed when he used Shea’s blood to save Robert, and her death must have caused a permanent scar in his heart. It was so much that he went into hiding and the tragic reality before him had too huge an impact on his emotions.
“Mommy, I remember having an Uncle whom we called Uncle Wesley, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him.” Layla raised her head and asked Avery, “Where is Uncle Wesley?” “Do you remember Aunt Shea?” Avery asked. Layla nodded. “Yeah. Aunt Shea died to save her little brother. I miss her so much…and if she was still around, she’d come to celebrate our birthday today.” Tears welled up in Layla’s eyes and Avery hugged her. A Buik Business had parked outside the courtyard gate. Avery brought Layla out of the room and saw Eric coming in.
Elliot had woken up early back at his mansion. Aside from having his children’s birthday on his mind, he was also preoccupied with that strange person he saw the previous night.
