The melody suddenly floated around Elyette’s ears.
——Separation seems to be yesterday, my world is dark. In a desolate city, the wind is wrapping my body, I seem to be blind and blind, and I am boundless, you take everything from me, and you laugh at me for not being free and easy… I seem to be blind and blind, The wind dried my tears, I have forgotten the pain you gave me.
Elyette listened to the absurd and uninhibited lyrics and endured to the limit.
He grabbed his daughter’s cell phone and paused the song and said, “Layla, this kind of song is not suitable for children of your age.”
Layla blinked innocently: “Dad, I played it for you. Uncle Eric said this song was written for you.”
Elyette looked at the smile on his daughter’s face, as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart.
The daughter knew that this song was written for him, which made his heart block, and she took the initiative to play it to him.
Really his good daughter!
“Layla, you left the summer camp, so what’s your plan next?” Elyette changed the subject.
Layla: “I want to play with Uncle Eric. He said that he can take me to the event next time.”
“If he participates in the event, you go with me, what is this? Even if you want to be a big star in the future, Dad wants you to It’s his own strength, not his popularity.” Elyette taught his daughter hard.
Layla is being preached and is not happy.
“I went to play with Uncle Eric, but I didn’t want to do anything.” Seeing Elyette frowning, Layla didn’t seem to want herself to be with Eric, so she pouted.
“When my mother still lived here, I could go and play with Uncle Eric every year during the long vacation!” Layla said here, her aggrieved eyes reddened.
Suddenly, there was a cry in the room on the first floor.
Robert woke up.
Robert started to attend early morning classes this summer. He came back from school at four o’clock in the afternoon.
Probably because Robert was tired from playing in the early childhood class during the day, he fell asleep when he got home.
If Averie was at home, Robert would never be allowed to sleep at this point in the afternoon, because if he fell asleep at this point, he would not be able to fall asleep at night. This would be messy.
Now that Averie is not at home, Mrs. Cooper is soft-hearted towards the child.
Mrs. Cooper heard Robert’s cry and immediately ran out of the kitchen to hug Robert.
Elyette looked at Layla’s little face with tears in her eyes, and his heart softened.
“Layla, it’s not that Dad doesn’t agree to let you go to Eric’s place. You will be entering the third grade in the second half of the year. Dad has read the textbook for the third grade, and the difficulty has increased a lot. If you also want to take the first place in the second half of the year, Then you can use the next vacation to review your third grade homework in advance.”
Elyette crouched down and coaxed his daughter softly.
Layla listened to his words, and her small mouth gradually relaxed.
“If I take the first place in the second half of the year, then you will let me see my mother, okay?” Layla made her request.
The expression on Elyette’s face suddenly covered a layer of frost: “Layla, you are the first in the test, it is for yourself, not for others.”
“You mean, I will never see my mother in the future?” Layla frowned.
“Dad doesn’t mean that. If your mother wants to see you, she will naturally come back to you.” Elyette held her slender arms with both hands, “Layla, wait for your mother to come to you, okay?”
Something has caused her to be very rebellious to him recently.
Basically whatever Elyette said, she wanted to confront him. In fact, every time she saw his embarrassed and sad expression, she felt uncomfortable.
Every time she calmed down, she would reflect on herself. Her father was almost obedient to her, and Elyette was very patient and loving towards her.
Whenever her attitude towards her father improved a little, as long as she made a video call with Hayden, she would forget about her father’s goodness and stand up barbs all over again.
In such repeated emotions, jumping around, she felt that her spirit was about to split.
“Sister, have a meal!” After being coaxed, Robert stepped quickly to her sister’s side and held her hand.
Layla quickly adjusted her mood and walked towards the dining room, holding Robert’s hand.
Bridgedale.
After Gwen finished her day’s work, she returned to her residence.
Taking off her high heels and putting on slippers, she tied up her long hair as she walked towards the bathroom.
She took over an auto show event today and put on heavy painted makeup on her face. She doesn’t know if she’s allergic to paint, but her face is a little itchy.
After removing her makeup, her face turned red. She put on a mask and walked to the sofa to sit down.
She picked up the phone, turned it on, and saw the message from Ben Schaffer: [Call me after get off work, I have something to ask you.]
She lazily dialed his number, and Ben answered in seconds.
“You got off work so early today?” Ben Schaffer’s voice came.
“You think I’m a machine! I got up at six o’clock this morning. If I don’t get off work earlier, I’ll be dead outside.” Gwen cut to the chase, “What do you want to ask me?”
“Why didn’t you tell me about Averie’s blindness? If it wasn’t for Chad going to Bridgedale this time, I would never have known about it.”
Gwen jumped up and stood up from the sofa. The mask on his face fell to the ground with a ‘click’.
“Averie is blind!”
Ben Schaffer was on the phone and took a deep breath: “After Averie went to Bridgedale, you haven’t met her?”
“No! I told you that I’m very busy, you think I’m lying to you?” Gwen picked up the mask on the ground, threw it into the trash can, and quickly walked towards the bathroom, “How could Averie be blind? What’s going on? I wanted to find her before, but Hayden asked me to work hard, so I didn’t go.”
“It’s very late on your side, see if you’re free tomorrow, go and see for yourself.” Ben Schaffer said.
Gwen: “I’ll call Mike now and ask.”
Ben: “Well.”
“Does my second brother know about this? Averie is blind, why did he divorce Averie? By the way, when did Averie become blind? Before or after their divorce?” Gwen was a little dizzy.
“It should be after the divorce. When they divorced, they met. Averie was fine at the time.” Ben Schaffer speculated here and paused, “No, she found out that there was a problem with her eyes before the divorce.”
“I’ll call Mike to ask.” Gwen hung up the phone, found Mike’s number anxiously, and dialed it.
Mike answered the phone quickly.
“Mike, Ben Schaffer told me that Averie is blind, why didn’t you tell me? I haven’t seen Averie for so long, I thought she is all right! I want to see her now.” She said anxiously .
Mike replied, “She’s already asleep, don’t come here. Shouldn’t Ben Schaffer know about it today?”
Gwen sighed, “Yes! He said that Chad told him. He blamed me for not telling him, but You hide it from me, I don’t know anything at all. Why didn’t you tell me about such a big thing?”
Mike snorted, “Tell you, can you heal her eyes? Averie doesn’t need mercy now. Elyette is really interesting. He didn’t even say anything.”
Gwen: “My second brother already knew?”
Mike: “Well.”
“My second brother already knew that Averie was blind, but he still divorced Averie. How can my second brother do this?!” Gwen gasped in anger, “I didn’t expect him to be such a sc*mbag who didn’t take responsibility.”
Mike: “If you insist on visiting Averie, don’t mention these things in front of her. It took a long time for her to calm down.”
“Oh… ok. I’ll see her tomorrow. I promise never to mention Elyette. I will never call him brother in the future. I don’t have such a big brother!” Gwen gritted her teeth angrily.
Mike sneered: “He did disgusting things, but it’s not just this. I didn’t dare to tell Averie, I was afraid Averie couldn’t take it.”
Mike told Gwen that Elyette planned to use Tate Industries to deal with Averie’s AN technology in Bridgedale.
Gwen was so angry that she had a heart attack. Because she was so angry and she couldn’t do anything to Elyette, she turned her anger on Ben Schaffer.
Ben Schaffer and Elyette were on the same boat. She hung up Mike’s phone and put Ben Schaffer on the blacklist.
……
Mike finished talking on the phone, his mouth was dry, so he went to find a water glass to get some water.
In the master bedroom, Averie didn’t fall asleep. She had to lie down for a long time every night to fall asleep.
It’s easier to fall asleep during the day, and at night, bits and pieces of the past always come to mind.
