At this moment, the phone on his desk rang.
He walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and glanced at the caller ID—
It was Norah Jones’s call.
Norah Jones ran in Aryadelle and Bridgedale these days.
In order to destroy Averie’s AN technology, she worked very hard.
If Elyette really had a deep hatred with Averie, he would definitely praise Norah Jones.
He stared coldly at the name on the screen, hesitated for a few seconds, and then answered the phone.
“Mr. Foster, preparations for the new company in Bridgedale have been completed. It is expected to start construction in a week. Can you come to the ribbon-cutting event at that time?” Norah Jones asked.
Elyette frowned. He doesn’t want to go to Bridgedale again in a short time.
It should be said that if there is no reason to go, he never wants to go to Bridgedale again.
“Mr. Foster, we have invited many politicians and business friends from Bridgedale to participate in the ribbon-cutting event. If you can come…” Norah Jones said.
Elyette interrupted her: “You call Ben Schaffer and ask him to come if he has no time.”
After speaking, Elyette hung up the phone.
Norah Jones did not expect that he would not care about the opening of the new company at all. She worked so hard, she thought Elyette saw it all.
Elyette put the phone on the desk, then went downstairs to find his daughter.
Layla was sitting on the sofa in the living room, with Mrs. Cooper and Robert surrounding her.
Mrs. Cooper coaxed and persuaded her, while Robert took her favorite snack and handed it to her sister, hoping to comfort her.
“Layla, your dad must love you very much. If he says bad things to you, it’s because he wants you to be better. You are still young and don’t understand what I’m saying. When you grow up , you will definitely understand his painstaking efforts.” Mrs. Cooper still had a bit of weight in her words in front of Layla.
Layla knew very well that her father was obedient to her. She was just angry that her father had torn apart her originally complete home.
“Sister, I’ll give you something to eat!” Robert’s bright and clean eyes were filled with care and love for her sister.
“I won’t eat it!” Layla pushed away the snacks that her brother handed over, “I miss my mother.”
“Then you can make a video call for her!” Mrs. Cooper coaxed, “Didn’t you say that you will be able to wait until your winter vacation is over? Have you gone to see your mom? Winter break is coming soon.”
Layla took a breath, reached out and rubbed her eyes: “It’s night over mom’s side. I can’t make mom sleep.”
“Oh, too. You can wait for the night. Make a video call for her again.” Mrs. Cooper asked in a relaxed tone, “Is your mother okay?”
“Of course my mother is okay! She is getting better and more beautiful without her father being angry with her!” Seeing Elyette coming downstairs, Layla said that on purpose to anger him.
Mrs. Cooper also saw Elyette, so she changed the subject: “Layla, your brother has a handicraft class, teach him how to do it! I’m clumsy, I’m afraid I’m not good enough.”
“Oh! Brother, let’s go. Layla got up from the sofa, took her brother’s little hand, and left the living room.
The siblings have a very good relationship.
Layla pinned her thoughts on her mother and brother on Robert.
In the past, when Averie and Hayden were still around, Layla would occasionally bully Robert, but now Layla not only does not bully Robert, but also worries that her younger brother will be bullied in kindergarten.
After the siblings left the living room, Elyette walked up to Mrs. Cooper.
“Did you criticize Layla?” Mrs. Cooper asked in a low voice.
“Do I dare to criticize her?” Elyette sat down on the sofa, “Layla deliberately got low grades and threatened me.”
“Ah?” Mrs. Cooper couldn’t believe it, “How could she make fun of her own studies? That’s not good! “
Mrs. Cooper was very worried, afraid that Layla would go astray.
During the lunch break, Elyette and the two children went back to their rooms to sleep.
Mrs. Cooper took her mobile phone and decided to send a message to Averie.
Elyette definitely couldn’t control Layla, and Mrs. Cooper couldn’t let Layla make such a mistake.
….
Bridgedale.
The sun was rising. It was early morning.
Averie got up, walked to the bed, and opened the curtains.
The bright sun outside the window made her feel better.
She couldn’t help opening the window, and a biting chill came in.
The good mood brought by the extra sunshine disappeared instantly.
She closed the window, walked to the bed, picked up her phone, and checked the time.
Mrs. Cooper’s text message immediately came into view:–
——Averie, I wonder how you are doing lately? Layla says you’re fine, I hope it’s true. Layla had a fight with Mr. foster today. Layla misses you so much that she deliberately gave a low score on the exam, hoping to threaten Mr. Foster to get you back, or to get him to agree to let her go to you. As a result, they broke down. Mr. Foster did not criticize her, but Layla cried very sadly. I know you have always valued Layla’s studies, and I hope you can persuade Layla in private. Also don’t tell her, I’m telling you this.
After reading this long text message carefully, Averie felt as if her heart was burning with anxiety.
Her sanity has been thrown into the clouds, and now she just wants to go back to Aryadelle immediately, meet her daughter, and have a good talk.
She was the last thing she wanted to see her child suffer so much from her failed marriage with Elyette.
She pressed the back button, opened the address book, found Elyette’s number, and dialed it without hesitation.
——Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable.
Her heart sank suddenly and kept sinking.
A thought rose in her heart: Elyette blocked her.
She put down her phone and strode towards the bathroom. She turned on the faucet and washed her face with water. She looked at her pale, bloodless face in the mirror, her breathing gradually steady. If she can’t get through to Elyette, she can call Layla. Thinking of this, she took a towel to dry the water droplets on her face, and strode out of the bathroom.
She picked up her phone from the bed, found Layla’s number, and dialed the video call.
After a while, Layla took the video call.
Averie saw her daughter’s face sullen and aggrieved, and her nose suddenly became sore.
Thinking of Mrs. Cooper’s reminder, Averie could only ask knowingly, “Layla, what’s the matter with you? Mom doesn’t see you very happy.”
Layla: “Mom, I miss you.”
Averie: “Baby, mom misses you too.”
“Mom, Why can’t I go to you now?” Layla pursed her lips and said angrily, “If I go to you now, what can he do to me?”
Outside the door, Robert refused to sleep, so he ran to his sister Play.
The little guy pushed open the door, got into Layla’s room, and shouted in a clear and clear voice, “Sister!”
“Brother, look who this is?” Layla’s expression relaxed a little when she saw Robert coming.
She squatted down, picked up her brother, and turned the camera on her and Robert’s face.
Robert’s dark and bright eyes stared at Averie on the screen.
He knew it was his mother, but he was a little shy because he hadn’t been in contact with his mother for too long.
He refused to call his mother, and he didn’t dare to look at Averie’s face.
“Brother, call her mom!” Layla turned her brother’s face toward the camera.
“…Mom.” Robert was shy and sounded like a mosquito.
“Brother, speak up!” Layla asked, frowning.
Robert’s brows were slightly wrinkled, his face flushed red, and he opened his throat: “—Mom!”
