"No." She wiped her daughter's tears with a tissue. "Daddy and | haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet. If we separate, it'll just be a breakup, not a divorce." "How is that any different? Sob sob sob!" Layla’s tears streamed down even more fiercely when she heard that explanation.
"Don't cry, Layla. Listen to me, okay." Avery said softly, "No matter what happens to us, we'll always love you, Hayden, and Robert. I'l always be with all of you, okay?" "I don't like it when you two argue!” Layla roared as a grieving look appeared in her eyes. "But that's what you always do!" Avery didn’t know how to answer, so she was silent.

"Hey, Chad. Where's Elliot? | want to see him," she requested calmly.
"I'm sorry, Avery. | went to look for him today but | could not find him,” Chad said helplessly. "I asked Ben too, but he doesn’t have any idea where Mr. Foster is either." "He cut off all contact with you guys and ignored the company's affairs?" "Yes." Chad frowned. "He's never been like this before." "Is he planning to keep on running away like this?" Avery breathed heavily. "I'm already aware that | made a mistake. I'll cooperate with him if he wants to break up..." "Let's not talk about that for now. Breaking up is easier said than done, you know," Chad said. "Just be patient :h$ "A conclusion?" "Yeah. He's not the kind of person who likes procrastinating. As bad as the problems are between the two of you, he won't drag it on forever," Chad said firmly.
"I hope so." Avery could only hope that the suffering would end soon.
