The daughter knew this song was written for him, and she took the initiative to play it to him.
She was really a good daughter! "Layla, what's your plan after leaving summer camp?" Elliot changed the subject.
Layla said, "I'm going to go have fun with Uncle Eric. He said he could taketo his next event!" "There's nothing to brag about if you follow him to his events. If you want to be a big star in the future, Dad hopes you will rely on yourself, not his popularity." Elliot taught his daughter a lesson.
Layla was not happy being preached to.
"I'm just going to have fun with Uncle Eric; I'm not doing anything wrong." Seeing Elliot frowning, she noticed her father didn't want her to be with Eric, so she pouted.

Suddenly, there was the sound of crying in a room on the first floor.
Robert had woken up.
Robert had started to attend daycare this summer.
He cback at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Robert fell asleep when he got home, probably because he was tired from playing in daycare.
If Avery was at home, he would never have let Robert go to bed at this point in the afternoon because if he fell asleep at this point, he would not be able to sleep at night.

Now that Avery was not at home, Mrs. Cooper would be inclined to spoil the child.
Mrs. Cooper heard Robert's crying and immediately ran out of the kitchen to hug Robert.

"Layla, it's not that dad doesn't agree to let you go to Eric's place. You will be in the third grade later this year. Dad has read the textbook for the third grade, and the difficulty has increased significantly. If you also want to be first in class in the next academic year, then you can use the next vacation to review your third-grade homework in advance." Elliot crouched down ?b!=VKR; coaxed his daughter softly.
Layla listened to his words, and her tiny mouth gradually relaxed.
"If | rank first in class in the next school year, then you will letsee my mother, okay?" Layla made her request.

"That's not what Dad meant. If your mother wants to see you, she will naturally cback to find you." Elliot held her slender arms with both hands, "Layla, wait for her to cto you, okay?" Layla had been very rebellious towards him lately because of their divorce.
She wanted to retort whenever he said something.
To be frank, whenever she saw his embarrassed and sad expressions, she felt uncomfortable.
Every tshe calmed down, she would reflect on herself. Her father was lovely to her and was very patient and loving towards her brother.
Whenever her attitude towards her father improved a little, once she video called her brother, she would forget how nice her father was all over again.
She felt like she was getting schizophrenia from her emotional rollercoasters.
"Sister, let's go eat!" Robert stepped quickly to his sister's side and held her hand.
Layla quickly adjusted her mood and walked towards the dining room, holding her brother's tiny hand.
