Her ex-husband had been here looking for her? Was it Elliot? Mike pushed open the door to the mansion and helped Avery inside. He called Chad." Why didn't you tellthat your boss was coming to Bridgedale?" Mike suspected that there was an ulterior motive for Elliot's visit.
Shocked, Chad blurted out, "My boss is in Bridgedale?! | didn't know that! He just said that he needed a few days off. He didn't say anything about going to Bridgedale!" "Crap! What's that old b*st*rd planning on doing now?!" "If he hasn't told anyone about this, it means that this is a personal trip.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that said, he can't have any plans apart from seeing Avery, right?" "He showed up at our door. It's a good thing that we were staying in a resort and haven't been hfor stime." "Damn, you have been at a resort? Why didn't you tell me?" Chad was shocked.
"What if you told your boss about it?" "Do you really have that little faith in me?" Furious, Chad said, "If that’s the case, don't ever callagain!" "Hey! That's not what | meant! | just wanted Avery to rest, so | didn’t mention it to anyone.” "You don't need to explain. | don't want to hear a word!" Chad scratched his head in frustration.
It was four in the morning, and his head was pounding. Mike had woken him up, and Mike's attitude only made his headache worse.
"Alright. Go back to sleep, then!" Noticing his heavy breathing, Mike realized that he had called in the middle of the night and his attitude softened. "By the way, your boss brought something and passed it to the security guard here. | don't know what it is." Mike would not have mentioned the parcel if he had truly wanted Chad to go back to sleep. Chad immediately becinterested in the parcel.
"I'm not hanging up until you tellwhat's in it." Chad switched his phone to speaker mode and brought it into the bathroom with him.
Shortly after, the security guard delivered the folder, and Mike brought it to Avery.
"A folder?" Avery reached out and accepted the folder from him.
Mike shut the door behind him, worried that Elliot might appear.

Mike took the paper and without a cursory glance, he began reading, "Today is the third day since Mommy and Daddy got divorced.
| still can't stop crying. It's all Daddy's fault. He is a bad person. If it were not for him, Mommy would not have left.
Mommy lovesand she wanted to takeand Robert with her, but Daddy would not let her. What should | do now? | want to leave, but Robert is still too small. What will happen to him if | leave? | can't leave with him because he needs someone to carry him. If | take him with me, we won't get too far." After reading the diary, Mike could not help but chuckle. "This has to be a page from Layla’s diary! She can write so many words now. Not bad." Avery could not bring herself to smile as she felt nothing but bitterness from listening to Layla's diary.
"You wantto read the rest? These are all from Layla’s diary. There are a couple of entries!" Mike glanced through all the pages.
Elliot had taken photos of Layla’s diary and printed them out.
"But why did he do it?" Mike wondered. "Is he trying to get Avery to go back and see Layla by showing her Layla's diary? Didn't he forbid Avery from seeing Layla and Robert ever again?"
