NovelOnlineLayla said that he made Avery feel aggrieved.
If what Layla said was true, then Avery truly did resent him, despite him not knowing that she had wanted to purchase the set.
She answered the call in a matter of seconds.
"Hello," said Avery in a calm voice.
"A week ago, you cursedto death, was it because | helped Natalie buy the set of jewelry that you wanted?" Elliot asked. " Layla
toldeverything just now."
Avery was stunned. She had already told Layla not to tell him. She had not expected Layla to tell him anyways.
"Yes, are you going to laugh atfor being childish?" Avery retorted.
"I'm sorry," he said after hearing her answer. "I didn't know that you wanted the sset of jewelry. Natalie didn’t tellabout
it."

"Don’t blNatalie. She wasn't there that time. She didn't know that | was the one bidding against her assistant."
Elliot wanted to explain to her that Natalie rarely asked him for help, which was why he helped her that time. However, he felt that
even if he explained it to Avery, Avery would not want to listen to it.
"Layla is very angry, could you cover?" Elliot used Layla as an excuse. "l want to apologize to her, but she gets angry at me
every tshe sees me."
Avery felt a little troubled. She did not want
to go to his place, but at the thought of Layla being angry, she wanted to speak to her, too.
At Elliot's mansion, Mrs. Cooper was trying to talk sense into Layla.
"I know that you like your Daddy a little. If you don't like him at all, you could have gone looking for your Mommy or Hayden, but
you didn't. For the past two years, you have been staying next to your Daddy. You can see clearly what he is like as a person. He
has never gotten together with any other women. Every day, after work, he comes hto spend twith you and Robert. If he
divorced your Mommy because he had an affair, how could he treat you and Robert so well? How is it possible that he has never
found any women for the past two years?"
Layla pouted and lowered her head. She
was fuming inside, not saying anything.
She had yelled Elliot's nout loud a moment ago :a(=ULQ> scolded him, yet he had not said anything. He had admitted to it
tacitly. She was satisfied with his reaction.
If Elliot were to quarrel with her, she would surely run away from home.
"From what | see, the misunderstanding between your Mommy and Daddy has not been resolved. They surely still have each other
in their hearts," Mrs. Cooper continued when she saw that Layla was most likely taking in what she said. "If your Daddy and
Mommy reconciled, you, Robert, and Hayden wouldn't have to be apart. Why don't you try to help them get back together?"
Layla pouted and said, "Mommy doesn't like him anymore. | have asked her before.” "Don't listen to whatever she says. They are
divorced, and your Mommy is such a proud person. How could she admit to still having feelings for your Daddy?" Mrs. Cooper said.
"Your Mommy's eyes when she looks at your Daddy never lies."

About half an hour later, Avery arrived.
Elliot saw Avery's car entering the courtyard, and he immediately went downstairs.
"Mommy!" Layla saw Avery arriving from the living area. She immediately ran out.
Avery pushed the car door open and got out of the car with a cake in her hands.
"Mommy, are you here to celebrate my birthday?" Layla looked at the cake and asked.
"Natalie cover to give you a birthday gift today. Is your Daddy planning to celebrate your birthday?" Avery asked in return.
"He never told me. The moment | chand saw Natalie, | was furious." Layla held Avery's arm and said softly, "I fought with
Daddy."
"Your Daddy calledand toldthat you were very angry."
"Oh... he asked you to cover?" Layla immediately thought about what Mrs.
Cooper said, so she asked, "You cover just because he asked you to?"
