"Daddy always wantedto study well, but I deliberately made him angry. I never study and always flunk my exams..." Layla's eyes redden. "I initially thought that Daddy would always be with me. No matter how angry I made him, he will never leave me. I regret it so much." "Layla, don't cry. Your Daddy always knew that you loved him. Whether it was you, Robert, or Hayden, he loves you all the same." "I know. He would never get angry at us. I really like Daddy. I used to be afraid that he would find out that I liked him, and I never told him that I liked him. Woo, woo, woo! Mommy, I miss Daddy very much." Layla buried her head in Avery's arms. Tears kept falling.

"Hmm,too. When he returns, I will praise him too." Robert looked at Avery hugging Layla. He pouted. "I want hugs too." Avery immediately reached out her other arm and hugged Robert in her arms.

When they met, Avery took the initiative to greet Leah. "Hello, Miss Kennedy. I am Layla's mother, Avery Tate We have spoken on the phone." Św"Miss Tate, hello. I heard that something has happened in your family—" "Who told you that?" Avery interrupted her.
"I... I heard it from my cousin." "How did you get your cousin to tell you about this?" Avery asked.
Leah was a little intimidated by Avery's sharp gaze. "I told my cousin.
that Layla seemed to be quite unhappy for the past few days, so she toldthat Layla's father is missing..." "Hmm. Was your cousin sad?" Avery asked casually.
