"I will only believe what I see and hear." Elliot was unmoved as he listened to her cry.
In the past, he would always compromise with her unconditionally as long as her eyes turned red.
The present situation happened only because he was too soft-hearted and had indulged her countless whims.
He had given up everything, and her plan would no longer succeed.
"What did you see? And what did you hear? " Avery screamed hysterically. "The reality is that whatever you saw or heard was biased! I won't break up with you! Just wait a few more days and I'll give you a proper explanation!" In the past, he might have listened to her and given her a few more days, but at that point, he was in no mood to wait even a few hours, let alone a few days.
"Return to the Aryadelle as soon you’re done with whatever it is you’re doing. Don't forget that your two children are still waiting for you," Elliot said before hanging up.
Avery was disheartened when she heard the beeping sound of the ended call!
It was so cold and painful that she felt as if she ran into an iron board!
Elliot said farewell and left the children with her.
He had forsaken not just his company, but her and the children too.
She stubbornly dialed his number again, only to hear "Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.
The service provider ended the call automatically, and she stared at the screen in a daze.
He had left her without hesitation.
He drifted off into oblivion like a gust of wind or a puff of smoke, but he did so in a very firm manner.
At the airport in Aryadelle, Elliot switched off his phone and glanced behind him.
Bygones were bygones.
Layla put down her schoolbag
Layla froze for a moment. "Is it my mother's fault if it's not my father’s?"
"I don't know what exactly happened between them, but your mother told me in private that she made a mistake. You shouldn't be so cold to your father." Mrs. Cooper was afraid of giving Layla the impression that she was blaming Avery, so she said in a gentle tone, "It doesn't matter if your father or your mother was wrong. They still love you." "Fine!" Layla pouted reluctantly. "Then I won't be so fierce when I see him later."
"That's good, Layla. Go ahead and play with your brother. I'll call your father and ask him if he wants to come back for dinner later.” Mrs. Cooper went to call Elliot immediately after.
Two minutes later, Layla asked, "Is he coming back for dinner tonight?"
Mrs. Cooper shook her head. "He switched off his phone."
"Oh..." Layla was very disappointed. "Then are you able to get through to Mommy?"
Layla was afraid that her mother could not be contacted too.
