"I don't want you! Go away! You're a horrible dad! I hate you!" Layla exclaimed suddenly.Robert, on the bed next to him, was instantly awakened.Robert was woken up by the screams. His cries were endless and deafening.Mrs. Cooper looked embarrassed and didn't know whether to coax Robert or continue to coax Layla.Elliot said to Mrs. Cooper, "Take Robert away. I'll talk to Layla.""Okay...sir, be patient; Layla is sick now...""I will."After Mrs. Cooper carried the crying Robert away, only Layla's cry was left in the room.Layla cried so hard today that her voice was hoarse.She was ill at the moment, and her face looked flushed. The skin on her face, and her eyes, were also red.Elliot stood in front of the bed and looked at his daughter helplessly: "Layla, I'm sorry. Dad didn't mean to separate you from your mother. Your mother insisted on divorce from me. I have no other choice.""It's all your fault! It's your fault that mom divorced you!" Layla looked at him with tear

After Layla finished her medicine, the doctor prescribed her some medicine to take when she went back home.When they got home, it was 4:40 in the morning.The villa door was open, and the lights in the living room were bright as day.After Mrs. Cooper coaxed Robert to sleep, she waited in the living room.Seeing Elliot come back with Layla in his arms, Mrs. Cooper immediately greeted him."Layla's fever has subsided. I need to wipe her body and change her clothes." Elliot hugged Layla and went back to the room.Mrs. Cooper responded, "Sir, go back to your room to rest! I'll take care of Layla. Otherwise, when Layla wakes up and sees you, she might cry again."Elliot looked at his daughter's pale and haggard sleeping face and murmured in a hoarse voice, "Should I give up Layla's custody?""You love Layla very much, and if Layla lives by your side, you will treat her very well. She's not used to it now; you just need some patience. Though, it will take some time for her to adjus

Layla took his cell phone, turned it on, and saw their exchange."Layla, your mother just refuses to talk to me now, even if I wanted to tell her about you."When Elliot said these words, Layla dialed Avery's number.Unsurprisingly, a system prompt sounded. "Mom doesn't answer your call, but she will definitely answer mine!" Layla returned his mobile phone to him, then found her own and dialed Avery.The same system prompt sounded.Layla burst into tears.Elliot took her into his arms: "Layla, don't cry. Dad will take good care of you and your brother. Dad will work harder to be a good dad."Layla instinctively wanted to push him away, but she knew clearly that she had no one to rely on except her father.So she didn't push him away.The summer vacation had not yet started, but she returned to school after a day off at home to take her mind off the matter.As for Robert, the departure of Avery and Hayden did not have much impact on his life.He was happy as long as someone

She was volunteering to give up 30% of the shares of Tate Industries.Mike was also volunteering to give up 15% of the shares of Tate Industries.Elliot was given permission to do anything to the shares as he pleased.Elliot signed the document immediately."Aren't you going to call her to check the authenticity of the document?" Sean didn't expect Elliot to sign the document that quickly."She's not picking up my calls." Eliot put down his pen. "Was there anything else she wanted you to tell me?"Sean shook his head. "Nothing else.""Did she tell you via a telephone call, or was it Mike who told you?" Elliot looked at Sean. "Ever since I got divorced from her, I have never managed to call her.""She called me," Sean said awkwardly."Apparently she just doesn't want to talk to me. That's understandable. There's no reason to remain in contact since we are already divorced." Elliot laughed. "She's not just quitting from the company, she's also giving up on her kids."Sean was s

She was really angry.She was just a child though, so she didn't stay angry for very long, and she accepted the call."Why are you video calling me?" Layla asked Hayden angrily. "I thought you were trying to ignore me! Why don't you just ignore me for the rest of your life?"Hayden tried to explain to Layla, "I just transferred here, and I'm rather busy. And mom…""What about mom? She doesn't want me, does she? She doesn't accept my phone calls either! I'm so angry at the both of you!" Layla was making quite a commotion, which was heard by Elliot.Elliot was taking Layla and Robert out shopping today.Before the summer holidays, Layla's school organized a party.Elliot had brought Layla out to buy some new clothes and gifts for her friends.Hayden swallowed his words when he saw Elliot appear in the video call."That's not true. I did tell you that I would call you when I had some free time." Hayden didn't want to explain any further. "Go shopping with your dad."Hayden hung
