Chapter 986
Once the call was made, it went through, but there was no answer.
If Ben saw that Elliot was calling, he would definitely pick up the phone.
Elliot was even more certain now that Ben was in trouble!
Just as he was about to leave and look for Ben, he received a text from him.
[I can''t talk right now, Elliot.]
After Elliot saw the text, he immediately sent a reply: [What''s the situation right now? Are you in
danger?]
Ben: [I''m not in danger. Give me a little more time. I''ll be back tomorrow ]
Elliot read the text message, pondered for a
moment, then responded: [Alright.]
Over at the Starry River Vi, La brought over her finished homework for Avery to check.
"Why hasn''t Daddye by today. Mommy?" La asked softly.
"Do you want him toe over?" Avery asked with a smile as she flipped through her daughter''s
homework.
La sighed and said, "Hayden doesn''t like him. I''d be betraying him if I said I liked Daddy."
"How could you think that, La?" Avery turned to her. "Whatever is going on between Hayden and
your father is between them. You can express it freely if you like your father, just don''t do it in front of
your brother. That way, Hayden won''t be upset, and you won''t have to keep your feelings for your
father hidden."
A sweet smile appeared on La''s face. " You''re so smart, Mommy! I''m your daughter, but why am I
not as smart as you?
"Who said you''re not smart? You''re much smarter than I am. I wasn''t as smart as you when I was your
age!"
"I love you so much, Mommy! I don''t want to get married when I grow up! I want to be with you forever."
"Did what your father said yesterday affect you? You''re still young, La. It''s not the time to think about
marriage yet. All you have to do now is be happy and stay healthy. We’ll talk about the futureter."
Avery stroked La''s head. "Your writing is getting better and better. Imend you.
"Hayden said I write well, too. He said he''ll buy me a present as a reward once he gets his prize
money." La''s face was filled with anticipation. "I already know what I''m going to ask for."
"Prize money?" Avery was stunned for a moment. "Did your brother join some kind ofpetition at
school? Why didn''t I hear about it?"
"Not right now! Hayden said it''s in two months. 1 don''t know whatpetition it is, but he said he''ll
definitely win the prize money." At this point, an expression of deep admiration appeared on La''s
face," Hayden''s amazing. I want to marry someone like him when I grow up."
Avery gave her a light tap on the head, then said, "Didn''t you just say that you wanted to be with me
forever? Have you changed your mind already?"
La burst intoughter.
Robert was awakened by the noise.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Hearing theirughter, he let out a silly chuckle as well.
"Robert''s awake!" When La heard Robert, she immediately picked him up from the crib. "I want to
take Robert out to y, Mommy!"
"Let me change his diaper first" Avery put down La''s homework ;a%=TMQ= nned to take Robert
over.
However, La ced Robert on the couch, then volunteered and said, "I''ll change his diaper!
Something as simple as that is nothing to me!"
After La experly changed Robert’s diaper, she ced him into his troller and pushed him out of the
house.
The bodyguard grabbed the baby''s travel bag and followed behind the siblings.
A momentter, La stopped in her tracks.
There was a man who was walking in their direction with arge dog on a leash. The dog had its ck
eyes fixed on Robert.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!" The dog suddenly began to bark.
In a panic, La nned on leaving with Robert.
At that moment, Robert let out an adorably fierce cry from the stroller, "Woof! Woof!:
La pushed the stroller and rushed back home.
"Mommy! Robert spoke!" La told Avery the news in surprise. "Robert spoke just now!"
