Chapter 1180
When Avery reached the second floor, the first thing she did was enter the master bedroom and open
his wardrobe.
Most of his clothes were still there.
"He wasn’t here to pack his stuff up, Avery,” Mrs. Cooper caught up to Avery and saw her standing in
front of the wardrobe. She then continued, "He brought whatever he came for in a ck bag, and it
didn''t seem like much."
"Makes sense. He can buy his daily necessities anywhere, and it''s not like he needs all this." She
closed the wardrobe door and walked towards his study. "Did he say anything?" "Nothing." "Nothing at
all?" Avery did not believe it.
"Well, not exactly. I told him that you waited for him untiltest night, but he instructed me to take
care of the children and told me not to worry about anything else." Mrs. Cooper said truthfully. "Avery,
the most I can do is take good care of Robert. I won''t be of much help with the other stuff."
"Thank you very much for helping me take care of Robert. Elliot and I will resolve our issues by
ourselves." Avery walked to the door of his study and opened the door.
"I''ll be downstairs then," Mrs. Cooper said, then she excused herself.
Avery pushed open the study door and entered.
The room was as bright as day when she switched on the light.
His desk was clean and tidy and his notebook was still there. There did not seem to be any changes
either in the entire bookshelf wall.
Perhaps the thing that he took away was inside the safe.
She walked to his desk and saw his safe.
She did not remember the password to his safe but he had written it down on a note for her.
If she wanted to open his safe, she could just look for the note.
The note was supposed to be in one of her bag''s pockets, but her feet felt heavy and it was as if she
could not move at all.
She wondered what she was supposed to do if she finally confirmed that he took something from the
safe.
His heart would no longer be at home and she could not stop him if he decided to leave.
She sat down in his chair and could not help but wonder what would happen if she happened to be
home when he came back at noon.
Would there be a heated argument, or would they talk things out :a&=RJT< reconcile as they used to in
their countless past arguments?
She hoped that it was thetter.
Before long, it was dinnertime.
La was sullen, and Avery did not have any appetite.
"Did you have fun at school today, La?" Avery was well aware of why her daughter was unhappy but
there really was nothing she could do about it.
"I did!" La then said resentfully," Mommy, is Daddy working overtime again?
"Yeah. He''s been very busy recently." She did not want her daughter to worry, so she would not
hesitate to tell a white lie if that would ease her daughter''s feelings at that moment.
"Did he tell you that?" La asked further.
"Yeah. He was resting at home the other day because he took leave for the wedding. " She exined
patiently. "He was very busy at work before the wedding, and I''m actually very busy with work too! It''s
only with your Uncle Mike''s help that I came back home earlier."
"Okay then!" La did not doubt what her mother said. "If Daddy''s so busy every day, I''m going to start
to wonder if I even have a Daddy. But tomorrow''s the weekend. Is he going to work overtime tomorrow
too?"
Avery put down the cutlery and her heart felt even more uneasy.
She could tell La a white lie during working days by saying that Elliot had to work overtime, but what
excuse would she have for the weekend?

"Let''s make a video with your brother, La!" Avery changed the subject. "I''ll bring you and Robert to
Bridgedale during your summer vacation."
"Oh." La lowered her eyes as bean-sized teardrops started dripping down.
Avery''s heart became aplete mess when she saw her daughter crying. She got up from the dining
chair and walked up to her, "There, there. Don''t cry. We''re just arguing. It''s not as scary as you think.
