Chapter 1377
La sighed. "Mommy! Let''s not talk about homework! I''ve already finished everything, but I don''t know
whether it''s correct. No one checks my homework when you''re not at home."
"Didn''t I find a tutor for you? I’ll call herter and ask her to check it for you."
"Oh..." La had been enjoying herself so much for the past two months and homework was thest
thing on her mind.
Avery looked at her daughter''s little face and said, "Do you want to see Daddy, La?
She had caught a glimpse of Elliot staring at her from the corner of her eye.
He must have wanted to see La.
As soon as La heard the word ''Daddy'', she looked as shocked as a frightened kitten and frowned
immediately, "I don''t want to see him! He''s a meanie! The worse meanie! You wouldn''t leave me if it
wasn''t for him, and I wouldn''t be this unhappy!"
Avery did not know how to answer.
"Mommy, why did you ask me if I wanted to see him? Is he just beside you? " La asked suddenly
aftermbasting Elliot earlier.
"Yeah! He''s right across from me!" Avery said and turned the camera to Elliot.
The expression on Elliot''s face stiffened all of a sudden and his body tensed up.
La was just as stunned on the other end of the line, almost as if she stopped thinking for a moment.
"Why don''t the two of you have a little chat? " Avery walked over to Elliot so they could look at La
together. "La, your father misses you and your brothers a lot. He’lle home one day."
Elliot snapped back to his senses and apologized hoarsely, "I let you down, La. I''m not going to ask
for your forgiveness, but please don''t be so angry at me, or else I''ll feel bad."

"Humph!" La snorted loudly, then ran to Mrs. Cooper while holding the phone. "Mrs. Cooper!
Mommy is with Daddy! Is Robert awake?"
Robert was sleeping, but he immediately opened his eyes when La yelled.
Mrs. Cooper took the phone from La and burst into tears when she saw Elliot." Master Elliot! I knew
that Avery would eventually find you! Everything''s fine at home. La''s fine, ?e#?UJX< so is Robert.
Hayden went to Bridgedale together with Lilith... Look at Robert! He''s gotten a little fatter!"
Mrs. Cooper carried Robert up and said to Robert, "Look, Robert! It''s Daddy! Hurry up and call Daddy!"
Robert seemed annoyed after being woken up and immediately pouted. Expecting him to say ''Daddy''
was a bit much, especially when it would have been a good enough oue if he did not cry.
Avery looked at her son’s aggrieved face and coaxed him with a smile. "Don''t cry, Robert! I''ll bring you
a gift when I''m back!"
"Mommy! I want a gift too! You can''t just buy one for Robert and not me!" La squeezed into the
frame and protested. "La... La! Carry!" Robert grabbed La''s arm and wanted to be carried.
"You''ve be so fat, Robert. I can''t hold you anymore!" La sounded disinclined but carried Robert
up eventually.
Robert was almost one year old and had a big appetite. It was not just milk that he drank; he even ate a
lot of junk food.
Avery would control her children''s diet a little if she was home, but since she was not around, Mrs.
Cooper would usually indulge in Robert''s requests for food.
It came as no surprise then that the little boy had fattened up.
Elliot''s heart melted when he looked at the warm picture of those two siblings.
The door to the ward was pushed open and Jed came back with the report.
"Show it to me." Avery left Elliot''s side and went up to Jed to take the checklist.
"Are you on a video call with your kids?" Jed heard the children''s voice.
"Yeah. My daughter called." Avery said with a loving smile.
After going to the balcony, he closed the door that separated the ward and the balcony.
