As soon as Mike asked the question, La started crying even harder.
"Can''t you keep that mouth of yours under control?" Avery said.
Mike immediately kept quiet.
"Alright, La, stop crying. It''s not that big a deal," said Avery, consoling her. "Your dad told me that Ruby is carrying a testtube
baby, and she is not carrying his baby. Let''s trust Daddy on this, okay?"
La buried her face into the crook of Mike''s neck and said in a muffled voice, "I don''t trust him! From now on, I''m trusting
anyone but him!"
"Darling, it''s okay if you don''t believe him, but don''t let this get to you. You were happy even without a dad, right?" "That''s
because | had Hayden..."
"Your brother will be back at the end of this year," Avery said. "He''ll be back soon. Even if your older brother isn''t around, you
have Robert!"
"Robert is so little!" La said in displeasure.
"But he loves you just as much as Hayden does! Didn''t you see him crying with you?"
"That''s because | startled him!" said La with wide tear-filled eyes. She pushed her hair out of her face.
Avery studied the gloomy look on her daughter''s face and could not help but chuckle.
"Don''tugh at me, Mom!" La flushed.
"Alright, I''m notughing at you. | understand that you are upset, but | want you to stay strong. It will be best if we are reunited
with your dad, but if we aren''t reunited, life still goes on, right?" said Avery to La.
La nodded. "I''m not crying anymore, Mommy."
"Such a good girl. When you burst out crying just now, the uncles and aunties from the party asked if you were okay. They all
care about you, and we should focus on the people that care for us."
La remained quiet for a few moments, before asking, "Mommy, if Daddy doesn''te home, will you go looking for him
again? Mommy, | don''t want you to leave me again.”
Avery froze.
Noticing the awkwardness, Mike immediately interfered. "La, even if your mom goes looking for your dad, your brother and |
will still be with you. Besides, your dad promised your mom that he woulde home; he won''t break his promise. You are
better off focusing on your studies with that little head of yours."
La''s head instantly started hurting at the mention of studying.
Once they brought the children home, Avery said to Mike, "It''s still early, why don''t you go back to the hotel 2d >PKY< have
some fun with the rest of them? | will stay home once | put the kids to sleep.”
"Fine. But you should still contact Elliot to see what''s going on."
Even if Mike had not reminded her of the call, she had nned on contacting Elliot.
Ruby had been far too arrogant when she had answered the call.
After Mike left, Avery gave her daughter a shower while Mrs. Cooper looked after Robert.
"Mommy, | can shower on my own! | should do things on my own!" La said and started removing her clothes.
"Mommy will go out, then?" Avery
knew that La could shower on her

"Don''t go, Mom. Stay here with me." La pulled at her arm and said, "You can check on my homework in here while you wait
for me."
"Okay. | will go get your homework."
Avery went to retrieve La''s homework.
She opened one of the writing practice books.
The title given was ‘My Dad".
La had not asked for Avery''s help, but with the tutor''s help, she had managed to produce a rather lengthy essay.
