Chapter 1955


    On the way back, Mike rubbed his palms together. After a moment of hesitation, he said to Avery, "I


    haven''t told La yet, but she has already guessed that something has happened to you. I wanted


    her toe and pick you up together with me, but she refused."


    Avery''s lips quivered, but she could not make a sound.


    Even if they were to hide this from the children, one day, they would surely hear this from someone


    else or see it on the


    news.


    At Elliot''s mansion, Mrs. Cooper had made a feast. She was waiting by the entrance.


    La and Robert were waiting in the living room. They did not y with their toys or eat anything.


    Robert wanted to head to the courtyard, but La held his hand, not letting him go. She was feeling


    terrible and wanted someone to stay with her.


    For the past few days, she had been secretly calling Avery and Elliot but neither of them had


    answered their phones.

    She had asked Mike why she could not get through to them. Mike had been evasive and avoided


    talking about it.


    She was not a three-year-old anymore, nor an idiot. If she could not contact her parents for such a


    long time, it was surely because something had happened to them.


    However, Mike had told her the day before that Avery was returning. Despite being happy, she had


    asked Mike whether Elliot wasing home as well. Mike had told her that he only knew that Avery


    was coining home and he knew nothing about Elliot. He did not tell her that Elliot would not be


    returning.


    He could not tell her that Elliot would not be returning, nor could he tell her the reason why. He was


    afraid that she would not be able to ept the truth.


    A ck sedan appeared by the entrance, and the bodyguard opened the gates.


    The car slowly entered the courtyard.


    "Daddy!" Robert saw a caring and quickly ran to the courtyard.


    Robert thought that Avery and Elliot were returning together, so he was especially happy.


    "Stupid Robert! Daddy is noting back!" La ran out as well.


    The car door opened, and Hayden got out of the car. He made his way to the trunk ?b(> UKP?


    pulled out the wheelchair.


    Mike helped Avery out of the car.


    Robert saw the wheelchair and felt curious. He kept looking at the wheelchair with his huge eyes.


    "Mommy, why are you in a wheelchair?" La walked over to Avery and looked at her face closely.


    "Are you sick again?


    Where is Daddy?"


    Avery had already decided in the car that she was going to tell the children everything.


    "Your Daddy is missing." Avery took a deep breath. The moment she said that her voice broke. "I


    don''t know where he is right now. I don''t know if he is alive or not. La, I''m sorry. I lost your


    Daddy."


    "Avery, how could you say that? This has nothing to do with you." Chad was worried that La


    would misunderstand Avery, and he immediately said, "La, your Mommy and Daddy were led to


    an underground cer by a bad person. They were trapped there without food or water or any


    signal. When Hayden found your Mommy, we realized that your Daddy went missing."


    Tears gushed out when La heard the entire story.
