"Leave me alone! I haven''t finished my homework!"


    Robert stood pathetically next to her, not daring to move or speak.


    Seeing how upset he seemed, she patted his head like she was petting a puppy. "I haven''t finished my homework! Go find Mom and Dad!"


    "They went into their room to talk. I don''t know what they are talking about, but they closed the door." Robert pouted. "No one wants to y with me." "What about Mrs. Cooper?"


    "I don''t want to y with Mrs. Cooper. I want to y with you, with Mom and Dad," he demanded.


    "I already told you that I''m not done with my homework. If I y with you, I will fail my exam and I won''t be able to go outside to y," she said impatiently.


    Robert couldn''t possibly understand why his sister was anxious. "You can stay home and y with me if you can''t go outside! I love ying with you, La!" He took her hand and begged.N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    All patience La had for her little brother was drained from her at that moment, reced by anger. "Go away! If I can''t go out to y during my holidays, I won''t y with you either! If you keep disturbing me from finishing my homework, I will beat you!"


    Robert instantly burst into tears. He ran out of La''s room and went to knock on his parent''s door.


    Inside the bedroom, Elliot and Avery had just taken off their clothes and before they could do anything, both jolted in shock when they heard Robert crying outside the door.


    The two flushed with embarrassment and resignation.


    "Why is he crying?" Elliot said as he got out of bed to pick up his clothes.


    "If he''s crying this hard, he must have fought with La." Avery pulled the nket over her body and lied down. "You deal with him. I want toy down for a while." S


    "Wait for me, then. I''ll be back right shot her a flirtatious look


    away." He


    and Avery immediately felt here cheeks burning at the hidden message within his eyes.


    "Go take care of our son first! La can''t do her homework if he''s making so much noises."


    "Sure." Elliot put his trousers on and strode to the door.


    Elliot carried Robert down the stairs and soon, his crying subsided.


    "Dad, what are you and Mom talking about inside the room?" Robert''s eyes were red from the crying, but he had calmed down. "Are you done?"


    Elliot swallowed hard as he tried his best to appear calm. "Almost done."


    "Oh... Why isn''t Mom here, then? Why won''t shee and see me when I was crying?" He asked with a pout, clearly at the brinks of crying again.


    "... She''s gone to see your sister,"


    Elliot lied and said. "Your sister is taking an exam soon so she has a lot of homework to do. Don''t disturb her when she''s studying from now on, okay?"


    "None of you want to y with me and you all think that I''m noisy!" Robert rubbed his eyes, feeling sorry for himself.


    "Alright, don''t cry. I will y with you. I''lle y with you, okay?" Elliot took his son to the yroom to y with toys.


    Back in the master bedroom, Avery waited for a while and when Elliot did not return, she unlocked her phone to check the proposal Melvin had sent her.
