Chapter 993

As she listened to Elliot's deep voice, Avery's eyes suddenly began to well up.She did not say anything, but it was as if he could feel it.

"Do you feel like crying, Avery?" he asked hoarsely.

"I'll come see you now! The office isn't important."

"I know.I can't lose her either.She shouldn't eat at the school anymore after this."

"I know.Go and deal with your company.I'll take a nap with Layla.

"Okay."
