“Just eat, will you!”

Fortunately, Layla was quite obedient and basically worked hard to complete the special exercises Avery gave her. Elliot walked to the crib and hesitated for a few seconds before picking Robert up. Avery chided him, “Didn’t you say you had no energy to step out of my courtyard because you’re too hungry?”.
