Elliot hummed in response and returned the phone to Layla.

"Did you have fun today?" "Not really. Sof the children were abandoned because they are ill and sare healthy, but they were still abandoned. It feels horrible," Layla said gloomily. "Daddy, I didn't even know how lucky I have been." "Layla, there are plenty of unlucky people, but also a lot of lucky people. None of that is your fault," said Elliot, consoling her patiently. "If you go further out to more remote areas, you will find more unfortunate children, and they might not even be able to make ends meet." Layla listened to him and felt even more depressed. "Daddy, how can I help them?" "You can make a donation. Your mom and I do that every year. We can't change the fate of everyone, but we can do our best to improve the lives of some." "Okay, Daddy." "Layla, when I travel, I will take you to more places." "Yay! I hope you get better soon!" Avery listened to the two and chuckled. "Honestly, Elliot, you haven't even lived in a remote area before, have you? I know that you make donations to charity every year, but you've never tried living in poverty." Elliot fell silent.

"Don't take your daughter to places you are not familiar with. I'm scared," Avery laughed mercilessly. "You might need your daughter to take care of you instead." Elliot merely stared at her.

"Really?" he thought. "Can't you at least letlook cool in front of the kids?" "Layla, your daddy, his daddy, and his daddy are all rich businessmen. Your daddy grew up rich," Avery said.

Curious, Layla asked, "Mommy, are you talking about the guy who adopted Daddy? I remember that Daddy's real daddy is a bad guy!" "Yeah. Your daddy grew up in the Foster family, so that's the family am referring to. Even though he is not a child of the Foster family, everyone in the family treated him like he was the jewel of the family." "Don't exaggerate everything, Avery. I had a lot of troubles as a child as well," said Elliot, correcting her.

"I'm not talking about you and Shea. I'm talking about living standards. Just look at you right now, do you dare say that you had a troubled childhood?" Elliot was once again rendered speechless.

"Of course, I'm not encouraging people to lead a miserable life. I just don't want you to take my daughter to god-knows-where." "If I take our daughter out, of course, you are going to calong." "We will see what happens when you recover! It's been too long since you went outside, so there is probably a long list of places that you want to go," Avery teased. "When you get better, you are likely going to drown yourself with work." Layla could not help but burst into laughter at the blank expression on Elliot's face. "Mommy, you see right through Daddy." "How can I not? I've known him since way before you were born." Layla's laugh echoed throughout the living room.

At nine, Avery fell asleep.

Elliot had taken a nap at noon and was not tired at all. He stared at Avery's face with resignation, knowing that she had forgotten what she had promised him@arlier that morning. However, seeing how exhausted she was, he did not have the heart to wake her.

He picked up the book on the nightstand and decided to read for a while when the screen on his phone lit up.

He grabbed his phone and saw a message from Ben.

[I heard you've adopted a little girl. Is that true?] [Shea and Wesley adopted her.]
