"Leavealone! | 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. | don't know what they are talking about, but they closed the door." Robert pouted. "No one
wants to play with me."
"What about Mrs. Cooper?"
"lI don't want to play with Mrs. Cooper. | want to play with you, with Mom and Dad," he demanded.

"I already told you that I'm not done with my homework. If | play with you, | will fail my exam and | won't be able to go outside to
play," she said impatiently.
Robert couldn't possibly understand why his sister was anxious. "You can stay hand play withif you can't go outside! | love
playing with you, Layla!" He took her hand and begged.
All patience Layla had for her little brother was drained from her at that moment, replaced by anger. "Go away! If | can't go out to
play during my holidays, | won't play with you either! If you keep disturbingfrom finishing my homework, | will beat you!"
Robert instantly burst into tears. He ran out of Layla'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 Layla." Avery pulled the blanket over her body and lied down. "You deal with
him. | want to lay down for a while."
"Wait for me, then. I'll be back right away." He shot her a flirtatious look and Avery immediately felt her cheeks burning at the
hidden message within his eyes.
"Go take care of our son first! Layla 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.

Elliot swallowed hard as he tried his best to appear calm. "Almost done."
"Oh... Why isn't Mom here, then? Why won't she cand seewhen | 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 play withand you all think that I'm noisy!" Robert rubbed his eyes, feeling sorry for himself.
"Alright, don't cry. | will play with you. I'll cplay with you, okay?" Elliot took his son to the playroom to play 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.
