Chapter 1022

It was the first time Avery had a face-off with her son. In truth, she had regretted what she said the moment the

words were out.

Though her son was not a three-year-old, he was still a child who was not even ten years old; no matter how old a

child was, they would always long for their mothers’ love and embrace, just like how Avery would still act like a child

to Laura when she was alive.

How could she bring home the frustration she felt because of Nathan and vent it on her children?

Just as she was about to go after Hayden, he had already left the mansion.

Avery went downstairs to find that the entire living room had erupted into chaos. “Layla, don’t cry. I’ve already sent

the bodyguard after him. He’s going to be fine.” Mrs. Cooper held Robert in her arms and consoled Layla.

Avery was completely distraught. While she was contemplating whether to calm her children down at home first, or

to go after Hayden first, Layla came over for a hug. “Mom, did you scold Hayden?”

Avery felt a lump in her throat. “Maybe! I’m in a bit of a bad mood tonight, so I might have been a bit too harsh with

your brother.” “Boohoo… I don’t want Hayden to go! Mom, let’s go find him!” Layla wiped away her tears and tried

to drag Avery outside.

Just as the two were about to go look for Hayden, their bodyguard called Mrs. Cooper.

Mrs. Cooper answered the call and said, “Yes, yes.” Before hanging up. “Avery, the bodyguard told you not to worry.

He is following Hayden so Hayden’s going to be fine. Once he’s had some time to calm down, the bodyguard will

bring him back,” Mrs. Cooper said to Avery. Avery nodded. “I was being too harsh on him.” “Don’t blame yourself,

Avery. Even if you were trying to be strict, just how harsh could you be? Hayden is the one who’s overreacting,”

Mrs. Cooper said with a serious expression, “He probably thinks that his father got him those workbooks to mock

him for his handwriting. The relationship between father and son works differently than that of a mother and

daughter.

Avery felt inspired Elliot probably did not expect for Hayden to react so dramatically when he bought the workbook;

but to Hayden, the action itself felt mostly like a challenge. “Next time, tell Mr. Foster to ask you before picking out

a gift for Hayden to avoid doing the wrong thing with a good intention. It’s the first time I’ve seen Layla DWC3}yFR

Hayden fight like this, my heart just aches for them.” Mrs. Cooper sighed.

“Sure. I will remind him of that.” Avery took Layla to the bathroom to wash her face and the mansion soon returned

to its original peaceful silence. “Mom, you said that you are in a bad mood. Why?” Layla had stopped crying, but

her voice was still hoarse. “It’s just something that happened at work. Don’t worry about it.” Avery forced a smile

and patted Layla on the head. “When Hayden gets angry next time, let’s give him a hug before we lecture him,

okay?” Layla nodded sincerely. “I’ll remember that, Mom.” After dinner, the sky had turned completely dark. Avery

looked up at the pitch-dark sky and decided to go out searching for Hayden. As soon as she stepped out of the

community, she spotted Hayden sitting on a street bench with the bodyguard.

The guilt within her deepened. Even if the bodyguard didn’t follow Hayden, she knew that Hayden wouldn’t wander

off. ‘He’s still so young, where exactly can he go?’ She thought, ‘He’s always been a good child and on this rare

occasion that he lost his temper, why couldn’t I just be more forgiving?’ She strode towards Hayden and admitted

her mistake. “I’m sorry, Hayden. I shouldn’t have lost my temper, neither should I think that it’s a small matter.”

Hayden’s brows furrowed and pursed his lips wordlessly. “The last time I talked to your dad, I mentioned that you

are struggling with your handwriting. He probably paid attention to that and bought you the workbooks. He’s not

mocking you or trying to undermine you, he’s just trying to help you improve; he just didn’t

use the correct way and failed to consider your feelings.” Avery knew that Hayden might not be in the mood to

listen, but she had to say it.

It was the first time Elliot had the chance to be a father, so he was bound to fail in certain ways; so long as his love

for the children was real, Avery would never stop him from trying. Hayden did not respond, and Avery did not

continue to explain.
