Chapter 987

Avery had just finished checking Layla's homework.

"Really? What did he say?" Avery asked in shock.

The bodyguard next to them could not help but chuckle in secret.

"He said 'Woof! Woof!' and he said it really loudly! Even Uncle Bodyguard heard it!"

Avery turned to the bodyguard, who held back his laughter and said, "Layla's telling the truth.Robert
really did pick a fight with a dog! He was very fierce and even chased the dog away."

Avery was at a loss for words.

Could that be considered talking? It sounded more like he was learning how to bark! Mrs.Cooper was
teaching Robert to say "Mommy" and "Daddy" every day, but he never once said those words.

"Robert! Say it again for Mommy!"

Layla encouraged Robert and said, "Just like this.Woof! Woof!"

It was as if Robert felt like he had been made fun of.

At this moment, he had a stuck-up expression on his face.

His brows were furrowed and his lips did not move at all.

"Woof! Woof!" cried Layla.

Robert was completely unresponsive.



Avery felt slightly dizzy from the noise, so she said, ‘Hayden will be home soon, Layla."

Layla immediately covered her lips.

Hayden would definitely feel annoyed if he heard her barking like a dog.

At 9 p.m.that night, Avery walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower and drying her hair.

When her phone began to ring on the bed, she immediately walked over and answered the call.

"Why are you just answering the phone now, Avery?"

This was Elliot's third time calling.

"I was in the shower."

Avery sat down by the bed.

"Layla said she missed you when you didn't come over today.Are you happy?"

Elliot let out a light chuckle.

"What about Hayden?"

"Hayden's been coming home a little later recently.He's joining a competition in June.It seems like he's
under a lot of pressure, but he seems pretty confident in himself.He's already thinking about using the
prize money to buy Layla a present."

Then, Avery expressed her concern and said, "He'd be very disappointed if he doesn't win."

"Don't worry.I know about it,"

Elliot said, giving her a peace of mind.



"How about I come over to eat tomorrow?"

"Sure.You won't bump into Hayden, anyway."

Then, Avery teased, "I have a feeling you're more afraid of your son now."

"It'd be tough for you Layla to get caught in between if my relationship with Hayden continues to
worsen."

"That's true." Avery lay back in bed.

"By the way, how's the progress on what happened at Villa de Sierra? I had a nightmare last
night.Would whoever was behind it come up with another plan since they failed in Mount Sierra? I'm
worried about you."

"This matter will be resolved soon." Elliot gave her a certain answer.

"You don't have to worry about it." Ben said he would be back by tomorrow.

This meant that Chelsea would be dead by then.

"Oh, it sounds like you already know who's behind it.Who was it? Do I know them?" Avery asked out of
curiosity.

Elliot hesitated for a moment, then revealed Chelsea's name.

Avery instantly fell silent.

"This time, her death is certain," Elliot promised.

At 8 a.m.the next morning, Elliot received a text message from Ben.



[Chelsea Tierney is dead.I plan on heading back after she's buried.I'll be pretty busy today.I'll probably
be back tomorrow.]

Elliot felt relieved when he read the words "Chelsea Tierney is dead".

However, he vaguely felt like something was off.

Ben was not fond of sending text messages.

When they did not meet face-to-face, they would always talk on the phone.

However, it's been an entire day since Ben answered Elliot's call or gave him a call.
