Chapter 1040

Avery was just about to ask Layla who told her that when Eric arrived.

“Mommy, Uncle Eric is here!” Layla said and ran to the courtyard.

“Layla, watch out!” Avery chased after her.

Outside the courtyard, a car came to a stop.

Eric came out of the car.

“Avery, I’m taking Layla.

When she has had enough fun, I’ll send her back.” Eric walked over to Avery and looked at her tenderly.

“You’re always helping with the children every holiday,” Avery said, “Is this really alright for you?”

“If Layla is not with me, I’ll be even more bored.” Eric held Layla’s hand.

“We’ll make a move. We’ll call you once we have reached.”

“Okay, have a safe journey.”

After Avery sent Layla off, the entire villa was truly empty.

The children were not at home, so Avery got the other servants to take off too.

At that moment, there was only a bodyguard at home, ensuring her safety.

Avery headed to the kitchen to clean the dishes and utensils they used that morning.

Then, she went to the storage room to look edfor the vacuum and started cleaning.



She fetched a pail of water and a cloth from the washroom.

She intended to wipe the house down.

Elliot did not contact her.

She did not know when he was coming to look zafor her.

Just when she was thinking about him, her phone suddenly rang.

She immediately placed the pail of water down and went to the living area.

She picked her phone up and accepted the call.

“Avery, the children have left, right? Let’s go shopping!” On the other end the line, Tammy’s voice came
through.

“Didn’t you say you’ll be spending time with Jun?”

“We’re only going out at night! I want to go shopping during the day,” Tammy said excitedly, “There are
so many events today! Are you 94free?”

“I’m free! Elliot hasn’t come to see me yet.

I’m cleaning the house right now!”

“You’re amazing! Wait for me at home.

I’ll come to pick you up!” Tammy said and hung up

the phone.

Avery looked at herself in pajamas.



She furrowed her brows.

Since Elliot was not coming to look for her, then she should go shopping with Tammy!

She returned to her room and changed into a long dress.

She looked at the weather outside her window before putting on a light cardigan.

After changing into her clothes, she went to her boudoir and started putting on makeup..

After doing all that, she picked her phone up and dialed Elliot.

She was not going to be with him during the daytime anymore since he did not ask her out earlier.

If he was not going to take initiative in asking her out, he should just be alone.

Avery dialed and soon the call was picked up.

“Avery, what are you doing? Have the children left?” Elliot’s calm voice came through.

Avery harrumphed.

“Don’t tell me you’re still sleeping.”

“No.

I’m already up.

I’m having breakfast.”

“Oh, then have a good meal.

I’m about to head out with Tammy,” Avery said, “You have fun with yourself during the day!”



“Okay, we will see each other at night.” His lazy voice had a hint of humor in it.

“I’ll send you the address to meet at night later.”

Avery found it strange.

“You have already decided on a place?”

“Hmm.

Go have fun with Tammy.

I’ll see you at night.” He sounded a little more serious.

“Hmm.” Avery never expected that Elliot had already settled on a place for that night that early.
