Chapter 2672
Robert hung up and immediately informed Avery about what she told him, in an attempt to blame her ire on her period. He insinuated that Layla would not have been as mad as him as he teased her all the time.Avery frowned at her son's words and thought to herself, "She has just moved out and now she's on her period with no one to look after her!'She turned to discuss with Elliot, who immediately said, "Get the cook to make something Layla likes, and we will deliver dinner to her later.""I was thinking the same thing. She probably needs something hot," she said before getting the servants to cook some of Layla's favorite dishes.Meanwhile, Layla glanced through all the sanitary products Eric had bought.Not only had he bought everything that she had asked for, but he had also doubled the amount. "I bought painkillers, and the doctor said that you can take them if it gets too painful." Eric took out the painkillers and asked, "Do you want one now?"Layla shook her head. "It's no

Inside the master bathroom, Eric spotted the underwear that Layla tossed into the trash can and noticed that she had not done the same to her pajamas, which were stained in blood as well.After washing her pajamas by hand as well, he took the trash outside.Layla lying on her bed was with her phone when she saw him walking out. She blurted out, "Eric, do you have a servant? Why don't you just get your servant to look after me? You should go home!"Though she was moved that Eric was willingly working as her servant, she did not want him to do chores, especially not with those beautiful hands of his that felt softer than hers."I don't have one," he said. "If you want to hire a servant, I can get one for you now."She considered it for a few moments before saying, "It's fine! I will get better soon anyways, and I swear I'll watch what I eat from now on.""Okay. Stay in bed. I will cook once I'm done with hanging the clothes," Eric said as he considered the possibility of adding mea

"Mom! I can hire a cleaner for that! You don't have to do it." Layla dragged Avery back to the couch. "Have you two eaten? We can eat together if you haven't!""We've already eaten." Avery finally noticed that Layla seemed to have lost weight. "Layla, have you gotten thinner? Why do you look so weak?"Elliot turned to study Layla's face and immediately started to worry as well. "Have you been eating properly? How are you sleeping?" He asked.Panicking, Layla felt extremely guilty when she saw the worried looks on her parents' faces."I... I'm just on my period and... I don't have much of an appetite." She hesitated for a few moments and decided to downplay the situation as she had mostly recovered."Why don't you come home for a few days? You can't cook for yourself in this state? You can just order delivery!" Avery said as she helped Layla out of the apron.Layla had never set foot into the kitchen, and Avery's heart ached at the thought that Layla had to cook for herself despit

"Dad!" Layla ran into the guest bedroom and found him standing in front of the bed with a scowl."What's wrong?" He had only gone into the room out of curiosity and noticed that there was a mattress inside the room with traces of someone having slept on it."Dad, this is... the room Amy was using and her personal belongings are still in here... There's nothing to look at," Layla said and scanned the room. To her bewilderment, Eric was nowhere to be found."Where is he hiding?" she thought. "It's a good thing that he hid, though. If Dad finds him, we will both be dead!""Aren't you two friends? Why didn't she stay to take care of you when you are this weak?" Elliot asked."She wanted to, but I sent her home. I feel drowsy and don't really want to interact with anyone. Dad, you don't know what it feels like to have your period. You can ask Mom about it," Layla said before walking back to the kitchen."You don't want to interact with people but have enough strength to cook?""I was

Layla burst out laughing. "Eric, I didn't expect you to hide in the closet. Hahaha! You probably haven't been so embarrassed in your whole life, have you?"Eric blushed. "Yeah.""Are you that scared of my parents?" Layla sat down on the bed, laughing.It was fortunate that the closet happened to be empty and was not too crammed for Eric to hide in."I just don't want any trouble. You are still ill, and you won't tell your family about it. What am I supposed to say if they see me?" Eric stood in front of her and stared at her. "Have you eaten?""Yeah. My parents brought me dinner. There's still a lot of food, and it's still warm. You should eat something, too." Layla stood up and teased, "Eric, you don't act your age... I've never seen a person your age acting like this.""I guess I've been spoiling you. I should have secretly spoken to your mom the moment I found out you were sick. Your mom only needs to find an excuse to come here and she will be able to expose you without betra

Eric watched as the bedroom door closed and massaged the bridge of his nose....Meanwhile, in Edelweiss, Mike, Chad, and Ivy finished their breakfast and checked out from their rooms.Since they had already seen the auroras, it was not necessary for them to remain in this town, so they planned to head to the capital of Edelweiss.Mike had promised Ivy that he would take her to the capital after she had seen the auroras. Avery had mentioned that Ivy had been living in poverty for the past eighteen years, so it would be best to take her somewhere beautiful.The university that Lucas was studying at was situated in the capital as well so Mike intended to stay in a hotel nearby before taking Ivy to the university in the afternoon.The university he found was an ivy league school with extremely high tuition that ordinary families could not dream of affording.For someone who was able to afford that and not look down on Ivy, Mike knew that Ivy's friend had to be a good person, but si

"Will we be allowed inside?" Ivy asked sheepishly.Mike smiled. "Technically speaking, the school is not open to tourists, but we just need to register as guests.""Oh... Uncle Mike, do you know someone there?""No." Mike's social circle was limited to Aryadelle and Bridgedale. "But the guard doesn't know that. Just keep quiet and follow my lead. I promise that we will get in."Ivy trusted Mike when she saw the confident look on his face.Feeling slightly shy, he asked, "Aren't you worried that I'm lying?""Of course, not. I just think you are really talented, in a different way than Dad and Hayden," she said."Are there different types of talents?" he asked before coming to a realization. "You are saying that I'm streetsmart, aren't you?"Ivy chuckled. "Not really. It's not like we are doing something bad.""You are right, actually. I'm not like your dad, and I like learning weird skills...""I think it's interesting," she said earnestly. "As long as you are not doing someth

The two took a leisurely stroll down the trail, and Mike stopped after twenty minutes."Ivy, look." He pointed to a tree that looked strong but not overly tall with countless cards hanging on it."Hahaha! I guess religion knows no bounds." Mike took Ivy to the tree and found a booth that stood a little distance away from the tree. The booth had a plate that read, 'The Wishing Booth' and another plate that read 'The Wishing Tree' by the tree.People seemed to have written their wishes on cards and hung them on the three. He walked over and glanced through some of the cards. "Um... 'Pass my exam'... 'Get my dream guy'... 'Slim down!', 'Get rich'!' He chuckled after reading a few cards aloud. "Do you want to write your own? Maybe it will come true.""I don't think I have any wishes. I feel like I'm the happiest person on earth, and it would be greedy of me to make any more wishes." She considered it in all seriousness and realized that she did not have any wish.She wanted to go wher
