Chapter 1883
“However,” without waiting for Elliot to express her stance, Layla continued, “If my mother really wants to marry Uncle Billy, I am not unacceptable. My mother said that Uncle Billy will be very ill to me and Robert and Hayden. Okay. I really look forward to seeing Uncle Billy, maybe he listens to me more than you.”
Elliot’s anger reached its peak.
Elliot: “Layla, do you really want to recognize that man as your stepdad?”
Elliot voice trembled faintly. Layla felt her father’s anger, but she decided to bite the bullet and finish what she wanted to say.
Layla: “As long as my mother is happy, of course I can recognize that man as a stepfather.”
Elliot felt very sad when he got the answer from his daughter.
He got up from the sofa and walked upstairs.
Layla watched her dad go upstairs without saying a word, and her heart skipped a beat.
–Will Dad be mad at himself?
Thinking of this, she ran anxiously to find Mrs. Cooper.
“I made Dad angry just now.” Layla puffed out her cheeks as she looked at Robert who was already asleep on the bed.
Mrs. Cooper pulled Layla out of the room.
“I heard something. It was said that your mother found a new boyfriend.” Mrs. Cooper sighed, “Is it true?”
Layla lowered her head, thought for a few seconds, and said, “If my mother really found a new boyfriend, what do you think my father will do?”
Mrs. Cooper shook her head: “I don’t know. It depends on what kind of boyfriend your mother is looking for. If it is a good person, your father may not interfere. If it is not a good person, you Dad shouldn’t watch your mother be dragged down by bad men.”
Layla: “My mother’s boyfriend must be a good man!”
“Oh, I don’t know what your father will do. But what is certain is that your father will be very sad.” Mrs. Cooper couldn’t help feeling sad for Elliot, “After he knew your mother, for so many years, he has never been right Other women have been moved. Even after you divorced your mother, he has always kept himself clean… Layla, when you grow up, you will understand how rare a man like your father is.”
After listening Mrs. Cooper’s words, Layla became more and more guilty.
“I want my dad to go and get my mom back. But I’m too embarrassed to say it outright… so I’m mad at him. I complimented my mom’s boyfriend.” Layla said.
Mrs. Cooper patted her on the shoulder: “Everyone doesn’t want to be angry. Think about it, if you were your father, what would you do? Your father did his best to you and Robert, and couldn’t find fault. If you want them to be reconciled, it’s better to say good things about your father in front of your mother more often.”
“If I said a few words, they wouldn’t get divorced.” Layla sighed, “I still I went back to my room to take a shower.”
Layla said she went back to her room to take a shower, but after she went upstairs, she walked directly to her father’s study.
She can’t worry about her father.
What if Dad hides in the study and weeps?
A quarter of an hour later, Layla took her summer homework and pushed open the door of her father’s study without knocking on the door.
In the study, Elliot was caught off guard and panicked.
He didn’t hear his daughter’s footsteps.
The door was opened like this, and there was no time to wipe the tears in his eyes!
Layla quickly walked to Dad, staring at the tears in Dad’s eyes, her heart was touched, and her small mouth was suddenly deflated.
Elliot: “Layla, I…”
“Dad, I’m sorry.” Layla took some toilet paper from the cardboard box on the table and handed it to Dad, “I was mad at you just now.”
