Layla took Mike's hand and marched forward.Chad saw that the staff in front seemed fearful of the woman. To avoid blowing things up, he took out his phone and called the person in charge of the park.Layla walked up to the haughty woman and exclaimed, "Ma'am! It's not right to cut the queue! You are in the wrong and yet you act so condescendingly. Haven't you learned some manners from school?"Taken aback by Layla's lecture, Mike pursed his lips.The little girl had really improved after enrolling in primary school. Her skill in speaking was discernibly different from when she was three or four.Layla's words silenced the commotion for two seconds.The middle-aged lady glared at Layla and scolded, "You pipsqueak! How dare you lecture me?! Which stinky onion were you grown from?"Keeping her cool demeanor, Layla corrected the lady, "Are you blind? Can't tell the difference between a person and an onion? An onion is green and it's a plant. You haven't even learned the proper way
The park manager looked at Chad's serious expression, took a deep breath, and nodded furiously, indicating that he knew what to do.Miss Harper was taken away swiftly by the manager!While Miss Harper was being taken away, she yelled at the top of her voice, "You pipsqueak! You had better wait for what’s coming! I will be coming for you!"Layla made a silly face with her tongue out in Miss Harper's direction.After Miss Harper’s exit, the site quickly returned to order."Layla, that woman won't step foot here ever again. You don’t have to be angry with her no more, you know!" Chad cheered Layla up."I’m not mad at her! It's her who should be embarrassed here, not me," Layla answered, taking Mike's hand back to the previous position. They went on lining up.The little girl standing in front of Layla gave her the thumbs up. "You are so cool!"Layla gave a proud, bright smile.After sending Miss Harper away, the park manager gave Elliot Foster a call."Sir, your daughter has com
After arriving at the second park attraction, there was still a long line at the gates.Naturally, Layla queued up at the VIP lane.There was no way that Elliot Foster would let his daughter queue.Although the outdoor temperature was relatively cool and comfortable today, it was tiring to line up.He hated queueing!He marched forward, pulled Layla's arm, and said lovingly, "Dear, daddy will take you in directly."Layla frowned. "Are you saying we jump the queue?"Elliot nodded without thinking.Mike was gearing up, having anticipated what would happen next.At this time, Chad walked up to Elliot and reported the little episode that took place an hour ago."I hate queue jumping the most! A bad lady was cutting the queue just now so I drove her away! It wouldn't be fair if I did the same despicable thing myself." Though Layla didn't want to queue, she couldn't do what she hated with her conscience.Even with his daughter's mood, he still couldn't bear to see his daughter suf
Chad nodded: "You know Mr. Foster's temperament. He ain't afraid of Avery finding out."A blissful day had gone by in the blink of an eye.At dusk, Elliot planned to treat everyone to dinner.Layla had enjoyed her time in the park for the day. She had a blast and at the same time, she was starving.That was why she had no objection to Elliot's invitation to dinner.At that moment, Mike's phone beeped.Mike whipped out his phone from his pocket. When he saw the number, he made a 'shush' sign with his index finger. "It's Avery. Everyone, be quiet."He answered the phone as soon as he saw their nods. "Hi, Avery. Were you trying to make a video call with Layla? We're outside now! Once we get home, we'll give you a call back, alright?""I'm back in the state and I'm at home now." Avery's voice was slow and steady, never pushy. "Bring Layla back, will ya?"Mike was stunned at the request. Before he had time to emanate his shock, Avery had hung up."F*ck me!" Mike's face turned red
Elliot was here.Everyone was surprised.Avery hated him and didn't want to see him. That much was clear in her heart.His pride was so strong. Why would he have served himself up on a plate to be humiliated?Elliot pushed open the car door and stepped out of the car.He stood at the gates of the courtyard. He saw Chad striding out of the villa."Sir, let's go back!" Chad opened the courtyard gate and walked to him. Feeling embarrassed, he said, "She doesn't want to see you. I was kicked out too."In fact, it was not as serious as Chad put it.Avery had given him a chance to redeem himself. As long as he managed to get Elliot to go back, she wouldn't hold him accountable for taking Layla to Dream City today.The reason why he ramped up the seriousness of the matter was for Elliot to leave quickly."She hasn't been blaming Layla, has she?" Elliot was concerned."Nope. After all, Layla is still a kid. Even if she made a mistake, Avery wouldn't blame her. You don't have to worr
Mike said, "That's perfectly fine. With your brother's good looks, I'm sure there will be girls who will pursue him. Even if he can't find a girlfriend, you can still find a boyfriend."Layla was silenced.Hayden put down the knife and fork with a sullen face. "Boring."After Hayden left the table, Avery followed, having completed her meal.Due to jet lag, she wasn't feeling too well.She tidied up her bedroom and then lay on the bed.She turned on her phone, intending to text Tammy Lynch that she was back.However, dozens of messages from Elliot Foster greeted her instead.She froze for a moment, before opening up the messaging box.Everything he had sent was Layla's pictures in Dream City earlier in the day.In each photo, Layla's smile was bright and she was full of joy.After browsing through all the photos, she saved the better ones in her gallery. She exited the messaging app.She didn't know what to say to him. The time they parted at the airport seemed like it was only yesterda
While passing by a fine dining place, Tammy's eyes were attracted by a luxury car parked outside the restaurant.Tammy had an idea. "Avery, let's splurge on a nice meal!"Avery was looking at her phone when she responded, "Sure thing. Let me treat you."Tammy drove the car near the entrance of the upscale restaurant and stopped the engine. After getting off, she gave the key to the valet.Avery put away her phone and noticed the restaurant. "Oh, this place. I've been here before. The food is really good.""When was it? I haven't had the chance to visit it much! Not only is the price high, but we also have to make a reservation in advance. Otherwise, you won't even get the chance to taste their signature dishes."Avery thought about it, and her face was hiding her feelings. "It was with Elliot.""Oh, no wonder! A person like him would visit all the expensive spots. I guess when the two of you were dating, you have checked in at every single high-end place in town.""Not to that
Avery's head started to hurt. "If you didn't have it in the kitchen, you could have just told me that. Why did you have to go to him about it?""I'm so sorry! I thought that you were very close to Mr. Foster as you came here with him before. Your friend seemed upset, so I..." The manager said.Avery interrupted him. "How much is the dish?""It's been paid for by Mr. Foster," the manager said with a smile, "You can transfer the money back to him if you don't want to accept it. The price of this dish is 58888 dollars.""???" Avery had known that this restaurant was famous for the red lobster and that it was more expensive compared to other restaurants, but she had not expected this to cost so much.Seeing that she was stunned, the manager immediately explained, "This red lobster is different from the rest. It's top tier and we haven't caught a red lobster with such high quality for a really long time now."Avery took a deep breath and waved at him. "I get it."Once the manager lef
