Chapter 2917
"If something is wrong with his brain, let him rot," Avery said.
"Okay! Mom, why are you locking yourself in your room? Why don't I get Dad to move out for now after he signs the agreement? This is his mistake, so you shouldn't suffer for it!" Layla wanted Avery to get some fresh air.
"Let's wait until your brothers and sister come home. He needs to explain himself to them," Avery said.
"I know, but Dad doesn't say anything other than the baby isn't his." Layla recalled her conversation with Elliot and said, "By the way, I called Hayden, and he should be back soon."
Avery nodded. "I didn't really want something like this to be known, but since Elliot wants to act shamelessly, I shouldn't have to work to preserve his pride."NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"Yeah. Even if we keep quiet about this, rumors will start to fly." Layla picked up the agreement. "I will go downstairs and get him to sign the agreement. If the baby turns out to be his, we need to make sure tha he doesn't get anything."
At four in the afternoon, Robert hurried home.
Layla had sent him a message saying that something bad had happened, so he immediately rushed home after his classes ended.
Once he changed into his slippers, he glanced into the living room nervously.
Elliot and Layla were sitting on the couch with a strange look on their faces.
"Dad, Layla. I'm home." Robert walked over to them.
Layla tapped the spot next to her and said, "Come here."
"Okay..." He sat down next to Layla obediently. "Where's Mom? What happened?"
Just then, a baby's cry echoed through the air, and Robert stood abruptly from the couch, feeling as though he had been struck by lightning.
"Robert, you heard right. There's another addition to our family," Layla said casually and took a few sips of her water.
"Huh?! What do you mean? Why is there a baby in our house?" Robert could tell that he had heard a baby crying.
"Because our dad has too much love to give, I guess!" Layla said sarcastically. "Congratulations. You have another brother from a different mother." Robert tensed and roared, "I-Sh*t! Layla, are you serious?! I don't believe it! I don't-Different mother... I won't accept this! This is betrayal!"
"Yeah! Good ol' Dad betrayed us and
this family. If our parents get divorced, who are you going to side with Layla prompted Robert to

Robert's face was flushed, and tears filled his eyes. "Why... Why would you do this...?" Robert had never been in such shock, and he felt helpless.

Both his parents loved him, and he had countless precious memories of his father, so the thought that ke might have to give Elliot up filled him with misery.
"Robert, I didn't betray your mother, nor have I betrayed his family. You don't have to make a choice now." Elliot hurried over when he noticed that Robert was sobbing. "Let's wait for the DNA test results. I'm innocent."
Robert instantly burst out crying at Elliot's words, and when Avery heard Robert crying from upstairs, she hurried down.
An hour later, Ivy returned home.
She had also received Layla's message and had decided to skip her last lecture to get home earlier.
As she was changing into her slippers, she saw her parents and siblings sitting in the living room in silence.
