Robert stood outside the door and hugged Avery as soon as she came out."Mommy... Play...""Okay, I'll play with you." Avery was afraid that the child would disturb Elliot's rest, so she decided to bring him outside to play.The weather that day was rather good as the sun was bright and it was comfortably breezy.Autumn was just upon them, so the temperature was not as hot as it was in the summer and the difference between day and night was becoming more and more noticeable.Over at Bridgedale, Ben accompanied Lilith to the modeling agency and did not seem to be in a hurry to leave."Didn't you say you were rushing to catch a plane?" Lilith asked."I didn't say I was rushing. I just said the flight is today—tonight, to be precise. I'll leave after having dinner with you tonight." Ben smiled warmly. "Where's your agent? I'd like to meet her."That turned out to be Ben's true purpose.Lilith had no intention of bringing him to see her agent, but speak of the devil and he shall a

Wesley immediately answered the call after seeing who it was."Do you think the subject of you and Shea is a conversation that we should be having right now?" he asked in a low voice. "Shea hasn't even recovered yet, so why are you getting yourself in a twist?"Wesley could only stay silent when he questioned her.It was not Wesley who wanted to discuss that, but Shea, who held on to the hope that everything could be settled.Wesley would not want to dampen her enthusiasm, but indulging in her would cause others to be under the mistaken impression that he was directing everything behind the scenes."Okay. I'll talk with her once she recovers," Wesley said.Elliot did not hang up because he still had doubts."Can you separate your feelings for Avery and Shea?" he asked, "You pursued Avery before. Why would you like Shea now?""Am I barred from liking other women just because I liked Avery before?" Wesley then gave a straightforward answer. "Avery's not just a beautiful woman. Sh

"I didn't tell you beforehand because you're not going to be alone on stage," the teacher explained with a smile. "The emcee will ask you how you raise your children and you'll be invited to share your views on our school. You may answer however you please."Avery nodded. "Okay."She was no stranger to making small talk during official functions.Layla's dance performance ended half an hour later and the audience burst into applause.Avery was invited onto the stage amidst the raucous applause, and she put on a proud and dignified expression.She had recorded Layla's entire performance on her cell phone earlier and felt that she should have brought a DSLR camera if she knew Layla could dance so well.Avery walked to the stage and took the microphone from the emcee."Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate in our school's activities, Ms. Tate. I wonder if Layla's father is here," the emcee asked with a smile.Laughter ensued following that

The initially calm atmosphere in the living room turned turbulent as soon as he said that.As Elliot sat quietly on the sofa and listened to the conversation, Eric's egotistical and rude remark caught him completely by surprise!He could not believe that Eric would encourage Avery to take two husbands because it was such a blatant show of disrespect!To make things worse, Elliot could sense that Eric was hinting at Avery to take the latter as her second husband.Elliot stood up from the sofa abruptly.He did not even use his crutches because his anger caused him to forget that he was lame.Upon realizing that the situation was turning sour, Avery immediately shoved Eric out of the door. "You and Layla should go."Eric did not want to put her in a tight spot, so he led Layla out the door."Why are you afraid of him? He was the one who betrayed you first. You can always do the same so he can feel how you felt." Eric did not even bother lowering his voice because he wanted Elliot

"Okay. I won't leave you and the children in the future." Elliot's teasing stopped there."Pinky swear!" Avery held out her little finger like a kid.He froze for a moment and did a pinky promise with her."So, my dear hubby, when are we going to get our marriage certificate?" she asked, changing the topic as smoothly as possible."How does Monday sound?""Okay." She did not want to drag it any further.When she was in Ylore, Ruby reminded her more than once that a couple was only legally married if they got a certificate. Weddings meant nothing without it.As a result, Avery was fanatically obsessed with getting the marriage certificate....At the hospital, Jun's mother Hilda had been hospitalized due to her high blood pressure and Jun had been caring for her in the hospital.It was the first time she has asked him to be beside her and take care of her.She had been hospitalized several times before, but she always told him to work hard and not let her condition affect her

Avery opened the bag, glanced at the documents, and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's all here. What do you mean if the sky falls? It's not going to fall.""Why did we wait so long before getting the certificate?" he mumbled a question.Avery was stunned for a moment. "We were planning to get the certificate after the wedding, if only you hadn't gone to Ylore.""That's still a little late though. Hayden and Layla are already eight years old.""Eight and a half, to be exact," she corrected him."You previously refused to get the certificate because you didn't believe in me, isn't that right!?"Avery pondered carefully over that question and said bluntly, "I just think it's a darn pain to go through all these formalities. Marriage and divorce are both equally as troublesome. Having a marriage certificate doesn't really matter if the couple is in a good relationship.""But you asked for it this time."Avery felt embarrassed. "Can you not ruin this moment I'm having?""I just want

"Did you have to give him a fifteen-dollar tip just because the boss said we look like a married couple already?" Avery teased."Today's an important day. Giving a little tip won't hurt, right?""Of course not, but the Civil Registry Office has so many staff. Are you going to give everyone a tip?" She did not care about the money but felt that his behavior was a little exaggerated."I brought some chocolates for everyone." He turned around and glanced at the bodyguard.The bodyguard was carrying a black bag in his hand.Avery had no idea that he prepared chocolates in advance.She walked up to the bodyguard, opened the bag, and saw that it was full of little chocolates inside."That's quite thoughtful of you. Are you going to give out treats to your company employees too?" She walked over to him and took his arm."They got their treats during our wedding.""Oh, I think I remember that. We just did our wedding two months ago but it feels like ages since that happened.""It doe

When Elliot arrived at Starry River Villa, Ben was playing happily with Robert.Elliot was not pleased. "Why is my son being so chummy with you?""I come here all the time to see him! It shouldn’t come as such a big surprise that he's so chummy with me." Ben noticed that he came back alone and so he asked. "Where's Avery? Lilith wanted me to bring her a gift.""She went to see Tammy." Elliot sat down on the sofa. "Did Jun tell you anything?""No. Did the two of them argue again? Is it about the child's name? I think they're putting the cart before the horse. The baby hasn't even come into the world yet! There's still plenty of time to argue once he's born!"Mrs. Cooper came over and carried Robert away.Elliot handed the marriage certificate to Mrs. Cooper. "Put this away in the drawer inside my study."Mrs. Cooper took the marriage certificate and went to the study while carrying Robert.Ben took out the gift Lilith tasked him to bring and handed it to Elliot.
