"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. "Have a look."
By the time Avery came over, Tammy had peeled and eaten at least a pound of pistachios."You shouldn’t eat so much, Tammy. Your body might not feel unwell if you eat too many nuts, but your digestion will be disrupted.""Oh... My mom told me to eat more nuts. She said it would nourish my baby's brain." Tammy wiped her hands with a wet towel."All foods, even nutrient-packed ones, should be eaten in moderation. If you don't, you might have indigestion and it will end up causing the opposite effect," Avery said.Tammy pondered over what Avery said. "Like a relationship between two people. Having too good a relationship isn't a good thing, because then the quarrels would be so much more intense than ordinary people.""How are the two of you now?" Avery asked cautiously."We haven't spoken. Now's the time to calm down. We can talk once the baby is born!" Tammy smiled bitterly. "Who knows, he might even have a new woman and a new child by then.""Jun's not like that.""Better to tru
Avery rubbed her eyebrows before opening her eyes and looked out the window.As the car drove past and the scenery outside began to recede, she could see the tall buildings, flower beds, and the continuous flow of traffic.She wondered if it was because she did not have good rest recently.The last time it happened to her was before her surgery in Ylore.After she was discharged from the hospital, she underwent another checkup and the results confirmed that there were no issues.She might have been a little too exhausted recently.Since she and Elliot had already secured the marriage certificate, the burden in her heart had been released and she would probably be able to readjust her mental state.She figured that her body would return to normal after a few days of rest.The car drove speedily back to the Starry River Villa. Robert was playing with toys in the living room when she arrived, while Elliot was taking an afternoon nap.Mrs. Cooper urged her to go back to her room a
Elliot was speechless."I don't feel unwell. I just think I'm a little tired." She rubbed her eyes. "I'm going to nap now.""Okay." He sat on the edge of the bed and did not leave until she fell soundly asleep.Robert glanced at him when he came to the living room."Oh, Robert. Don't you feel bored just playing at home every day?" Elliot walked up to Robert and talked to him. "Would you like to go to nursery school?"Robert had a confused look because he did not understand a single thing."Master Elliot, why don't you wait until Robert's first birthday before sending him to nursery school!" Mrs. Cooper suggested. "He would get bored if he plays alone at home all the time. After all, there aren't any children around his age for him to play with.""I'll discuss it with Avery when the time comes.""Avery didn't mention anything about nursery school, so I assume she thinks Robert should stay at home." Mrs. Cooper said, "I brought Robert out before, and was told by an old lady that
Elliot was more surprised than anything because he felt that the child he had with Ruby—if indeed there was one and it turned out to be a daughter—would have looked like anybody but Layla.Layla's facial features resembled Avery's.After agreeing to Ruby's friend request, Elliot looked at the screen of his phone and waited for Ruby to send a photo.His heart beat even faster when he looked at the words 'sending photo' next to Ruby's name.Out of nowhere, Robert stretched out his little hand and smacked the phone sharply, sending it crashing onto the ground.Robert wanted to see the photos and got angry when Elliot did not show him the photos anymore.After knocking the phone onto the ground, the little boy snorted angrily and struggled to get down.Elliot held him with one hand and picked up the phone with the other."Don't get angry! I'll show you the photos!" Elliot whispered. "You have a really big temper for a little guy. Even your mother isn't as fierce as you."Robert se
The picture of Layla posted by Ruby was an old photo of Layla a few years ago.Looking at Layla's old photos and the baby in the colored ultrasound seemed more similar.Seeing that her photos had not been deleted, Ruby immediately sent another message: [I know I am not as good as Avery. Since you chose Avery, I can't do anything. I hope you don't forget the baby and me. When the baby is born, I hope you can come and see us. I don't blame you if you can't come. Please don't block me, I want to send you pictures of the child in the future.]Elliot stared at the picture for a while, and a small hand grabbed his trousers.Robert had come over after drinking his soup.Robert wanted to continue looking at the photos, so he reached out to him for the mobile phone.Elliot originally wanted to say that children shouldn't be looking at smartphones, and it wasn't good for his eyes, but looking at Robert's stubborn expression, he couldn't harden his heart to refuse him.He quickly exited t
It wasn't that he didn't like children, but the process of having children was too damaging to a woman's body.He didn't want her to suffer anymore."I won't give birth in the future. We have three children, and that's enough."He listened to her words and nodded."I'm so hungry...I'll see what delicious food there is." She forgot that his broken leg was still recovering, and she was dragging him away quickly.He was on crutches, trying to keep up with her.When she was in the dining room, she suddenly returned to her senses."Husband, I'm sorry. I forgot that your legs are not yet healed." She looked guilty, "Why didn't you remind me?""My legs are much better. I can walk without a cane." He said, putting down the crutches.She helped him sit in the dining chair: "I went to bed in the afternoon and had a nightmare. When I woke up, I was very depressed, but seeing you waiting for me to have dinner, suddenly all my unhappiness disappeared. It became a joy. Have you ever experie
