"Fellow in-laws, how did you all manage to bring Tammy up to be such a brilliant person?" Hilda smiled and said, "My son looks like a fool in front of her."The Lynchs naturally knew what Hilda meant."Our daughter is indeed brilliant, but we never taught her anything. She was born brilliant! Hahaha!" Craig, Tammy's father, could not hide the pride and delight in his eyes.Hilda's smile vanished a little. "Let's talk about something else! Tammy could get pregnant so fast. All of us did not expect this. The doctors previously said that she could not get pregnant easily, that was just nonsense. If Tammy could not get pregnant so easily, how could she have gotten pregnant so smoothly? Am I right?""Are you planning to ask Tammy to get pregnant with a second child?" Mary understood what Hilda meant."Mary, are you suggesting that Tammy only gives birth to one child who will bear your surname? How embarrassing would it be for the Hertzs?" Hilda's blood pressure was increasing!"No, th
After the meal, Avery and Elliot were about to head back to Aryadelle for New Year's. "Lilith, it's such a pity we can't see you compete." Avery passed a gift to Lilith. "Elliot and I picked this together yesterday. Just a little token of our appreciation. I hope that your competition goes smoothly, and you'll get the results that you want!""Thank you! Once the competition ends, I'll head back to visit you!""Hmm, once your competition ends, you should rest well. In just a few short months, it's like you have completely transformed into a different person.""I am quite satisfied with my current condition," Lilith placed the gift in her bag. She had a conceited expression. "I think I'm even prettier right now.""It's your aesthetics that is distorted. You were already skinny enough in the past, now you're just bones. If you want to talk about beauty, you were much more beautiful in the past." Ben expressed his opinion openly."If you're not used to how I look right now, you can
They bought the tickets for 11 at night. They could have bought tickets for the next day instead, but Avery missed the children and wanted to return home earlier.Once they reached the airport, the bodyguards accompanied them to the check-in area. Avery and Elliot were waiting in the VIP lounge.She leaned her head on his shoulders and said softly, "I'm feeling a little dizzy.""If you're sleepy, rest first. I'll wake you up when it's time to board." Elliot looked sideways at her.Avery had already closed her eyes."Are you cold?" He reached out to grab her hand.Her hand was warm but she said, "A little bit."He touched her forehead. "Are you having a fever? Your temperature is a little high."Avery reached out and touched her forehead when she heard what he said. Then, she touched his forehead. "I think mine is higher than yours but other than feeling dizzy—""Wait for me here, I'll go get a thermometer for you." Then, he walked over to the service counter. He soon returned
At the airport, Mike brought Layla and Hayden to pick them up."If Mommy knew that Robert is sick, she would surely be heartbroken," Layla mumbled.Robert had a fever the night before. He had some fever medication. His temperature dropped but rose again after a few hours.Robert had been born prematurely. His body was slightly weaker compared to other normal children."He doesn't have any fever anymore, right? It's just a cold. Your mother is a doctor. She won't be frightened by this," Mike said."But Robert's voice is as hoarse as a duck's!" Layla thought about how hoarse Robert's voice was at that moment. She could not help but want to laugh.While they were chatting, Elliot and Avery walked over."What are you all talking about? We could see you laughing from afar." Avery walked over to Layla and patted her on the head. "It's already so late, why are you not at home resting?""I'm on winter break. I don't need to wake up early tomorrow. Hayden wants to come to pick you up, o
Avery's body tensed tightly. She shut her eyes and opened them once again.She could finally see again, but during her sudden blackout a moment ago, she could not see anything at all. It was not a hallucination.She rubbed her eyes and slowly tried to make sense of the situation of her eyes.Her eyes were feeling a little swollen. She did not know if it was psychological, but her head hurt. Her sight was not as clear.She sat by the side of the bed in a daze and forgot to pick up her phone.In Bridgedale, after Ben paid, he took the shopping bag and looked at Lilith.Lilith was on her phone texting with someone. She furrowed her brows and was engrossed in it."Who are you chatting with? I have finished paying. Let's head out!" Ben looked at her phone.Lilith immediately put her phone away. "I was badmouthing you to Avery." "Oh, I know what you're telling her." Ben could see through her. "But I think she didn't join in with you, right?""She didn't reply to me.""She shoul
"Hayden!" Robert called out after Hayden. With the gifts in his hands, he stretched them out to Hayden, almost touching his face.Hayden was moved by Robert's insistence, so he accepted the gift.Elliot immediately took another gift out for Robert."You want to go see Layla decorate the place, is it? Shall I take you out?" Elliot realized that Hayden was quite awkward holding the gift, so he took Robert and left.Robert wanted to head out a moment ago, but Avery did not allow him to go out, which was why Layla had refused to let him follow her. Since he had not completely recovered from his cold, Avery thought that it would only grow worse if he were to be exposed to the cold.Elliot put on a beanie and a scarf for Robert, wrapping him up tightly before carrying him outside.Shea ran out to the courtyard. "Big Brother, this is the ravioli I made." Shea showed him the ravioli that she made with difficulty so that Elliot would be able to recognize it. "Later, when the ravioli is
Afraid that Elliot might reject her, Ruby immediately said, "Elliot, I beg you not to be so cruel. I will never come again. Once the child is born, I have to care for the child…"Elliot stood in the courtyard outside the door. He turned slightly and looked toward the door of the mansion. Avery was looking at him, but she did not walk over.Shea was tugging at her arm, saying something to her.When Avery realized that Elliot was looking at her, she immediately looked at Shea's face."I won't see you, Ruby. Stop contacting me! You will only make me hate you even more!" Elliot's sensibility overcame his impulsiveness. He rejected Ruby coldly.Ruby instantly cried. She choked up and said, "I didn't come here deliberately. I just can't control myself. The baby has been kicking me. Every time she kicks me, I want to tell you that she is already a healthy, living being. She will be as smart and adorable as Layla in the future. Elliot, I don't ask you to give her the love of a proper fath
It was a call from Lilith.Avery immediately picked it up.Lilith's excited voice rang out. "Avery, I got second in the preliminary round! I got second!"Avery's heart was beating with excitement. "You're amazing! I knew you could do it!""Woo! I'm so happy! My initial target was just to be in the top ten to be able to enter the semifinals. I thought that if I got that I'll be happy enough! I never expected to come in second for the preliminary round! My marks were only slightly lower than the first place!""Lilith, you're amazing! If Elliot hears about this, he would surely be happy for you.""I also hope that he will be impressed with me! I will work hard for the remainder of the competition!" At that, Ben's voice suddenly came through. "Are you talking with Avery?""Who else? Why are you asking the obvious?""Go back and talk! I've already booked the flight tickets back to Aryadelle. Let's go home!" Ben said.The fireworks lit up the night skies with bright colors.Avery
