"Someone has to keep her on her toes," Wesley said helplessly, "she isn't afraid of me.""Wealey, I don't think anyone is scared of you," Tammy commented mercilessly, "you are the nicest guy I've ever seen."Defeated, he argued, "my parents are quite afraid of me because I don't listen to them.""Everything has its vanquisher, I guess!"Half an hour later, they arrived at the garden Tammy mentioned. Before they stepped foot into it, they could already see the never-ending ocean of flowers through the wooden fences.Shea's attention was instantly drawn. Once Wesley bought the ticket, the owner led them into the garden."Can we hold a wedding here?" Seeing how much Shea seemed to like it, Avery asked the owner."Of course. A few couples had their outdoor weddings here last month. Do you want to see the videos?" THe owner said."Yes. Please show us!"The owner opened his phone to find the videos, before showing them."That's so pretty!" Shea exclaimed while looking at the video
Time flew by and Shea's wedding approached.Lilith had returned to Aryadelle after completing the three-month long competition and had won second place in the final contest. Though she wasn't satisfied with the outcome, she managed to accept the reality despite feeling depressed.When she saw Shea in her white wedding dress, Lilith's eyes were filled with envy. "Shea, you look so pretty today. Wesley is such a lucky man to land such a beautiful bride.""Shea, you can get married, too," Tammy teased, "your contest is over and you can finally relax now. You and Ben...""Stop it. We broke ties," Lilith said with resignation, "didn't Avery tell you? He stuck back to Bridgedale to see me last time and saw me with my manager's son. He was so angry at the time that he was turning green and he just turned and left.""Avery didn't tell me! When did that happen? What's going on between you and your manager's son?""It's a while back, before the final contest." Lilith frowned. "My manager's
Hayden stared at Ben until he walked towards Elliot and tapped Elliot on the shoulder."A word, Elliot," Ben whispered into Elliot's ear.Elliot was focused on taking photos of Layla and ignored Ben.Ben searched around and finally went to pull Hayden over from the bench. "Take photos for your sister. I have something that I need to discuss with your dad," he said to Hayden before dragging him to where Elliot was standing and pulled Elliot away."What is it? Is it the end of the world or something? It's not every day that my daughter lets me take photos of her..." Elliot scowled in annoyance. If Ben couldn't come up with something important to say, Elliot was not going to spare him.Ben unlocked his phone and shoved it towards Elliot. "Ruby Gould somehow got her hands on my phone number. The baby is born."Ruby knew that Elliot wouldn't talk to her, so she found Ben's number and sent the photo of her baby to Ben instead.Elliot scowled as his expression darkened, which only grew
Ben stood still and watched emotionlessly as Elliot walked away, before turning to walk towards the exit himself.After Ben left, Wesley found Elliot, but was clueless as to what had happened. "Ben left."Ben seemed furious and remained quiet when Wesley asked him why he was leaving."Leave him be."Elliot was no better than Ben and Wesley immediately realized that the two had been fighting. Seeing that Elliot was sitting alone outside by himself, he asked, "do you want to go inside?""Leave me alone." Elliot wanted to be alone.Wesley left and went inside, just in time to see Lilith taking a photo with Robert in her arms.Robert didn't like being held by strangers, but instead of crying, he would simply scowled in annoyance.At the moment, he was being passed around for photos like a mascot.Wesley walked towards SHea, telling her that there was still an hour until the ceremony and that she could take some rest if she was tired.Shea shook her head to let him know that she w
Avery hurried towards them and held Layla's hand. "Layla, I need to speak to your dad for a while, why don't you head inside first? Your brother is in there.""I am not looking for my brother. I am looking for my aunts...""Yeah, they are in there too. Go on inside!" Avery watched as she went in, before turning to look at Elliot.The sun was bright and the light shone upon him like rays of gold.If she hadn't heard about Elliot's fight with Ben, her mood would have been brighter than the sun itself."Why did you and Ben argue?" She grabbed him by the hand and led him towards a place with less people.The garden was spacious with countless twists and turns that were perfect for leisurely strolls."He is in a bad mood." Elliot held her hand back. "I was just talking about work with him and when we couldn't get on the same page, he just threw a tantrum and went off.""It's Shea's wedding today and you two were talking about work? DO you think that I'm that easily fooled?" Avery re
"What's there to worry about? Your husband knows I'm fine." Ben glanced casually at Elliot."He did mention that you were fighting." Seeing that the conflict was resolved, Avery smiled and said, "the ceremony is starting soon. Let's go take our seats!""Will Elliot walk Shea down the aisle?""Adrian will. Adrian is her real brother, after all!" She explained, "we want Adrian to know that he is needed.""Oh. I saw Hayden spending a lot of time with Adrian today." Ben scanned the crowd to look for Hayden and as expected, found him sitting next to Adrian and the two were talking to one another."Hayden cares for Adrian. Didn’t Lilith buy Adrian a drawing pad? Adrian didn't know how to use it and Hayden took the time to watch tutorials online to teach him," Avery said and immediately realized that she had accidentally mentioned Lilith."I was the one who told Lilith to get that drawing pad." Reminded of the bitter past, Ben asked, "how are things between her and that postgraduate stu
"Don't underestimate yourself. You are different from anyone else to him," Avery said and came up with a perfect way to describe their relationship. "You are not brothers by blood, but are closer than real brothers."Avery's gentle eyes and voice had filled Ben with guilt. "You are right. We are close, so I can tell you for sure that he's only ever loved you. You are the only one he wants to grow old with."Avery was a bit confused as to why he was talking about such a thing. His words had somehow reminded her of Ruby. It was the first of May today and Ruby's baby was either about to be born or had already been born.Noticing the gloomy looks in her eyes, he asked guiltily, "what are you thinking about?""I wonder if Ruby has given birth," she whispered, but Ben heard her loud and clear.As though someone had cast a spell on him, he instinctively answered, "she did. She had a daughter."Avery didn't expect to get an answer from Ben. Instantly, her dazed mind sobered as she stared
Elliot was standing next to Ben, and when Ben moved away, he immediately walked over to grab the bouquet.Usually, people would be fighting over the bride's bouquet and Elliot did not want Shea's wedding to be an exception. He caught it and before anyone realized what had happened, he handed it directly to Ben.Ben refused it without hesitation, and the two were on the verge of getting into a fight over the bouquet.Hayden felt utterly humiliated. They were both adults and were acting more childish than elementary school students. He immediately went over in an attempt to get them to stop.Just then, Ben spotted him from the corner of his eyes and swiftly shoved the bouquet into Hayden's hands."Hayden, you are old enough now. Don't just focus on your studies and get a girlfriend already. I'm sure that dating won't interfere with your studies!" Ben deadpanned. "'Besides, if you have a girlfriend, she can help in taking care of your younger brother. Now that you have your Aunt Shea
