"Yes, the child is called Kiara, K-I-A-R-A. Shea named her.""What a beautiful name. Who does Kiara look like?""Me. My mom said that she looks exactly like me when I was young," Wesley said. "I think she looks like me too."At that, he heard Shea's laughter coming from the ward."Big Brother, my daughter is extremely cute. I have given her an even cuter name. She is called Kiara. Do you like it?" Shea held onto Elliot's arm and said happily.Wesley heard what Shea said. He said to Avery awkwardly, "Elliot is here. It's good that you aren't returning. If not, you would surely have to bump into him.""Hmm. I'll promise to go see Kiara when I have the chance in the future."The call ended there.Wesley entered the ward from the balcony. Brook Sr. knew nothing about tact. He directly asked Wesley, "Can Avery return?"Wesley shook his head.Brook Sr. asked, "Is she busy? What is she busy with abroad?"Sandra could not take her husband's tactlessness, she immediately said, "Sin
Sandra noticed that Elliot's expression darkened. She immediately said to Shea, "Why don’t you all take Elliot out for a meal? We'll look after Kiara."Wesley and Shea immediately took Elliot out of the ward.After they left, Sandra reprimanded Brook Sr. "What is going on with you today? Did you leave your brain at home? Why are you bringing up all the things that shouldn't be brought up? You clearly saw Elliot here, yet you asked Wesley if Avery was coming back or not. That's fine, yet you dare to ask Elliot about Ivy! My God!" Sandra said.Then, she took Kiara over from Brook Sr.Brook Sr. also realized that his actions a moment ago were quite strange. Not quite, it was very strange. He was not this type of person usually."M-Maybe I'm too happy and excited, so I can't control myself." When he said that, he let out a cheeky smile. "I feel like I'm dreaming. Our son was not going to get married at first, and then he wouldn't have a child, yet somehow, he got married, and now, he
Layla had told him that she intended to be away for a month and a half. He had told her the max she could be away for was half a month.He had not yelled at her. He had only informed her of how long he was comfortable letting her out of his sight. Layla had cried endlessly and thrown many tantrums.After sending Shea back to the Brooks, Elliot drove home.When he reached home, the snow had stopped. The courtyard was covered in a layer of white, adding some brightness to the night.Avery liked building snowmen. If she was here, she would surely pull him out to the courtyard to build snowmen.This thought suddenly came to him, unbidden. Elliot could not help but furrow his brows.Entering the mansion, he stood by the door to change his shoes.Mrs. Cooper walked over and said, "Master Elliot, Layla has left. Eric came to pick her up an hour ago.""Did the bodyguard go with her?""Yes," Mrs. Cooper said. "I'm worried that if Layla is allowed to be away for so long, she will just g
Avery had indeed not thought about this problem. She studied for a doctoral degree so that she could go to school together with Hayden.For the past two years, she had been living a very fulfilling life. It was also very tiring, so she was going to rest for a while next."Avery, you're the only person I know who took two years to graduate! I really envy you!" Someone raised their glass to her. She immediately raised her glass and clinked it to theirs."I wish all of you a smooth graduation too.""We'll be needing your luck!"…Al fresco dining in the summer night in the light breeze made everyone rather drunk after they had a few glasses of wine. At ten at night, Mike drove over to pick Avery up. Her alcohol tolerance was bad. She only had half a bottle before she started talking drunk."Mike… is it daytime already? Today, I… have an important matter…" Avery looked up and squinted her eyes. She could not even tell what day or year it was, whether it was day or night."Your su
However, seeing how she was still in a good state, Hayden was not that worried.After Hayden returned to his room, Mike watched Avery as she finished her drink, and he helped her to her room. Once, she was in he left her in peace. After Avery drank the sobering concoction, her stomach felt much better.She lay in bed and could not move. It was as if her body was falling apart. Forget about it. She was not going to take a shower that night. She would do it the next day.At that though, she took off her shoes and put her legs on the bed.The light on the nightstand was still on. She wanted to switch it off, but her body felt like jelly. She had no strength at all. She felt as if she could sleep the very next second.She was just going to sleep that way! After thinking about that, she groggily fell asleep.In the middle of the night, she woke up with the urge to pee. She immediately got out of bed and headed to the washroom.A moment later, she returned to the bed once more. The
What Avery said made Mike's hand tremble a little. The phone in his hands fell to the floor with a clang."Ah… f*ck!" Mike immediately picked his phone up. It was not a surprise that he was killed off in his game.Throwing his phone aside, he looked at Avery once more."Are you really planning to return to Aryadelle? Why did you suddenly have this idea? I want to know what you're thinking."Mike was stunned because, for the past two years, her friends in Aryadelle had often been asking her to head back to Aryadelle, but not once had she ever wavered from her decision to not return.However, at that moment, she suddenly wanted to return to Aryadelle. It was most likely not only because she had graduated."Every year, I could only see Layla during winter and summer breaks. Robert, on the other hand… I haven't seen him for almost three years. The video calls don't count," Avery choked up a little. "If I return to Aryadelle, I would sure be able to see Robert.""Oh, so you miss your
Mike raised his eyebrow. "What do you think?""It's good that he didn't." Avery finished eating the sandwich. She took a piece of tissue to wipe her mouth. "The thing about me saying I want to head back to Aryadelle, don't tell others yet. I haven't decided!""Okay, then take your time. It's not in a rush. Even if you're not heading back to Aryadelle now, Layla is coming to see you in a few days." Mike got up from the sofa with his phone in his hand. "I'll make a move first.""Hmm."After Mike left, Avery sat on the sofa and slowly drank her milk. She felt that her brain was overheating a little. If she really wanted to head back to Aryadelle, she needed to calm down first before doing anything.After breakfast, she returned to her bedroom. She lay down in bed and took her phone.The top news of the day was Netimail shutting down.Everyone was showing off the picture of their first and last email in their Netimail online. Avery found it quite interesting, so she looked at many o
Lilith was amused by the term supermodel."Avery, thank you for giving me the title of a supermodel. To be honest, I don't really want to return to Aryadelle. You and Hayden are here. I particularly don't want to leave the both of you.""Hayden and I may not stay here forever. Just return first and see how the environment for your work in the country is. Didn't you say you won't stop working even if you were to marry Ben?" Avery said."Hmm. My agent, Jaz, can't go to Aryadelle with me. She introduced me to her friend there, so I'll first go and have a try. Jaz said that she'll save a spot for me in the company here. If my work in Aryadelle isn't smooth sailing, she would welcome me back at any time. The people around me are super nice to me. I'm really very touched… All of this is because you and Hayden supported me through everything."Tears welled up in Lilith's eyes as she was moved."Lilith, all of the success that you've gotten are the results of your effort. The person that
