"I will get nervous if you two are staring at me and I'll make mistakes because of that," Layla said to the two of them."Alright... George, come with me," Leah said to the bodyguard."Who gave you permission to call me by my name?" George felt extremely uncomfortable."I heard Layla calling you 'Uncle George'. Is your name not George? How should I address you, then?" Leah led him out of the study room and into the living room. "I bought a lot of snacks that I can't finish on my own. Why don't you take some with you later? Think of it as doing me a favor.""Do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it? Why would you buy so much if you couldn't finish them?" George thought back to the snacks he had received from Layla. Though they were delicious, he still felt that it was weird for a grown man to eat snacks."I would go out whenever I'm bored, and it's not like I can just walk around shops without buying anything... I've been buying snacks every day, and now, I barely have en

"Why not? We have meat every day before this!" Confused, Layla followed Mrs. Cooper's motion and gazed outside as well."Today is the death anniversary of your grandma. Your mom proposed to go vegetarian for just one day in her memory," Mrs. Cooper explained. "Layla, do you remember your grandma?""I... Of course, I remember Grandma," Layla said when in truth, she could barely remember her grandmother's face.It had been a long time since her death, and she had been rather young at the time. Though she had cried and mourned for Laura at the time, time had slowly taken away the pain."There's no meat on the menu, but I've added some sugar. Why don't you try it?" Mrs. Cooper said. "I'll make you something nice tomorrow morning.""I'm not that crazy about meat," Layla said as she picked up the spoon. "I am fine with no meat.""Sure. What is George saying to your mom? He's acting all mysterious," Mrs. Cooper whispered."I don't know either. He didn't say anything to me. I was workin

Wanda struggled to regain her composure or bring herself to settle down. She felt as though the sky was falling upon her.Even if Avery was not the true owner of Dream Maker, she must have a deep connection to the organization.Wanda had thought that Avery would struggle to survive once Elliot was gone, and she had not expected her to find yet another powerful force to back her up.What terrified Wanda most was that Avery had said she planned to avenge her mother.Wanda felt as though someone was pointing an invisible gun at her head. She glanced around; nowhere seemed safe for her.She rushed to the windows and doors, closing and locking them. She sweated as she made sure everything was locked. She picked up a glass to pour herself some water, but it did not help the sweat on her back. She set the glass down and picked up the remote controller for the air conditioner instead, adjusting the temperature to its lowest setting. She then stepped into the bedroom and took out a set o

Wanda stared at the number with bloodshot eyes."Revenge…" she thought. "Avery is here to take revenge!"She wanted to call out for her bodyguard, but then she remembered that she only got her bodyguard to accompany her to crowded events.She knew that she had to hang up, but her fingers moved towards the 'answer' button. Once she pressed on it, it was too late for her to hang up because she heard Jack's voice."Laura, today's the best day in our lives, and also the fifth anniversary since we fell in love. I am so happy! Do you feel the same?" Jack's voice pierced through her ears, and Wanda stared at the screen dazedly."Jack, I feel the same." Laura's voice was overjoyed. "This is the first five years of our life together. We will have plenty more from now on.""Thank you, Laura! Thank you for staying by my side through thick and thin! You have always been there to comfort me and take care of me at my lowest. Without you, I wouldn't be the man that I am now. I swear in front of

He had lost his appetite."That's all you are eating? Wanda is going to die so just relax..." Mike consoled him."I miss my grandma," Hayden explained. "If she was still alive, both me and my mom would be much happier these past few years."You still remember your grandma? I thought you had forgotten—""Of course, I still remember my grandma. She was the person who cared most about me." Hayden remembered his childhood slightly better than Layla and could distinctly recall the unconditional love they had received from Laura.Avery was not home due to work most of the time, and it was Laura who had taken care of them.As Hayden and Layla were different from other children, they had not been sent off to kindergarten. Laura spent every day thinking about what she could cook them or how she could keep them entertained. Even when they were different, she had never seemed to have issues with that."You are luckier than me. You had your mom and your grandma. As far as I can remember, al

In Elliot's mansion, a few cars were parked outside the yard.Once Avery got out of her car, Tammy and Shea stepped out of the house.Avery's lips curled into a smile at the sight of them.She had been in a horrible mood the past few days and did not want to see anyone else, so the two had not visited.Sometimes, one's friends might know one better than their lovers."Avery, did you go see your mom?" Tammy approached her and beamed. "I heard that Wanda is dead. That's great news.""Yeah. When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me?" Avery took Tammy's hand in one of hers, and Shea's hand in the other and strolled back into the house."Mike told us that Wanda is dead in the chat group so I thought you must be in a better mood now, so I asked Shea out to come and see you together." Tammy pulled Avery to the couch to take their seats.Mrs. Cooper immediately came over with a bowl of soup and handed it to Avery. "Lunch will be ready shortly.""Do you two want soup? Mrs. Cooper mak

"Avery, did you think that Jun was a great kid when he was little? According to my mother-in-law, he enjoyed fighting others when he was a kid. My parents said that I was a little princess when I was a kid..."Avery had not expected them to grow up into such different people. "My Tiffany is a combination of me and Jun, I guess! She does reason with people, but she can be a bit impatient," Tammy said while she reached for a banana and peeled it lazily. "Shea, your mother-in-law fell and hurt her back, so I don't think she can do chores anymore. You can totally send Kiara to a daycare near your place."Shea nodded. "We already did, but she cries on the way to and from daycare every single day... The teacher mentioned that she's not much of a crybaby in daycare, though.""Kids are all like that. She will get used to going there soon," Tammy consoled her."Shea, when did your mother-in-law hurt her back? Is it bad?" Avery did not have a clue that such a thing had happened."That's a

She took out her phone and saw a number from Bridgedale, so she immediately exited the room to answer the call."Am I speaking to Miss Avery Tate?""Yes. Who is this?""I am Mrs. Wanda Tate's lawyer. May I know where you are at the moment? Have you heard the news of Mrs. Tate's death?""I did. What about it?""She mentioned before her death that if she dies, it had to be you pulling the strings. I wonder if you have something to say for yourself?""How ridiculous. I don't have to be a lawyer to know that an accusation requires proof. She wanted to accuse me of murdering her, but does she have proof? Besides, she is in Bridgedale, and I'm in Aryadelle, how exactly am I supposed to kill her?""Even if you are physically in Aryadelle, you can hire someone to kill her.""If you can't provide proof that I have hired someone to kill her, then I can sue you for defamation. You have one week. If you can't provide any supporting evidence, you will be hearing from my lawyer.""Miss Tate
