Sebastian was stunned for a moment, and then he said calmly, "Let's just wait and see, then.""Sebastian, are you really not afraid? The Jennings family's properties are so vast, and you actually dared to swallow it whole. Aren't you afraid you'll choke and die?" Natalie mocked him. "Even if my siblings and I don't do anything, don't you think that you won't be able to keep the empire Dean gave you either?"Sebastian asked, "What's that got to do with you?" After a pause, he added, "Do you think that, even if I weren't to do anything, you'd also get your retribution in the future?"Natalie's expression instantly darkened."People's deeds catch up with them sooner or later." Sebastian said, reminding her that her hands were stained with blood. "Hoho! Are you trying to scare me?" Natalie was unfazed. "Didn't your dear father also do all sorts of heinous acts? He lived till he was seven-three years old. How many good people in this world have failed to live until such an age? This w
"That's right! Her father did give her the technology that he'd been studying. At the same time, he also gave her millions of dollars worth of debt. Would you want this inheritance if it was given to you?" Mike burst out laughing.Everybody fell silent once again.In Aryadelle, Elliot was dreaming.It was hard to say if this dream was a sweet dream or a nightmare.That was because he was dreaming that he was climbing a mountain.His brain injuries had yet to fully recover, so, when he was halfway up the mountain, he began to feel dizzy, and he could not see the path under his feet.To keep from falling down, he held the handrail by the side of the mountain road and stopped to catch his breath.Then, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the Hightide Chapel.In his dream, he was the only one climbing the mountain. He might have carried Avery down on his back earlier on.A voice was guiding him and asking him to look at the mountaintop because his daughter, Ivy, was
Avery suddenly woke up.She was woken up by Elliot.Elliot had suddenly let out a sound that was halfway between an angry bellow and a desperate sob.She heard it even clearer when she woke up."Elliot… Did you have a nightmare?" Avery sat up and raised her hand to switch on the lights in the room.All she saw was Elliot, covered in sweat, and with a frightful expression on his face."Elliot!" Avery's voice grew even louder as she tried to wake him from his nightmare. "Elliot, wake up!"Her voice pulled Elliot back to reality from the dream.Elliot opened his eyes, tears clearly forming at their corners."Elliot, did you have a nightmare? What did you dream of?" Avery reached out her hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "Do you want some water? I'll go get you water."Elliot immediately grabbed her arm and did not let her get out of bed."Avery, I dreamed that I went to Hightide Chapel. It wasn't a nightmare… It was just a little bizarre." He looked at Avery's face, his
Avery said, "Is it that serious? Why don't I get you a psychiatrist?"Elliot said, "Avery, do you really not understand what I said?""I don't understand! I feel like you're quite normal. Why would you say that you're useless?" Avery hugged his waist and suddenly figured it out. "I got it! You want to do that!"Elliot was confused.Avery said, "Brain injuries are no small matter and not to be taken lightly. You still haven't gone for your follow-up checkup! Let's wait and see what the results are after your next checkup. You shouldn't think about those kinds of messy things for now. Just rest properly. After you've recovered, you can do whatever you want, and I won't hold you back.""No… Didn't you say that you wanted to encourage me when you came back yesterday morning?""Oh, that's what you're talking about!" Avery did not expect him to have such a good memory. "I would have forgotten if you hadn't brought it up. Hahaha!"She smiled, tip-toed, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
At breakfast, Elliot brought up the dream he had had the night before."Avery, I think I should make a trip there." Elliot wanted to go up the hill to confirm his dream."Elliot, I have seen all the children there. Ivy is not there. I’m sure of it. There is not a child that looks like me or you." Avery carefully thought back to the children’s faces as she said that. "If you don’t believe me, when Layla returns, you can go through the photos in her phone once more."Elliot has seen the group photo the night before. However, at that time, he had only glanced at it. He had not looked at it carefully."Maybe it’s because I didn’t take you along up the hill the last two times, so you feel left out, which is why you had that dream," Avery proposed. "The next time, when the weather is better, I'll take you there to have a look. If I don't, I'm afraid that you'll keep thinking about it.""Hmm, maybe it is like what you said. If Ivy is on that hill, how would we not have found her after so
"Layla, give her a money jar next time, then! She can save her own money and buy whatever she wants in the future," Shea said dotingly."Okay, Aunt Shea. I'll bring it next week." Then, Layla asked curiously, "Aunt Shea, will you send Rose to school today?""On Monday, we'll take her to the kindergarten to have a look and see if she wants to go to school or not. If she wants to, she'll go to school with Kiara. If not, she'll stay at home, and I'll care for her." Shea could accept anything, as long as Rose was healthy."I want to go to school with Kiara, but I'm afraid that I don't know anything," Rose said."When I was young, I didn't properly go to a kindergarten! Hayden didn't go to a kindergarten either. He found it too childish. Rose, don't worry about not knowing anything! You can go and try it out first. If you're not happy with it, you don't have to go," Layla said encouragingly."Hmm!"After the four children played together for a while, Layla took Rose and Kiara to anoth
"Yes! Irene looks like your Daddy when he is young! Hehe!" After Rose made this discovery, she looked at Layla's phone closely.Layla also looked at her screen. "Are you for real? Do you have Irene's photo? Oh, right, you don't have a phone…""I don't have a photo. We have never taken a photo before," Rose explained. "The Sister never allowed others to take photos of us. She has never taken photos of us either.""Oh… It's a pity I have never seen your friend. If not, I would know whether she looks like my Daddy or not," Layla said and pondered on this for a few seconds. She continued, "Actually, I do not know if my Daddy looked like this when he was young. I was just having some fun. I'll go ask him later when I go home. See if he really looked like this when he was young.""Hmm." Rose nodded obediently."Rose, haven't you seen my Daddy before? When you saw him, didn't you feel that he looked like your friend?" Layla asked with a smile."Uncle Elliot doesn't look like her right n
"Mommy, look at Uncle Elliot… Layla has a photo where she turned Uncle Elliot young. Tap on it. I don't know how to do it." Kiara pointed at the phone.Robert was looking at them intently by the side. He placed his new toy down and took Layla's phone from Shea's hand. He skillfully opened the photo album and found the photo of his father.When he saw the photo of his father as a young child, he snickered, "Hehe! Daddy is so cute!"Then, Robert kissed the screen without any warning."Robert, you naughty boy! That's disgusting! You made my screen dirty!"Layla flew over and rescued her phone from Robert. At the same time, she shoved Robert to the side.Robert pouted, looking aggrieved. "You don't want to play with me, and you pushed me away. I'm going to tell Mommy when we get home.""If you dare to tell Mommy, I won't play with you ever!" Layla threatened Robert, completely unperturbed.She was confident in her control over Robert.Sure enough, Robert caved. He was so frightene
