"Avery, Robert likes the ravioli that you guys made very much," Mrs. Cooper said to Avery while smiling. "He asked for another helping after he finished one bowl of it. He said the ravioli today is really too good."Mrs. Cooper had deliberately come over to tell Avery this because she wanted to make her happy.She had seen how nervous Avery and Elliot were when Layla had eaten the ravioli earlier.It was already something very worthy of encouragement when people like them, who did not usually cook, could make ravioli.Mrs. Cooper had had some of the ravioli that they had made as well. The taste was quite ordinary, but they absolutely were not awful."Really?" Avery was drawn to the dining room.Robert was holding the spoon himself and was bringing the last of the ravioli in the bowl to his little mouth."Slow down a little, sweetie. You'll still have breakfast at your kindergarten!" Avery walked to the side of her son and wiped his mouth for him with a napkin."Mom, the ravioli
Avery almost forgot that she had been the one to call Tammy."Tammy, your husband has just given Elliot a call and said that there's going to be a cold wave coming. He told us not to head out. I've checked the weather just now, and what cold wave? Is the weather forecast that your husband saw different from ours?""How is it not considered a cold wave? There's going to be a rapid drop of six degrees on Christmas! Do you have an idea of what a six-degree drop would do?" Tammy said exaggeratedly to express her fear of the six-degree change. "For people like your husband, who has just recovered from something so serious, these six degrees could very well be a fatal blow to him."After a pause, Avery said, "It shows that it's going to drop five degrees over here.""It's going to drop six degrees here! Regardless if it's five or six degrees, it's still a great drop in temperature!" Tammy spoke extremely quickly. "Therefore, before Christmas, both of you should not head outside! If you f
Both of them knew that there was close to no hope.They had three children, and all of their children looked somewhat like them, so Ivy could not possibly look anything like them.Meanwhile, in Bridgedale, Sebastian had progressed his plans.Once Dean's funeral was over, Sebastian had officially taken over MediLove Pharmaceutical.The first problem he now had to tackle was the new project his father had worked on alongside Stanley.On the day of the funeral, Stanley had tried talking to Sebastian about the project, but Sebastian had been too busy during the day, so they had arranged a meeting at night.Sebastian had made a reservation in the hotel and invited Stanley there for dinner, sending everyone inside the room away upon Stanley's arrival."Sebastian, let's cut to the chase. You know about the collaboration between your father and me. If this project works, it is going to generate endless wealth for the both of us," Stanley said. "Do you know why I want to work with you gu
Sebastian immediately took out a lighter to light his cigarette for him.Stanley smoked and started to consider how he could convince Avery."By the way, Sebastian, about the lawsuit your siblings filed against you, are you confident in winning?" Stanley asked"I'm not sure what angle they are working, so I will deal with them when they show their hands!" Sebastian said. "Don't worry. I've consulted my lawyer and, even if they win, the court will still judge based on the will my father wrote and would probably just provide them with a small portion as compensation.""That's true. Natalie came looking for me and I ignored her." Stanley narrowed his eyes. "I heard that she killed Dean, so I'd prefer not to associate myself with her.""That's the right call, Mr. Palmer. Working with Natalie is all great if everything goes smoothly, but, should there be any conflict, well… You know what will happen, seeing how she tried to assassinate Elliot and killed my father.""I know. That's why
Stanley's anger was instantly ignited."F*ck! She said scammers will get their whole family killed! She might as well curse me to death!"Sebastian could no longer hold his laughter in. "Calm down, Mr. Palmer. That's the way she is. She has no boundaries and could give you a heart attack with her words alone. I felt the same about the things she said to me before. Why exactly do you think I am letting go of such a profitable project? I don't dare to cross her. Let's just give up. I will pay you back however much you invested. I know that you have already invested quite an amount into the project. I will pay you back everything."Stanley felt much better but was still slightly frustrated. "That's a lot of money. I would have earned a small fortune had I kept it in the bank to collect interest...""I will pay you the interest as well, then. You have been friends with my dad for many years, and I can't watch you lose all that money," Sebastian said generously. "If there's any other su
"Elliot, what are you doing?"The two had just returned from the paternity test center. Avery had gone back to the bedroom to sleep but had struggled to do so. On the other hand, Elliot had not been tired, so he had not gone into the bedroom with her.She went downstairs to find Elliot preparing tools that looked to be fishing gear."Didn't you tell me to try fishing as a hobby? I decided to give it a try," Elliot said as he adjusted the gear.She looked at him curiously. "Where will you go fishing, Elliot? Maybe in our backyard by the artificial hill?"Elliot looked at her quizzically. There was indeed an artificial hill in his backyard with a pond that had plenty of fishes next to it. However, the idea of fishing there was simply ridiculous, as there was no meaning to fishing there.He did not even need the fishing pod and could simply grab a net, which would guarantee that he would get a lot of fish at once."Elliot, this fishing rod looks so cool!" Avery picked it up. "It'
"Elliot, how's this? Great atmosphere, right?" Avery went back to sit down next to Elliot and beamed at him."Sure. Looks great. It would be weird if I can't get any fish, though," Elliot said with a smile."Why wouldn't you? There are fishes everywhere! I can get down there myself and just grab blindly, and I will still end up with a few." Avery found it hard to believe that Elliot would fail despite having such wonderful gear. "Have you drawn them in? I watched videos of others fishing before. I think you need to draw them in first," she said, before grabbing a handful of bait and tossing them into the pond."All the fishes are gathered in this small pond. I don't really think we need to draw them in.""Oh, right. I think the video I saw was someone fishing in the wild.""Yeah. Avery, don't you want to stay inside the house? It's cold out here."Elliot wasn't actually worried that she would be cold, as Avery had plenty of layers on; he simply felt nervous having her next to him
"Good luck, Elliot! The next one is going to be a big one!""Yeah, I feel like I'm getting the hang of it now.""You are doing great, Elliot! Let's eat fish and chips tonight!" Avery giggled as she watched him throw the hook back into the water.Another half hour passed by swiftly.Mike tried to get Avery's attention from the chatroom. [Avery, how many fish did Elliot end up with? Send us a photo!]Tammy responded with an emoji of her rubbing her hands together excitedly.[Tammy, can you stop acting so obvious that you are waiting for drama?] Jun typed.Jun was worried that Elliot had not caught any fish, as Avery had not shown off after the first photo. If Elliot had caught a big fish, Avery would have definitely shown them a photo.[What makes you think I am waiting for drama? I am just excited! Avery, are you still fishing? If it's still going on, I will drive there now to watch! Can you let me have half the fish?] Tammy typed.Avery read through their messages and glanced
