Holly thought about it for a moment before agreeing."Holly, can you tell me about the lead you found? I can look for Ivy with you." Natalie wanted something solid. "You don't have to be too specific about it.""I've managed to get in touch with my friends in Ylore, and I've told them that, if I find Ivy, I will tell Elliot to get them all out of there, so one of them gave me a lead. It's not that much..." She trailed off. She would have found Ivy by now had the lead she had been given been more detailed."Now I really need to know," Natalie said eagerly. "Just tell me, Holly! We can look for her together. If I find Ivy, you will have a share of whatever I get as well. We are in the same boat now. If you say a few bad things about me in front of Elliot, he won't even give me a penny."Convinced, Holly proceeded to say, "The person who bought Ivy had a scar on their wrist.""What kind of scar? Like a birthmark or a wound?""Like the kind you get from cutting your own wrist."Nata
Avery shot Tammy a look and glanced at Mike, before looking back at her and asked, "Tammy, why won't you let Mike speak? He wasn't saying anything!"Tammy scratched her head sheepishly. "I..." She desperately wanted to look for an excuse, but couldn't think of one.Mike immediately came to her rescue. "Tammy probably didn't want to risk having me say anything bad. Tomorrow is Christmas and it will be a brand new year soon, so we are supposed to celebrate.""Yeah! That's what I meant." Tammy flushed. "Mike can never keep his mouth shut. You say that all the time too, right?"Embarrassed, Avery said, "even if I say that to you in private, you don't have to repeat that out loud in front of him. He's sensitive...""He's sensitive? I can't tell." Tammy turned to look at Mike with surprise written all over her face. "Mike, are you sensitive? Men shouldn't be too sensitive, you know?""How am I sensitive? I have the mind of steel, okay?" Mike argued and everyone burst out laughing.The
After all, the doctors had mentioned that it was extremely difficult for her to get pregnant."Tammy, I can't give birth either," Shea said."That's why I'm asking Lilith to do it! Robert is the only boy among kids his age here, so I'm just concerned that he would grow up to be more like a girl." Tammy didn't care that she couldn't give birth again, since she was content with having Tiffany."Girls are nice. They are more gentle! Isn't it a good thing for Robert to be gentle? He already has a kind heart. Boys like that will get a lot of admirers." Lilith still didn't want a son. "I want a girl, so he's going to be surrounded by four girls.""Lilith, I don't think kids turn out to be the gender you want simply because you want it that way. Just let things run their courses," Avery said, before turning to Tammy with a smile. "Besides, I do agree with Lilith. Robert will grow up to be gentle if he grows up around girls. I love him no matter how he turns out. As far as admirers go, tha
His family and friends rarely messaged him at odd hours unless it was an urgent matter, however, it didn't seem to be the case.He opened the messages and saw wishes after wishes.[Happy wedding, Elliot!][Mr. Foster, happy wedding! Congratulations!][Elliot, congratulations on your big day!]...Elliot blushed at all the messages he received and decided that he must be dreaming.He had a wedding with Avery before and though they divorced one another before, they had the ceremony once.Thinking that he was dreaming, he set his phone down and went back to sleep.Avery did not notice Elliot's movement at all, because her phone started ringing and she went into the bathroom to answer the call from Tammy.It was only six in the morning, so Avery thought that perhaps Tammy was having issues getting in.She answered the call and Tammy immediately said, "Avery, it's time to wake up. Are you two going to wake up on your own, or do I have to come in?"Confused, Avery said, "what's w
How could he possibly go back to sleep?He tossed the blanket away and got out of bed. "She was acting odd since last night. I knew it." Elliot grabbed his robe and strode towards the door.Avery instinctively wanted to follow him, but remembered about the dressing gown that Tammy had mentioned and turned to look for it inside her closet.'Dressing gown...' She thought. 'Aren't dressing gowns traditionally worn on the day of a wedding? If Tammy is asking me to put it on... Could it be that... they are trying to film a wedding documentary or something?!'Her previous wedding with Elliot had been disrupted by Nathan White, so there weren't any videos of the ceremony.Avery came to a realization that her best friend had planned a surprise for her. However, she would much prefer going back to sleep than to receive said surprise. Naturally, she wouldn't ignore Tammy's effort as she appreciated it all the same.She put on the dressing gown Lilith bought for her and hurried to the door.
"Come here. I'll explain." Tammy pulled Avery over to the chair and made her sit down. Then she said to Elliot, "Stop looking already. Go up and change into your dressing gown. The one Lilith gave you last time."Elliot immediately understood what was happening. They were planning to hold a wedding ceremony for him and Avery today.Elliot quickly went upstairs. He found Jun's contact and called him."Elliot, you must have met Tammy already, right? This was what happened…" Jun explained everything to Elliot. "We did not tell you all this before because we were afraid that, once the word was spread, someone would try to ruin it. So we didn't inform anyone beforehand. Only a few of us knew about it. Hehe!"Elliot asked, "Who came up with this dumb idea?"He did not like being kept in the dark. Even if it was for his own good, he still felt terrible.Jun coughed awkwardly. "It was Tammy and Lilith's idea. They used the wedding that Ben's parents planned for them. I hope you don't min
Avery smiled and said, "Thank you for your help today. I only found out that I'm having a wedding earlier today, so I didn't prepare a tip for you beforehand.""No need, no need. We'd be very happy with just the wedding chocolates from you and Mr. Foster," the makeup artist replied."But I didn't prepare any of those either." Avery blushed awkwardly."You might not have prepared them, but we did!" Tammy said, "We have prepared tips for all of you too, but they're with Ben. Once he is here, he will give them to you.""Oh… You all sure know how to hide things from me. When did you start planning this?" Avery asked."It was when we were discussing whether Lilith and Ben should get married on Christmas. Do you remember how Lilith was not willing to get married on Christmas? I told her to give the Christmas wedding to you and Elliot! Your previous wedding was a mess! I wanted to make it up to you and let you have the perfect wedding," Tammy explained. "Don't get too emotional. Just enj
Avery thought for a while and guessed, "Was it Ben?"Tammy waved her finger. "Take another guess.""Lilith?""No.""Mike!" Avery thought that it was definitely Mike."If it was Mike, I would not have asked you this question. Think about someone you would not have guessed," Tammy said mysteriously.Avery thought for a while before blindly guessing, "Is it Wesley? Or is it… your husband? Surely, it's not you, right? If it was you, then I wouldn’t be surprised either.""No, no, no! Continue guessing!""Give me a hint!""The person who paid was not an adult," Tammy hinted."Hayden." Avery guessed it immediately upon getting the hint. "Am I right?""If I hadn't given you a hint, you would never have been able to guess," Tammy said. "How Hayden hated Elliot before! And, now, he actually forks out money to buy you rings. What does this mean? It means that he has already accepted Elliot! If Elliot hears about this, he will be pleased to death.""Yes! I'll go tell him later," Avery
