Elliot knew that Avery had a habit of taking naps. If she did not nap, she might not be able to bear it in the afternoon."You got up so early this morning, aren't you tired yet?"Elliot was a little exhausted already. If he did not have to greet the guests, he would surely be resting at that moment."It's our wedding and there are so many guests…" Avery said with concern."I'll greet the guests. You go take a nap." Elliot pulled her to the resting area. "Even if you can't fall asleep, you'll feel better lying down too. You don't like wearing high heels, right? Your feet must be hurting now!""I am a little tired, but I'm much happier. Even if I stand in heels the entire day, I'm still happy." Avery smiled, her eyes twinkling. "Let's go rest together! How about resting for half an hour?""Okay.""Robert usually clings to us at home. Who would have thought that with other children here today, he would ignore us already." Avery smiled. "I called him just now. He heard it. He onl
Mike saw how Chad was truly happy, so he stopped teasing him.They came out of the hotel and looked past the security guards at the entrance to the paparazzi with their cameras waiting nearby."Just now when I came down with Mr. Foster, the security guard told us that many paparazzi had come," Chad said, "If I was a paparazzi, I would not have come here waiting. It's obvious that they wouldn't get any news by waiting here.""Then, where will you be waiting?" Mike asked."Nowhere. Since they didn't release any news, that means that they did not want to be captured. How could they let the paparazzi capture anything?""Which is why you're not the paparazzi. With that mentality, you'll be a bad paparazzi.""Hehe." Chad sneered and looked around.When he met someone's gaze, the other person was clearly stunned before immediately turning around.Chad felt that the person looked rather familiar, but he could not put a name to that person at that moment and how that person was related
They stood by the entrance of the hotel, eating ice cream while scanning their surroundings, seeing if Cole would appear or not.Not far away, the paparazzi took pictures of them eating ice cream. They could not get photos of Elliot and Avery, but capturing the people close to them was not too bad either!At least, their job there that day was considered done.Not long after, a shocking piece of headline appeared on the internet.[Elliot Foster and Avery Tate…Actually Did This in Front of the Hotel?!]How sensational the headline was! When people on the internet saw the headline, they tapped into it without thinking.When they entered, they realized that the true headline was this, [Elliot Foster and Avery Tate's Friends Actually Did This in Front of the Hotel?!]Then, it was a photo of Mike and Chad eating ice cream at the hotel entrance. The photo was of quite high quality.Chad and Mike were in suits that day. Mike looked a little buffer while Chad looked thinner, but they
"Hmm, don't pay too much attention to him. He is no longer a threat to you. I'm only telling you in case he disturbs you.""It's fine." Elliot would not get angry over such small matters.It was his wedding with Avery that day. Since the morning, he was feeling more and more relaxed. That was because the ceremony was over. Everything went smoothly. At that moment, no one could disturb their wedding anymore. Compare to the previous wedding that he prepared, it was indeed much smoother."Is Avery asleep?" Mike asked, "When are you two planning to leave?""We bought the tickets for tonight. When are you planning to leave for Bridgedale with Chad?" Elliot asked in response."Of course, we'll leave when you two return from your honeymoon. If not, do you think Avery wouldn't be worried about the children?" Elliot was extremely satisfied with Mike's answer."Thank you, you two.""I've never seen you so polite before. You sure are different now that you're a groom today," Mike teased.
In the restroom, Avery was deeply asleep when she heard her phone making a noise. It didn't sound like a phone call.She recalled that it was her wedding day with Elliot and could not sleep for too long, so she struggled to wake up. She turned around and realized that Elliot was already gone."That guy... He never wakes up," she mumbled and got out of bed.When she unlocked her phone to check the time, she noticed that there was a new notification, and when she opened it, she realized it was a request on social media.She had blocked Cole's account on all social media platforms before and it had been years since they last spoke to one another, so she did not expect him to shamelessly reach out to her.The reason she recognized that it was a request from Cole was because it was written on the request, and his profile photo and name had not changed at all.After a few thoughtful moments, she accepted the request.Cole seemed to be waiting for her to accept his request and immediat
However, he was far too timid to face the pain of death, so he couldn't bring himself to act.After sitting on a bench by the road for some time, he summoned the courage to dial Elliot's number; to his surprise, Elliot answered right away.Cole was stunned and wasn't quite sure what to say at first. "I... My dad is sick..." Scared that Elliot would hang up, he swiftly adjusted himself and pleaded, "he was diagnosed with lung cancer half a year ago... I've run out of money to treat him. Elliot, I'm begging you, please help my dad! I know that you hate me, but my dad is innocent... He's not a bad person... Elliot, please lend us some money for Grandma's sake!""How dare you mention Grandma?!" Elliot's eyes widened in anger. "If you didn't murder her, she would still be alive!""I'm sorry! I know that I have no right to mention her... but my mom is dead and if my dad dies as well, I won't have any family left!" Cole burst into tears.He pointed out his mother's death to remind Elliot
"Uncle Eric, my parents are going for their honeymoon so why don't you come to our house to play!" Layla carried Robert to Eric and invited enthusiastically, "I thought you mentioned that you won't start working again until after Christmas. We have a three day holiday for Christmas, so you should stay for another two days!"Eric considered it and said, "I need to ask your mother about this.""It's fine! My parents are leaving, so I make the calls in our house!" She said smugly. "They are leaving tonight, so you can come tonight! Hehehe!"Eric couldn't help but chuckle at her smugness.Robert looked up and corrected her, "Layla, Hayden is back now. If Mom and Dad are gone, we should listen to Hayden."To Robert, though Layla was extremely important, he still thought that Hayden was far more reliable."Hayden listens to me as well!" She said proudly, "he will let me do anything because he likes me. Same goes with you."Robert nodded obediently. "Of course, I listen to you, Layla.
An hour later, Elliot and Avery left the hotel and headed for the airport.They were heading toward Kanton, a neighboring country next to Aryadelle and the flight would only take three hours. As it was situated in a beautiful location, it had never been short of tourists.Avery knew plenty of her friends who had been to Kanton before, but she had not been there personally."Have you been to Kanton before?" She asked Elliot."No. That place is known to be a spot for couples.""So I heard. Judging from the photos, the ocean looks beautiful there. I've always wanted to be there, but there's never been a chance." Avery was excited about their trip. "There's no time difference, either. I really hate jet lag. My head hurts every single time I need to adjust to the time difference.""It is a headache, but Kanton isn't exactly the most beautiful country." Elliot had not been to Kanton because he wasn't interested in the tourist spots in Kanton."Can you stop being such a buzzkill? We ar
