"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
Lilith saw him walking over and stood up with her purse in hand. Judging from the way Ben walked, it was obvious that he was drunk.Back when they had just known one another, Ben bragged all the time about how he never got drunk, but his tolerance for alcohol was indeed rather impressive in the past. However, as he grew older, his tolerance decreased along with it."Honey!" Ben walked toward her and opened his arms for a hug.Lilith instantly wished that she could find a hole to bury herself in when she realized what he was doing. "How much did you drink?" She took his arm and sat him down. "I'll go talk to Mike. Let's go home! Your mom thought that you were going to get drunk until late at night and was worried sick!"She turned to look for Mike, but Ben wrapped his arms around her waist and refused to let go."Honey, don't go... Don't go anywhere... Stay with me... You didn't spend time with me at all today. I'm heartbroken..." Ben said, rubbing his blushing cheek against her dr
She placed a hand behind her back and hurried after the bodyguards.As soon as they were gone, Jun went to ask for the video Tammy had filmed.Tammy swiftly hid her phone. "I'm not showing you! What if you delete it? This is a leverage against Ben. I'm never deleting it!""I wouldn't dare to delete it. Just show me. I'll just watch it!" Jun swore. "I just want to see if you got a clear shot.""Oh... I did, and recorded all the things he said as well! Everyone stayed so quiet when he was talking! They were all listening! Hahaha!" Tammy opened the video to show Jun.Jun flushed after watching the video, realizing that it was over for Ben because there was no recovering from something so embarrassing. According to what he knew about Tammy, Ben was never going to get the video back without sacrificing something."I'm keeping the video and if he wrongs Lilith in any way, I'll publish this video! I'm going to embarrass him!" Tammy said.Impressed, Jun said, "I won't delete the video,
"I never said anything about not giving birth! Why are you crying?" She was instantly overwhelmed by guilt when she saw the tears in his eyes. She wiped his tears away and whispered, "I won't ever call you old again, okay? Stop crying. I don't know what to do when you act like this.""Just give me a kiss.""You are taking advantage of me..." Feeling both amused and helpless, she said, "I've never seen you cry before, and now that you've started, you can't seem to stop!" She cupped his cheeks and planted a kiss on his lips."You stink... Go shower!" She said with a disgusted tone, before realizing that she might hurt his pride again and explaining, "I'm disgusted by the smell, not you..."Ben's lips curled into a smile at her explanation. "Honey, my head is spinning. I can't move. Help me shower!" Ben sprawled across the bed.Lilith wanted to refuse, because Ben had always taken care of her and never let her do anything ever since they started dating, but since he was drunk because
Ben frowned awkwardly. "I'll go take my phone from the bedroom..."Ben hurried back to the room and found his phone, before calling Jun.If Tammy had filmed him, she would not agree to delete it so he could only seek Jun's help.Jun answered right away. "Awake so early, Ben?""Jun, Lilith said that your wife took a video of me. Delete it right now!" Ben refused to admit to anyone that he remembered every single thing he said. He was drunk and lost control of his emotions. He knew that everyone was watching when he caused a scene, but one simply couldn't be bothered with others when they were acting recklessly. At that very moment, he would have done the same even if it was the end of the world.Ben did not regret it, as Lilith seemed to be a lot gentler to him after what happened the night before, so it was all worth it. However, he would not allow the video from the night before to get out. Even if Tammy didn't post it, he couldn't stand the fact that she had the video."Ben, do
She no longer loved Elliot, but her heart still ached when she sees the photo of Elliot and Avery together. Perhaps she felt jealous of how well they were doing when she was stuck in a series of misfortunes. Despite feeling envious, she no longer felt the urge to compete against them because she realized she was not capable of it.All she wanted in the present was to get as much money as she could from them."Avery and Elliot are on vacation in Kanton." Natalie set her phone down and took out a cigarette.She was currently in Holly's rented apartment.They both lived in the same area and since Holly refused to go to her apartment, Natalie went to Holly's and they would either order takeout, or she would do grocery shopping and Holly would cook."Natalie, don't you ever think about just marrying a rich guy?" Holly took out a cigarette from Natalie's cigarette box.Natalie immediately helped her light it."What's so good about getting married? As rich as those guys might be, it's
Chad finished his lunch and found Cole's number to give him a call.Cole was overjoyed to receive Chad's call. "I knew that my uncle wouldn't be so heartless! I knew he wouldn't leave my dad to die! My dad is still his big brother, after all..."Disgusted, Chad came close to vomiting. "Where's your dad right now? Let's meet and talk!""My dad is in the hospital. I'll send you the address.""Sure."After hanging up, Cole sent Chad the address, and Chad headed to the location with the person he found.The hospital Henry stayed in was a government hospital and the environment was hardly comfortable, so it wasn't hard to tell that Cole had truly run out of money to treat Henry.The car parked in front of the hospital and Chad immediately spotted Cole, who was standing at the entrance; his face filled with anticipation and excitement, looking completely different from the way he appeared when Chad saw him at the hotel the day before.It was almost as though Cole had won the lottery.
