"Just wear this outside. If you're going to the office, you can take off your down jacket." Avery forcefully put the down jacket on Elliot before taking a pair of leather gloves out from the pocket.Elliot was in a daze looking at it. He had forgotten that he even had such a thing."I found it in the closet. You must have bought it some time ago," Avery said before making him put on the leather gloves.Right when Avery was helping him with his jacket and gloves, Mrs. Cooper took a pair of leather boots over.No one knew when Elliot had bought that pair of leather boots. However, one thing for sure was that Elliot has never worn them before because the boots did not have any signs of it being used."Put them on." Avery accepted the boots from Mrs. Cooper and placed them beside Elliot's feet."Now, all I need is a cap. I could even go somewhere where it's negative twenty degrees, let alone negative ten," grinned Elliot as he bent down to change his shoes. Avery pulled the hood ov
"Juliet, can you hear me?" Hearing her not speak, Isaac said louder, "Don't be afraid! Since I called you, it's surely because I don't want to harm you."Only when she heard Isaac's normal voice did she come to her senses. She furrowed her brows and said coldly, "Isaac, don't pretend to be mysterious. It's pointless.""I'm not trying to be mysterious. We'll meet tonight, and you'll find out what I need to tell you. Let's meet at the place we ate last night. My treat. How about that?" Isaac said. "Don't worry, I won't dare cause any trouble in public. By then, if you want to leave, you can leave anytime.""Let's see if I'm busy or not tonight!" Juliet did not want to talk to him, so she hung up.After she hung up, Isaac sent another message, [Tonight at seven. I'll be waiting for you.]Juliet placed her phone down. She had completely lost her appetite. She wondered about what Isaac had meant when he told her that someone was looking for her. Who was looking for her? Had she bee
The others who came to the rehearsal were Tammy, Tiffany, Shea, Rose, and Kiara.The children were on their winter break. They could play together every day.Lilith had arranged tasks for the children. They would be the flower children on her wedding day.The staff present instructed the children on what they should do, teaching them how to walk behind Lilith.Avery, Tammy, and Shea sat in the seats by the side, looking at their children and smiling emotionally."Lilith's gorgeous figure truly makes one envy," Tammy sighed when she saw Lilith in a gown walking past her. "Ben is truly lucky. If I was a man, I would want to marry a beauty like Lilith too.""Tammy, you're beautiful too! You're so beautiful, Jun is very lucky too!" said Shea sincerely."Shea, you sure know how to praise someone. Wesley must have rescued the entire milky way galaxy in his past life to be able to marry you." Tammy leaned on Shea's shoulder, looking up at Shea cheekily.Avery was just about to interru
"Honey, are you going to scold her? Don't yell at her. I'm not complaining about her. She must be sick of seeing me every day." Elliot defended Layla."What are you thinking? She's already so big, how could I scold her for such a small matter?" Avery could not help but smile. "Hand the phone to her!"Elliot was still worried. He asked, "What are you planning to say to her?""I'm just going to ask her to care more for her Daddy. Why can't I say that?" Avery asked."Sure, of course, you can. You still care for me the most." Elliot happily walked over to Layla.After passing the phone to Layla, Elliot stood next to her, trying to catch snatches of their conversation. "Layla, are you having fun today?" Avery gently asked.Layla smiled widely. Her tone was excited. "I'm happy! Mommy! I'm so happy today! It's so pretty! They just shot Uncle Eric skiing after the drone. Woo, woo. He looks so cool! Uncle Eric looks so handsome skiing!"Layla took the phone and jumped up and down in th
Tammy said, "Yes, I've had it before! But it was a long time ago. I can't really remember what it tastes like anymore."Lilith said, "Ben bought a lot of chickens. Go get some from our place later.""Your husband bought them for you. Why should I take them?" Tammy smiled."It's fine, Tammy. Take it. I'll get more once it finishes," Ben said distractedly. "Chicken soup helps with beauty and nourishes the skin."Tammy said, "But my skin is great! Ever since I changed my bad habit of staying up late at night, my skin got better.""Then, give it to Jun!" Ben felt that there were too many chickens at home, too. With Lilith's appetite, he wondered how long it would take her to finish them all."Can't you just buy less?" Tammy decided to help them."Isn't the chicken soup for menstruation? Would it be bad for Jun?" Lilith asked."What? Chicken soup helps with menstruation?" Tammy was a little surprised."If not, why would Ben buy so many chickens for me? I don't like taking medicatio
"Tiffany, when you look for a boyfriend in the future, you have to find one that listens to you," said Tammy, sharing her thoughts with Tiffany.Avery said, "Tammy, Tiffany is still young. Why are you talking to her about this?""You're right! Tiffany is still a little too young. Other than playing and eating, she doesn't think about anything else." Tammy ruffled Tiffany's head. Seeing how Tiffany's mouth was covered in food scraps, she gave Tiffany a tissue paper to wipe her mouth."Children at this age are all like this. You should be grateful that Tiffany is such a good girl. You haven't met naughty children. Those will give you a headache," said Avery, consoling Tammy."Is Robert naughty?" Tammy saw that Avery felt deeply about the matter, and she said, "But Robert is a good boy too!""I'm not talking about Robert. When we are out in public, we often see naughty children, right?""Oh, you meant those wild children! If my child goes while, I'll break their legs," Tammy said wi
Isaac immediately handed the menu to her. "Let's order first! You should be hungry at this hour.""Let's get straight to business instead!" Juliet pushed the menu away. "You said someone is looking for me. Who's looking for me?"Isaac took the menu, carelessly ordered a few signature dishes, and handed the menu to the waiter. After the waiter left, Isaac picked up the jug of water and calmly poured a glass of water for Juliet."Juliet, I can't tell you who it is for the time being. However, I can tell you how you were exposed." Isaac had long formulated a plan, so was calm and unhurried when he spoke.Juliet did not say anything. She calmly gazed into his eyes. Exposed?She was not aware of what had exposed her. "The scar on your wrist is not very common." Isaac pointed out the problem. "I don't understand what you have done, but I can tell you that the person who's looking for you is no ordinary person."After Juliet heard what he said, she immediately pulled her left hand
"I can fulfill your request, but I won't marry you." After Juliet thought about it for a moment, she said, "I'm not targeting you. I'm a person who doesn't want to get married. If you don't believe me, you can ask my boss.""Why are you not willing to get married?" Isaac asked as he was curious."Some people yearn to get married, but some just don't like the idea of marriage. There's no particular reason. I just don't like being tied to another person," Juliet said nonchalantly. "Besides, even if I did want to marry you, my parents would never allow me to marry someone from Aryadelle." Isaac smiled. "I have no intentions of marrying you. I'm not such an easy man either. I just like how you look. You are very beautiful, and you live up to my beauty standards." "I'm really unlucky," said Juliet, taking a dig at herself.The smile on Isaac's face disappeared. "Am I that bad for you to think so little of me?"Juliet said, "We aren't close, and I told you that I'm a person who does
