"I was the one who had asked Layla to consider this," said Hayden, looking at Elliot. "She is still sad because of Eric's rejection. She is still sad because she has not found anyone better.""Hayden is right." Avery had accepted the situation. "Layla has been sheltered since she was a child. All the people she knows are all the people she grew up with. It's hard for her to form any feelings for them.""Avery, I'm not against Layla's decision. I'm against her doing it now. She's only twenty-four. Do we need to be in such a rush? She is still young. Let her work for a few more years. Once she is more mature, perhaps she could naturally meet a suitable partner," said Elliot, voicing out his thoughts.At that, everyone looked at him. Layla was about to be 25 years old, yet he still called her young…If Layla was still young, what was Tiffany at 17 years old? Was she a child in kindergarten then?Layla picked up her glass and took a sip. She said calmly, "According to my father, it'

After Layla got up, Elliot immediately got up from his chair without thinking. He planned to walk over to have a heart-to-heart chat with his daughter.Avery held him back.Elliot had a rather stubborn and traditional view of Layla searching for a partner. If he were to talk to Layla, it might only make matters worse."Elliot, why don't you eat? I'll go talk to Layla." Lilith took a sip of water before following Layla out."It's better to let Lilith go. Did you know that when I spoke to Layla, she used Lilith and Ben as an example of a couple with a large age gap?" Avery said to Elliot. "I'm not completely against her being together with Eric. It's mainly that Eric has already made up his mind…""Honey, I hope you can be firmer in your decision, just like when you chose me back then," said Elliot, stilling Avery's wavering thoughts. "Elliot, I know that you don't like it that Eric is older—""That's not the only thing that I don't like." At that moment, Layla was not there, so
Chapter 2551
Ben initially wanted to name his son Summer, but Lilith thought that Summer sounded like a girl's name. If they were to name their son Summer, then surely the other children would laugh at him when he entered school. So, Lilith took matters into her own hands and added the name Harrod when they wrote down their son's birth certificate, thus he became Harrod Summer Schaffer.Ben chose Summer because his son was born on the hottest day of summer.Lilith added Harrod because when he was born, he had extremely fine hair like a monkey's, which was why his nickname was Harry.When Lilith saw the hairy baby, she was in so much distress that she cried. Already, she did not like the idea of having a son. She wanted a daughter. Therefore it was one thing to not get the gender that she wanted, but it was another thing for the baby to be stunningly ugly, too.The doctor consoled her, saying that the child would grow up to be very handsome and the hair on his body would drop off too.Other t

Lilith said without hesitation, "Of course, there are regrets, but we have to accurately decide on what defines regret. If I had magic powers, I would surely want your uncle Ben to be twenty years old. It's best if he could always be twenty-something, to be always energetic and motivated. That way he could always care for me and Harry."Layla looked at Lilith, not interrupting her."It used to bug me that your Uncle Ben was much older than me. Especially, when I was about to marry him. It always made me unhappy that he was older than I was. But then, everyone talked some sense into me, and I came to accept it. I might have regrets marrying him, but I never regretted that decision.""Why is that?" Layla asked."We only live for a few decades. To be able to have one or two things to be proud of, to have a person or two in your heart, that would be a life lived without any regrets. Your Uncle Ben is not a perfect person, but he loves me enough. His tolerance and love for me are more t

"Aryadelle? You and your grandmother are from Aryadelle?" Lucas was a little surprised."No. Grandma and I are from Ylore."Lucas was even more stunned. "You guys are Ylorean, yet you all lived in a church up on a hill in Aryadelle. Now, you're living in Taronia. Did your grandmother take you around the world to work?"Irene suddenly did not know how to explain her situation to Lucas.After all, she also did not understand many things that happened when she was young. She would do what her grandmother had asked her to do. Wherever the old woman had gone, she had taken Irene with her. Seeing Irene stunned and unable to reply, Lucas asked, "Do you have relatives in Ylore?"Irene shook her head. "I don't know. Actually, I have never been to Ylore. I was born there, but ever since I could remember, I was never in Ylore.""Then, why don't you head to Ylore to have a look?" Lucas did not want to see her that miserable, so he said, "Go and look for your relatives. What if you still ha

Lucas only said so because he felt that no matter how well Irene did in her studies after she graduated, she would surely be unable to find a better job.He thought so because of the scar on her face. 99% of the companies would not accept her.Irene also understood that Lucas was giving her this job offer out of kindness. After all, Lucas did not bother talking to others, but he was usually more talkative when he was with her. "Mr. Lucas, when I graduate and if we are still in contact, we can talk about it. It's still early!" Irene smiled to hide her awkwardness. "What about you? What do you want to major in college?"Irene wanted to tell him that it would be impossible for him to spend the family's money on retaining a servant, such as, her after he graduated, but she held her tongue. She was afraid that Lucas might get angry."When I'm in college, you'll know about it." Lucas soon finished his pear.Irene thought for a while and said, "Then, you have to keep in touch once you'

"I…" Irene blushed. "I have my teacher as my friend.""Amazing. You have one friend on the messaging app." Lucas took a jab at her."You're amazing now, too. You also have one friend." Irene's face was suddenly burning. "Mr. Lucas, you take good photos of me. If I upload it on my feed, would you give it a like?""… Don't push your luck."Irene said, "Alright! I was just casually mentioning it, don't take it too seriously. If you don't like it, it's fine. I'll like it."After sending herself the photos, she returned Lucas' phone to him.She held her phone and started editing her post in front of Lucas.After uploading the photos, she captioned them. [First time at the amusement park. I'm really happy.]After uploading it, she liked her own post.Lucas saw how pathetic it was, so he donated a like to her.Seeing Lucas' like, Irene happily said, "Mr. Lucas, I thought you said that you're not going to like it?""I'll like it if I want to.""In the future, I'll also like your po

Rose would ask this question every year.Every year, the answer she got was a negative one."I wonder how she is doing." Rose sighed worriedly. "I thought that she would call me, but she never called me at all.""So many years have passed. She has a new life now," said the nun, comforting her. "If you are destined to meet, you will meet again one day.""Hmm."Layla bought a couple of lucky charms from the church. She gave one each to her parents. She kept one for herself, and the remaining two she bought for Hayden and Robert. "Mom, what did you wish for this year? I wished for health and peace in our family," Layla said.Avery said, "My wish every year is the same."Layla said, "I know what you wished for. To find Ivy, isn't it?"Avery shook her head. "My wish is that our family will be happy and safe. Your father's wish is to find Ivy. We wish for different things."Layla was speechless.Avery said, "We're afraid that if we're too greedy, God won't approve of it."Layla
