"What's there to worry about? Your husband knows I'm fine." Ben glanced casually at Elliot."He did mention that you were fighting." Seeing that the conflict was resolved, Avery smiled and said, "the ceremony is starting soon. Let's go take our seats!""Will Elliot walk Shea down the aisle?""Adrian will. Adrian is her real brother, after all!" She explained, "we want Adrian to know that he is needed.""Oh. I saw Hayden spending a lot of time with Adrian today." Ben scanned the crowd to look for Hayden and as expected, found him sitting next to Adrian and the two were talking to one another."Hayden cares for Adrian. Didn’t Lilith buy Adrian a drawing pad? Adrian didn't know how to use it and Hayden took the time to watch tutorials online to teach him," Avery said and immediately realized that she had accidentally mentioned Lilith."I was the one who told Lilith to get that drawing pad." Reminded of the bitter past, Ben asked, "how are things between her and that postgraduate stu

Elliot was standing next to Ben, and when Ben moved away, he immediately walked over to grab the bouquet.Usually, people would be fighting over the bride's bouquet and Elliot did not want Shea's wedding to be an exception. He caught it and before anyone realized what had happened, he handed it directly to Ben.Ben refused it without hesitation, and the two were on the verge of getting into a fight over the bouquet.Hayden felt utterly humiliated. They were both adults and were acting more childish than elementary school students. He immediately went over in an attempt to get them to stop.Just then, Ben spotted him from the corner of his eyes and swiftly shoved the bouquet into Hayden's hands."Hayden, you are old enough now. Don't just focus on your studies and get a girlfriend already. I'm sure that dating won't interfere with your studies!" Ben deadpanned. "'Besides, if you have a girlfriend, she can help in taking care of your younger brother. Now that you have your Aunt Shea

"Avery, have you been in the bathroom this whole time?" He strode up to her and grabbed her by the arm. "Layla said she couldn't find you anywhere and was about to burst into tears."Avery realized how much he loved her once again at how worried he seemed."My stomach felt weird. Where's Layla?" She had completely forgotten about the time in the bathroom."She twisted her ankle while looking for you, so she is waiting in her room right now." Elliot took her to Layla's room. "What's wrong with your stomach?""I think it's because I ate something spicy at noon and my stomach couldn't handle it." She made up an excuse and asked, "How badly did she twist her ankle?""The doctor checked and said it's okay," he said. "Do you need some medicine?""It's fine. I'll just have something plain for dinner." Worried about Layla, she asked, "Why didn't Layla call me if she was looking for me?""You don't have your phone with you." Elliot took her phone out of his pocket. "She was looking aroun

"Avery was upset with me giving the child the Foster name. I guess she won't see me as a friend anymore." Ben was reminded of the angry look on Avery's face.Elliot could not respond to Ben's words. When he walked out of Ben's room, he felt like his entire body was on fire. Everything he had done so far seemed wrong. The pain never ceased, and the same thing would happen over and over again in the future."Elliot! What are you doing, standing here?" Mike walked out of the washroom and was confused by Elliot's dazed look. "Are you sad that Shea is getting married? No way! Are you that sentimental?"Elliot shoved Mike's hand off his shoulder. "Avery looked off and told me that she had a stomachache. She was lying to me. If I tell you that I'm sad because Shea is getting married, I'd be lying to you as well."The casual look on Mike's face was replaced by a serious look. "What is going on with the two of you? Today is Shea and Wesley's big day, can't you two keep it together? Aren't y

Avery was shocked by his words."Elliot, I've never wanted you to kill that child. That thought has never occurred to me, past or present." She grabbed onto his hands tightly. "I won't let you commit murder.""I know you won't make me do it..." Elliot swallowed hard and stared at her with reddened eyes. "Avery, I will do anything for you because I know that you love me above everything.""Of course I do, Elliot. I was just upset this morning. I've always known that she would give birth and raise her child, before coming to look for you. I should have come to terms with that long ago, and it's not okay that I keep getting mad over it," she whispered."Avery, thank you for accepting me.""You don't have to thank me, Elliot, because you love me just as much," she said confidently. "No one can pull us apart. I am going to spend the rest of my life with you, and in the end, we will be buried next to one another.""I feel the same," he agreed affectionately as he pulled her into his ar
