Hayden said, "I'm equally close to all of my classmates."Avery thought for a while before saying, "Then, let's invite them all! After all, your class isn't that big."Layla exclaimed, "Oh yeah! It's more fun with more people!"Hayden saw how happy Layla was. He could not bear to burst her bubble.After Eric left, Avery and Mike set the first draft of the guest list."Avery. Chad would surely want to come. You have to invite Jun too. If we invite Ben and only not invite Elliot, will he feel that we are deliberately picking on him?" Mike offered his opinion, "Why don't we not invite Ben too?"Avery's temples hurt.It was initially a happy occasion, but because of her relationship with Elliot, it became so painful."I'll let you handle this!" Avery said and left to see the children.Mike sent a message to Chad, explaining the situation to him and asking for his opinion.[Chad: Mr. Foster said that he doesn't want to get entangled with her only because he did not want to annoy h

[Chad: You'll be fine.][Ben: You can do it.][Elliot: Yes!][Jun: Thank you for being here for me. I feel much better now. Tammy seemed to have stopped crying. Avery sure is great.]Suddenly, everyone stopped chatting.[Jun: What's going on? Has Avery become a banned topic? It's unnecessary, no? Even if she has split up with Elliot, we are still friends!][Chad: Good night.][Ben: Good night.][Elliot: Hmm. @Jun][Jun: Elliot, I'll go to check on Tammy. Rest well.]Jun sent the message and placed his phone down. He walked over to the bedroom.In the bedroom, Avery and Tammy lay in bed. They were chatting in soft tones with each other, as close as sisters.Jun immediately left the room and gently closed the door. Since Tammy and Avery were extremely close, no matter how badly Elliot and Avery fought, Jun was always a little biased toward Avery.Although Tammy was quite spoiled, she was kind. Since she could be so close to Avery, that meant that Avery was also a kind woman.

Mrs. Cooper thought for a while before replying, "For a few years already. When I started working for the Fosters, I was not even thirty years old yet! I'm already forty-five. I can retire in about five years.""Mrs. Scarlet has worked there longer than you?""Yes! She used to care for Madam Rosalie. Later, when Elliot and Shea were born, she helped take care of them," Mrs. Cooper said, "I heard this from Mrs. Scarlet.""Elliot told me about the incident when he was young," Avery was a little depressed, so she wanted to talk about it with someone. "I never thought that he would be so depressed when he was young.""What did he tell you?" Mrs. Cooper said in surprise."Hmm, he came clean and told me everything." Avery looked at Mrs. Cooper. "So that I won't misunderstand him again."Mrs. Cooper suddenly choked up. "Avery, don't blame him for telling you this only now. It was so hard for him to have his achievements today. God must have pitied him, which cured him of the mental cond

Elliot came out of his office to look for Ben. Coincidentally, Ben was about to call him for lunch too."Has Avery invited you?" Elliot asked him."Are you talking about the children's birthday party? Not yet!" Ben asked, "Has she invited you already?"Elliot shook his head."It's fine. It's half a month more to go! By then, she would surely inform us," Ben said confidently, "Even if she doesn't invite you, she would surely invite me. After all, we have cleared the air between us."Elliot did not retort. He was only confused. "I didn't fight with her. Why did she not invite me?"Ben said, "Although you two didn't fight as seriously as in the past, your problems are still serious! She can't accept you. You won't want to deal with her being unappreciative too.""Can you stop with your nonsense?" Elliot furrowed his brows.Ben pouted and changed the topic. "Should we go buy the children's presents in the afternoon?""Hmm." It was easier to pick a present for Layla. It was more ch

The car window rolled down and Mike's face appeared in front of them."Hey! You two! What are you doing in front of the office? Sunbathing?" Mike teased, "It's almost lunch. I suggest that you two find a restaurant to sit down and slowly fight it out. It's bad to fight in front of the office."Avery's expressions turned a little colder.Elliot said, "Lunch?"Avery replied, "I'm not having it with you." Then, she turned around and headed back to the office.Mike honked and said to Elliot, "Buy me lunch!"Elliot swept him a cold glance and planned to leave."Buy me lunch and I'll bring back lunch for Avery too!" Mike called out after him. Elliot stopped in his tracks.They found a restaurant nearby and sat down. Mike ordered food for Avery and wrote her number down. He got the waiter to directly deliver it to her.Elliot furrowed his brows. "You're exposing her privacy!"Mike tutted. "Avery always orders from here!"Elliot was speechless."Do you think that everyone is like y
