"Why don't we see what the kids think?" Avery said. "What we want isn't the most important thing. You can make all the calls if we were traveling alone."Elliot could not argue with her point."Let's wait for Hayden to come back and see what he thinks, then." Elliot compromised. "Has he bought his ticket? When will he arrive? I will go pick him up."Spotting the excitement on Elliot's face, Avery chuckled. "He hasn't given me his flight details yet! He will let me know once he has booked the tickets."Meanwhile, in Bridgedale, Hayden was on a video call with Tammy.Tammy had called him normally first, but, after learning that he was free, she had hung up and called back on a video call instead."Hayden, your dad can't stop thinking about going outside these days. That won't do. He can go anywhere anytime he wants—just not on Christmas. They don't know that they are getting a wedding on Christmas day, so they aren't prepared for it! All preparations have been completed by us, and

"You are right," Elliot said."If I'm doing alright, can I go to work? It's too boring to stay home. Let me walk around the office?""The kind of walking around where you don't come back?" Avery teased. "You go ahead if you really want to work that badly!""What about you?" Concerned that she would be bored, he proposed, "Why don't you come work with me? I can arrange whatever position you want for you. It would be nice if we could go to work together every single day!"Avery felt chills down her spine at his suggestion."I love you, Elliot, but I'm really not interested in your work. You can go to work if you want to! Don't worry about me. I have my own plans," she said."Okay. Send me to the office now, then."Avery chuckled. "You really can't wait another second, can you?""I've been resting for too long." Elliot beamed at the thought of returning to work. "Time passes so slowly if I don't work. A person needs a job. It gives you a—""Alright, alright. Some people just enjoy

"Natalie, have you gotten your hands on the Jennings's money?" Holly asked.Natalie took a deep breath and sneered, "No. They kicked me out of their game. It's embarrassing, really. It took me a whole day, and I still haven't managed to wrap my head around this."Holly was shocked, as she had never imagined Natalie to fail. From her perspective, Natalie was too smart and vicious for that."I know that you won't work with me anymore because I don't have money for you. Making ends meet for me is going to be a problem from now on... I thought that killing Dean Jennings would mean that I would get to live my life in peace, but life is still as hellish as it ever was." Natalie sighed pathetically."Are you trying to play the victim here?" Holly mocked. "Do you really think you're suffering worse than I am? You have no idea what kind of life I'm living right now.""Didn't I pay you a large sum of money? It should have been sufficient for you to live in any country you want," Natalie sai

Holly thought about it for a moment before agreeing."Holly, can you tell me about the lead you found? I can look for Ivy with you." Natalie wanted something solid. "You don't have to be too specific about it.""I've managed to get in touch with my friends in Ylore, and I've told them that, if I find Ivy, I will tell Elliot to get them all out of there, so one of them gave me a lead. It's not that much..." She trailed off. She would have found Ivy by now had the lead she had been given been more detailed."Now I really need to know," Natalie said eagerly. "Just tell me, Holly! We can look for her together. If I find Ivy, you will have a share of whatever I get as well. We are in the same boat now. If you say a few bad things about me in front of Elliot, he won't even give me a penny."Convinced, Holly proceeded to say, "The person who bought Ivy had a scar on their wrist.""What kind of scar? Like a birthmark or a wound?""Like the kind you get from cutting your own wrist."Nata

Avery shot Tammy a look and glanced at Mike, before looking back at her and asked, "Tammy, why won't you let Mike speak? He wasn't saying anything!"Tammy scratched her head sheepishly. "I..." She desperately wanted to look for an excuse, but couldn't think of one.Mike immediately came to her rescue. "Tammy probably didn't want to risk having me say anything bad. Tomorrow is Christmas and it will be a brand new year soon, so we are supposed to celebrate.""Yeah! That's what I meant." Tammy flushed. "Mike can never keep his mouth shut. You say that all the time too, right?"Embarrassed, Avery said, "even if I say that to you in private, you don't have to repeat that out loud in front of him. He's sensitive...""He's sensitive? I can't tell." Tammy turned to look at Mike with surprise written all over her face. "Mike, are you sensitive? Men shouldn't be too sensitive, you know?""How am I sensitive? I have the mind of steel, okay?" Mike argued and everyone burst out laughing.The

After all, the doctors had mentioned that it was extremely difficult for her to get pregnant."Tammy, I can't give birth either," Shea said."That's why I'm asking Lilith to do it! Robert is the only boy among kids his age here, so I'm just concerned that he would grow up to be more like a girl." Tammy didn't care that she couldn't give birth again, since she was content with having Tiffany."Girls are nice. They are more gentle! Isn't it a good thing for Robert to be gentle? He already has a kind heart. Boys like that will get a lot of admirers." Lilith still didn't want a son. "I want a girl, so he's going to be surrounded by four girls.""Lilith, I don't think kids turn out to be the gender you want simply because you want it that way. Just let things run their courses," Avery said, before turning to Tammy with a smile. "Besides, I do agree with Lilith. Robert will grow up to be gentle if he grows up around girls. I love him no matter how he turns out. As far as admirers go, tha

His family and friends rarely messaged him at odd hours unless it was an urgent matter, however, it didn't seem to be the case.He opened the messages and saw wishes after wishes.[Happy wedding, Elliot!][Mr. Foster, happy wedding! Congratulations!][Elliot, congratulations on your big day!]...Elliot blushed at all the messages he received and decided that he must be dreaming.He had a wedding with Avery before and though they divorced one another before, they had the ceremony once.Thinking that he was dreaming, he set his phone down and went back to sleep.Avery did not notice Elliot's movement at all, because her phone started ringing and she went into the bathroom to answer the call from Tammy.It was only six in the morning, so Avery thought that perhaps Tammy was having issues getting in.She answered the call and Tammy immediately said, "Avery, it's time to wake up. Are you two going to wake up on your own, or do I have to come in?"Confused, Avery said, "what's w

How could he possibly go back to sleep?He tossed the blanket away and got out of bed. "She was acting odd since last night. I knew it." Elliot grabbed his robe and strode towards the door.Avery instinctively wanted to follow him, but remembered about the dressing gown that Tammy had mentioned and turned to look for it inside her closet.'Dressing gown...' She thought. 'Aren't dressing gowns traditionally worn on the day of a wedding? If Tammy is asking me to put it on... Could it be that... they are trying to film a wedding documentary or something?!'Her previous wedding with Elliot had been disrupted by Nathan White, so there weren't any videos of the ceremony.Avery came to a realization that her best friend had planned a surprise for her. However, she would much prefer going back to sleep than to receive said surprise. Naturally, she wouldn't ignore Tammy's effort as she appreciated it all the same.She put on the dressing gown Lilith bought for her and hurried to the door.
