"Darling, we don't hate Eric. Your dad and I saw him not long ago! People just drift apart from time to time. It's normal so don't read too much into it." Avery tapped Layla on the shoulder. "We haven't been as close as we were before you asked him out.""I thought that was because he was busy. He has retired and isn't as busy..." Layla did not wish for Eric to drift apart from her family since he occupied a major part of her childhood."He hasn't reached out to us! Layla, you have to understand that maybe he hasn't contacted us because he needs some time alone. We will never hate him, and if he ever needs help, we won't hesitate to help. Likewise, I'm sure he will do the same for us when we need help as well. But there's no point in contacting him when there's nothing important to say."Layla understood what Avery was saying, but she still felt upset, likely because Eric was one of the very people that she truly cared about.After lunch, Layla pulled Elliot outside. It was the hot

"I'm good at taking photos, too!" Mike protested."Forget it! Wesley is a professional when it comes to taking photos!" Chad felt that the task was best entrusted to the person who did it best.Wesley waved his hand in dismissal. "I'm an amateur as well, so Mike should do it! I've seen your photos when you travel, and they all turned out great!""See? Wesley said I'm good at it!" Mike said smugly.Chad shot him a glare. "I might as well just take it myself!""Uncles, just stop fighting! Let me do it!" Tiffany came over and snatched the camera from Chad. "If you are all amateurs, there's no point in arguing! I'm the head of the photography club at my school!" she said before pointing the camera at the Foster family and snapping the photo.Once it was done, the others hurried over to see it."Not bad, Tiffany! You did great!" Mike complimented.Wesley agreed once he saw the photo.Tiffany chuckled. "Everyone in that family is so good-looking that I can keep my eyes closed, and t

Avery's head began to hurt as soon as she thought about this.Her children would not walk down the path that she had laid down for them, and since she and Elliot had gotten married late in life, she could not ask Hayden to marry early either. She knew that none of her children would ever settle for less, and marriage seemed insignificant if they could not find the one. "I don't think Hayden needs a psychiatrist. He seems normal to me. Elliot was the same way before, right? Work means everything because he hasn't found someone he likes! Once he finds that person, he might transform into a puppy as Elliot did..."Avery came close to vomiting when she heard the word 'puppy'."Avery, do you think you are going to be a good mother-in-law?" Tammy asked.Avery had not considered this question in the past because Hayden had never shown any interest in romantic relationships; she would have at least given it some thought if Hayden had brought home a woman."I don't think that I would i

"I see! Hayden, what do you think?" Robert turned to Hayden."I think your sister has to be insane to buy a place like this."Both Robert and Layla were rendered speechless."I think it's a nice place! Why would you think that she is insane?" Ivy asked in confusion. "There is plenty of natural light, and she chose the right floor. It's not too far high up, and you can still enjoy the view. Most importantly, you can see Layla's office from the balcony." Ivy proceeded to list all the things she liked about the apartment.Elliot glanced at Ivy with a gentle look on his face, and Hayden was silenced completely.Avery chuckled. "Your dad and brother have never lived in a place this size before, that's why they don't like it. They've never suffered in their lives. They are just picky.""But this is Layla's apartment. All that matters is whether she likes it!" Ivy mumbled."That's right, Ivy! I am moving out to be independent, not to have fun." Layla walked over, threw an arm around Iv

"I've been to Edelweiss a few years ago," Layla said.Ivy's ears immediately perked up. "Layla, was it fun? What does Edelweiss look like?""I was also there to see the aurora, but I was not that lucky. I couldn't see them," Layla said, "I only went to its most northern city. I went there just to see the aurora. The night that I left, the aurora appeared. I was infuriated to death."Ivy could not help but smile."I don't have much of an impression on Edelweiss, because I was there for not very long. I have traveled to many countries before. Basically, I rarely have any situation where I can't adapt to the place. Unfortunately, that time when I went to Edelweiss, I had a high fever of almost forty degrees. I could barely eat anything." Layla thought about that encounter and she still felt chills running down her back.She was in good health from a young age. She rarely had a fever. That time in Edelweiss, it must be because of the food there. First, she vomited, and after that, s

"That's because you two rarely meet later on."Ivy looked at her parents bickering, she spoke up at the right time, "Daddy, I think you're extremely nice. If you don't want to suffer, then don't do it! This is the way! Everyone has people that they like and don't like. I won't dislike you just because you don't like Uncle Mike.""I don't dislike Uncle Mike. If I really don't like him, why would I let him get close to you all? Many years ago, he was very close to your mother, so there was a time when I didn't like him, but later on, I rarely quarrel with him anymore," Elliot explained to Ivy."Daddy, even if you don't explain it to me, I still like you," Ivy made Elliot swallow whatever he wanted to say next.He blushed rather embarrassingly.Ivy was so direct in expressing her feelings. It caught him a little off guard, yet he was secretly delighted."See, I told you. Your daughter won't despise you. Everyone has some issues!" Avery folded the clothes that Ivy was going to take w

She picked up her spoon, scooped up a chunk of meat, and took a bite. She instantly choked on the spice.She tossed the spoon and hastily poured herself a glass of water."Why is this so spicy? Did I put in too much pepper?" she mumbled to herself.The stew smelled perfect, but it was far too spicy for Layla's liking.She was used to the lighter flavors of meals at home, and though she would occasionally dine out with her friends, she could only tolerate food that was mildly spicy.After finishing her water, she sat back down in her chair and thought of ways to get rid of the spice. Finally, she placed a bowl of water next to her and submerged the meat in the water to wash off some of the spices, so that she would not choke again, before taking another bite.Just then, her phone started ringing.It was a video call from Avery, and Layla immediately answered it."Darling, I saw the photos you posted. Are you having stew tonight?" Avery asked."Yeah, Mom! Let me show it to you."

Ivy replied immediately. [Make less next time, Layla. You have to be mindful of the portion. If you cook a smaller portion, it will not be as tiring.][I think I'm just going to order food tomorrow.] Layla replied.Ivy replied with a laughing emoji.[Mom video called me just now and already I feel homesick. I want to go home! But I can't! I've already bought the apartment, and I can't just go home!] Layla typed.[Layla, just watch a movie or something. You will get used to it.][Yeah, you are way more independent than I am. Are you departing tomorrow?][Yeah, my plane takes off tomorrow morning. I need to go to sleep earlier than usual tonight.][Rest well, then! Remember to let me know once you arrive in Edelweiss.][Of course!]Layla lay on the couch for a while before dragging her feet to the bathroom for a shower, fully intending to follow her sister's advice and watch a movie later.At eleven, when Layla was halfway through the movie, her stomach began to twist and knot.
