Chapter 2848
Avery had yet to hang up on the phone, so Layla heard what Elliot said.She had not mentioned that she was going to take her passport immediately, but since Elliot was determined to settle the matter, she had no excuse not to go to the mansion."Layla didn't even say that she is coming over right now," Avery said."Why not? Is she afraid of me?" Elliot asked calmly before taking his seat on the couch.Avery realized that he wanted to take the opportunity to speak to Layla and said, "Layla, if you are free right now, come over! Talk to your dad, and he will give you your passport. Your sister and I are going to shop for New Year's."Layla whined. "Mom, can't you just go later? I can call Ivy and tell her about it. Just go later!""Your dad wants to talk to you alone.""Alright! He won't lecture me, though, will he?""He's already agreed for you to move in with Eric, so why would he be against you getting married? Just be honest and sincere, and I'm sure he won't make it hard for

The bodyguard went ahead and opened the door for her.Before she could change into the slippers, she spotted Elliot sitting on the couch with Eric next to him and she froze."Why is Eric here?" She thought. "Did he come here on his own, or did Dad bring him here?""Dad," she said and swiftly changed into slippers before striding up to Eric. "Why are you here?""I told the driver to bring him here." Elliot glanced at the flowers in Layla's hands. "Who did you buy those for?"She presented the bouquet to him fawningly. "For you, of course. Dad, why did you bring him here?""You want your passport, right? You want to file the paperwork for your marriage, and you are not doing it alone." Elliot accepted the flowers and handed them to the servant.The servant immediately took them and left.Eric turned to look at Layla in surprise at Elliot's words. He clearly had no clue about Layla's plan until this moment"Why are you looking at me that way?" Layla met his eyes. "I said that we

Eric stilled sheepishly. "I didn't bring my wallet along."When Elliot sent his driver to fetch Eric, Eric thought that something horrible had happened and was in too much of a rush to take anything with him apart from his phone."Pay with my phone. Go with the driver, or the size might not be right." Eric handed his phone to Layla.Layla accepted his phone and tried to unlock the screen. "What's the password of your phone?" She asked with a blush on her face."Your birthday." Eric was blushing as well. "All the passwords of my accounts are your birthday. The ones that are four-digit will be the month and date of your birthday and the ones that have six digits are the year, month, and date of your birthday."Layla would not have been so shy if she were not in her parent's house.She ran outside with Eric's phone, and Elliot turned to stare at Eric. "When did you change all your passwords to my daughter's birthday?""After she moved in with me," Eric explained. "If something happ

"That's a peach tree." Avery noticed that Ivy was drawn to it and went into the store with Ivy."Mom, peach flowers don't bloom during this time of the year, right?" Ivy asked. "Is this fake? It looks real, though.""These are real peach blossoms," the owner explained. "You can take a closer look if you don't believe me. It smells great as well! We take care of it in a specific way so that it blooms in January, so it costs a little more."Avery did not ask about the price and simply inspected the tree. "I think it's real." She turned to look at Ivy. "If you like it, we will buy it."Ivy loved it but noticed that there was only one peach tree in the store and leaned over to whisper into Avery's ear, "I think Layla is going to love this."Avery turned to look at the tree once again and realized that Ivy was right."Mom, don't speak. Let me try to bargain with them," Ivy whispered and proceeded to ask the owner about the price.The owner noticed that both Ivy and Avery were dressed

"The owner's wife and kids were in the shop with him, weren't they?" Ivy still thought that the tree was too expensive. "If I didn’t think that Layla would like it, I wouldn't even pay seven hundred and seventy-seven for it.""Haha, your sister will be touched if she knows that you spent so much for her." Avery could tell how much Ivy cared about Layla."I wonder how the talk between Layla and Dad is going." Ivy was slightly worried. "He won't get mad at her, will he?"Avery shook her head. "I don't think so. Your dad is a good father. Even if he finds fault with his children's actions, he would never get angry.""I'm just worried that Dad might not give Layla her passport," Ivy said worriedly. "Layla has already moved in with Eric, so I don't see a point in stopping them from getting married.""You might think that, but your dad thinks differently. Your sister is far too reckless. Just because she is suddenly in the mood to get married, she insists on doing it today and didn't ev
Chapter 2853
Eric's house was not far from Elliot's mansion, so Layla could go home whenever she wanted.Elliot could not help but feel impressed by his wife and daughter when he saw how much they had brought in that small amount of time.They had bought more in past years, and many flowers and plants were delivered to Eric's house.Apart from plants, there were all sorts of light decorations and lanterns, along with colorful balloons and pumps.Elliot glanced at the things they bought and said, "Where are you going to hang the balloons?""In the living room, of course! We will style them to form the words 'Happy New Year' on the wall. Just imagine how festive that would look!" Avery said.Elliot nodded. "Indeed. Do you need my help pumping the balloons?""Sure! You can help with that and hang the lights on the plants," Avery said."Sure. You must be exhausted, right? You two should get some rest." Elliot picked up one of the pumps and started pumping balloons."I'm fine. Shopping with Ivy
Chapter 2854
Layla had posted a total of nine photos on her social media, consisting of her marriage certificate, her ring, a picture of herself standing under the peach blossoms, and photos she had taken with Eric in the past and present.Anyone would be excited and cheer with the couple as they went through the photos."Your sister has no fear of having these photos circulate the internet!" Avery hurried over and saw the post."Eric has retired, so it should be fine for others to find out about this, right?" Ivy beamed.She tried to put herself in Layla's shoes and knew that it would be upsetting to be with the man she loved without being able to announce their union to the world."It won't affect Eric, but it might affect Layla. Don't underestimate Eric's influence. If some of his fans stalk Layla, she will be in trouble," Avery said with a frown. "I will need to assign more bodyguards to Layla."Elliot nodded."Alright. Let's eat!" Avery was starving and turned to look at Robert. "How's

Elliot's assistant had called him and Tammy had called Avery. "Mr. Foster, Eric has announced his marriage to Ms. Layla on his personal social media account. A lot of our business partners are calling me to ask if it's true."Elliot's brow twitched.All he knew was that Layla had posted the photos on social media, and he had been unaware that Eric had done the same. "Let me check," Elliot said and minimized the call before opening his social media account to locate Eric's post.Eric had posted the exact same photos as Layla had, and the only difference was that Eric had attached a small message.[I'm married. I feel blessed because I've married a girl that I've loved for the longest time. Since my retirement, I've never wanted public attention, but I know that the press will report this even if I say nothing, so I decided to take the initiative and explain everything! My wife is not a part of the entertainment industry, but I'm sure that you have all heard of her before. I woul
