"Okay. | won't leave you and the children in the future." Elliot's teasing stopped there.
"Pinky swear!" Avery held out her little finger like a kid.
He froze for a moment and did a pinky promise with her.

"How does Monday sound?" "Okay." She did not want to drag it any further.
When she was in Ylore, Ruby reminded her more than once that a couple was only legally married if they got a certificate.
Weddings meant nothing without it.
As a result, Avery was fanatically obsessed with getting the marriage certificate.
At the hospital, Jun's mother Hilda had been hospitalized due to her high blood pressure and Jun had been caring for her in the hospital.
It was the first tshe has asked him to be beside her and take care of her.
She had been hospitalized several times before, but she always told him to work hard and not let her condition affect her life.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn that occasion, she was admitted to the hospital because of her overwhelming anger toward Tammy. She would not be able to swallow her anger easily unless that matter was resolved.
"Mom, the doctor spoke toearlier and said that your blood pressure is still high," Jun sat in the chair beside the hospital bed and chatted with his mother. "I was told to persuade you to calm down and for you to avoid thinking of unhappy stuff, otherwise it'll be detrimental to your body if your blood pressure continues to stay high." Hilda sneered. "It's not like | want to get angry. Do you think I'm that eager to pass on?" "That's not what | meant, Mom..." "I can understand if Tammy doesn't listen tobecause she's not my daughter. | don't feel happy for her either. However, you are my son, and you have to listen to me." "I took care of you in the hospital, didn't I? | haven't contacted Tammy in almost a week." Jun was unhappy but he did not dare to express his dissatisfaction.
"Why do you need to contact her? Everything was agreed upon in the beginning, >e,:YNR< then she decided to change all of a sudden. She doesn't have an iota of respect for the Hertzs," Hilda snickered. "I think this is all her plan. She just wants to borrow your seed to continue the Lynchs' lineage." Jun sighed helplessly. "You're free to think whatever you think, Mom. But like it or not, Tammy is pregnant with my baby now..." "Pregnancies happen all the time. Any random woman on the street can have your baby. You're healthy. You can knock just about anyone up." Jun was silent because he felt that his mother viewed him as a mere tool to produce offspring.
After a while, the door to the ward was pushed open.
As soon as Hilda saw who was coming in, she said enthusiastically, "Jun, this is Mrs. Pearce, the woman | told you about earlier. And this is her daughter. Just call her Hannah." Jun immediately greeted Mrs. Pearce and Hannah.
Tammy found out about it about two hours later, and surging anger immediately replaced the anger in her heart! It never crossed her mind that Jun would have a blind date behind her back with sother young woman inside the hospital ward! It had gone overboard! On Monday morning, Avery and Elliot dressed up and went to the Civil Registry Office.
After getting in the car, Avery asked. "Have you brought all the documents?" "What else do we need other than the family register and our identification cards?" Elliot asked rhetorically.
"I'll check online..." "You don't have to check." Elliot held Avery's little hand. "We can still get the certificate even if we forgot sdocuments. Heck, we can still get it even if the sky falls."
