Elliot heard what Avery said. He looked at her with his deep-set eyes. "You are disappointed, aren't you?"
Avery smiled. "Only a little. | know that our children will eventually leave us."
"You don't have to view this matter so pessimistically. They are not leaving us. They are finishing what they are meant to do on this earth.”
"When Layla leaves us, | hope that you will be this open-minded as well." Hearing what Avery said, the calm immediately vanished from Elliot's face.
That evening, Lilith brought what she had purchased back to Ben's luxurious mansion.
Lilith was staying at his place at the moment. Initially, she had been a little embarrassed about moving in, but later, when Ben left for Bridgedale,
Ben's parents called Lilith over to stay with them, so that they could look out for each other. Lilith could not convince them otherwise, so she officially
moved in.
To Lilith, the only issue with marrying Ben was the children she had to bear him. She did not have trouble with her in-laws, as they had always been
polite and they loved her very much.

First, she was Elliot's sister. Second, her career was taking off at the moment. Even if she did not rely on Ben, she could still live well.
One could say that Ben would never meet another young and pretty wife that suited him if he missed his chance with her.
Ben's parents were extremely satisfied with Lilith.
"Lilith, why didn't you get Ben to go shopping with you? You're carrying so many things. I'm sure you must be exhausted, right?" Helen immediately
went over to help Lilith with her bags.
"| went shopping with Tammy today. Tammy didn't take her husband along, so | was a little shy talking Ben along." Lilith took the things she bought for
Ben's parents out. "Is Ben back yet?"
"He is! He's upstairs! At first, | thought of waiting for you so that we might have dinner together, but Ben said you were eating out, so we didn't wait for
you."
"I had dinner with Tammy. Aunt Helen, I'll go up and see him." Lilith wanted to tell Ben about the plan that Tammy and her had cup with.
When she went upstairs, she saw Ben coming out of his study. They bumped into each other.
Ben looked at her and quickly ended the call.
"Lilith, both of you were out late shopping, so what did you buy?"
"Clothes, shoes, and bags!" Lilith casually brushed his comment off. She pulled Ben into his study. "Ben, | want to talk to you!"
"What is it? Why are you being so secretive?" Ben noticed how guarded she looked, and his curiosity was roused.
Lilith was young. She could not keep anything in her heart. She was normally direct and would blurt out anything that was on her mind. She could no
longer stand the suspense of keeping the secret to herself.
"The wedding that your parents had planned for us, why don't we have Elliot and Avery get married instead? The last tthey got married, my father

Ben was stunned.
Although it was alright to throw Elliot and Avery a wedding, Ben felt that Elliot might look down on the wedding his parents planned.
"I know you would surely agree to it, but your parents—"
"Lilith, are you thinking straight?" Ben adjusted his glasses. "Tammy cup with this idea, right?"
Lilith nodded.
"This Tammy! How bold of her to think of this!" Ben chuckled.
"We won't tell Elliot and Avery about it. We will only tell them about it on the day of the wedding ." Lilith measured Ben's expression.
"If that is the case, it would be quite fun," Ben said and nodded. "I have no objections.”
