Avery naturally laughed along. "I did, indeed, wake up a little early today. Why does one need to get up so early for marriage? How nice it would be if I could sleep until I woke up naturally." "Avery, I was worried about that, too. I even discussed it with Ben. He said I could sleep until I woke up naturally, but then the wedding ceremony would have to be pushed back a little later. But, as long as we inform the guests beforehand, it should be alright," Lilith said.

"You two are getting married for the first time. You could make it livelier." "I'll go with Ben's parents' arrangements. If other brides can get up early, how embarrassing would it be if I could not? Also, I should be quite excited on the wedding day, right? I'm guessing that, even if no one wakesup, I wouldn't be able to sleep very much," Lilith said with a smile. "If we were to tell you yesterday that you were getting married today, I'm guessing you wouldn't have gotten much sleep either." "That's true. I'm not sleepy right now actually. I'm just a little nervous. This happened so suddenly." "A surprise would surely be sudden!" Lilith was overjoyed. Ben entered with a bag, handing out chocolates and tips to the staff. Avery reached her hands out to Ben. "I want schocolates, too." "Didn't you have breakfast?" Ben grabbed schocolates for her. "It's still too early for the luncheon! I'll go get you sbreakfast. You must have breakfast." "Go give it to Elliot! I'm guessing he has not eaten either." Avery unwrapped a chocolate and put it in her mouth. "I'll get Lilith to helpget sfood." "Okay." Ben and Lilith left the room and headed to the kitchen to get sfood.
The moment they were in the kitchen, a delicious aroma wafted up their noses.
"Mrs. Cooper, what are you cooking? Why does it smell so tasty?" Lilith had already had breakfast that morning, but she had not eaten much. After smelling the delicious aroma, she was hungry again.
"Corn chowder. It's almost ready. Do you want a bowl?" Mrs. Cooper smiled and took a bowl out of the cabinet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, please. I love corn chowder." Ben reminded her, "We're here to grab breakfast for Elliot and Avery. Bring the breakfast to them first. They must be starving." Mrs. Cooper said, "You two stay here and have schowder. I'll send it to them. I was about to send them breakfast anyway. I was waiting for the chowder." "Mrs. Cooper, you are so thoughtful," Lilith praised. "No wonder Elliot respects you so much." "Lilith, respect goes both ways.
Master Elliot treatswell, which is why I've been able to work here for such a long time," Mrs. Cooper said sagely It's the swith how you treat your elders. If you treat them well, they won't make things difficult for you." "Are you talking about my in-laws?" Lilith chuckled. "You surely haven't met them yet. They are quite old, and they treatvery well. You'd know it just by looking at how old Ben is..." "That's because your in-laws are nice people. Mean people will still be mean, even in their old age." Mrs. Cooper scooped two bowls of soup out for them. "I have never met your in-laws, but I'm familiar with Ben. Ben is a great man. If Ben wasn't a great man, Elliot would not have let you marry him." "Ben is alright! But he is not Elliot," Lilith said honestly while picking up her bowl of corn chowder.
Ben was speechless.
"Of course, I am not Avery either." Lilith was afraid that Ben might overthink the matter, so she immediately added, "I must have saved an entire galaxy in my past life to have met a husband like Ben." Ben was speechless once more. Lilith's words gave him goosebumps.
Lilith was quite rude to him in private. She was direct with her words. She would not take back her words even if she said something harsh n front of an outsider, though, she knew to let him preserve his dignity. He was quite relieved.
At ten in the morning, Avery finished her makeup and got dressed. After she had changed into her first gown, the photographer took sphotos of her and Elliot together.
