Ben initially wanted to nhis son Summer, but Lilith thought that Summer sounded like a girl's name. If they were to ntheir son Summer, then surely the other children would laugh at him when he entered school. So, Lilith took matters into her own hands and added the nHarrod when they wrote down their son's birth certificate, thus he becHarrod Summer Schaffer.
Ben chose Summer because his son was born on the hottest day of summer.

Already, she did not like the idea of having a son. She wanted a daughter. Therefore it was one thing to not get the gender that she wanted, but it was another thing for the baby to be stunningly ugly, too.
The doctor consoled her, saying that the child would grow up to be very handsand the hair on his body would drop off too. Other than Lilith, Ben had also felt a little disgusted when he saw his son. He had thought of a great nfor the baby, but when he saw how hairy the baby was, he forgot about the nhe had chosen and started calling the baby Harry instead.
When Lilith heard of this nickname, she finally stopped crying.
Harry was the youngest of the children, yet he was the boldest.
Ben had his child late in life, so he spoiled and doted on Harry a lot. He gave in to whatever his son wanted. Lilith, on the other hand, was busy with her career, she would only occasionally try and discipline her son, but Harry would not listen to her, so she had no choice but to leave him to his own devices.

Harry responded with, "Oh," before pursing his lips saying, "You're not dead yet! You're still alive and well. Uncle Eric would surely live even longer!" Everyone was speechless.
Ben felt as though he had been stabbed in the chest with a knife. It was unfortunate that the person doing the metaphorical stabbing was his son.
It hurt! It hurt very much! In the courtyard, Lilith, with her coat on, walked over to Layla.
"So, you like Eric that much?" Lilith's tone was relaxed. She broke the silence. "Is it because he has the aura of a huge star?" Layla turned to look at Lilith and shook her head. "He has retired from the industry. He is no longer a huge star, but I remember how he treatedTo the past, and I'm still grateful for all he has done." не "Eric doesn't only treat you well. He also treats Tiffany, Kiara, and Rose very well. He has a gentle character, like your Uncle Wesley. He is also this sort of person." "Aunt Lilith, are you askingto stop being delusional?" "Silly girl, how could you call yourself delusional? Eric is the one who isn't good enough for you," Lilith said. "You don't know how exceptional you are." "Aunt Lilith want to ask you a question, do you have regrets a marrying Uncle Ben? If you go out to choose once more, would you still marry him?" Layla asked. S
