"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 even bother informing others..." Avery said with resignation.
"Layla has been through a lot with Eric, and all that's left is for them to get registered and married." Ivy could understand how Layla felt; after all, anyone would becreckless when they found someone they loved.
"Don't worry. Your dad won't make it hard for them. Let's just wait for good news." Avery had been with Elliot for years and knew him like the back of her hand.

"We will need flowers and plants. After that, we will need to buy slanterns and lights... oh, and sblank paper as well so that we can write our New Year's resolution. Have you tried that before, Ivy?" Ivy shook her head. "No." "I will show you. It's simple." "Sure!" At five in the evening, Layla and Eric received their marriage certificate at the Civil Registry Office.
Layla took a photo of the certificate and sent it to the family chat group.
[I'm married! I'm married! I'm married!!!] [No marriage proposal?] Robert replied.
[There was! We did it in front of Dad!] Layla explained.
[Did you get down on one knee to ask for Eric's hand in front of Dad?] Robert teased.
[He was the one who got down on one knee! He boughta ring as well! She typed and alet a photo of the ring. Content belongs to en.swSW [The ring is kind of ordinary.] Robert replied.

[Haha! Robert, when are you getting off work? Hayden, when are you coming home? Layla, Mom, and I bought you a really pretty tree, and we had it delivered to Eric's house!] Content belongs to en.swIvy had always been supportive of every member of the family.
[I get off work at six. Why didn't you showthe tree before sending it away?] Robert replied.
[You can just check it out in Eric's house, or Layla can take a photo for you. It's really pretty!] Ivy wrote.
[It was pretty. It's a shthat there's only one or we would have bought two.] Avery added.
[I desperately want to go hand see it now!] Layla replied.
[My flight is in two days.] Hayden replied.
The family chatted cheerfully, and no one seemed to be upset that Layla was married.
