Elliot was not pleased. "Why is my son being so chummy with you?" "I chere all the tto see him! It shouldn't cas such a big surprise that he's so chummy with me." Ben noticed that he cback alone and so he asked." Where's Avery? Lilith wantedto bring her a gift." "She went to see Tammy." Elliot sat down on the sofa. "Did Jun tell you anything?" "No. Did the two of them argue again? Is it about the child's name? | think they're putting the cart before the horse. The baby hasn't even cinto the world yet! There's still plenty of tto argue once he's born! Mrs. Cooper cover and carried Robert away.

Ben took out the gift Lilith tasked him to bring and handed it to Elliot. "Have a look." "What's there to look?" Elliot put the box on the table.
"This gift cost Lilith a month's worth of her salary!" Ben narrowed his foxlike eyes. " She said that Avery's the person she feels most grateful for, so she bought this gift and taskedwith delivering it to her. She sure does know how to reciprocate the kindness." When Elliot heard that, he picked up the box and opened it.
Inside was a necklace. It did not seem too expensive, but it should be the kind of style that Avery liked.
He closed the box and put it on the table.
"You haven't met Lilith, have you?" Ben said. "She's changed now. | think you should try to get to know her." Elliot looked askance at him. "Do you like her? | have no objection if she likes you." "What gave you that impression?" "It hasn't been several minutes since | arrived and she's one of the first things you've mentioned. You have no reason to keep talking about her if you don't feel something for her." Ben sighed. "I didn't think about her that way at first, but I've been dreaming about her for the past two days... Don't you think something's wrong with me? I'm a little scared of myself if I'm honest." Elliot immediately distanced himself from Ben after hearing what the latter said. "Are you askingto be put in a good word for you or something?" Ben immediately denied it. "Do | look like someone who would stoop to such a low level? I'll h=e!;TMR "Break a leg." Elliot could already see that Ben was interested in Lilith, as it seemed quite clear from the man’s expression and tone.

"I don't think you'll ever chase after her if you keep thinking about how she's my sister," Elliot said. "I won't laugh at you if you decide to woo her." Ben blushed slightly. "But will Avery?" "You should wait for her to cback and ask her yourself." "Forget it! | was just asking casually." "It makes sense that you're still single. Are you waiting for the heavens to just magically conjure up a wife for you if you're not going to go after the woman you like?" Elliot picked up the glass of water and took a sip.
"Didn't you just get your certificate today and end your single life? Do you have to be so sarcastic and make such insinuations? | can get married at the snap of a finger if | wanted to." "By all means, then." "I... I think | should go back and get srest!" Ben could have had that a long tago if he wanted to.
After Ben left, Elliot picked up the box on the table and walked toward the master bedroom.
At the Lynch residence, Tammy's mental state was more or less the sas usual and she had a good appetite too.
