Lilith was in yoga wear. She was sweating profusely. When she saw Ben, she was stunned."What? Why are you so surprised to see me?" Ben quickly measured her up while talking to her.After not seeing her for such a long time, he felt as if she had lost weight. Her entire aura has changed."The security system at home is broken." Lilith took a step back, letting him in."Oh, if it's broken, why did you not get people to come and fix it?" Ben entered and changed his shoes by the door."No one visits usually.""If you didn't know it was me, how do you dare to open the door?" Ben was stunned at how low her defenses were."I know it's you! Hayden told me this morning that you were coming over." Lilith walked over to the living area and kept her yoga met."Then, why were you so surprised to see me?" Ben walked to the living area and saw her tidy up."I'm not surprised to see you," Lilith said calmly, "I'm just shocked by the speed at which you are aging. The last time I saw you, you

In Aryadelle, everyone came to Starry River Villa in the evening with gifts to celebrate Elliot's discharge from the hospital and the reconciliation between Elliot and Avery. After Avery took two doses of medicine, the fever subsided, and she was not feeling so dizzy. She still put on a mask when Tammy came over, though. Tammy was pregnant now and couldn't afford to get sick. "Avery, you must have been too tired recently. When people are too tired, they tend to get sick." Tammy said, "I also caught a cold once before I got pregnant. I also took some medicine. I asked the doctor if the child would be affected. The doctor said that everything was fine since there was no bleeding." "All right. Why didn't Jun come with you?" Tammy heard the question, and the calmness on her face disappeared. "My mother-in-law was hospitalized because I annoyed her too much, and her blood pressure was too high. Jun went to take care of him. I haven't seen him for three days, and I suspe

The sun shone through the window and lit up the vast living room. A man and a woman were hugging each other and sleeping soundly on the sofa. Suddenly, a rapid and harsh ringtone sounded from the mobile phone. Lilith opened her eyes first. It was her phone that was ringing! She wanted to reach out to find the phone, but her arm was bound by something, so she couldn't move. She opened her eyes immediately, and after seeing what was restraining her, she immediately raised her feet and kicked Ben off the sofa! "Ah!" Ben exclaimed, then opened his eyes. "You bastard!" Lilith jumped off the sofa and scolded Ben, "Think about what happened last night!" Ben looked blank. Last night, he invited Hayden and Lilith to dinner. He ordered a bottle of wine and drank it alone. Hayden ate his kid's meal, and Lilith ate some fruit salad. He felt bored drinking alone, but he didn't want to end the meal so quickly, so he drank one cup after another. Finally, he beca

Robert stood outside the door and hugged Avery as soon as she came out."Mommy... Play...""Okay, I'll play with you." Avery was afraid that the child would disturb Elliot's rest, so she decided to bring him outside to play.The weather that day was rather good as the sun was bright and it was comfortably breezy.Autumn was just upon them, so the temperature was not as hot as it was in the summer and the difference between day and night was becoming more and more noticeable.Over at Bridgedale, Ben accompanied Lilith to the modeling agency and did not seem to be in a hurry to leave."Didn't you say you were rushing to catch a plane?" Lilith asked."I didn't say I was rushing. I just said the flight is today—tonight, to be precise. I'll leave after having dinner with you tonight." Ben smiled warmly. "Where's your agent? I'd like to meet her."That turned out to be Ben's true purpose.Lilith had no intention of bringing him to see her agent, but speak of the devil and he shall a

"I didn't tell you beforehand because you're not going to be alone on stage," the teacher explained with a smile. "The emcee will ask you how you raise your children and you'll be invited to share your views on our school. You may answer however you please."Avery nodded. "Okay."She was no stranger to making small talk during official functions.Layla's dance performance ended half an hour later and the audience burst into applause.Avery was invited onto the stage amidst the raucous applause, and she put on a proud and dignified expression.She had recorded Layla's entire performance on her cell phone earlier and felt that she should have brought a DSLR camera if she knew Layla could dance so well.Avery walked to the stage and took the microphone from the emcee."Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate in our school's activities, Ms. Tate. I wonder if Layla's father is here," the emcee asked with a smile.Laughter ensued following that
