“Then I’ll cook it for Mrs. Scarlet.” Shea said excitedly, and took the dumplings into the house.
In the kitchen.
Seeing Shea coming back, Averie smiled and said, “Are you going to show it to your brother and let him eat the dumplings you made later?”
“Yeah! I’ll make another one for you to eat.” The smile on Shea’s face is gentle and warm, with pure and strong love.
Averie couldn’t resist Shea’s kindness: “Okay! I hope your brother and I can find your dumplings later.”
“If you can’t find it, I’ll help you find it.” Shea took the dough and scooped the meat filling with a spoon in one hand, “I can definitely recognize the dumplings I made. Because the dumplings I made are big, fat, and the cutest.”
Half an hour later, the driver picked up Sofia.
After Sofia came over, she only glanced at Elyette timidly, and immediately went into the kitchen to help Mrs. Scarlet.
This day has been busy and fulfilling.
Time passed, and it was evening.
After the reunion dinner, the driver was ready to send Sofia away.
Before Sofia left, she gave Hayden, Layla and Robert New Year’s money respectively.
“Averie, I want to tell you something.” Shea took Averie’s arm and walked aside, “Valentine’s Day will be in a few days. I want to get a certificate with Wesley that day.”
Averie: “Your brother…”
“I don’t want to tell him, because he may not agree.” Shea leaned into her ear and said her thoughts, “I want to get the certificate and then tell him. “
Averie: “Aren’t you afraid that he will get angry?”
Shea: “Afraid. But I really want to marry Wesley.”
Averie looked at the sincere light in Shea’s eyes and nodded: “I support you. If Elyette gets angry then, I will persuade him.”
“Thank you Averie.” Shea hugged Averie happily.
Not far away, after Elyette watched Sofia leave, he turned around and saw the two of them hugging each other. He was about to go over and ask them what they were talking about when the phone rang.
He picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
He hesitated, then answered the phone.
“Elyette, I’m coming to your city. Can you come out and meet me?”
It was Rebecca’s voice.
Rebecca was here.
Elyette took his mobile phone and strode towards the gate of the courtyard.
If Averie heard Rebecca’s voice, she would definitely be angry.
“What do you want to do?” Elyette whispered.
Rebecca prayed softly, “I have a big belly now. This is the last time I will go out before giving birth. I just want to see you once. After seeing you, I will leave immediately.”
Afraid of his rejection, Rebecca hurriedly said: “Elyette, please don’t be so cruel. I won’t come again in the future. When the child is born, I will take care of the child…”
Elyette stood in the yard Outside the door, he turned slightly sideways and looked towards the door of the villa.
Averie was looking at him. But she didn’t come.
Shea’s hand took her arm, rambled about something to her.
When Averie found that Elyette was looking at her, she immediately turned her eyes back to Shea’s face.
“I won’t see you. Rebecca, don’t contact me again. You will only make me hate you more.”
Rebecca burst into tears and choked: “I didn’t mean to come to you, I really can’t control myself… The child always kicks me now, every time she kicks me, I want to tell you… She is already a healthy and lively life, she will be as smart and lovely as Layla in the future. Elyette, I don’t ask you to give her normal fatherly love, as long as we meet occasionally and it’s good to meet her once. Even if we can’t meet upright, it’s fine to meet in secret.”
Rebecca’s cry made him grit his teeth.
His fists were clenched tightly, and the child’s little face that looked very much like Layla appeared in his mind.
“Elyette, I’m at the Regent Hotel near your house, and I’ll leave tomorrow morning.” Rebecca saw that Elyette didn’t speak, so she held a glimmer of hope, “Will you come and see our children? Knowing that when I have a baby, you can’t go to Yonroeville to see me, and I won’t have the strength to bring the baby to come to you, so you can come and see us tonight? I brought a lot of photos of the baby to show you, It was taken this month.”
The Regent Hotel is only a ten-minute drive from Elyette’s home. After going back and forth, plus the time to watch Rebecca, it can be done within half an hour.
The child softened Elyette’s heart.
When Rebecca gave birth, it was impossible for Elyette to see Rebecca and the child.
It is impossible to see them in the future.
When the child is born, Rebecca’s attention is shifted to the child, and she should not come to him again.
Thinking of this, Elyette decided to see Rebecca for the last time. He hung up the phone and walked towards the villa.
Averie accompanied Shea and Adrian to watch the Spring Festival Gala in the living room.
Hayden and Layla were also there.
Robert felt asleep in Mrs. Cooper’s arms.
Elyette walked to Averie. Before Elyette could speak, Averie immediately got up from the sofa and walked aside with him.
“Who did you talk to on the phone just now?” Averie didn’t think much of it when she asked this question.
“A friend.” Elyette didn’t say much, “I’m going to go out now and come back in half an hour.”
Come back in half an hour, which is equivalent to where Elyette is going, which is nearby.
Averie said, “Is half an hour enough? Meeting friends, don’t you invite them to have a meal? It’s fine if you come back later, but drink less alcohol.”
Elyette nodded: “You’ll be sleepy before you go to bed, and don’t wait for me.”
“Well.” Averie sent him out the door.
After Elyette left, Averie went back to the living room.
“Mom, where is Dad going so late?” Layla lifted her heavy eyelids, “We’re going to set off fireworks later.”
“Your dad has a friend here, he’s going to see his friend.” Averie explained to her daughter, “He said he’d be back soon. But if you want to set off fireworks, we don’t have to wait for him.”
Layla: “Let’s go set off fireworks now!”
“Okay!” Averie put on the jacket for the child, “Put on the jacket first, it’s a little cold outside.”
The two children put on their jackets, and Shea and Adrian also put on their jackets.
Adrian took the lighter and walked out first.
Shea and the two children quickly ran out.
When Averie was about to go out, the phone rang.
Gwen called Averie.
Averie picked up the phone immediately.
Gwen’s excited voice came: “Averie! I ranked second in the preliminary round. I was second.”
Averie’s heart beat with excitement: “You are awesome. I knew you could do it.”
“I’m so happy! I originally set my goal to be in the top ten and successfully enter the semi-finals, so I’m satisfied. I didn’t expect that I was second in the preliminary round. It’s only a little bit lower than the first place.”
Averie: “Gwen, you really amazing. If your second brother knows this news, he will definitely be happy for you.”
“I also hope he can impress me. I will continue to work hard in the future.” Gwen said, Ben Schaffer’s voice came, “Gwen, are you calling Averie?”
Gwen: “You know it but you are still asking.”
“Let’s talk when we go back. I have already booked a flight back to Aryadelle, let’s go home.” Ben Schaffer said.
Fireworks bloomed in the air, and the night was suddenly decorated with colorful lights.
