NovelOnline"Mom, don't you think you're particularly enthusiastic about Shelly's family?" Layla sat beside her, watching her busy mother with a smile. "They're not even your in-laws yet! You haven't even mentioned sending something to my in-laws." Avery glanced at her daughter. "Would your in-laws appreciate these snacks? The reason I'm more concerned about Shelly's family is because Shelly's mother had surgery recently and needs to eat well for her recovery. Besides, Shellyes from a less fortunate background, so it's only right forto take care of them. It's a different case with your in-laws. They're so wealthy, so why would they need my help?" Layla was not genuinely blaming her mother for being biased and only meant to tease Avery. "If Shelly and my brother really be a couple, I'll have Shelly give you amemorative plaque that says 'Best Mother-in-law!"" Layla continued to tease her mother. "You're truly the best in-law!" "Sure! I'll appreciate whatever Shelly gives me." Avery set aside the things she was going to bring to Shelly's parents and then looked at Robert. "Elliot, why don't you and the driver take these things over?" Robert scratched his head. "Sure! But Mom, should we call them first to let them know we'reing? I'm afraid I might startle them if I show up without warning." "I don't have Shelly's mother's phone number." Avery had visited Mrs. Taylor at the hospital primarily to inquire about her health, so she had otten to ask for her contact information. "Shelly is probably on her way out now, so I shouldn't disturb her. Let's just deliver the gifts and say it's a gesture from us." Robert nodded.

From their conversation with Mrs. Taylor, Avery could sense that she was a very simple and kind person.
Avery was particularly empathetic towards others, so she knew that if Mrs. Taylor invited Robert to join them for a meal and he declined, she might feel that he looks down on them.
"Got it, Mom. Is there anything else you wantto do?" Robert asked.
Avery could not think of anything else for now at the moment.

Avery patted her son's shoulder and added, "If Shelly's mom asks why I didn'te, tell her that I'm hosting sister When Shelly returns from the team-building event, we'll find another opportunity to have a meal together." "Okay, Mom." With that Robert and the bodyguard took the gifts prepared by Avery and headed out.
Avery watched them leave, and about twenty minutes later, Robert arrived at his brother's villa in the city center.
Meanwhile in Hayden's villa, Mr. Taylor was carrying Audrey. She walked up and down the length of the living room as she spoke to the baby.
"Audrey, your mother was just as et cute as you are now. Don't be fooled by how slim she looks now, but she was a bit plumper than you when she was a child! But you're much more blessed than your mother was. Your mother didn't have such a nice house when she was young, and we didn't have money to buy toys for her. The cat we had was her only playmate." Mr. Taylor mumbled while his wife cooked with a gentle smile on her face.
Mrs. Taylor had taken it upon herself to give the servants a holiday as Mr. Taylor was having a hard tgetting used to being served. He did not feelfortable living with strangers. Samuel, on the other hand, was playing with Audrey's new toys that Hayden had bought her when Mrs. Taylor was admitted to the hospital.
Sof the toys were not even meant for child Audrey's age, so Samuel had a lot of fun playing with them, and he could not help but envy his niece.
