NovelOnlineShould Elliot be thanking his bodyguards? Once they were done arguing, the designer smiled and said, "It's fate that you ended up together, Miss Tate. No matter how much unhappiness you had to suffer through in the past, what's important is that your future will be filled with nothing but happiness." Avery smiled at the designer and said, "I supposed. You're here to get my measurements, right? Go ahead, then! Do | need to take off my clothes?" "Please take off your coat. It would be best if you're wearing something fitted underneath. The measurements would be more accurate that way." "Oh, I'll go to the room and change, then." Avery walked toward her room.
Layla quietly snuck over to Elliot's side, then asked curiously, "What's a vegetative state, Daddy? | know what vegetation is.
That's stuff like flowers and trees, right?" Elliot nodded and said, "That's right. Flowers and trees are vegetation..." "Oh." Layla excitedly cut him off midsentence and shared her own explanation,” Someone in a vegetative state is someone who sprouts and blooms like a flower." Elliot was taken aback by his daughter's remarks.
"It's not like that, Layla." Mrs. Cooper walked over laughing. "Someone in a vegetative state is someone who can't move, just like vegetation, but they're still alive. It's a very serious illness." Layla was shocked. "Did Daddy used to have such a serious illness?" "That's right. It's a miracle that your father woke up," said Mrs. Cooper.

The siblings had been sleeping in separate beds since they turned six, but they still shared a room.
Sometimes, when there was a thunderstorm outside, Layla would be afraid and sleep in Hayden's bed.
"Daddy used to be in a vegetative state, Hayden." Then, Layla put on a bragging tone and asked, "Do you know what it means to be in a vegetative state?" "You don't have to tell me. | don’t care,” said Hayden.
"Oh... Daddy used to bloom like a flower ?e+ =WMY: even grew fruit. That's what a vegetative state means." Since Hayden did not care, Layla spouted nonsense with a serious expression on her face.
Hayden turned on the lights in the room and said, "There’s nothing funny about that joke, Layla. Go back to your bed." "I'm not done yet! Daddy said that | can't date before I turn eighteen and | can't get married before | turn twenty five. Do you think I should be angry about that?" Layla asked, confused.
Hayden considered her question seriously. Moments later, he realized that he shared the sopinion with Elliot.
"The point is that you can't get married too early. Otherwise, you'd end up getting tricked and cheated.” He picked Layla off the bed, then said, "Go sleep in your own bed or I'm moving to the next room." Layla hugged her pillow and unhappily went back to her own bed.
Hayden turned the lights off, and the room fell into darkness once again.
The next day, Ben arrived in Rosacus City and handed Elliot and Avery's wedding invitation to Chelsea.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Chelsea opened the invitation and saw their names and wedding date, her expression did not waver, but her fingers turned pale.
"Why are they inviting me? Aren't they worried that I'd scare the other guests off with my face?" she said as she mocked herself, then tossed the invitation onto the table.
"Were you the one behind what happened at Villa de Sierra, Chelsea?" Ben asked straightforwardly.
"No," Chelsea answered without hesitation.
"Giveyour phone. I'm taking it back to Elliot." Ben reached his hand out to her. " He won't touch you if it really wasn't you.
However, if he finds out that you were behind it... He won't let you live." MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
