"Avery, did you think that Jun was a great kid when he was little? According to my mother-in-law, he enjoyed fighting others when he was a kid. My parents said that I was a little princess when I was a kid..." Avery had not expected them to grow up into such different people.
"My Tiffany is a combination ofand Jun, I guess! She does reason with people, but she can be a bit impatient," Tammy said while she reached for a banana and peeled it lazily. "Shea, your mother-in-law fell and hurt her back, so I don't think she can do chores anymore. You can totally send Kiara to a daycare near your place." Shea nodded. "We already did, but she cries on the way to and from daycare every single day... The teacher mentioned that she's not much of a crybaby in daycare, though." "Kids are all like that. She will get used to going there soon," Tammy consoled her.
"Shea, when did your mother-in-law hurt her back? Is it bad?" Avery did not have a clue that such a thing had happened.
"That's after you and Elliot went to Ylore. She was in the hospital for a whole week!" Tammy said. "Don't worry though. She has been discharged so I think it's not as bad now." Avery scowled. "Shea, I'll follow you to your place later to pay your mother-in-law a visit." "Sure." "How's Wesley's work going? Smooth?" Avery realized that she had not been an attentive friend to them. She had always looked for Wesley only when she needed help from him.
"I don't know... He keeps tellinghe's fine whenever I ask if work has been tough. He never tellsbad news," Shea said. "I really want to work and earn money myself so that he won't have to work so hard." Tammy patted her on the head. "You are so understanding with your husband. You can talk to him if you really don't want him to work. Elliot gave you a large dowry when you got married, right?" Tammy knew that she should not mention Elliot's nand was not doing so on purpose, but Elliot's existence had penetrated into their lives so deeply that it was difficult to talk about their lives without mentioning his name. "My brother did givemoney, but he toldnot to give it to my in-laws or Wesley," Shea said truthfully. "I have the money with me, ?d%=QJW? I tried to get Wesley to manage it for me, but he refuses to." "You need to listen to your brother. You should keep it to yourself if that's what he told you to do... Even if Wesley has been a loving husband to you, you can't just give him your money" Tammy seemed slightly worried at what Shea had said. "I will buy a safe for you, and you can store all your valuables inside. You will just need to memorize the password." "But I trust him, just the way I trust my brother," Shea insisted. Her eyes filled with determination.
"Tammy, every couple has a different relationship dynamic. Love is supposed to be like that." "I'm just worried that Wesley might fail her in the future." "If he dares to fail Shea, I will help her take back everything that's hers. Since they are doing well right now, we don't have to get ahead of ourselves." After lunch, the three went to Wesley's house to visit his mother, who was still on bed rest but was capable of getting out of bed on her own.
"Avery, I really appreciate you coming to visitdespite what's happening in your household," she said. "I'm fine now. I just really want Elliot to be found. Wesley toldthat Shea has been crying all the time, and he is upset that she is in such a bad mood." Avery was about to say something when her phone in her purse started ringing.
