"I knew that you wouldn't mind, but you'll have to talk to your parents!" said Lilith.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtknow that you won't mind, but you have to talk to your parents!" Lilith urged, "And as for how we are going to execute it, you'll have to help. Tammy and I only cup with the idea. You're not expecting us to do everything, right?" Ben looked at how excited she was. He asked, "What about our wedding? Do you have any plans for it?" Lilith took out her phone and looked at the calendar. After scrolling through her calendar, she casually pointed at a day on the calendar. "Why not do it on this day? Before New Year's. After the wedding, we can go on our honeymoon and still be back in tfor New Year's. What do you think?" Ben furrowed his brows. "We will only have a few days for the honeymoon? Lilith, you're being perfunctory. I remembered that Elliot and Avery's honeymoon was half a month." "Why are you comparing us to them? I remembered their wedding clearly. It was unprecedented in its grandiosity. If you are comparing us to them, then why not have a wedding that is just as grand as theirs? You handed the organization of our wedding to your parents, right? Back then, Elliot was the one handling his wedding." Lilith's legs were feeling a little sore, so she sat down in the office chair.
"I did want to plan our wedding, but you kept regretting it, and you couldn't set a date, right? My parents helped us because they saw us dragging our feet..." "I'm not blaming your parents. My point is don't compare yourself to Elliot. A week for a honeymoon is not short. Why do you want half a month? Won't you get exhausted having fun for half a month?" Lilith had to run around a lot for work, so she only wanted to stay hduring the holidays.
"Why would our honeymoon be exhausting? I haven't had a break in a long time. I want to take this tto rest." "Yes, we can rest better at home. But then, we'll just stay hand rest," Lilith said.
Ben had a look of disbelief plastered on his face. "My parents are leaving after New Year's. If we were to spend our honeymoon at home, do you think they'll agree to it? I told my mom that I have already booked a luxurious package for our honeymoon abroad." "If we're giving the Christmas wedding to Elliot, you have to give them the honeymoon, too!" Ben was speechless.

"Okay! No matter what, we can't stay home. Have you seen any couples staying hfor their honeymoon? Lilith, you're too unambitious! This is my first wedding. How can you brushoff like that?" "You say that as if this is my second wedding or something." Lilith changed her line of thought. She had asked Ben to give their wedding to Elliot, and that had been a little too much to ask from Ben. "I'll go along with your plans for our honeymoon, okay?" "That's more like it. My parents should have almost completed planning for the Christmas wedding. I'll go ask them about it." At that, Ben got a little worried. He wondered if his parents would be angry or not. "Lilith, why don't you cwith me! If my parents start scolding me, you can helpout," Ben asked meekly.
"You're an adult, yet you're still afraid of your parents scolding you?" Lilith did not dare to cwith him, so she cheered him on. "Don't worry, your parents love you a lot. They surely won't scold you." "My parents haven't scoldedbefore," Ben said but he still felt conflicted. "Since young-" "This was not what you toldwhen you were pursuing me. You said that your parents almost broke it off with you because they wanted you to get married. They surely must have scolded you before and more than once at that." "Fine, I'll go." Ben took a deep breath and walked out of the study. Lilith secretly followed him, but she did not dare to head downstairs. About twenty minutes later, Ben took a stack of documents upstairs.
Twenty minutes had passed, and for ten of those minutes, there was absolute silence. Lilith guessed that his parents must have agreed to give the wedding to Elliot.
Ben took the documents to the study room and closed the door shut.
"This is everything about the Christmas wedding."
