"Honey, | might be nervous because I've been out of the workforce for so long. I'll slowly get back in shape." Avery took a deep
breath and quickly calmed herself down. "Right, Leah senta message today. She said that she has registered her marriage with
George. They had it registered yesterday."
Elliot asked, "Are they planning to have a wedding?"
"They haven't said anything about a wedding. She toldthat George had to take a few days off because her parents are coming
over. She and George have to spend twith her parents," Avery said with a smile. "Did George not tell you? He must be afraid of
you."
Elliot had not heard anything about this.
He looked at his phone but did not see any messages or calls from George. Could George really be afraid of him? Whenever he
spoke to George on the phone, George did not sound afraid of him.

"Since Leah toldabout it, that's the sthing as telling you directly. You have to approve George's leave!" Avery said. "| never
would have thought that they would end up together so quickly, but they are quite a match."
"I'll have to see if he requests leave fromor not. If he doesn't even approach me, how can he expectto automatically
approve his leave?" Elliot found it unbelievable. "Chad would cto look forby himself regarding his own matters."
"Okay, Honey. Don't get angry. I'm guessing that George will tell you after he sends Layla home." Avery patted his back, trying to
soothe him.
When they returned home, Layla was already hfrom school.
George and Leah were there too. George looked at them shyly. Seeing how hesitant he was, he definitely wanted to request a leave
of absence from Elliot.
"Leah, you didn't tellyou were coming over this evening when you texted me." Avery immediately took Leah's hand and led
her to the sofa to sit down. "If I'd known you were coming over, | would have gotten off work earlier."
George watched them enter the house. He immediately walked over to Elliot and asked, "Mr. Foster, | would like to ask for a week's
leave. Leah's parents have cto visit..."
"Aren't you two married already? Why haven't you changed the way you address them?" Elliot teased.
George blushed. He scratched his head. "Uh... My parents-in-law actually don't agree with Leah marrying me. They don't really
want to have anything to do with me."
Elliot looked at how aggrieved George looked. He mentally sighed. "Where are they staying right now?"
"They are staying at a hotel. They booked the hotel themselves before they came." George said. "They don't want Leah to marry
me. Not entirely because they hate me. Leah said that her parents don't wish for her to be married so far from them. |

"Then, you should do all you can sincerely to prove that you will take good care of their daughter," Elliot said. "As long as they are
satisfied with you, the distance doesn't matter."
George felt that Elliot's words made sense, but he did not know how to make his parents-in-law feel at ease.
He originally wanted to ask Elliot if he could cup with a good solution for him, but he suddenly thought of something and
asked, "Mr. Foster, if Layla marries someone far away from you as well in the future, will you miss her?"
Elliot was speechless. His eyes bulged. His body gradually stiffened. He also clenched his fists.
In an instant, an aura of pure fury instantly engulfed the air.
George immediately covered his mouth. He felt as if he was about to die.
