"George!" Elliot realized what the situation was and immediately called out to him.
When George heard Elliot calling him, he instantly looked up. "Mr. Foster, what happened?"
Elliot said, "Cout withfor a while."
George immediately got up and followed Elliot out.
When they left, Mrs. Kennedy immediately questioned her daughter, "Leah, George is unwilling to let us stay at his place, right? If
he has any difficulties, he can tell us. He doesn't need to lower his head all the way to the floor. How awkward! Your father and |
can't afford to be shamed by this."
Leah was almost in tears, yet she could not tell them that Elliot was lying to them.
"George is not that sort of person. Mom, why don't you two stay in his mansion? He has renovated it quite nicely. He hires someone
to clean it every week. It's clean..." Leah continued fervently, "His mansion isn't too far off, either. It's at the Third Ring. It's less

"I'm not going!" Mrs. Kennedy was furious. "Your father and | will stay in the hotel. It's nice at the hotel. There won't be anyone
there to infuriate us."
Leah sighed, "Mom, we did not mean to make you angry. | had already told you from the start to stay at his mansion, but you don't
want to. | don't know why you're so angry with him."
"He has cheated my daughter away! How can | not be angry?" Mrs. Kennedy said angrily.
Avery noticed how Leah was no longer in control of the situation. She immediately intervened. "Mrs. Kennedy, don't be so angry. If
George is ever inconsiderate to Leah, we will help her. We won't let her suffer any grievances. You and Mr. Kennedy don't have to
worry."
Mrs. Kennedy's expression instantly changed when she heard Avery's words. She smiled and looked at Avery. "Avery, we're relieved
to hear you say that. We do not mean to deliberately show George our unhappiness. We're just feeling miserable. Our daughter is
getting married so far away. Avery, you have a daughter, too. You should be able to understand how we feel."
"Of course, | do. If | were you, | would have picked on George's flaws too. Leah is still young. She doesn't understand the pain of
being a parent. When she becomes a mother in the future, she will surely understand how you and Mr. Kennedy feel right now."
Avery picked up the teapot and poured stea for Mrs. Kennedy.
Avery's words aptly summarized what Mrs. Kennedy was feeling. She nodded furiously.
Just then, Elliot had finished talking to George. They entered the room.
George was smiling widely, but, because he was smiling so widely, his face was scrunched up.
Leah was confused by his weird smile. She cleared her throat, trying to get George to act more naturally. He was going to scare her
parents.
"Dad, Mom, after dinner, let Leah and | send you to my flat downtown to stay in. It's at a convenient location. You cross the street
and there's a mall and shops. If you want speace and quiet, there's a huge lake behind the neighborhood. The scenery is
amazing. You could shop during the day and walk by the lake in the evening. Not only can you enjoy the view, but you can also

Leah's parents were caught off guard. Leah was also feeling a little uneasy.
After their meal, George and Leah sent their parents to their hotel to check out and take their luggage.
Elliot and Avery were on the way home. After getting into the car, Avery held Elliot's large hands. She asked with a smile, "The flat
in the city is yours, right? When you mentioned it, you should have seen how nervous George and Leah looked."
"I plan to give them that flat as a wedding gift. What do you think?" Elliot asked.
"I think it's nice! Leah risked her life helping us out previously. George has been working with you for a long time. Giving him a flat
as a wedding gift is completely alright." Avery said earnestly. "Leah's parents don't actually hate George. They were just reluctant
to let their daughter get married so far away."
"I know." Elliot said. "So | will never let Layla leave me. She can only settle down in Avonsville."
Avery could not help but smile. "Do you think your daughter will listen to you? She barely listens to you now. When she is older, she
will be even more out of your control."
