It's normal. If I'm a guy and | see that Layla is looking for suitors, | can't help but try." Done with her skincare routine, Avery walked
over to Elliot and glanced at the screen of his laptop, where Elliot happened to be looking at Sam's email.
"This kid looks sweet." She glanced through the portfoand saw the words 'accept marrying into the Foster Family instead’ in red
and bold. "Haha, this kid says he can marry into our family instead!"
"Layla is way out of his league! There are countless men who would give up their family names to marry into our family. Am |
supposed to be impressed just because he put those words in red bold?! Something is wrong with his head!" Elliot said before
deleting Sam's email.
"Stop going through these, Elliot. | don't want you to get insomnia later." She closed his laptop and took it away.
"What if Layla never finds her perfect match, Avery?" Elliot was not in any hurry before, but his mind had swung to the other
extreme, now that Layla had started openly searching for men. "Once the two of us are gone, she will be all alone..."
"Hayden and Robert are around, so how can she be alone?" Avery set the laptop down on the table and returned to bed, sitting
down next to Elliot.
"Hayden and Robert will get married at spoint and won't have tto look after Layla," he said worriedly. "I'm not worried
about Robert because he can definitely find a wife. I'm not worried about Hayden either, because even if he never marries, he can
take good care of himself, but our daughter..."
"Instead of that, maybe you should worry about which one of us is going to die first!" Avery felt like Elliot had too much ton his
hands. "If you die first and leavebehind, what should | do?"
"The kids will take care of you. If they don't, | will haunt them."

Avery stared at Elliot, unsure of what to say.
The topic was too heavy to be discussed right before bed.
"If | can take care of myself, | don't want to bother them." Avery paused for a few moments before continuing, "If | die first, will you
date someone else?"
Elliot understood her question, but he did not want to answer it. "If you die, | will die, too."
Avery stared at him in shock.
"So you need to live."
"No one said anything about dying on purpose. I'm just saying."
"No. Even if you are just talking about it, | can't live without you."
"Alright! Let's go to sleep! Getting
overly anxiod&' won't help anything
and will onlyexhaust us. We've been
searching for Ivy all these years, and
we ustReep getting disappointed...
If feeling anxious could helpget
hersback, | would stay up altnight
amd drag you along with aie."
It was merely a joke.
"Maybe she's long gone, or we would have found something," he said.
She sighed. "Yeah! All | hope is that she passed without pain."
"I hope that she's been reborn to a happy family?"
"Why must she be reborn?"
Elliot was rendered speechless at the moment.
"I'm not saying that living is bad.
