In Aryadelle, after the preliminary screening of the candidates was over, Layla grew busy.
Every day, when she was tired of working, or during her lunch break, she would randomly pick a guy from her email list and start
chatting with them via video call.
She had still been a little uneasy when she had spoken to the first two men, but after that, she relaxed into the process.
There was a famous trend on the intewhere an algorithm would match you up with random people to talk to. As long as she
treated this as ssort of a game, she would feel more relaxed.
At night, Layla complained to her mother about the day's men.
"Mom, do you know how absurd the guy | was talking to this afternoon was?" At that, Layla chuckled. "I suspect he is just here for
Hayden because when | was almost done chatting with him, he toldthat he felt that we are not compatible, and he hoped that
he could be friends with Hayden instead."
Avery replied, "Hayden is indeed amazing. He did not rely on anyone to achieve all his current achievements. It's normal that
others would admire him."
Layla could not help but smile. "Hayden is so amazing. I'm sure many girls would like him. I really don't know what he is thinking.
He has a stable career, so why isn't he in a relationship?"
Avery said, "Layla, everyone thinks differently. Slike to be in a relationship, others like being alone."

Elliot interrupted, "Before | knew your mother, | never entered into a relationship either."
Layla said, "Maybe Hayden is like you! He focuses more on his career. He is already so successful, yet he is still working so hard
every day."
Elliot replied, "If you're not progressing, you're regressing."
Layla said, "Dad, when are you going to retire? Once you're retired, take Mom and the world! She has been working hard most of
her life. It's tshe enjoys her life."
Avery said, "Layla, | never felt like it was tough. Your father likes to work, let him be. He feels empty without work."
After going through so many trials together, Avery was long secure in her feelings for Elliot.
"Also, more importantly, | don't like traveling, too," Avery added.
If she liked to travel, Elliot would surely have taken her everywhere, and he would have done it often.
"Mom, aren't you bored staying at hall day?" Layla asked.
Elliot now gnly worked half the day.

"I'm not bored!" In fact, Avery had retired not too long ago.
After Layla completed her master's degree, Avery handed over the company to Layla before retiring.
Now, apart from gardening, she would read and exercise. Tpassed by quickly every day.
"Your mother is like me. We like peace and quiet," Elliot said to his daughter.
"Oh, then you two must have been annoyed to death by us kids being noisy?" Layla said. "Why do | prefer a lively environment??"
"Your mother was quite energetic when she was younger," Elliot said. "Energetic, yet patient."
"Hahaha! No wonder you were so
attracted ror Layla smiled and

Avery was a little surprised. "Do you like him?"
Layla blushed a little. "He is quite handsand also rather polite. He said he is on a holiday, but he doesn't know where to go, so
