Evan got up and walked upstairs without saying anything.

Avery followed him, saying, "Aren't you always looking forward to the night of our wedding?"

Evan didn't stop. But he had to give it to Avery for coming up with so many ideas.

Avery was in a hurry to follow Evan upstairs, saying, "Evan, say something. Okay?"

Avery said, "You're being petty." She glared at him and suddenly didn't say anything. Moments later, Evan heard a groaning.

Avery held her tummy and sat on the stairs.

Evan stopped walking and came back to check on Avery.

Avery held him, saying, "I know you care."

Avery said, "Getting married is stressful. The doctor would advise against being stressed out during pregnancy."

Evan said, "Are you tricking me? Are you not hurt?"

Evan struggled off and turned around to leave.

Avery had no better ideas and followed him in the study. Evan sat on the boss chair with a serious look commandingly and majestically.

Avery was about to walk to him when he said coldly, "Leave me alone."

Avery said, "Okay." She took a look at the time. It was almost noon.

Avery watched as the maids prepared the food. They were all that she liked.

Avery was about to make a soup and asked Jessica to stay around for lunch.

She was about to put on the apron when she felt a cold presence behind her back.

Avery didn't turn around. She said, "Are you done getting mad at me?"

Avery continued saying, "I know you'll understand me. And it's not going to be delayed forever."

What a proud and silent man!

Avery said, "You can help me with cooking if you like." She felt so much pressure that Evan blocked the kitchen door since he was so tall.

Avery grabbed some vegetables for him to help.

Evan still didn't move.

Avery said, "Don't you always say you want to cook with me?"

Evan frowned, "Are you not taking me seriously enough?"

Avery said, "It's because I take you too seriously that I'm being nice to you. Or why would I bother? If it was the old me, I would never do this. You're both important in my life. You're more important. But we're already together. There's not a ceremony in the world that would matter to us being together, right?"

Avery kept going, "I'm not saying that weddings are not important. But I think what matters the most is us. So I think it's cool we delay the wedding a little bit. But I didn't expect that it means so much to you. So, I'm sorry. Don't get mad, okay?"

Evan still wouldn't talk. Avery opened the refrigerator and took out the ingredients. Then she saw Evan crushed every piece of vegetable in the basket she gave to him.

Then Evan went for the ingredients Avery was holding that she hung onto tightly, saying, "You can't destroy these. I plan to make your soup with them."

Evan suddenly stared at her, saying, "Cook me soup?"

Avery said, "Yeah. Don't you know how tough it is to make you happy?"

Evan said, "Not as tough as you."

Avery said, "Fine. We're both hard to please. So... Hmm..."

Evan suddenly charged over, held Avery tightly in his arms, and kissed her on the lips. Then he sucked it back and forth.

Avery said, "Evan, we're in the kitchen. Stop getting crazy."

Evan said, "You shouldn't get crazy. You are pregnant and shouldn't be in here."

Then Evan picked her up by the waist and wouldn't let her in the greasy kitchen.

Avery crossed her hands behind his neck and smiled, saying, "I know you wouldn't stay mad at me for long."

Evan sighed and said, "You're the most persistent that I ever have."

Avery was speechless.

Evan said, "Don't worry. I will put all my perseverance on you."

***

Six months later.

The entertainment news was on TV.

"This will be the grandest wedding in B Country so far in this century. Prince James is going to hold the wedding in the historic location, Bayon Castle. The news is that the prince has decided on the day of the wedding, and Bayon Castle will be built into a crystal castle. The princess will build a unique wedding for his beautiful fiancee. Let's turn to the bride. Her wedding gown and ring are both made by famous cloth designers and jewelry designers. That's enough to tell us the prince is determined to marry her..."

The host at the Bayon Castle was introducing the luxurious wedding in a high-pitched and excited voice when she realized her microphone was moved. She bent over and saw a little girl about 1-year-old was pulling the line behind her.

The second she saw the little girl, she couldn't help liking her, saying, "Wow, such a pretty girl."

The girl had a chubby face and long and curly eyelashes. She was looking at the host with big eyes. She wore a white dress and was like a Barbie.

It only one look to melt the host's heart.

A maid came over, saying, "Miss Cher."

Sarah Ethel put her on the ground. She went to make some mashed potatoes for Cher. She wasn't gone for a minute, and Cher ran away.

Not far away, Avery heard Sarah calling Cher. She looked over and saw Cher pulling the host's microphone line.

She was about to say something when a tall man picked Cher up.

The host couldn't take her eyes off the handsome man who turned up. She forgot to say things. The cameraman reminded her constantly, and she realized it was live news.

Evan held Cher up high, and she couldn't stop giggling. Her cheeky was rosy.

"Daddy..."Little Cher just learned to talk. She couldn't make a full sentence yet. But she pronounced "daddy" very clearly.

Evan held her on his arms and rubbed against Cher's cheek with his nose. Cher giggled again.

In the distance, two pregnant women came over. They both wore white dresses and about 24 weeks pregnant.

"Avery, I'm dying to have a girl like Cher." Gabrielle held her dress as she stroked her stomach. Because of what she just said, she felt her tummy tightened and bulged.

It hurt Gabrielle so much that she stopped walking.

Avery asked with a worried look, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
