    beaming with joy when she saw him.


    La took the bag from Avery''s hand sweetly to carry it for her and the bag was filled with souvenirs Avery had bought.


    "Why have you gotten thinner?” Elliot wrapped his arm around her waist and studied her face closely.


    Avery flushed. "Probably because | move around a lot during the trip"


    “Let me see the wound on your head."

    wouldn''t know what to do with myself if | didn''t have Robert here to fill the gap in my heart."


    She couldn''t help but chuckle at hisint =a+=TIS; said, "! will go out with you alone next time, without the kids."

    “Ahem. La, school is starting tomorrow. Have you finished all your homework?" Avery asked.


    La grew more bitter and snorted.
