Avery''s head began to hurt as soon as she thought about this.


    Her children would not walk down the path that she hadid down for them, and since she and Elliot had gotten marriedte in life, she could not ask Hayden to marry early either.


    She knew that none of her children would ever settle for less, and marriage seemed insignificant if they could not find the one.


    "I don''t think Hayden needs a psychiatrist. He seems normal to me. Elliot was the same way before, right? Work means everything because he hasn''t found someone he likes! Once he finds that person, he might transform into a puppy as Elliot did..."


    Avery came close to vomiting when she heard the word ''puppy''.


    "Avery, do you think you are going to be a good mother-inw?" Tammy asked.


    Avery had not considered this question in the past because Hayden had never shown any interest in romantic rtionships; she would have at least given it some thought if Hayden had brought home a


    woman.


    "I don''t think that I would interfere with my son''s personal life," Avery said. "I was young once, and I know what that feels like."


    "And if the woman your son falls for isn''t right? Like, shees from the wrong family or has a questionable personality?" Tammy asked. "Hayden has never been in a rtionship and what if he makes the wrong choice when ites to getting a girlfriend?" Are you going to leave him to it as well?"


    "If that woman can capture Hayden''s attention, I''m certain that she is a great person in some respects at least. Based on how Hayden''s upbringing, I don''t think he willmit to just anyone! As long as he doesn''t do anything illegal, I will stay out of it."


    Tammy gave Avery a thumbs-up. "Will your husband think the same way?"


    Avery chuckled. "Do you really think that my husband has any say in what Hayden does? Others might listen to Elliot, but Hayden has been independent for so long, and he no longer lives with us. Elliot knows that and he won''t interfere."


    "Sigh! It''s not fun when your children


    are that capable. You have four and


    even if one of them rebels, you still have the support of the others. If Tiffany rebels, I would be devastated. I can''t ept the idea of her moving overseas. She isn''t as talented as Hayden, and even if she was, Jun and I would have followed her everywhere."


    "Don''t overthink it. If all the kids leave their nests at least you and I will have each other!" Avery dreamed of life after retirement.


    "That''s true! We can y poker! My mom said that ying games like that prevent Alzheimer''s." Tammy pulled Avery to the entertainment room.


    The next day, La gathered all her belongings and moved to her apartment. The rest of the family went over for a visit.


    Elliot and Hayden were quiet, and they simply took their seats on the couch after looking about the ce.


    "Sis, don''t you think this ce is a little stuffy?" Robert asked. "It''s so small!"


    "I am living alone so I don''t need so much space." La red at him.


    "I cane by from time to time! You should have bought a bigger ce," Robertmented. "It''s not safecto live alone! Why don''t bstay with you tonight?"


    "Leave me alone! I''m begging you."


    Robert sat down next to Elliot. "Dad, what do you think of La''s new apartment?"


    "It''s so-so."

    properties and could never get used


    to living in high-density buildings. There were skyscrapers as far the eyes could see when one looked outside the balcony and Elliot felt annoyed by it.
