"Hahaha! Dad, I''m just amused. I thought I have him all to myself after he retires, but there are still a lot of people who remember him," La said. "Dad, don''t get upset! He just made the announcement as he thought that the press will talk about it, so it was best that he made the announcement first."


    "So long as you are happy," Elliot said sincerely.


    Since La was officially Eric''s wife, Elliot decided that they should live their lives in whatever way pleased them.


    "Dad, if you are really upset, I can get him to delete the post." La was worried as she could not see the look on Elliot''s face through the phone.


    "He has already posted it, so what''s the point in deleting it now?" Elliot had been annoyed but had soon regained hisposure. "Get him to hire a few more bodyguards, or I can send over a few from my house. Be safe whenever you go outside."


    La sighed a breath of relief. "Dad, I knew you wouldn''t be upset. Don''t worry about us. I will hire a few more bodyguards."


    After hanging up, La scrolled through all thements under Eric''s post and read each of the positive and negativements happily, knowing that Eric was hers.


    "It''s a good thing that you''ve retired, or your fans might actuallye after me," La teased.


    "Those who would do such a thing aren''t my fans." Eric reached out and touched her hair. "Why did youe outside without drying your hair?"


    "There are heaters in the house, and I''m not going to sleep now, so it''s going to dry on its own." La moved closer to him. "By the way, we are celebrating New Year''s at my family''s ce this year. This is the first year we celebrate together since Ivy came home."


    "Sure." Eric knew it because Elliot had mentioned it.


    "I asked your parents to join us, but they didn''t want to." She nced at Eric.


    "Don''t worry. They have always spent New Year''s on their own," Eric exined. "I usually have to work during New Year''s, so I haven''t been able to celebrate with them."


    "But if that''s the case, that''s all the more reason to celebrate with them." La felt sorry for Eric''s parents and said, "Why don''t I celebrate with my family, and you do the same with yours?"


    Eric thought about it and said, "My parents might not agree."


    "Why not?" La was confused. "My parents definitely want me to celebrate New Year''s with them. I assume that all parents want the same thing."


    "They would prefer that I stay with you."


    La blushed.


    Her parents-inw were wonderful people who never interfered with their lives and remained considerate all the time.


    "Let''s go to my parent''s ce for New Year''s Eve and go to your parents'' a day before or after that. How does that sound?" La offered.


    "Just discuss this with my parents. You three keep making decisions behind my back, anyway."


    "... You sure hold a grudge! This is all


    your fault for turning me down all the time! You are just ill, and everyone gets sick from time toContent (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    time! Since you can''t work, you


    should n the wedding! Once everything is in ce, the wedding


    Will take ce."


    Eric had beenpletely tamed and obeyed La''s every wish. "What kind of a wedding do you want?" he asked.


    She lifted an eyebrow. "I want a


    romantic and dreamy wedding. We don''t need to invite too many guests, but I want a spacious venue. Of course, the more the merrier, though," she said, before adding, "I like to be surrounded by people."


    "Should we have our outfits made now?"


    "Yeah, but I don''t wantplicated patterns. Keep the outfits simple and elegant. If there are things that you are struggling with, ask me about them."


    "Do you really not care about bing a widow in the future?"


    "I trust modern technology and fate. Who knows what tomorrow might bring? Maybe I''ll be the one to die first."


    Eric immediately covered her mouth and said, "Let''s not talk about that."
