Averie was stunned.
“Congratulations?”
“Aren’t you about to marry Mr.Foster? Someone from Sterling Group came by earlier today to ask the HR department about our employee headcount.They said that they’ll be giving out wedding favors when the time comes.”
The receptionist was very excited.
“I knew you’d definitely end up marrying Mr.Foster, Miss Tate!”
Averie was embarrassed beyond words.
“Did Elyette think that she could not afford to buy wedding favors for her own employees?”
Elyette was sending out wedding favors all the way to Averie’s company.
How nice of him.
“It’s not set in stone yet!” Averie said, embarrassed.
“Huh? Isn’t it supposed to be on 12 June?” exclaimed the receptionist in shock.
“I asked the people from Sterling Group and they said you and Mr.Foster are getting married on 12 June!” Averie was speechless.
“D*mn it!” she thought.
Even though she did not know that she was getting married on 12 June, Elyette’s employees already knew all about it.
They had only agreed to get their marriage license on 7 July, but the wedding date would depend on the wedding preparations.
However, Elyette decided to hold the wedding on 12 June but did not tell her about it.
The moment Averie stepped into her office, she immediately called Elyette.
Elyette answered the call and said in a deep voice, “I was just about to call you, Averie.I’ve sent the design sketch for the wedding gown over to you.Take a look.”
“That was fast!”
Averie was so surprised that she forgot the main reason she had called him.
“I’ll look at it right now.”
Then, she hung up the phone.She opened her messages and saw the few sketches of the wedding gown that Elyette sent over.
Once she was done looking through them, she called him again.
“Did the designer from yesterday design these? They look pretty good.”
“Shall I confirm them, then?”
“Sure.” Averie was not picky.
She just wanted something simple and elegant.
To her, a wedding is a sacred occasion.
The gown designs that Elyette sent over satisfied her basic requirements.
“My vice president looked into it and said that 12 June is a good day for the wedding,” Elyette said.
“What do you think?”
“So it was your vice president who set the date.My entire staff already knows that we’re getting married on 12 June now.” Averie walked over to her desk and took a seat.
”Let’s go with 12 June, then! Although, won’t we be short on time?”
“It shouldn’t be a problem.” Elyette chuckled lightly.
“As long as we spend some money, we should be able to get married tomorrow if we wanted to.”
Averie’s cheeks flushed slightly.
She changed the subject asked, “Do you want to invite your brother and nephew to the wedding?”
“There’s no need for us to contact them.”
Elyette’s tone turned cold.
“Seeing them would remind me that they were the ones who drove my mother to her death.My mother’s biggest wish was for me to get married and start a family.It’s a shame she isn’t around to see it.”
Averie was touched.
“Were you and your mother close?”
“She loved me very much,” Elyette said hoarsely.
“I know very well who treats me well.Apart from my mother, you’re the one who treats me best.”
Averie was filled with mixed feelings as she felt her eyes well up, ” I’m always picking fights with you.Why do you think I’m good to you?”
“Even if we fight all the time, I can feel that you care about me.”
There was a hint of stubbornness in Elyette’s voice.
Averie’s breathing turned heavy.She no longer wanted to hide her feelings.
“I really do care about you, Elyette.Perhaps even more than you think.”
Elyette was very happy with her response.
“You and the kids are all I have left, Averie,” he said.
It was a tender moment, but Averie thought of his and Cole’s DNA test.
The results would be out in a week.She was curious.If Elyette was not a Foster, then who was his family?
That evening, Averie saw Elyette and the designer in the living room when she arrived home.
The designer was here to take Averie’s measurements.
“I want a pretty dress, too, Mommy.”
Layla gazed enviously at Averie.
“I’ve bought so many pretty dresses for you before, sweetie.There are still plenty of them that you haven’t worn yet!” Averie said.
“That’s different.” Layla frowned.
“How so?”
“Daddy showed me the wedding gown you’ll be wearing.It’s a lot prettier than any of my dresses,”
Layla said, then suddenly smiled and said, “Daddy said he’ll get me the same dress as yours.”
Averie turned to Elyette.
“Are you sure you want to get your daughter a wedding gown?”
Elyette was embarrassed.
“As long as she’s happy.”
Averie felt that there was something very wrong about his behavior.
First of all, the wedding gown was long.
