[Averie: Don’t exaggerate things. I went to look for him to deal with something.)
[Mike: It was so late at night. What could you possibly look for him for?]
[Averie: …]
[Mike: Hahaha!)
Averie placed her phone down and ignored him.
A moment later, Mike called.
Averie saw his call.
She hesitated for a few seconds before answering it.
“Averie, how are you planning to celebrate the Memorial Day weekend?” Mike asked, “Does
Elyette have time to be with you? f he doesn’t have the time, I can take you out!”
Averie had not considered this.
Even if she was not too busy every day, she was not free either.
She had three children to care for.
If she wanted to get busy, she could do it at any moment.
″Didn’t you ask Chad?”
“I did! We’ll go together!”
“I would rather care for the children at home than go with the two of you.”
“Then, I’ll bring the children together, so you’ll be home alone!” Mike intentionally agitated her.
Averie sneered.
“Sure, take Robert along.
Then I can truly spend time alone with Elyette! It’s great since I haven’t spent time alone with him for a long time.”
Mike took a deep breath.
He wanted to retort but he was at a loss for words.
In the end, he could only chuckle and say, “Has Elyette proposed to you yet? Averie, he hasn’t even proposed to you, yet you already agreed to marry him.
Are you just too easy to pursue?”
Averie blushed.
She said with gritted teeth, “I don’t care if he proposes or not! It’s just a gimmick! If one is willing to marry, even without a proposal, they would get married.
If they don’t want to get married, even if they were proposed to a hundred times, they wouldn’t get married!”
“Look at you, I just mentioned it and you have already flared up.
That means that you really want that gimmick, but that man Elyette doesn’t understand…”
Before Mike could finish his sentence, Averie hung up.
If Mike was not helping her look for Adrian, she would surely reprimand him.
After the driver sent Averie back to the Starry River Villa, he dialed Elyette.
“Mr. Foster, I have safely sent Miss Tate home.
Where are you right now? I’ll pick you up,” The driver said.
Elyette replied, “I’m at the airport.
Come and pick me up in an hour.”
The driver said, “Okay.”
An hour later, the driver picked Elyette up from the airport.
Once Elyette got in the car, the driver asked, “Mr. Foster, where to?”
Elyette rubbed the area in between his brows.
He pondered for a while before saying, “To the office!”
The driver said, “Okay.”
After driving off, the driver looked at Elyette’s face through the rearview mirror.
Coincidentally, Elyette saw him doing that, so he asked, “What’s going on?”
“Mr. Foster, when I was sending Miss Tate back, she was talking to someone on the phone.
They were in a fight.” The driver hesitated for a while before saying to Elyette, “The person on the other end said that you didn’t propose to Miss Tate.
You missed out on a step.
Miss Tate was so furious her face flushed.
She even hung up on the other person.”
Averie constantly bickered that way with Mike, but it was the first time the driver had witnessed this, so he thought that Averie was feeling extremely aggrieved.
On top of that, the driver exaggerated his words, which caused Elyette to think that Averie was feeling aggrieved.
Since other people were mocking Averie for not being proposed to, he should just propose to her during the Memorial Day weekend, right?
At that thought, Elyette immediately started planning his proposal.
However, he had never proposed to someone beedfore.
He was inexperienced, so he decided to tap into the hiveminds.
He opened the chat group and sent a text.
[Elyette: I plan on proposing to Averie during the Memorial Day weekend, do you guys have any good suggestions?]
[Ben: Haven’t you two already decided on the engagement date? Why do you need to do the extra step of proposing?]
90[Chad: Mr. Foster just wants to be romantic, right? Proposing in May, getting married in June, it sounds great.]
[Jun: I proposed to Tammy with the help of my family while on holiday. I just decorated the hotel room then prepared some good lighting and filled it with roses and put on some flirty music. Then, I tricked her into the room and knelt on one knee, taking the ring out. She cried because it was just too romantic!)
[Elyette: Isn’t that just too cliche?]
[Ben: Cliche indeed.]
[Chad: Yes.)
(Jun: But Tammy cried! She said that she was super moved!]
[Elyette: Which is why you two are married.]
(Ben: Haha!)
(Chad: Mr. Foster, are you planning to propose outside or at home?]
[Jun: Hmph. Elyette wants a special proposal. He would surely do it outside! If he proposed at home, it would be just as cliche as mine.]
(Elyette: Then, I’ll do it outside!]
Ben, Chad, and Jun were speechless.
Elyette was such a prideful person.
Would he not feel embarrassed?
Elyette saw how they stopped responding.
He calmed down.
He considered the consequences of proposing in public.
He found it unbearable, so he quickly added, [I’ll book a venue outside.]
Ben, Chad, and Jun were once again speechless.
What was the difference between booking a venue outside and proposing at home?
Ben was much bolder.
He asked Elyette this question.
Elyette replied, (If it’s outside, I could hire the best pianist, then hire the best lighting specialist to deal with the lights. Then, I could hire the best chef to make a good meal.I can’t do that at home.)
Ben, Chad, and Jun were stunned! Sure enough, this was Elyette’s style.
[Ben: Do you need our help?]
[Elyette: To be third wheels? She has already agreed to marry me. The proposal is just another form of us on a date.) After a moment, Elyette texted, (This is a secret between us. I want to give her a surprise.]
In the evening, at the Starry River Villa.
During dinner, Mike told Averie his plans for the outing on Memorial Day.
“Why are you telling me this? I’m not going with you anyway,” Averie said calmly.
“I know you’re not coming with us.
I’m telling you because I’m taking Hayden along,” Mike explained, “Will you let Hayden come with us?”
Averie looked at Hayden.
“Do you want to go play with them? Do you have a holiday?”
Hayden said, “I’ve already agreed to them.”
Averie was speechless.
Mike looked smug.
“Since you have nothing to say, I’m taking Hayden out on Memorial Day.
Layla said that she is going out with Eric.
As for Robert, I wanted to take him along, but Mrs. Cooper disagreed.”
Averie placed her utensils down and swept all of them a gaze.
“What is the meaning of this? Are you really leaving me home alone?”
“Didn’t you want to spend time with Elyette alone?” Mike teased, “Shouldn’t you be happy?”
“I wasn’t serious.
He might not even be free on Memorial Day.” Averie felt a little sad thinking about how she was leedft alone.
“Just get him to take you out.
The wedding is in a month! There’s nothing wrong with taking a few days off,” Mike consoled her, “After all, I have already booked a ticket for Hayden.
We’ll give you a video call every day.”
Averie harrumphed and picked her utensils up once again.
Layla coaxed, “Mommy, why don’t you come with me and Uncle Eric! He said that he wants to bring me scuba diving!”
Forget about it.
I’ll just stay at home.” Averie planned to ask Elyette later what his Memorial Day plans were.
At that moment, Mrs. Cooper came over with a bowl of soup.
“Averie, Mike said that he wanted to bring Robert abroad on a trip.
I think it’s not a good idea, so I refused,” Mrs. Cooper said to Averie, “Robert is still young.
His immune system is still weak.
If you’re not there, what would happen if Robert fell sick?”
Averie nodded.
