"Haha! I'll have a way of getting your Mommy to accept this. Don't worry and just go to school!"
After Layla left, Robert finished his milk and walked over. He also looked into the bag.
"Robert, baby, are you going to school too? I really want to spend more time with you." Lilith picked Robert up. She was reluctant to let him go.
Robert smiled innocently. "Then, I won't go to school! I'll play with Aunt Lilith! I'll get Daddy to tell my teacher that I'm not going to school today!"
Lilith could not help but snort and chuckle.
"I can play with you on the weekends! If you don't go to school, I'm afraid your Mommy will blame me! Your Mommy did very well in school; she was the school genius!" Lilith carried Robert outside. "Why don't I send you to school? I haven't sent you to kindergarten before!"
"Okay! I'll tell you how to get there, and you can have a look around!" Robert looked proud and Lilith took him out.
Not long after they left, Avery, done with her shower, went downstairs.
Seeing two huge white bags in the living room, she grew a little curious.
Mrs. Cooper said, "Lilith brought them here. She said it's a dressing gown and told me that it is for you."
"Oh, why is she giving me this?" Avery took the dressing gown out of the bag. It was a man's dressing gown. It was extremely long.
"I think this is for Elliot, right?" She held the dressing gown against herself, measuring its size. The hem touched the floor.
"Judging from the length, it is for men," Mrs. Cooper said while pulling out the other gown from the bag. The length of that gown suited Avery.
"Lilith, why did you suddenly buy these for us?" Avery held her breakfast in her hand. She walked over from the dining hall to the living room. "The style is quite nice. I like it very much."
"It's good that you like it! I bought one for myself, and I liked it very much, so I bought each of you one, too." Lilith had come up with that explanation a long time ago. "A dressing gown is worn on the morning of one's wedding. I plan to wear mine on the morning of my wedding."
"Oh, that's nice! The material is shiny too! It's much softer than silk. It would surely look good in photographs," Avery said, complimenting Lilith's choice.
"Hmm! Avery, I have already dry-cleaned the dressing gowns. You can hang it in your closet. You don't have to wear it. You can wait till Christmas to wear it," Lilith said.
Avery was stunned. "Why can't we wear it now? You know your brother likes dressing gowns."
Right at that moment, Elliot came downstairs.
