An hour later, Elliot and Avery left the hotel and headed for the airport.
They were heading toward Kanton, a neighboring country next to Aryadelle and the flight would only take three hours. As it was situated in a beautiful location, it had never been short of tourists.
Avery knew plenty of her friends who had been to Kanton before, but she had not been there personally.
"Have you been to Kanton before?" She asked Elliot.
"No. That place is known to be a spot for couples."
"So I heard. Judging from the photos, the ocean looks beautiful there. I've always wanted to be there, but there's never been a chance." Avery was excited about their trip. "There's no time difference, either. I really hate jet lag. My head hurts every single time I need to adjust to the time difference."
"It is a headache, but Kanton isn't exactly the most beautiful country." Elliot had not been to Kanton because he wasn't interested in the tourist spots in Kanton.
"Can you stop being such a buzzkill? We are going there for our honeymoon!"
"I'm happy to be with you wherever we go. It's not like I'm here to sightsee."
Avery's heart melted at his words. "Darling, can you stop being so mean to Eric?" Seeing that he was in a good mood, she took the opportunity to bring it up. "Eric will be staying in our house for these two days to help look after the kids. I've always seen him as my little brother..."
"I know that you do, but he doesn't feel the same." Elliot had never doubted Avery's feelings toward him, but had never shown Eric any kindness because he knew that Eric was in love with Avery.
"Maybe that's the case before, but he's already given up on me now! We rarely contact each other. If we count our wedding out, the last time I spoke to him was when he went to Bridgedale for a blind date."
Elliot felt slightly reassured by Avery's words. "I'll be more friendly with him in the future, then."
"Stay. If you get tired, just take Ben and leave first. Mike and the others can attend to the guests," Helen whispered.
"Yeah."
Once Ben's parents left, Tammy went to tease Lilith, "your mother-in-law is urging you to give birth!"
"This will have to wait until after we get married," Lilith said. "She said that we need to stay off alcohol, cigarettes and medicine for three months."
"Haha, who on earth would actually follow that kind of rules in real life?" Tammy mocked. "Jun smokes every day and I still got pregnant anyway. Just relax."
Tammy noticed Ben stumbling his way toward them and said, "your old baby is on his way here." Before leaving.
