"Ben, you are probably worried that things could go wrong during the wedding, right?" Avery smiled. "I thought Lilith said she would take leave three days before the wedding? You can rehearse every day once she has time off work."
"He's just in a hurry, and I don't even know why. I already told him that I will do the rehearsal once I get some time off, but he won't drop it," Lilith said.
"Lilith, it's my first time getting married. I'm just nervous. I hope you understand."
"Is this your first time? It's my first time as well. Why am I not nervous, then?"
"Because you are young. Young people are more impetuous."
"Impetuous?" Lilith scowled. "Is that supposed to be an insult?"
"Of course, not! Why would I insult you? It just means you are too young to fear anything," Ben said, as he remembered Avery's assistant. "Avery's assistant is the perfect example of this. Her assistant graduated this summer and had the guts to submit her resume to Sterling Group. Daring, isn't she? The advertisement clearly stated that at least three years of working experience is required, but she just ignored that."
Lilith searched for the word on her phone and said, "It says it means incautious!"
Ben froze and glanced at her phone. "Honey, keep reading!" he said, "It means more than that..."
Ben was not drunk yet, so he could read the rest.
"Reckless, careless..." Lilith read the remaining explanation and snatched her phone away.
Ben immediately fell silent.
Tammy chuckled. "Lilith, don't get mad. I've known Ben for a long time, and I know that Ben wants kids, but if that's all he wants, it's simple. He's a brilliant man, so there are plenty of women out there who are willing to bear his child. He's marrying you, and he only wants a child with you, which means he loves you more than he does his unborn child."
Avery immediately poured a glass of juice for Tammy. Tammy had spoken her mind.
Lilith flushed. Occasionally, she would lose control of her emotions and suspect Ben of having an agenda.
"I'll talk to my manager and see if we can postpone my events!" Lilith said. "Maybe it's because I'm too anxious, but my period is late."
