Lilith furrowed her brows and accepted the documents. She opened them.
"Why is this so troublesome? Is it this troublesome when other people get married, too?" Lilith through the documents and had a look. "What the hell? Do we have to perform an act? What kind of terrible interests do your parents have? Do you think Elliot would perform in public for all of you?"
Ben said, "This is the wedding my parents prepared for us."
"I know… but don't you find it embarrassing that they asked you to perform?"
"No! What is there to be embarrassed about? It's just singing, dancing, and acting, right? I'm a fun person."
Lilith stared at him.
"I got further than you did, and there is also a bride singing a love song." Ben took a deep breath, "Not only that, but the groom also makes an appearance in a cartoon dinosaur costume. The bride must kiss it for it to transform into the groom…"
"Bloody hell! Who designed this? This is so childish!"
"My mother came up with it."
"I never would have thought that your mother was into this. It's just a wedding! Why does she have to make it resemble a play?!" Lilith gave the wedding booklet back to Ben. "The wedding for Elliot and Avery cannot follow your mother's plan."
"And it's all booked. The lights, music, and staff for the wedding have all been booked." Ben tried to calm her, "Elliot has seen all kinds of things. This would not be a challenge for him."
…
Elliot and Avery arrived home.
"More like you want to go out to play on your own, right?" said Avery, chiming in. "You have to recuperate. What happens if there are after-effects?"
"Avery is right. Brain injuries are harder to heal from compared to other injuries," Mrs. Cooper said. "Also, it's almost Christmas. After Christmas, it's New Year's. Master Elliot, I think you can wait until after New Year's to return to work. It won't be too late."
"Mrs. Cooper is right." Avery agreed with Mrs. Cooper's suggestion.
Elliot looked at them. "I had stayed home for half a year before. Do you know what the people in the office called me?"
"Do people in the office dare talk about you?"
"They won't do it in my face, but they secretly gossip behind my back," Elliot said helplessly. "They said that one doesn't stay home that long even after giving birth."
