"You want kids? It's simple. I can take you to an orphanage right now. There are kids at all ages and you can take as many kids as you want," Avery teased.
Elliot blushed. "I just want kids of my own blood."
"Should we have another child, then?"
"..."
"Why bother asking the kids when we can do it?" She chuckled.
"I was just saying that. Let's not have another kid." Elliot had given up on having more children a long time ago.
"Don't say what you told me earlier to the kids. Just because you want grandchildren, doesn't mean you should force them into having kids!" She shot him a glare.
"I won't say any of the things I said to you." He shrugged. "Layla is dead set on marrying Eric. Eric needs to take Antirejection medication from now on, right? That means those two are definitely not having kids. As for Hayden, do you think I dare to force him into marriage?"
"You dare to do it to Robert." She lifted an eyebrow. "You raised him and he listens to you."
"That depends on if he has a girlfriend. If he has a girlfriend who is a great person, I might urge him to get marry, but he doesn't even have one right now."
"If you really have that much time on your hands, we can get a cat or a dog," Avery suggested.
"My patience is reserved only for our kids and their kids, so no, thank you." He rejected the idea right away.
"Alright, then."
They two strolled by the river and spotted someone fishing in the distance, so Elliot walked over to chat with the man out of curiosity.
"I don't think you can fish in this river, right?"
"No one cares," the man said.
