"The owner's wife and kids were in the shop with him, weren't they?" Ivy still thought that the tree was too expensive. "If I didn’t think that Layla would like it, I wouldn't even pay seven hundred and seventy-seven for it."
"Haha, your sister will be touched if she knows that you spent so much for her." Avery could tell how much Ivy cared about Layla.
"I wonder how the talk between Layla and Dad is going." Ivy was slightly worried. "He won't get mad at her, will he?"
Avery shook her head. "I don't think so. Your dad is a good father. Even if he finds fault with his children's actions, he would never get angry."
"I'm just worried that Dad might not give Layla her passport," Ivy said worriedly. "Layla has already moved in with Eric, so I don't see a point in stopping them from getting married."
"You might think that, but your dad thinks differently. Your sister is far too reckless. Just because she is suddenly in the mood to get married, she insists on doing it today and didn't even bother informing others..." Avery said with resignation.
"Layla has been through a lot with Eric, and all that's left is for them to get registered and married." Ivy could understand how Layla felt; after all, anyone would become reckless when they found someone they loved.
"Don't worry. Your dad won't make it hard for them. Let's just wait for good news." Avery had been with Elliot for years and knew him like the back of her hand.
"Okay! Mom, what else are we going to buy?" Ivy smiled.
"We will need flowers and plants. After that, we will need to buy some lanterns and lights... oh, and some blank paper as well so that we can write our New Year's resolution. Have you tried that before, Ivy?"
Ivy shook her head. "No."
"I will show you. It's simple."
"Sure!"
At five in the evening, Layla and Eric received their marriage certificate at the Civil Registry Office.
Layla took a photo of the certificate and sent it to the family chat group.
[I'm married! I'm married! I'm married!!!]
