Chapter 20

Eliza wants to settle and discuss the progress she's made in the year they've been apart after hearing Averill give her a choice.She wanted to resolve the confusion between the two of them and focus on their goals in the beginning. That is very important, and also now they are back together.

"Let's discuss all these things and the information I got about a year ago," she said, after thinking for a moment.

"Aren't you tired?"

"Hmm. Tired? Of course not. " She replied while smiling seductively towards Averill.

Averill, who heard the tone and saw her look full of temptation, clenched her fingers tightly and held back her heart, which was starting to get out of control.

"I mean..."

"No. I'm not really tired. We can talk now. " Eliza added slowly. Now she is getting serious.

"So, you want me to call you Eliza, Jenny, or vice versa?" Averill asked her softly as she looked straight into her smooth face.

"What if you call me 'honey' and I call you 'baby', okay?" She said as she raised her chin to meet Averill's eyes. Averill, who heard her suggestion, was silent for a moment but then heard her wife's soft voice again.

"Or you don't like our spoiled call anymore or you don't love me anymore?" Eliza asked with emotion.

Eliza was most afraid if they talked about love, because after a year they separated due to the 'death' of her and the children. Maybe Averill's feelings for her also began to fade day by day. At first she was still confident in Averill's love for her, but seeing Averill remain silent without saying a word made her feel scared. There was no way she could accept the fact that Averill no longer loved her.

Averill, who was still silent because she was unable to express her happiness as a hermit at that moment, When her wife domineeringly says that they use their spoiled names, she is very happy because she realises that despite being separated due to the "death" of Eliza and her children, her wife's love for her remains intact. She just wanted to hug her wife tightly at this moment and feel the warmth of their embrace. When still seeing Averill remain silent, Eliza almost cried and was ready to get up, but before she could get up from her seat, she was hugged tightly by Averill. She, who was hugged tightly by Averill, felt the warmth of the hug and then sat back and returned the hug. She buried her face in the gap between Averill's shoulder and neck. She smelled the perfume that Averill was using.

Averill's voice answered her, "I'm so glad you suggested we use the old call."

She felt her wife return her hug. She did not expect that the joy she had been waiting for all this time was already in her arms. For a moment, she wanted to keep her distance from Eliza, but when she saw Eliza suddenly get up from her seat, she hugged Eliza tightly without realising it. She was driven by a longing for her wife.

"Honey, don't cry." She convinced her wife, who was already sobbing, to stay at home.She knew her wife was crying because she felt her shoulders wet from the tears her wife had. Eliza, who thought that Averill had no feelings for her anymore, was finally hugged tightly by Averill, crying with joy, plus hearing Averill's voice persuading her while calling her by their spoiled name, which is' honey'.

"Baby.." she answered slowly, but was still in the warmth of her wife's embrace.

"Yes, honey. What's wrong? " Averill asked again and lowered her head to see her face that was now looking at her, but her head was still leaning on her shoulder.

Baby, do you still love honey even though we've been apart for a year?" This was the question he wanted to ask Averill all along. She also, like other women, sometimes feels doubtful.

Averill is young, graceful, and rich. Who is attracted to her when she already has two children who are 7 years old and another is 6 months old?

Averill answered her wife with full honesty while gently stroking her wife's black curls. "My love for honey has never changed, even though we broke up a year ago. I am sure that my love for honey remains intact.

Eliza, who heard Averill's confession, was very happy and cried with joy.

"How about that, honey, still in love with the baby or..."

"Or what? Baby, do you think it's that easy for me to find someone else? Baby, who is willing to love me who already has two children?." She asked Averill if her fingers were ready to pinch Averill. Her habit has not changed.

"Who loves honey if not a baby? Don't hope your baby wants other people to approach you. Honey is only for babies. Listen to that. " She said to Eiza, who was still in her arms but looked at her with love. She is grateful to be blessed with a person who has loved her so much all this time, namely Averill. She also couldn't imagine if Averill suddenly changed her feelings towards her. She only has Averill in her heart, and there can't be anyone else. She never imagined such a thing would happen in her life.

She hoped that even in this life and the next life to come, her partner would be only one Averill. The words spoken by Averill gave her a sense of security towards herself. Averill did indeed often calm her down if she suddenly felt less confident.

"I also love my baby with all my heart and don't ever forget about that."

Averill smiled and nodded her head in a sign that she agreed and would not forget the promise of her wife's words earlier.

How are both my mother-in-laws, baby? Baby has already explained everything to both of them. I'm afraid they will be surprised to see me and the children later rising from the "dead."

"I have already explained to both my mothers about this matter. It's just that at first they didn't believe it, but after hearing the explanation and evidence I showed, they slowly accepted it.

"Yes, I understand because at that time, they also witnessed Honey and Aurora at the funeral at that time. It's natural for them to be surprised. "

"Yup! But after hearing my explanation, they felt relieved. They miss Aurora. "Baby, did you inform my mother that I was pregnant at that time?"

Averill shook his head and said, "No. I didn't tell them about it because I was afraid they would overdo it. We have enough drama now and I don't want them both to have drama too.

Eliza laughed when Averill talked about her two dramatic mothers.

"That's not drama, baby. That's a sign that they care about us as a family, you know. "

"I understand, but their reactions are so ridiculous sometimes."

"Old people are like that; you just have to be patient, baby." She said while caressing Averill's cheek with a meaningful smile.

Averill, who felt her cheek gently caressed by her wife, was happy, and she thought far ahead. When she realised how distant her thoughts were, she shook her head and refocused on their discussion earlier.

Eliza, who saw her, shook her head and smiled widely, but suddenly she remembered Avery and said to Averill again.

Avery has never met you before, so I intend to introduce you to her so she knows you are her other mother. Even though she is still young, he should be respected as an adult.

"Yes, tomorrow we will have a chat with her even if she talks in baby language." Averill said, smiling as she remembered her youngest daughter babbling towards her when he saw her earlier.

"How is Aurora? Has she been going to school or just learning at home?" Averill's question is curious about the progress of her daughter's studies.

"She goes to school as usual and don't worry, she is a very studious person even if sometimes when her laziness comes, she does her homework grudgingly."

"But what about..."

Don't worry about that. I have taken care of everything. I will follow the old man's pace and remember the advice you gave me earlier. " She didn't want her wife to worry and so she told her a little.

"But Aurora seems afraid of Uncle Zhang." "Uncle Zhang, you seem to be unfamiliar with her attitude of being angry, yelling, and emotional. This made Aurora afraid. I never brought her into the house because I know how to talk. Even so, Aurora still heard her loud voice.

"That scared Aurora. Uncle Zhang is really dangerous. "Aurora can be traumatised if she stays there for a long time." Averill sighed worriedly when she remembered the question.

"Yes," I advise Aurora that I am going to care for Uncle Zhang, and since being away from the baby, she always has nightmares. "

"She also often asks about you when you don't say hello or call us. She is always waiting for your call. "

Averill complained, "We are following the original plan. If we continue like this, Uncle Zhang will definitely be ahead of us. I understand what Aurora feels when she is away from me. Remember that now, in Uncle Zhang's eyes, you are a spy he hired. "

Averill reminds Eliza of that. She also felt guilty for not being with her daughter when Eliza gave birth to Avery. At that moment, she could only see from a distance because, outside the delivery room, there was Uncle Zhang, who was controlling her.

If Uncle Zhang saw her there, he wouldn't dare do something out of control while at that time Eliza was vulnerable, sick and wanting to give birth.

He really couldn't do anything but order the doctor and nurse who treated Eliza at that time to take good care of her. She also saw Aurora sitting in the waiting room while waiting for Eliza to finish giving birth. She also saw Eliza being pushed using a trolley to enter the delivery room. All that happened in front of her eyes. Although Eliza understands this matter, as her partner, she should be there accompanying her wife, who is fighting for her life to give birth to their child, as she was by her wife's side when Aurora was born. Avery was not only unfamiliar with her because she had never seen her, but she was not there to celebrate the birth of her daughter. Because her daughter was still young, she could improve their relationship.

What is being faced now is not small, and one of the lives is definitely lost. She did her best to protect her small family and to care for her two mothers who were abroad. She did not feel very worried because many bodyguards were hired and their relatives were there. It is difficult for Uncle Zhang to continue his plan abroad. Not only does he want to protect his good name but also his career. Although he looks smart, sometimes he looks stupid and can't accept himself especially with his wrinkled and old face.

"Honey, I'm sorry I wasn't by honey's side when Avery was born at that time." Averill was sad when she thought about it because she was not by her beloved wife's side. At least she was able to give words of encouragement to her wife when she was fighting for her life giving birth to their child.

"Baby, I understand we sacrificed for them, for our little family. See, we're back here now with a baby and I'm sure Avery also loves babies just like Aurora". Eliza also understands what Averill is thinking, but everything they do is to protect their family. Even when she gave birth, even though she was alone, she still thought positively because Averill would definitely want to be by her side to welcome her daughter and also give her words of encouragement.

The birth of her two children was a sign of love between them, and she never complained even once.

"I used to be mean to you, baby." She suddenly said those words softly while looking at Averill's seat next to her.
