"She said that the person she liked died," Avery lamented, "She said that she would never get married in the future. She is whose feelings run deep."

"I see." Elliot was not interested in matters regarding love. "She was rather honest about this."

"That's because I saw the scar on her wrist, so I asked her about it. We chatted for quite a while. If I hadn't asked her about it, she would not have volunteered such information. When she came to work today, she had a wrist guard on to cover her scar. I think she is afraid that others would ask her about the scar. She would surely not want to recount this incident over and over again."

"Hmm. I feel like I'm going to get busy soon. Leah and George are getting married. Ben and Lilith are getting married."

"I understand. If Layla gets married in the future, we will surely throw a grand wedding for her, too."

"Avery, don't use this as a comparison."
