로그인Evan was lying on his back, one arm behind his head, the other resting comfortably across her waist like he never intended to let her go.Avery poked his chest.“You know,” she said dramatically, “I think you tried to kill me just now.”Evan turned his head slowly, raising an eyebrow.“Oh really?”“Yes,” she said, nodding seriously. “Completely exhausted. I might need a week to recover.”A smirk tugged at his lips.“A week?” he said. “That long?”Avery groaned and buried her face in his shoulder.“You’re not taking this seriously.”“I am,” he replied calmly, pulling her closer against him. “I’m just surprised my wife is complaining.”She peeked up at him with a mischievous grin.“I’m not complaining,” she said quickly. “I’m just… documenting the situation.”Evan laughed under his breath.“Documenting?”“Yes. Evidence,” she said proudly.He rolled onto his side, propping himself up on one elbow so he could look at her properly.Avery’s cheeks were still slightly pink, her eyes bright w
Avery collapsed onto the terrace sofa, phone in hand, scrolling through the photos she had taken during the day. The Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery… every picture captured her excitement, her laughter, and Evan’s soft, protective glances.With a grin, she posted them to her social media account, captions simple and joyful: “First day in Florence! Loving every moment with my two favorite boys”Almost instantly, the notifications started pouring in.Maddie: “OMG STOP. Are you serious?? Jet-setting in Italy while we’re stuck at home? I hate you a little ”Lacy: “Okayyyyy Avery… HOW does Evan look at you like you’re the only person in the world?! I can see it through these pics!! ”Natalie: “Brooo… you’re glowinggggg and that little baby outfit?? I’m literally screaming!! You’re living the dream and it’s not fair!!”Avery laughed so hard she nearly dropped her phone. She tapped back a quick reply to Maddie.Avery: “Relax, Maddie! I’m just living a little. Don’t hate me too m
The jet landed smoothly in Florence, the Tuscan sun bathing the city in a golden glow. Avery pressed her face to the window as the rolling hills and terracotta rooftops stretched out beneath them.“This is… unreal,” she whispered, awe in her voice.Evan’s arm wrapped around her shoulders as they disembarked. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it? And it’s just for us.”Avery glanced at him, smiling. “I can’t believe this is happening. I’ve never traveled like this before.”Evan chuckled softly. “You’ve never traveled with your billionaire husband either.”She rolled her eyes playfully. “You’re enjoying reminding me, aren’t you?”“Every second,” he replied, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “But I’m serious, wifey. This trip is about you and our baby. Nothing else.”A sleek black sedan was waiting to take them to their hotel, a beautiful boutique villa overlooking the Arno River. The driver stepped out to open the doors, but Evan remained by Avery’s side, his protective presence obvious to
The car finally pulled into the long driveway of the estate.As soon as the vehicle stopped, the driver stepped out and opened the door for them.Evan gently helped Avery out of the car, instinctively placing a steady hand on her waist.“You know I’m capable of walking on my own,” Avery teased.Evan looked at her calmly.“Yes.”“But you won’t let me.”“No.”Avery laughed as they walked toward the mansion together.Inside, the house staff greeted them warmly before returning to their duties.Avery kicked off her shoes the moment they stepped into their room, letting out a small sigh of relief.“Finally,” she murmured.Evan loosened his tie, watching her carefully.“Long day?”“A little,” she admitted as she sat on the edge of the bed.He walked over to her, crouching slightly so he was at eye level.“Are you tired?”“Not really.”Evan studied her for another moment before nodding. “Good.”“Why?”“Because we have packing to do.”Avery’s eyes widened slightly.“Oh right! The Italy trip!
The moment the Rolls-Royce disappeared down the road, the quiet outside the school gate exploded into chaos.Students immediately surrounded Lacy and Maddie.“Wait, wait, wait!”“Since when is Avery married?!”“Is that really Evan Benson?”“Did she actually say she’s pregnant?!”Questions came from every direction, overlapping until neither of the girls could even hear themselves think.Lacy raised both hands in surrender.“Okay! One at a time!” she said, trying to calm the crowd.But that only made the curiosity worse.“Is she really his wife?”“Is that baby his?”“How long has this been going on?”Maddie exchanged a quick glance with Lacy before sighing.“Well… yes,” Maddie finally admitted.The reaction was instant.“What?!”“You’re serious?!”Lacy crossed her arms.“She’s happy, okay?” she said firmly. “And that’s all that matters.”“But she’s still in high school!” one girl argued.“And?” Lacy shot back. “She’s finishing school, taking her exams like the rest of us. What’s the pr
The last day of school before the break arrived sooner than Avery expected.The campus was buzzing with excitement. Students filled the hallways, some celebrating the upcoming holidays while others anxiously discussed the final exams waiting for them after the break.For many of them, it also meant something even bigger.University.Applications had already been sent out to prestigious schools across the country, and everyone was waiting for acceptance letters that could determine the next chapter of their lives.Avery leaned against her locker, her hand resting unconsciously on her stomach as she listened to Lacy chatter beside her.“I swear if we both get accepted, we’re totally sharing an apartment,” Lacy said excitedly. “Can you imagine? No parents, no curfew, just freedom!”Avery laughed softly.“I don’t think Evan would agree with the ‘no curfew’ part,” she teased.Lacy rolled her eyes dramatically.“Well, you’re technically married now, Mrs. Benson. Your life is already ten ste
