Chapter 1030 - 022 I want your commitment_4
"?" Avery Graham was somewhat depressed, "Just to make it clear, I haven’t prepared anything for you here, there’s a supermarket downstairs, and if you really decide to stay, you can go down and buy some essentials yourself. I have towels here, but for everything else, it’s up to you what you need to buy. I’m going to take a shower first; the keys are by the shoe cabinet. Take them with you when you go out."
Avery was implicitly agreeing to let him stay overnight. After all, her place had a study room, and there was a Military Folding Bed in it. If Bernard Taylor really decided to stay, he could make do with spending the night there. Since he didn’t mind, she didn’t feel the need to fuss over him too much.
Besides, as for the birth certificate, she could give it to him. Once they got the Marriage Certificate, they could just go to the Family Planning Office to get the birth certificate on top of that.
This was, in a way, keeping a promise.
"Okay," Bernard Taylor nodded his head gleefully in agreement.
After Avery went into her room to take a shower, Bernard Taylor called Nancy Sallow to tell her not to wait up for him, as he wouldn’t be returning that evening. Upon receiving the call, Nancy Sallow was elated and started babbling non-stop by herself, which made Jacob Taylor think she had lost her mind.
After hanging up, Bernard Taylor took the keys and headed to the supermarket downstairs. He bought a box of underwear, a pair of couple’s toothbrushes, mouthwash cups, slippers, pajamas—in short, whatever he could think of; he bought some of each. Even though the quality of these items at the supermarket didn’t really meet his standard, he’d just make do with them for now and gradually replace them later.
By the time Bernard Taylor came back with his purchases, Avery had finished her shower. Her head was wrapped in a towel and she wore modest pajamas with pants as she was spreading the bed in the study room for Bernard.
"You’ll have to make do with sleeping in the study room tonight. The Military Folding Bed is a bit hard, so I put a cotton pad on it which should make it a bit softer. You should go to sleep early," Avery instructed, as she had yet to blow-dry her hair.
"..." Bernard Taylor did not make any additional requests; he simply took a quick shower in the outside bathroom, changed his clothes, and obediently entered the study room to lie down on the bed.
