He casually took her bag and handed it to the butler, then led her to the sofa. The butler took the bag for safekeeping while gesturing for the other servants to quickly leave the living room, so as not to disturb Aurum and Ivy. Soon, there were only the two of them left in the living room. Ivy wore a sweet smile on her face, completely embodying the charm of a woman in love. To be honest, as long as she did not think about Aurum using her, this relationship was actually quite perfect. Aurum was a qualified and caring boyfriend. He was attentive and considerate, he would send good morning and good night messages, and he would solve any problem she had promptly."Uncle Aurum!" Suddenly, a child's voice came from outside the door. That was how Joshua was; you would be able to hear him before seeing him. He was very cheerful and quickly ran into the living room. "Wow." Joshua was the first to see Ivy and his eyes widened instantly, not blinking. "Hello, are you a fairy?" Iv
Shawn raised an eyebrow. "So, was I someone he didn't like?""You guys need to sort it out."Shawn snorted coldly."Is this Aunt Ivy?" Nicole also looked at Ivy. "You have such big and bright eyes, and such fair skin, you're really pretty."Ivy covered her face. "If you keep praising me like this, I'll get embarrassed.""Can fairies get embarrassed?" Joshua asked."Yes, they can. Hello, Joshua, nice to meet you. You're even cuter in person than in photos, a real little handsome boy," Ivy replied, reaching out to pat Joshua's head.Joshua straightened his back, striking a pose. "That's right, I'm very handsome, and very cool too.""Nicole is very beautiful too. A charming and beautiful little princess," Ivy praised Nicole again.Nicole asked, "Aunt Ivy, will I be as pretty as you when I grow up?"The fact that Ivy's appearance could receive such high praise from two children was enough to remind everyone how beautiful she was. In the entertainment industry, her beauty was unpa
"Uncle Aurum, we've met so many times, but today is the first time we've met Ivy, so of course she gets special treatment!" Joshua said., "But, you call her by her name, and you call me uncle... is that appropriate? She's my girlfriend," Aurum asked.Joshua thought about it and realized that he did not address her correctly.Should he change and call Aurum by his name too? That did not sound right either, it was awkward. Calling a grown man like Aurum as it was was excessive. However, Joshua could not bear to call Ivy an aunt. She was a fairy sister."What should we do?" Joshua looked conflicted. "Should we call her Aunt Ivy, or should we call him Aurum?" Nicole also fell into deep thought. "It's okay, either is fine. You can call us whatever you want. Aunt is fine, my name is fine, both are okay," Ivy replied. Joshua immediately shook his head. "No, it has to be Ivy, fairy Ivy!" "Uncle Aurum is just teasing you, don't take it seriously." Aurum deliberately had a straight fa
"I think your taste is somewhat weird. There are hits and misses."Aurum was puzzled.Joshua continued, "Natalie is really not good at all. She schemes, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back. I saw it during the time I lived at your house.""Your good taste, however, led you to pursue my fairy Ivy. Aurum, you must treat her well, you can't let an angel suffer!"Then, he quietly approached Aurum and said in a low voice, "You have a good eye for liking Mommy too."After all, Shawn was still around, so he could not let him overhear.After quickly finishing, Joshua pretended to cough twice. "No problem, no problem. This means that the best things come last. What came before was all about enduring trials of love, now is the time to reap true love!" he reasoned, sounding very logical."Yes, being able to have her is my fortune." Aurum nodded."You're more than fortunate, she's practically a fairy who descended from heaven to be by your side!" Joshua said, "When
"If you want to marry someone beautiful, then you better see if you have the skills to handle her!" Joshua thought about it and retorted, "So, did Mommy trick you?"Everyone was speechless."Even if you knew she tricked you, you would have willingly played along, right?"Joshua continued, "So by your logic, since Ivy is so beautiful, she must be the best at tricking people, right? Did she trick you, Uncle Aurum?"Shawn remained unfazed. He replied, "You'll understand when you grow up."Although Joshua's words were innocent, Ivy almost could not keep her expression in check. She was not as good as Shawn. Fortunately, Aurum was not looking at her, so he did not notice. After all, whether it was Ivy tricking Aurum, or Aurum tricking Ivy, or both deceiving the other, it was all about who could be more skillful and emerge as the true winner."Alright, alright, you two always end up bickering. What are we here for today, guys? Do you remember?" Gale changed the subject. Nicole an
"Yes, your child. Anyway, we have a boy and a girl in our family. No matter what gender your child is, there's a chance to become in-laws!" Gale said, winking.Ivy and Aurum smiled. He squeezed Ivy's hand, his thumb gently stroking the back of it. He seemed very much in love with her. However, the bitter reality of it all was known to Shawn, understood by Aurum, and deeply felt by Ivy. Only Gale was blissfully unaware.Aurum's home was especially lively today. The laughter and chatter never stopped. With Joshua, the cheerful one, brightening the atmosphere, and the presence of the obedient and sweet Nicole, time flew past quickly.Aurum and Ivy had also prepared gifts for the two children."Don't buy so many things next time. We have everything at home; there's no need to spend so much," Gale said. Ivy replied, "That's not possible. Today is my first time meeting the children, so I definitely have to give them gifts. Besides..." She looked at Aurum. "We are gifting them together.
"Bye bye!" Joshua was very shy at this moment. After kissing Ivy, he ran away, slipped behind Gale, and hid behind her with half of his head peeking out.He knew it was wrong to steal a kiss but he could not help it.Moreover, he pecked her on her face."Joshua!" Gale quickly pinched his ears.She was both angry and humorous, and did not know what to say.After a while, she controlled herself not to laugh out loud, and said with a serious face, "This is not allowed, you know? Joshua, there are differences between men and women. Boys cannot kiss girls casually.""But I'm not a boy, I'm a child."Gale was speechless.She could not hold herself any longer and wanted to laugh. His logic was sound. A kiss from a child on the cheek was truly innocent. Though, it was not encouraged behavior.She wanted to change it. Some things must be taught and cultivated from an early age!"Shawn, you need to educate your son." Gale directly threw the problem to him.Ivy said, "It doesn't matter
However, Shawn had always been impossible to understand. Ivy was also very skilled at disguising her true feelings. No matter, the main event was yet to come. People could act, but evidence could not lie.After getting into the car, Shawn glanced in the rearview mirror. From this angle, he could see Ivy clearly. She was looking in this direction, her eyes somewhat fixed, lost in thought.Shawn's keen sense of perception made him aware that Aurum could not have arranged this dinner just for the sake of it. There had to be another purpose. He hoped Ivy would be clever enough to protect herself, respond appropriately, and safeguard herself from Aurum as much as possible. Even if she had to abandon evidence, she must prioritize her safety.As the vehicle drove away, Aurum's home gradually returned to its quiet state. After the bustle, it felt empty again."I envy Gale even more now. Just seeing her marriage, I already thought she was incredibly lucky. Seeing her children, I feel like h
