That evening at Central University, Avery came to pick up Hayden from school.

He had an important test earlier in the morning, and she hoped that he would not make that big a fuss over his result and accept it calmly regardless of whether he got first place.

"How did you do in the test, Hayden?" Daniel and Hayden came out of the classroom together.

Aside from being best buddies, they were also the top scorers in the class.

Hayden was very satisfied with his efforts but answered in a rather modest manner, "Let's wait and see the score tomorrow!"

"Okay! I think I did well." Daniel cocked an eyebrow. "I know you want to go too, so if you ask nicely, I might consider giving my spot to you. But my dad might not agree though."

"I'll rely on my abilities to get the spot. I don't need you to give it to me."

"But you're not as good as I am! We might be good friends, but that's the harsh truth. I got first when I took the final exam, remember?"

Hayden corrected him, "I just scored a littl

    Elliot's expression became slightly gloomy when he heard that. "Why did Henry meet with him?""Henry knows about your relationship with Nathan."Although he knew that it was not something he could hide for long, he did not expect Henry to find out that quickly. He had no idea what Henry would do next.Henry knew everything about him, and things were going to get ugly if Henry were to have a severe falling out with him.After he hung up, he saw Avery's call and immediately called back."Are you coming back for dinner tonight, Elliot?" Avery asked in a gentle voice."Yeah. I'm already on the journey home, but there's a bit of a traffic jam here. Did you pick up the kids?""Yeah." Avery glanced at Hayden and smiled, "Get a cake on your way home! Hayden did well in the test today, so let's celebrate in advance.""Sure thing. What flavor?""Chocolate, but don't buy one that's too big."After the phone call, Avery looked at Hayden again. "I asked your father to buy a cake."Hayden

    "HAYDEN! BE CAREFUL!"Avery ran as fast as she could toward him.Hayden stopped as soon as he saw the speeding truck, and the sound of screeching tires was heard as the truck braked abruptly at a distance of less than half a meter away from Hayden.Avery was so frightened that she burst into tears and ran over to hug him.After hugging him, she wasted not a single second and carried him from the middle of the road to the sidewalk."Let's go home, okay?" Avery held his cold little hand tightly. "I know you've been unfairly accused because you got first place with your own efforts without having anything to do with your father.""I don't want a father like him!" Hayden frowned and shook Avery's hand away. "I'm not going to go back home!"In Hayden's eyes, Starry River Villa was the home of his mother and Elliot. He could not ask his mother to break up with Elliot, so he did not want to go back to that house again!"Where do you want to go if you're not going home? Tell me. I'll g

    "What a drag! They share the same violent temper, and I think you're the one who has to suffer the most because you're sandwiched in between them." Mike patted her on the shoulder. "Would you like to go to Elliot?"Avery shook her head. "Even if he's angry, he won't lock himself up like Hayden did. I'll think about that after we coax Hayden.""You're right. Well, you go and take a break. I'll get the spare key to go in later."When Elliot returned to the mansion, he saw Adrian pruning the branches in the yard with a pair of pruning shears.Meanwhile, Mrs. Scarlet was watering the flowers and plants.It was a very homely and peaceful scene.When Mrs. Scarlet saw Elliot coming back, she immediately took Adrian to Elliot.Mrs. Scarlet gave Adrian a wink, and Adrian immediately said obediently, "Hi, Big Brother."Mrs. Scarlet was afraid that Elliot would get angry, so she immediately said, "Master Elliot, Henry came looking for you a few days ago. He said he couldn't get to you thr

    Elliot did not ask 'who do you want' but instead, "What if I don't?"Henry laughed awkwardly. "I wonder how Mom would feel if she was still alive and saw us turn against each other.""Don't put pressure on me using Mom's name!" Elliot scolded. "You and your son killed her. You have no right to bring that up!""I have no right, you say? Where do you think my right came from?" Henry was breathing noticeably heavily. "At least I'm her biological son! What about you, Elliot? How long do you think you can keep up this lie? You've already taken over my brother's life. Are you honestly going to imprison him illegally for the rest of your life?!""Imprison him?" Elliot was stunned by those two words. "And you're saying that I took over his life? Do you think Mom's hands are clean? She was the one who created this in the first place!""Even though she switched Adrian with you, I can't continue perpetuating her mistakes. More so now that she's dead. Hand Adrian over to me! He's my brother,

    "I know you didn't mean it. But Hayden had a severe falling out with his father because of what you said. You should always think about the consequences of your words before you say anything next time."Avery breathed a heavy sigh of relief after coming out of the school.Daniel promised to apologize to Hayden the next time they met.It was a positive result.After Avery got in the car, she took out her cell phone and dialed Elliot's number.He answered at once."You don't need to fret too much over Hayden. I've already explained it to his classmates. I'll send Hayden to school tomorrow, and Daniel will apologize to him." Avery remembered Elliot's lonely figure when he left that morning and felt especially heartbroken.He invested money into Hayden's school behind the scenes and hired foreign teachers on a high salary. Those actions were all out of love for Hayden.Hayden might not have understood it then, but when he becomes a father in the future, he might be able to finally

    "Do you think I'm scared of him?" Elliot held her cold little hand. "Let them do whatever they want. It won't affect me.""Are you sure you're ready?" The unease in her heart disappeared gradually when she looked at his calm and steady expression."I spent a lot of time thinking about it last night. We can't change the fact that all these things exist. We'll have to face them sooner or later, so rather than being afraid, we should just face everything as calmly as we can." He led her into the resort. "Nothing else matters as long as you and our children are by my side."Avery's tense heart relaxed immediately at that moment."I'm glad you think that way, Elliot." She took a deep breath. "We'll be much braver if we spend every day as if it's our last.""I don't want to think that today is my last day," he murmured. "I haven't spent enough time with you, and I want to be by your side until my hair turns gray.""Hahaha! Let me let you in on a little secret," she said cheerfully. "Re

    Avery then said: [Elliot and Hayden are arguing again. Elliot was supposed to stay at my house but he's now gone back to his mansion.]Tammy replied: [All kids argue with their father. Get Hayden's teacher to give him more homework.][He has a lot already. I don't think he'll attend my wedding since he needs to be out of the country for a competition.][Respect his choice if he doesn't want to attend! His relationship with his father will be better once he's a little older.][Yeah. Would you like to watch my wedding photoshoot? It's at the resort.][Kays. I'll sort my things out and head there in a bit!]After sending the message, Avery looked at Elliot and asked, "Have you found a photographer, Elliot?""Yeah.""Would you like to take some photos in the water? I've seen other people's wedding photos being taken in the water. They're so beautiful!" Avery allowed her imagination to run wild. "I also saw some couples doing their photoshoot on a cliff.""Let me guess, you want to

    Avery's calm heart felt cold all of a sudden."He's extremely afraid of me," Elliot said, "So he would rather go with Henry than stay with me.""Don't bring that up, Elliot." Avery felt a little uncomfortable. "We're having our wedding photoshoot today. Let's not talk about unhappy stuff, okay?"She pondered over it briefly. Even though it was still not a good idea for Adrian to return to Henry's side, it was still much better than remaining with Nathan.Adrian was Henry's younger brother and Henry would not go so far as to abuse his younger brother.Not long later, a team of photographers arrived.Tammy arrived at about the same time too.With Tammy's help, Avery chose three different themes.The weather was quite good that day and the outdoor photoshoot went very smoothly.They originally decided to do one outdoor scene and two studio scenes, but the outdoor scenes were quite relaxing so they did an extra set.Time passed by in a flash and it was already evening.It was di

    Three years later…Ivy and Robert stood at the airport in Aryadelle, anxiously waiting."It's been three years! Your boyfriend is finally here to see you!" Robert exclaimed before shifting the conversation. "He's not here to break up with you, is he? After all, you haven't seen each other in three years. A lot can change."Ivy sighed, "Robert, can you not jinx it? Although we haven't met in three years, we talk on the phone and video call every day!"Robert quipped, "Digital romance.""Anyway, he promised me that he's going to settle down in Aryadelle this time, and we won't be apart again," Ivy said. Robert smirked. "He's got a strong sense of pride. When he meets Dad later, they might not hit it off, and he'll buy a ticket to leave tonight!"Feeling helpless, Ivy was at a loss for words. Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Ivy!"Ivy immediately looked over to the source of the voice and saw Lucas stepping out of the exit, dragging his suitcase behind him. A smile sp

    Mr. Woods did not expect Hayden to be so direct, and he found himself momentarily caught off guard. He had come to ask Hayden for money, but he had not thought about exactly how much he wanted. After all, Hayden's family was extremely wealthy, and he did not want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged, nor did he want to risk asking for too much and having Hayden refuse. It was a tough decision. After a brief internal struggle, Mr. Woods turned to Hayden and said, "I know your family is one of the wealthiest in Aryadelle, so why don't you name the price? I trust you won't mistreat my son and our family." Hayden furrowed his brows slightly. Shelly, noticing his hesitation, quickly chimed in, "Uncle, why don't you make an offer? We're not very familiar with this process. If you insist on us naming a price, we might need to consult my father-in-law." "Elliot Foster, you mean?" Mr. Woods asked. Shelly nodded. "Yes. My father-in-law isn't as easygoing as my husband. After a

    "All right. Let's find a place nearby to sit and talk." Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Good! Our house is actually nearby. Would you like to visit? Ivy has been with us for many years, and our staff has a close relationship with her." Hayden glanced at Shelly and asked, "Should we go?" "Sure!" Shelly said. Mr. Woods immediately invited Hayden and Shelly into his car and drove them to the Woods' mansion. Upon arriving, Mr. Woods instructed the servants to serve tea and refreshments. He pointed to the butler and said to Hayden, "This is our butler. He hired Ivy's grandmother." Hayden nodded. Mr. Woods then introduced Hayden: "This is Irene's older brother, the renowned businessman Mr. Hayden Tate." "Hello, Mr. Tate. Irene was a wonderful young lady," the butler said. "We all liked her very much. When we heard of her passing, we were truly saddened. Fortunately, she didn't actually pass away! Ivy is a very sensible and resilient girl, one of the strongest I've eve

    Ivy's eyes were red as she said, "Hayden, Lucas' mother has passed away, so I won't be able to spend time with you for a few days." "It's okay. Given what has happened, we're not in the mood for fun either. After we attend his mother's funeral, Shelly and I will return," Hayden said. Ivy nodded. "How are funerals handled here?" Hayden asked. Given Lucas' relationship with Ivy, his younger sister, he felt a sense of duty to help Lucas with the funeral arrangements. "It's similar to how it's done back at home. Wealthy people can have elaborate funerals, and those with less money can opt for simpler ceremonies. Those who can't afford much at all can forgo the ceremony and opt for a simple burial," Ivy said. "What if someone wants a more elaborate funeral?" "Hayden, do you want to help with his mother's funeral? He doesn't have any close relatives here, so there's no need for an elaborate ceremony," she explained. "I see. Go and talk to him about it. I'll help with whatever I

    Lucas hung up, tears welling in his eyes. Ivy stood by his side and asked, "What's wrong, Lucas?" "My mom has passed away. You should keep your brother company! I need to head back to the hospital." "I will come along! Aunty seemed fine just now, so why did she suddenly pass away?" The two hurried toward the car, completely forgetting about Hayden and Shelly. Hayden and Shelly watched as they left awkwardly, and Shelly said, "Honey, let's go to the hospital. I think Lucas' mother has passed away." "Sure." The two caught a taxi and hurried after Lucas. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lucas arrived to first encounter the doctor and then his father. Mr. Woods tried ingratiating himself with his son, saying, "Lucas, I came to the hospital to see your mother, but when I arrived, she had already passed away. What a shame!" "Are you sure she had already passed away before you came? I was here earlier today, and when I saw her, she was still alive!" Lucas said. Mr. Woods reto

    Mr. Woods sneered, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Although the Woods family has fallen on hard times, we're still a prominent family in Taronia! Lucas may be foolish, but are you any wiser? If it weren't for me backing Lucas, would the Fosters even look at him?" "Shut up! The Foster family isn't narrow-minded like you! Ivy's family doesn't dislike Lucas, so don't go causing trouble! They don't want to see you at all!" Lucas' mother retorted. Mr. Woods scoffed. "Is that so? Do you really think they don't look down on him? Why wouldn't they? Are they planning to make Lucas marry into their family instead of the other way round?" "It's none of your business! You never cared about Lucas, and now that he's independent, he doesn't need you anymore! You wouldn't have come to me repeatedly if Ivy wasn't Elliot Foster's daughter and if she wasn't interested in Lucas. Do you really think I have no idea what you are plotting?" Mr. Woods countered, "What nonsense are you ta

    Ivy did not hesitate, immediately shaking her head. "I'm not leaving. Don't worry about me; just focus on yourself." "Staying here is just a waste of time." "I've been studying and interning so hard for so long. What's wrong with taking a break now?" Ivy argued. Before long, Hayden and Shelly had finished their shopping, and Ivy and Lucas immediately joined them to go to the hospital. Lucas' mother had no idea that Ivy's brother and sister-in-law were coming to visit her, so she appeared a bit uncomfortable when they arrived. She tried to sit up, but her body failed her. Ivy raised the head of the hospital bed. "Aunty, my big brother and sister-in-law came over to Taronia for a visit. They wanted to see Lucas and you." "Oh, this is really embarrassing. It's a blessing for my son to know Ivy..." Lucas' mother muttered sheepishly. Shelly reassured, "Aunty, don't say that. Lucas is outstanding. Otherwise, Ivy wouldn't have fallen for him." Lucas' mother continued, "I've

    Throughout the meal, Ivy found it hard to enjoy her food. Lucas and Hayden discussed everything that mattered, and the conversation went smoother than anyone had anticipated. Hayden was not upset, nor was Lucas. It was a better scenario than what Ivy had hoped for, but she still felt depressed. "Lucas, my husband and I would like to pay your mother a visit. Would that be okay?" Shelly asked after finishing her food. "Sure," Lucas said. "Don't we need to ask your mom first?" Ivy asked. "It's fine. We can just head over right away and introduce them once we arrive." Lucas' mother grew weaker every day and had stopped using her phone altogether, so it was her nurse, whom Lucas had hired, who reported his mother's condition to him daily. "You restarted your business and have to take care of your mother simultaneously; you're really strong. Most people would crumble under the pressure," Shelly commented. "Ivy had a tougher life before. She didn't crumble, so I won't eith

    After what Ivy said, Lucas added, "I want to focus on my career for now. Marriage is secondary until I become more successful." Hayden sneered. "Running a business isn't as simple as it seems. What if you fail or never achieve anything out of the ordinary?" "If that happens, I won't drag Ivy down," Lucas said. "At least you know your place." Ivy felt as though her cheeks were on fire. "Hayden, even if Lucas fails, I won't give up on him. I won't let him go just because of his financial state." Shelly grabbed Hayden's hand again, signaling to him to control his temper; he could be rude to others, but he could not be so demanding with Ivy. Ivy sensed that she was slightly out of line, and her tone eased. "Hayden, we shouldn’t judge people based on their wealth. Our family is rich enough, and there really aren't that many people out there who can compare to our financial state, so why does it matter how wealthy my partner is?" "Ivy is right. Love matters most. Even if we man
