"I've only stopped eating spicy food since we got together. You don't eat spicy food, so my preferences kind of changed as well," she complained, "Before we started dating, I was really good at stomaching spicy food."

"Fine, let's get both flavors." Touched, Elliot decided to go along with it.

In a rented apartment, Cole spent all morning on his phone, hoping that Avery would contact him again.

He had thought that Avery was a sentimental woman and that she would definitely compromise when dealing with Shea's condition; however, Avery had not gotten in touch with him since she hung up on him early in the morning.

"I read her wrong!" Cole gritted out, "Has she given up on saving my aunt? What a ruthless woman she is!"

Henry was making tea and felt unsettled. He had wavered the night before because accepting Tate Industries and selling it meant that they would obtain a great sum of money and avoid facing Elliot directly. The two of them could leave Aryadelle and live the rest of thei

    "Yes." He handed her the tissue and stared into her eyes. "Why are you tearing up?"She wiped her tears with the tissue and said, "Probably because it's been too long since I had spicy food so I am kind of struggling to stomach it; besides, when I think about how caring you've been to me and the children, I feel like I have the entire world in the palm of my hand.""Isn't that a good thing?" His heart ached at the tears in her eyes."It's good! I am happy." She picked up the glass to take a sip of water. "Elliot, I came across a comment on social media last night that said you value money and profit above all. That person even said that you married me because I am not so bad at earning money as well; that you probably wouldn't marry me if I can't make money."Elliot gaped at what she said."That's why I asked you the question just now," she continued."Do you think that all the things I've said to you in the past are nothing but lies?" He questioned in a cold tone."Of course I

    Avery had thought it through. Back then, Shea sacrificed her life to save Robert. Her love for Robert came from her love for Elliot.Her love for Elliot was no less than Avery's love for Elliot.If Shea was conscious at that moment, she would not be willing to let Elliot be threatened by Henry and Cole.After lunch, Avery held Elliot's hands and led him out of the restaurant."Elliot, let's take a walk!" "Hmm. What do you usually do when you go shopping with Tammy?" Elliot asked curiously.Avery often shopped with Tammy until the evening before returning home."Sometimes, she gets her hair done, or a manicure. It takes time. Other than that, we would be either shopping or eating. Tammy loves buying handbags. She has a few rooms at home just to store them."Elliot said, "Compared to Tammy, you seem as if you don't have many desires.""I do have desires. I keep you close to me, isn't that a big enough desire?"Elliot felt great about that. He held her hand. "Let's go get yo

    Before sending the message, Avery hesitated for a while. In the end, she deleted her well-drafted message.How could she give up on Shea's life? Was she at her wit's end already?She took a deep breath, planning to calm herself down before thinking of a solution.An hour later, Layla came home from school. When she returned, she immediately headed to Elliot."Daddy, did you fight with Dylan's mother today?"When Avery heard Layla's questions, she immediately walked over and explained to Layla, "Layla, Daddy did indeed fight with Dylan's mother, but Daddy is not wrong.""Hehe! My teacher told me all about it! I knew that Daddy loves me best," Layla said and climbed onto Elliot, held his face with both her hands and kissed his cheeks hard.Seeing how affectionate father and daughter were, Avery was delighted. "Did Dylan transfer schools?""No, he transferred to another class.""Hmm, Layla, don't be affected by this. When friends get bullied, you should courageously stand up and

    After being abroad for the past few days, Hayden has thought through his hatred for Elliot.He hated Elliot interfering with his life, whether it was the past or the future. He could not accept that.However, Mike also told him that parents and children have their thoughts about each other.Although Elliot interfered in his education, Elliot came from a good place. Furthermore, once he resisted Elliot, Elliot would immediately stop his actions.Elliot was not a bad father.It was now nine at night. Chad accompanied Ben to an event. Since Ben's alcohol tolerance was great, he also liked drinking, so everyone kept raising their glasses to him.Chad had persuaded him a few times, also trying to drink on Ben's behalf, but Ben refused his kindness."Things aren't going well for me recently. Why did I make that woman stay? My brain must be fried, that's why," Ben complained to Chad, "So I must drink more!""Ben, stop. If you're really in pain, just tell Mr. Foster," Chad consoled.

    Lilith was doing a mental calculation. She should just take the three thousand. Even if Ben did not drink too much, she would still want to earn it. She was not with another man. Ben would not be too fierce, right?After receiving the three thousand in her account, she entered the room."Lie in bed, don't turn on the light. We'll send him in later," The fat man said, "You should be close to Mr. Schaffer, right?""I don't know him well!" Lilith said nervously with shifty eyes."He got you in his car the last time, yet you're still denying it! If you were to stick with him, you won't have to worry for the rest of your life."The fat man looked at the time. "I'll go check up on Mr. Schaffer. Don't run!""I've already taken the money, I won't run," Lilith said, but she was starting to panic.Ben would surely scold her because he often looked down on her job. She did not want to be scolded by him, so on a whim, she took her bag and entered the washroom.Soon after, she realized th

    "Okay, I'll go look for a place for her.""Hmm." Avery thought for a while. "She's a lady living alone. Find her a safe neighborhood.""If I find her a good place, will she take it for granted?""If you're worried about this, you can rent her a house first and you pay the rent," Avery suggested, "If you're satisfied with her, then you can buy her one."Elliot's gaze was cold. "Other than you and the children, I do not want to pay for another person's life.""I know, but she is your sister. Also, Nathan is not as evil as we think. If he didn't surrender himself…" Avery could not continue her sentence."Go shower! I'll show you once I pick a place," Elliot did not want to continue the topic."Okay."The next day, Avery headed over to Ben's early in the morning.Ben's house door was shut tightly. They seemed to not be up yet.Avery took her phone out and dialed Ben. At that moment, a shuffling of footsteps came from behind.When she turned around, she saw Lilith.Lilith had a

    Given Avery's current relationship with Cole, if Cole did not deliberately make things difficult for her, it was considered great already.What nice things could he give to her? Avery's thoughts ran wild. Was he planning or scheming again?!"You'll know it once you see it! I guarantee you it's something good!" Cole asked, "Where are you right now? I'll get someone to send it to you."Since Cole wanted her to see what it was so urgently, Avery wanted to know what it was too!She pondered for a few seconds and said, "Send it to the office!" If she were to send it to Elliot's mansion, Elliot would surely see it."Okay." Cole hung up.Avery came out from the neighborhood. She had just gotten in the car when Elliot called. Even if he did not call her, she was planning to make a call to him."Avery, Ben just called me, saying that you have already dealt with Lilith." Elliot did not expect things to go so smoothly. "Was she uncooperative or did she throw a tantrum?""No," Avery said

    "I wanted to drink some water last night, so she served me a cup of water in the dark. I told her to turn on the lights, but she outright refused. I suspect that she must be extremely ugly, if not she would not have been like that. Forget about it, I don't want to cause her any trouble. She's so ugly I guess she could only earn some money in the dark. It's not easy too."Chad was stunned! "She's so ugly, yet you two…"Ben coughed and said awkwardly, "Don't tell others! It's too embarrassing! I had one too many drinks last night, I wasn't in control of myself. Sigh! My alcohol tolerance is not as good as before.""It has nothing to do with your alcohol tolerance. You overdrank last night. No matter who it was, they would be drunk too.""The next time, if I ever get drunk, I'll pay you one hundred and fifty thousand." Ben decided to use this method to control himself. Upon saying that, there was a knock on the door. They looked over and saw Elliot entering."Mr. Foster, why are

    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
