"Mommy!" Robert suddenly walked over and hugged her leg.Avery's heart instantly melted into a puddle.She immediately placed her phone down and looked at her son in surprise. "Babe, I saw you having fun with your toys, so I didn't disturb you. I didn't think that you would come to look for me."She carried Robert in her arms and kissed him on his cheeks."I'll bring you for your vaccination later, don't cry, okay?"Robert's dark eyes opened wide. He did not understand the meaning of vaccination.He had injections previously, but it was when he was asleep, other times was when they took a toy to distract him, so he barely cried. However, he was older at that moment, so it was harder to distract him."Avery, if you're hungry you can have some fruit first," Mrs. Scarlet came over and said with a smile, "If you were to tell us you are coming back for lunch, you wouldn't have to wait.""I'm not hungry. If I was hungry, I would have had lunch outside." Avery smiled. "I got up early

Returning home, Avery felt empty.In fact, it was not always that Elliot could reply to her messages immediately. If she was not about to ask him for his shares, she would surely not be that nervous.She held her phone and refreshed her chat several times. She still did not get a reply.She sent Tammy a message, [Tammy, how are you and Jun recently?][Tammy: Nothing much. He has been quite busy recently.][Avery: When you send him a message, how long does he usually take to reply?][Tammy: He'll reply when he sees it! Why do you suddenly ask me about this?][Avery: I sent Elliot a message at noon. He has not replied to me yet.][Tammy: Why don't you just call him directly and ask? He must be busy, so he hasn't seen the messages, if not, he would surely reply to you.][Avery: I thought so too, so I don't think I should call him. He'll be back home by evening anyway.][Tammy: Hmm, didn't you go to work today too?][Avery: I brought Robert to get his vaccination, so I didn't go

"Oh, is your charger broken? I have a charger with me. I'll get it for you…""No need." Elliot's charger was not broken. He just did not want to charge his phone. His phone ran out of battery from listening to the recording of Avery. He listened to the recording the entire afternoon.At that moment, as long as he heard anything that had to do with Avery, Adrian, and Henry, his heart hurt. He also felt nauseated.Chad could not help but ask, "Mr. Foster, what is happening between you and Avery this time?""Don't ask things you're not supposed to ask. Don't tell things that you're not supposed to tell." Elliot looked at Chad coldly.Chad immediately shut up. "I got it. Are you returning home tonight? If you're not returning, I'll go get you dinner right now.""I haven't thought about it.""If you don't return her calls, I think she'll come to the office to look for you later," Chad reminded Elliot, "You have never left her hanging before. She would surely think likewise.""It's b

Avery furrowed her brows and came out of the dining hall. She decided to drive to Elliot's office to look for him.She wanted to know if he was truly so busy, that he did not have time to check on his phone, or if there were other reasons.Half an hour later, she parked her car at the entrance of the Sterling Group building.The lights on some of the floors of the building were still on. She immediately walked into the lobby.When the guards saw her, they immediately let her enter.She took the lift up to Elliot's office. With a ding, the doors of the lift slowly opened.The corridor lights were still on, but the lights in Elliot's office were off. He was not in the office. Was he already on the way back home? She was much more disappointed than she was hopeful.She felt that something must have happened. If not, he would not have gone without contacting her for so long.They had been very sweet together after their marriage. Even if they spent 24 hours a day together, they w

Making negative assumptions about Avery was something Elliot would never do, but her conversation with Henry was like a stab in the back for him.Had she ever thought that he, just like Adrian, was a human being too? Adrian might be in a pitiful situation, but did that give her a free pass to save Adrian at his expense?He would not have been that heartbroken if she consulted him first and received his consent before talking to Henry on the phone.Chad sent him to the hotel and came out.It was almost July and the nights were getting warmer.Chad already started to sweat even though it had only been seconds since he came out of the hotel.He got into the car and dialed Ben's number."I don't know what to do now, Ben." His mood was severely affected by Elliot. "I feel like I've lost my job."Ben frowned. "Did he fire you? What did you do?""I don't know what I did, but I don't think I did anything wrong." Chad took a deep breath, "But he just told me not to call him Mr. Foster

Avery, however, could not figure out why he would do that.Since Henry and Cole would never be bold enough to look for him, could someone else have done so instead?Avery looked at the chandelier in a daze as she lay on the bed.All of a sudden, a terrible thought appeared in her mind.How was she supposed to ask him for the shares if he remained unreachable and did not come home?Although she felt that it was inappropriate to be thinking about such stuff at that time, it was undoubtedly a very desperate situation.If she could not fulfill her promise to Henry in a week, Henry and Cole might torture Adrian!Tears streamed down the corners of her eyes when she thought of that.She thought she had already experienced despair two days ago, but that was nothing compared to what she was facing then!What she was going through then was the epitome of despair!Knowing Elliot's temper, he might continue to ignore her in the foreseeable future if she ignored him that day.Even though

Mike's stern roar resounded in Avery's ears and reached Chad's ears too.Chad's anger surged up in an instant and he strode behind Mike to give him a pinch on the back.Mike endured the pain and immediately rephrased his sentence. "What I'm saying is that you don't have to wait for him here! It's such a waste of time! No company president would come to work this early!"His explanation did not convince Avery.The phrase 'he's not coming' echoed constantly in her mind.The strength in her body drained away like a balloon being deflated.Mike dragged her out of the office with ease and they left the Sterling Group.He stuffed her into the car and fastened her seat belt. "I'll get someone to drive your car back."Mike got into the driver's seat and immediately drove away.Avery looked out of the window and watched as she was going further and further away from the Sterling Group's building. She murmured, "Mike, you said earlier that he's not coming. Who told you that?"Mike felt

Avery felt better when she thought of that.Perhaps, she was never destined to be with him after all!They could have as many children as they liked, but they would never be able to grow old together."Don't cry, Avery!" Mike felt a twinge of regret when he saw her weeping.He would never have called Elliot if he knew that would happen."I'm fine..." She raised her hand to wipe her tears, "Just let me cry for a bit.""How am I supposed to go to the company without worrying about you?" Mike said dejectedly."I want to be alone." She spoke while being choked with sobs. "Drive me to my home.""Okay." Mike turned the car around at the intersection ahead and drove toward Starry River Villa.At the hotel, Chad pressed the doorbell to Elliot's room.Elliot was completely disconnected from everyone. His cell phone had not been turned on yet and he had not responded to any of the work emails that Chad sent.Chad was very worried, so he came to have a look.Unfortunately, he rang the

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
