"Yup!"

Both people fell into deep conversation.

Ben, who was sitting by the door, felt uneasy listening in on them.

"Lilith, can I talk to you in private? We should solve our problems on our own, there is no point involving others," said Ben.

"Uncle Ben, Lilith is also my Aunt, why are you so hard on her?" asked Layla.

"My darling, I'm only trying to solve problems. Relax, I won't hurt her," said Ben.

"Really? How are you planning to solve the problem? Are you planning on running away like my dad?" asked Layla.

Ben could feel a shooting pain in his heart.

"So are you trying to say that I should take responsibility and marry Lilith?" asked Ben.

"That would depend on if Aunt Lilith is interested in you or not. It's not like she would definitely agree to take your hand in marriage," replied Layla.

Ben did not know what to say to that.

"Just think of how young and beautiful Aunt Lilith is, you, on the other hand, I remember you are even slightly older than my dad. Uncle Eric t

I am not spending any more on this book, also the fact I have to go through 15 ads to get very little reading time, that sucks. I agree these little kids are way to smart for their ages

The 7 year old must be a genius to deal with adult topics before even having been in a relationship before herself. Does Layla know about psychology and sexual activities also?

    It was not so much of a secret, rather, it was really private details that no other people would be able to know.Stuff like Avery's passwords were all written on the notebook.However, Elliot was of course uninterested in Avery's passwords. He also did not plan to look through others' private details. Elliot quickly skipped through the sensitive details and finally, on the next page, he saw a picture that Avery glued to the page, it was a picture of the both of them.In the picture, both of them seemed to be having the time of their lives. In the picture, Elliot was kissing Avery's face.The picture caused a sudden spike in Elliot's heart rate. He could feel his chest heaving and his body temperature rising.As Elliot flipped through the remaining pages, every other page was filled with pictures of both of them, they were pictures of them together in the living room, eating together, in the bedroom, both of them together at the mall, in a restaurant and even by the beach.Elli

    Elliot could see a black car just behind them, keeping speed with the car he was in.Elliot turned back towards the road and said, "Look for an empty place without too many people and stop the car." "Okay,". Replied the driver as he floored the pedal and turned into an intersection that led to an area that was less crowded.The bodyguard, of course, followed suit.Just as the bodyguard passed through the intersection, Elliot's car pulled over to the side of the road and stopped.The bodyguard could only slam on the brakes.Elliot got down from the car and calmly walked over to the bodyguard's car.The bodyguard cursed under his breath and wound down his window.When Elliot saw who was tailing him, he finally understood why the car, which was so obviously tailing him, would dare to do something like that."Did Avery send you?" asked Elliot."Of course, why would I follow you if not for the boss' orders. I would rather get some sleep. Which is why you should just let me go, I'

    As the driver reached the bungalow, Elliot got out of the car. Ruby, in a bright red dress immediately came sauntering out of the door. "Elliot, how was your check-up?""Nothing out of the ordinary, the doctor just told me to get more rest," replied Elliot.Ruby hooked Elliot's arm as they walked into the living room, "Then you shouldn't overexert yourself! If you can't bring it up with my father, I can tell him! Daddy can't force you to overwork yourself, you are more important to me than anything on this planet!" exclaimed Ruby."Ruby, why are you dressed so magnificently today?" asked Elliot, changing the topic at hand."There's a surprise guest today! I can't tell you who it is, but you'll know soon enough," explained Ruby."Your birthday is coming up soon, what do you want for your present?" asked Elliot.Ruby blushed and said, "I can't say explicitly what I want, I will like anything that you give me."Ruby had always managed to make Elliot feel at ease.

    "Haven't I already told you that both of them went out in the afternoon? They are not in the house at the moment. I have never seen a woman like you, Mr. Foster already made himself clear, why must you disturb his new life?!" exclaimed the nanny.Avery bit down on her lip, her grip on the bag tightening."You should leave now! Do you seriously think that when Mr. Gould comes back, he would have the patience to calmly ask you to leave? There's no saying what he would do to somebody like you," said the nanny.'Mr. Gould? The eldest son of the Gould family.'Everything that Avery knew about Christopher was from what she was told by her brother. That was why she only knew that the Gould family was currently facing a crisis, but she did not know the specifics of the Gould family.Avery promised her bodyguard to not do anything stupid. The reason she came was just to hand the medicine to Elliot.Avery spent most of her afternoon trying to get access to Elliot's reports and after finall

    Elliot dragged Avery to her car."Open the door!" ordered Elliot."Your recovery isn't as perfect as you think, you didn't meet with the chief physician, right? You have to stop drinking and smoking, I don't care who that Christopher is, you can't joke around with your health," said Avery as she once again tried to give the medicine to Elliot."I told you to open the door!" exclaimed Elliot, he punched the car in frustration.Avery could not help but recoil under the loud bang."I'll leave, now!" said Avery as she stuffed the medicine into Elliot's hands and pushed him off of her.Avery opened the door and just before she got in the car, she looked at Elliot. "Elliot Foster, I won't be here forever. The reason I'm not leaving you is that I know you lost your memories, and I don't know if you would regret this after you regain your memories. If you regain your memories and this is the life that you choose, all you have to do is tell me. I promise you that I'll be gone from your

    Avery wasn't there just to see Elliot, there was actually something wrong with him.On the way back to the hospital, Avery could feel her heart aching.When she went to look for the doctor in the afternoon, the doctor gave her a little black notebook that he found in the dustbin of Elliot's ward.Avery knew that he would surely throw away the medicine too.Avery could only crank up the music, and let all the pain flow through the music.As Avery approached a red light, she slowed down to a stop. A deep melodious voice rang throughout the car, "Going through the rain with you, you threw the umbrella away and hugged me in the rain. We loved each other despite our differences, because of you, I can be me, we are perfect for each other."Avery wanted to go through life's every challenge with him, but now, he had another woman by his side.Avery wanted to use music as an outlet to forget her pain, but instead, just one single line in the song was enough to make her break down, cryi

    After that, Christopher left Elliot and Ruby to their own devices."Boss, personally I think the reason your father asked for you to return was to keep Elliot's power in check. I heard that Mr. Gould had told Elliot that if he can get back his money, he would give him some of the core business to manage," said one of Christopher's lackeys. When Christopher heard what his lackey said, he gritted his teeth in frustration. "Father still doesn't trust me!""Boss, you have to relax. I'm sure that if Mr. Gould asked you to come back, it means that he doesn't trust Mr. Foster also. Even if Mr. Foster is Mr. Gould's son-in-law, he will never be a Gould. That's why there is no way that Mr. Gould would give away his life's work to him," said the lackey."If father hands over too much of the company to Elliot Foster, there's nothing I can do! What is the stubborn old man thinking?" complained Christopher.The lackey fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "Boss, we have to act now, whe

    Elliot decided to do it himself. Elliot opened the cover of the rubbish bin.Just as he was about to reach into the rubbish bin to take out the medicine that Avery left him, the bodyguard stopped him."Mr. Foster! I'll do it!" said the bodyguard, as he quickly took the rubbish bin and moved it elsewhere to stop Elliot from touching the dirty rubbish bin.Elliot retracted his arm and calmed himself down before saying, "There should be a bag of medicine in there. Get it out.""Oh! You mean the medicine that your ex gave you?" asked the bodyguard, who clearly did not have a clear read of the situation, but he took the bag of medicine out from the rubbish bin.Elliot was about to take the bag from the bodyguard when the bodyguard once again stopped him. "Mr. Foster, this just came out of the rubbish bin. It's unhygienic for you to just take it. Allow me to sanitize it first. I'll hand it to you afterward. After all, Gary said that you were germaphobic," said the bodyguard.Elliot sud

    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
