"You can write a few more copies, and we can use them as gifts," said Avery. "Wesley invited us to eat dumplings at his house tomorrow. We could give him two copies. "Avery, are you sure that my calligraphy level is the level of gift-giving?""Of course! So long as you don't try and rival real calligraphers, you won't be viewed as an amateur."Elliot could not help but laugh.She cut the red paper while he prepared the pen and ink.Robert watched the excitement with his big eyes that were as clear as gems."Elliot, I found some couplets on the internet. Let's see how you do." After finding a few couplets, she brought her phone over and showed them to him. "I think this is pretty good..."And this one is also good." Avery read a few couplets to him. Elliot frowned slightly. "This has too many strokes.""I thought you could write anything!""I could, but maintaining style is something else entirely.""You should try. What if it looks good? Who knows?""All right." Elliot t

"Robert, don't put ink on your face." Elliot was not angry when he saw the couplet destroyed.Looking at Robert's little black hands, his clothes full of black ink stains, and his mottled little black face, Elliot furrowed his brows."I ignore you for a few minutes, and you find some ink to play with?" Avery walked up to Robert and undressed him. "How did you get the ink? I didn't see you crawling on the table!"Robert understood what his mother said and pointed his little hand to the side.On a chair next to it, there was a bottle of ink."I took it out while looking for ink, but I forgot to put it back," Elliot explained. "I don't blame my son.""Don't be too protective of him. I don't know how he unscrewed the cap." Avery took off her son's clothes and took him for a bath.Elliot looked at the mess his son had created and shook his head.He did not know if Hayden was so naughty when he was a child, but Robert was visibly much naughtier.The next day, Avery and Elliot visite

"We'll hang it on Wesley's door, then." Shea blushed. "When I marry him, his house will be mine as well."Avery pulled Shea down to sit on the couch. "Shea, you've recovered a lot from the last time I saw you. Maybe your brother will agree to you two marrying each other by next spring.""I am eighty pounds now, but Wesley said for someone my height, I'd have to reach ninety pounds or above to be normal.""Yeah, you are still too skinny right now, but you can't binge eat either or it will only hurt your body."Shea listened carefully and nodded. "Avery, I want a wedding on a grass field.""Sure! That can be romantic, too."The two started talking about all the details of the wedding. Seeing how happy they seemed, Wesley did not have the heart to interrupt them.Their relationship had barely even started, and they talked as though the wedding was right around the corner.He noticed that Hayden was sitting by himself and walked over. "Hayden, how are you getting used to being back

After Jed's death, Avery had been in contact with his family through phone and text messages.Both of Jed's parents were highly educated and understanding by nature. Though Jed's death had affected them greatly, they had not blamed Avery for it at all, and this made Avery feel more guilty.Elliot and Avery arrived at the Hutchinsons' house and tears instantly gathered in her eyes when she saw the gray hairs around Mrs. Hutchinson's temples."Auntie, I have been meaning to pay you a visit but my husband had been severely injured, so I had to delay my visit."Mrs. Hutchinson poured them two glasses of water with a serious expression. "I told you not to come. It's too much trouble for you! It's not Jed's death that pains us most, but the fact that Jennifer had died in a foreign country trying to avenge him..."Mrs. Hutchinson could not help but sob, and Avery immediately took some tissues to help wipe away her tears."Auntie, you have to take care of yourself. If Jed and Jennifer co

"Jed must have crossed someone," Mr. Hutchinson said confidently. "The fact that you and your bodyguard are fine is enough proof that something is wrong. That's precisely the reason why we didn't blame you for his death."Avery was inspired by their theory and said, "Apart from me and my bodyguard, he had only been in contact with people in the hospital.""He met with Ruby as well," Elliot added."Are you saying that Ruby Gould has something to do with this?" Avery scowled."I'm not sure. I only know that Ruby had contacted him before.""What for?" Avery asked. "What happened between them?""She invited Jed to the house, and I found out about it. She called him over then to get him to take you away."Based on Elliot's explanation, Ruby did not seem to have any motive to kill Jed. Even if Ruby had told Jed to take Avery away and Jed had refused to do so, it wasn't enough of a motive for her to kill him."There is someone who might know why," Elliot suddenly said. "Avery, do you

There were far too many documents for her to finish reading in Hutchinson's house, so she packed them up and brought them home."Avery, Ben is asking us out for dinner," said Elliot coming back from his phone call. "I will reject him if you are too tired.""Is Lilith coming?" Avery was feeling slightly tired but she was willing to go out if she could see Lilith.Elliot immediately asked Ben through the phone, "Is Lilith coming?""She's not done with work yet! She usually comes home at around nine or ten at night. Are you two not coming out to eat if she isn't there?" Ben asked. "You can still come if Avery doesn't want to! We haven't seen each other for so long, do you not miss me?"Elliot felt goosebumps all over his body. "Just come over to where we stay and I'll consider treating you to dinner somewhere nearby.""Do you know it's an hour's drive from where I stay?!" Ben exclaimed. "I am injured!""Hasn't that small wound on your face recovered? I thought you said that it's no
When His Eyes Opened Chapter 1545
"Yeah. We came here to take care of something.""Okay. I'll wait for your call once you are done.""Sure. Go get some rest. I don't think you will need to wait up for Ben. Your brother asked for my permission to drink so I'm guessing Ben is asking him out for a drink."Lilith could not help but chuckle. "My brother acts that lowly before you?""Not lowly. Respectful. I will get angry if he comes home stinking of booze without telling me ahead of time.""Avery, you are really successful in training my brother.""I would tell him, too, if I'm heading out this late."Avery had just come out of the shower and only sobered for a few minutes, before feeling sleepy again as she sat down on the bed. After hanging up, she laid down to sleep without even bothering to turn off the lights.In the restaurant, Elliot took Ben's face mask off. The bruises on Ben's face were still visible and he looked slightly defeated."Can you even drink like this?" Elliot asked."It doesn't hurt anymore

Elliot took his phone back. "I haven't told Avery this yet. I figure I can wait for a while.""Wait for what, exactly?" Ben was already slightly drunk, but he had completely sobered up."For the baby to grow and see if her looks would change," Elliot said. "Why would my child with Ruby look like Layla?""Yeah! I am confused about that as well! Anyone who has eyes would be able to tell how much Layla resembles Avery. Your daughter with Ruby Gould might look like you, or like Ruby, but she couldn't possibly look like Avery!" Ben could not help but slam his palm against the table."Don't tell Avery about this, or anyone else for that matter," Elliot reminded him. "I promised Avery that I would never go to Ylore or contact Ruby again. If I am to keep that promise, I shouldn't even mention Ruby or that child."The more he drank the more awake Elliot felt. Every time he thought of how much that child resembled Layla, his heart felt heavy."Relax, I will keep my mouth shut." Ben set 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
