It was a call from Lilith.Avery immediately picked it up.Lilith's excited voice rang out. "Avery, I got second in the preliminary round! I got second!"Avery's heart was beating with excitement. "You're amazing! I knew you could do it!""Woo! I'm so happy! My initial target was just to be in the top ten to be able to enter the semifinals. I thought that if I got that I'll be happy enough! I never expected to come in second for the preliminary round! My marks were only slightly lower than the first place!""Lilith, you're amazing! If Elliot hears about this, he would surely be happy for you.""I also hope that he will be impressed with me! I will work hard for the remainder of the competition!" At that, Ben's voice suddenly came through. "Are you talking with Avery?""Who else? Why are you asking the obvious?""Go back and talk! I've already booked the flight tickets back to Aryadelle. Let's go home!" Ben said.The fireworks lit up the night skies with bright colors.Avery

Avery shook her head. "He said that he went to see a friend. He will return home once he is done.""Why didn't he take you along?" Adrian asked in confusion."Maybe his friend only wants to see him, but not me," Avery replied casually. "Are you hungry? I'm a little hungry. If you're hungry, then I'll go make something to eat.""What are you planning to cook?" Adrian was a little hungry, so he got up.They headed to the kitchen.They made too much ravioli that morning so there was excess."Let's cook ravioli!" Avery took them out from the fridge."Okay! I like ravioli.""Is there anything that you don't like to eat?" Avery asked with a smile.Avery would naturally relax when chatting with Adrian."I don't like bitter squash." Adrian grimaced. "Bitter squash is really bitter, but Mrs. Scarlet likes them.""I don't like them either, but bitter squash is good stuff," Avery said. "But if you really don't like them, you don't have to eat them.""Hmm. Can I try cooking? I want to

Six celebrities were singing, and behind them were countless dancers, dancing to the song.It was a lively event. The song was uplifting too.Avery and Elliot sat on the sofa. They looked at the TV in unison."Ben called me," Elliot said. "He said that Lilith got second in the preliminary round.""I know. Lilith called me.""They're returning to Aryadelle tomorrow.""Hmm." This topic made Avery forget to ask Elliot who he had gone out to see a moment ago. "Will Lilith be continuing to stay in the hotel? That's not good, right?""Are you thinking of asking her to stay in my place?" Elliot asked. "She can stay at mine too! It's New Year's! Everyone is with family, yet we ask Lilith to stay at a hotel. That's too cold.""I'll listen to you. She'll stay wherever you place her," Elliot said. He looked at her clear eyes. He hesitated for a while before saying, "Just now, I was—""Avery, come see if the ravioli is cooked or not!" Adrian called out to Avery in the kitchen.She imme

The other person immediately replied, [780,000 dollars. I'm sure this is not a huge amount for you, right? As long as you wire the money tonight, I'll make sure to destroy all of the photos.]Avery saw the amount and found it amusing. Was Elliot and Ruby's photo worth that much money? She wanted to grit her teeth and yell at the other person, "Just publish them! Do it now! Even if you take photos of them sleeping together, I won't be afraid, let alone them meeting each other!"If Elliot was not afraid of it, what was she afraid about? She only found it despicable. She was afraid her children would feel so too.As a person ages, they become more stable and mature. They could bear the pain that they might not be able to bear in the past, or perhaps, they might even grow numb to the pain.Avery copied the bank account number the other party sent over, then she tapped into her banking app and wired 780,000 dollars over.When the other party received the money, they sent a message, [

This was not the life that Avery wanted. If Elliot and she were at the stage where they had to pretend to keep their relationship together, she would rather not have this relationship.If she had brought her children up alone, she would not have had such troubles. She did not want pity from anybody. She did not want to be locked up by the chains of a relationship.The more she thought, the clearer her mind was, and the more she could not sleep.After a long time, she seemed to have fallen asleep and even had a dream. Even in her dream, she knew that she was dreaming.She did not sleep well. Her dream started for only a short while before it morphed into another dream.She dreamt for a few hours. Then, she was completely awake. She picked her phone up to look at the time. It was almost five in the morning.She let out a sigh of relief. In a short while, he would soon be up.At seven-thirty in the morning, the quietness of the mansion was broken. Layla and Hayden had gotten up. Th

Avery left at six in the morning?It was winter. At six, dawn had not arrived.Elliot picked up his phone and walked to the door. He looked outside and called Avery.Soon, she picked up."Where are you? Why did you leave so early in the morning?" His constricted heart relaxed a little."I'm visiting my mother's grave." Avery's tone was calm. "Why don't you look after the children at home today!""Why don't you want me to go with you?" Elliot preferred to follow her to the grave."Mike is with me. Why don't you stay at home!"Avery was in deep thought. Elliot could sense that she was not in a good mood and was not willing to talk, so he did not say anything else.After hanging up, Layla walked over to him and asked, "Where did Mommy go? Why did she leave so early in the morning? Did you make her angry?""Your mother went to visit your grandmother's grave," Elliot explained. "She misses your grandmother."Layla responded, "Oh. I miss her too. Although I haven't seen her in a

This was why Elliot was back late the night before. He took the photos back with him but left them in his car. He did not take them out.He walked over to the trunk and took the photos out. He held the photos and went to his study room.He turned on the light and looked at the baby's ultrasound photo carefully. Then, he picked up the family photo he had on his desk.He even took Layla's photo and compared it to the baby's. They looked similar.Elliot placed the photo down and clutched his forehead.His dream of a peaceful and quiet life had been certified as comical.On the other side, Avery had just finished visiting her mother's grave before heading to Mike's.Ever since Avery and Elliot reconciled, Mike had moved out of Starry River Villa. Only when Avery or Elliot was not around, would he return for a short stay."What's going on?" Mike had a head full of unkempt hair. He poured her a cup of water. "I still have some milk, but it's cold. You look a little pale. You should d

Avery was so wrongfully mistreated. Mike had to give Elliot a proper scolding. If not, he would not be relieved of the anger.Also, he had to make sure what Elliot's feelings for Ruby were!If Elliot decided to get all tangled up with Ruby, Mike had to convince Avery to get a divorce!He dialed Elliot and the call was soon picked up."Avery said that she went with you to the cemetery. Where are you all now?" Elliot sounded as calm as usual."She said that she took me to the cemetery?" Mike was stunned."Didn't you go with her?" Elliot was stunned too."Hehe. Elliot, the cemetery is not the main issue. The main issue is that she caught wind of your rendezvous with Ruby last night!"Mike yelled angrily, "What the hell are you planning to do? If you don't want to be with Avery, divorce her already! Don't lead her on and have an affair outside!""She told you about it?" Elliot did not expect that his suspicions would come true. "I did see Ruby last night. I was about to tell Aver

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
