Avery rushed back home after the phone call.She could not imagine how her son could have brought home a woman!Hayden would usually ignore strangers.He would never bring someone home.So, who exactly was that woman?What had she done to change Hayden?!Avery arrived home. She saw the woman…She instantly lost her breath!"Avery, you're back!" Laura walked to the door. She noticed how pale her daughter was, and the harshness of her breath. Laura quickly grabbed Laura's arm. "What's wrong? Why do you look so ill?"Avery was staring at Shea as if she could see through her soul!The woman with the hime haircut and the pink puffy dress had always been on her mind!She did not expect to see her in real life!Most unexpected was that her son had brought her home!How had that happened?What was her goal?Was she there for Elliot?Avery had a headache.She could not figure out what was happening because she had divorced Elliot!She was no longer associated to Elliot!That

She had thought of all the scenarios, but never once did she imagine that her rival in love would be atypical. Was it the reason why Elliot would not mention it to her?Avery walked to the sofa in despair and sat down. She buried her face in her hands. It was hard to process."Avery, what’s wrong?" Laura sat next to her daughter and asked, "Don’t you know her? Your conversation with her was so weird."Avery said, "Mom, I have a headache right now. Please leave me alone."Laura said, "Alright. I will tidy the guest room."Avery grabbed her arm and said, "Mom, don't. She knew Elliot back then, and their relationship was unusual… I'll drive her somewhere later."Laura looked horrified.Shea also looked horrified.She was frightened when she heard the word 'Elliot'.She began crying again. She shook her head while she wailed.Laura held her hand and comforted her. She asked, "Don't be scared, do you know Elliot?"Shea shook her head vigorously.If she had not shaken her head,

"Why are you hiding here?" Elliot looked at the boy in a flat cap. There was a hint of impatience in his voice.It was the parking lot. If his driver had not seen him, the car might have reversed into this boy. The vice headmaster instantly explained, "Mr. Foster, this boy enrolled in our academy last week. He doesn't talk to strangers."All the students in the academy, irrespective of whether they were adults or children, had some form of mental impairment. Elliot softened as he thought that the boy too was atypical, like Shea.Hayden placed his notebook into his backpack. He carried his backpack with one arm and stood up coolly.He stomped on Elliot's clean leather shoes when he passed him by.Elliot was speechless.That punk had done it on purpose, right? "I'm sorry, Mr. Foster! The boy didn't mean it." The vice headmaster instantly knelt and wiped his shoes with tissue paper.Hayden turned around and glared at him.Elliot looked at him, but he could only see the lower

Shea's smile grew even wider. She did not seem to be pretending. This woman did not seem to be smarter than Layla. Avery’s hatred and prejudice toward Shea gradually dissolved.Yes, Elliot loved this woman, but the more Avery looked at her the more pity she felt for her.After dinner, Hayden walked over to Avery."Mom.""Is there something you'd like to tell me?" said Avery calmly as she looked at her beloved son. Hayden nodded and looked rather pitiful. "I pity her," he said. Pity.The word brought back a wealth of memories of the night she had left Elliot. That night, Avery had felt as if her heart had been smashed into a million pieces. She felt as if she had died that night, and it was all because of this pitiful woman. She wasn't going to tell Hayden any of it."Yes, she is a pitiful woman," replied Avery. "I can't promise you that I'll teat her illness though." Hayden looked up, "Why?""Well, she has to undergo surgery to feel better. And there's a chance she m

"Avery Tate! Are you trying to show me how successful you are now?" Elliot's voice was glacial. Avery was dumbfounded. What did he mean by 'show him how successful I am'? Then it hit her. Elliot was talking about the change in Tate Tower's price."How about the fact that you are trying to sell it to me for a mere forty million dollars?" Avery countered. "Please, I don't need your sympathy!" Elliot frowned. He realized then that their relationship had hit rock bottom. Elliot had bought the building with the intention of giving it to Avery as a gift—back when he thought they could stay together forever.He had never thought of making money with Tate Tower. The reason why he was selling it to her for forty million dollars was because there was no reason for him to give it to Avery as a gift. Moreover, she would not accept it even if he did so."Fine, we will honor the market price of the tower then!" Elliot said with anger, "You don't need my sympathy, and I don't need you

"That's right! How silly of me. That's the best decision you've ever made, divorcing that man!" Tammy let out a sigh of relief. "How's your schedule like tomorrow? I'll buy you dinner. We're celebrating you being single at long last!" "My schedule is packed. I own the Tate Tower now," said Avery."Yes, yes, I heard all about it from Jun. It cost you ninety million dollars, my loaded friend.""Eighty million dollars," said Avery, unfazed. "He returned the extra ten million dollars to me this evening.""Pfft! What is this between you two? Playing around like children," Tammy scoffed."I'm setting some clear boundaries between us," said Avery. "Well, I agree. It's a wonderful thing you're doing. This man is vicious. I told Jun to stay away from him!" Tammy sounded resentful."It's getting late. Have a good night's rest, I can barely keep my eyes open." Avery was really exhausted at this point. Her eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds.Elliot had proved his love and c

Layla jumped off her bed and yelled for her Mommy.Avery rushed into her daughter's room with a medical kit in hand. Her hair was a mess. "Go to your brother's room, Layla," instructed Avery. She felt Shea and realized that the fever was bad. Layla nodded. Her eyes were filled with worry, "Mommy, did Shea catch a cold? Do I turn off the aircond?"Avery answered, "There are many ways to catch a fever. I don't think she caught a cold." The temperature in the room was fine, so there was no way she could have gotten sick that way. Avery sent Layla to Hayden's room before she went right back to Shea.The thermometer read at one hundred and three degrees. She must bring down Shea's fever immediately. Avery began running a saline drip, and she also brought a large bowl of warm water from the washroom in an attempt to bring down Shea's temperature. It was three o'clock in the morning, and Avery was tending to her rival. After everything was done, Avery sat by the bed, and she co

Layla and Hayden found Shea in a state of unrest. She was mumbling in a low voice, "Brother… Brother…"The siblings frowned and hurried to her bedside. Shea's face was red, and her skin felt really warm. "She's got a fever again! I am going to get Mommy!" Layla said as she dashed for Avery.Hayden held Shea's hands still and tried to comfort her, "Shea! Don't worry!"Shea opened her eyes slightly when she heard Hayden's voice. She thought that her brother, Elliot, had come to her at last!Shea felt as if she was dying of heat. "Brother… hug me…" Shea cried. Hayden felt helpless. He could not hug her as he was too small when compared to Shea. Hayden waited for his Mommy to tend to Shea. "Brother, do you not want Shea anymore? Why don't you hug me?" Shea cried hysterically. Streams of tears flowed from her eyes. Hayden looked just like Elliot as a child. It was no wonder Shea had mistaken him for Elliot.Avery rushed over to Shea as soon as she heard the news."Your tempe

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
