"I'll let you step in if there are any issues with them in the future that we can't avoid." Elliot thought about it all night and finally made up his mind.

Being affectionate toward Ruby and her baby would be an injustice to Avery and the three kids.

Avery did not make a fuss out of it because her children did not know about it and he still had time to remedy the situation.

If the situation escalated beyond control, Hayden and Layla would hate him to death.

His greatest fear, however, was not that the child hated him—he feared losing Avery.

Elliot had suffered so much that he lost sleep when all Avery did was give him the cold shoulder for one day. He could not even imagine how he could continue to live in the future if she disappeared from his world.

His answer gave her a heavy sigh of relief.

She would not have gotten angry at him on New Year's Eve if he had done that in the first place, and she would not continue to lose her temper with him if he gave her the same answer a da

    "You're right. But she has her reasons for doing so. Elliot stood out from his peers, showing intelligence and a level of maturity that was far above that of other people, even in kindergarten. He was Madam Rosalie's pride, and Eason was very proud of him too. The atmosphere at home was also much better than before. Do you think he'll be able to accept the truth behind his background? I think not. Madam Rosalie is worried that the peace she strived so hard to get would disappear forever," Mrs. Scarlet explained. "I understand how she feels."Avery understood too.It was cruel to separate Elliot from his child at Ylore, but she did that nonetheless.What right did she have to say that Rosalie was a cold-blooded and ruthless woman?Later that evening, Mrs. Cooper and the three children returned.Hayden and Layla brought Avery a lot of delicious snacks and sweets."Chad brought these special treats from his hometown," Mrs. Cooper said. "He cooked lunch and dinner today, and I must a

    The last thing Avery wanted was to see Ruby, much less watch their child be born into the world and then coming over to search for Elliot.If the child did come looking for them in the future, she might not be able to bring herself to turn the girl away heartlessly.However, she would never let Elliot see the child. That was the extent of her kindness as far as the present scenario was concerned."We're putting a pause on this issue. You'd better do as you said in the future." She put an end to it. "I don't think you'd be as generous as I am now if you were in my shoes, Elliot.""I know that. Avery, thank you." He looked at her gratefully, "I won't let myself be confused again in the future.""Okay. Time to get up. Let's go down together," she planned to keep him company and eat a little more.She had no appetite when she ate alone, but now that she had resolved the conflict with him, she started to feel a little hungry.After he got up, he walked to the bathroom and washed hi

    "Didn't you say you would eat with me?""I'll play with the kids for a while." Avery's heart melted when she looked at her daughter's tearful eyes.Elliot nodded and went to the dining room.After he walked away, Hayden said in a sullen voice, "Why did you lie, Mommy? Elliot was the one who hurt you.""He didn't do it on purpose," Avery explained. "He'll be sad if we tell it to his face.""Let him learn his lesson!" Hayden raised his voice on purpose so Elliot could hear it clearly from the dining room.Layla pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and said in a crying voice, "Daddy is such a careless klutz! You should punch a boo-boo on his head too."Avery sighed. "Your uncle Mike already punched him, and your father now has a boo-boo on his head too."Layla stopped crying immediately. "That's more like it.""You should eat if you're hungry, Mommy!" Hayden said."Sure... Although, how did you know it was your father who did it?" Avery did not remember telling them about her in

    The next morning, Layla got up at seven to bathe and get dressed before going downstairs for breakfast.At half past seven, Eric's car stopped outside the courtyard gate."Why are you here so early, Eric?" Avery just got up and the sun had not completely risen yet."I came over as soon as I finished work." Eric had been busy these days.It was a busy time of the year for those in the entertainment industry.He wanted to bring Layla along, but she preferred to stay at home because Hayden was back in the country."Didn't you get any sleep last night?" Avery felt a little conflicted. "Won't it be noisy when Layla goes to your place today?""Nah, I stay up late all the time, so I'm used to it. I slept yesterday morning too, so I'm not that sleepy right now." Eric handed her a gift. "Where's Hayden?"Layla glanced at Eric, and then glanced guiltily at Avery, "Hayden's not feeling well today.""Why is he unwell? Does he have a cold?" Avery said and immediately walked to the children

    "Hayden, let me take you to the hospital for a checkup!" Avery said.There was medicine for the stomach at home.Elliot had stomach problems, so he always kept stomach medicines at home.If Hayden was expressing his discomfort, it meant that he must be in great pain, so it was best to go to the hospital for an examination so she could be assured.She thought Hayden would refuse, but she did not expect him to agree.The driver had taken Elliot out, so Avery drove Hayden to the hospital.On the way, Hayden explained honestly: "Mom, I pretended to be sick."Avery: "Huh?""I have registered for you. You need to go and see the doctor." Hayden explained, "If you don't want Elliot to know, I can cover up for you."Avery couldn't help laughing, but she didn't expect that her son would pretend to be sick to trick her into going to the hospital."What department did you help me register at?""The neurology department.""Okay, let's go." he warmed her heart, "Hayden, it's not that mot

    Hayden was waiting outside the clinic.The doctors were getting off work soon, and there were fewer and fewer patients.When Avery came out, there was no one around."Mom, do you still need an examination?" Hayden asked. "If you still have an examination, let's go back first and come back in the afternoon.""I'm done." Avery didn't want him running around with her and getting tired."I'll accompany you," Hayden said stubbornly."Okay! Shall we go out to eat? Let's get a big meal." Avery asked."Sure.""Then let's eat outside!"Avery took Hayden to a high-end restaurant in the city center."I wonder how Layla and Robert are doing at your uncle Eric's house." Avery thought of the other two children, "Let's video call them!""Okay."Hayden walked over to Avery and sat down on the sofa.Hayden had grown very tall now; it would be strange if he and Avery sat next to each other to eat together. So he sat opposite Avery.Avery dialed Eric, and she was quickly connected."Avery,

    Avery pondered for a few seconds and decided to tell her son frankly, "Hayden, mother's situation is more complicated. Before your father accidentally hurt me, something was already wrong with me.""Since something was wrong with you, why didn't you go to the doctor?""Mom was planning to go for the checkup after the New Year; otherwise, if the doctor said that I had to be hospitalized, I would have to stay in the hospital for the New Year. I'm okay with that, but you're probably not." Avery expressed her difficulties, "And the New Year was only seven days away." Hayden lowered his head gloomily. His mother said the word 'hospitalize', and it seemed to him that her illness was rather severe.After the waiter had served the dishes, Avery filled Hayden's plate with food."Hayden, I want to discuss something with you.""Mother, you don't need to discuss it with me." Hayden took the chopsticks and said dully, "I will do whatever you want me to do.""Hayden, mom will be fine. Mother

    Hanging up the phone, Avery laughed, "Your father is jealous. He was going to have dinner, but he heard that Layla was having a good time with uncle Eric's cousin, so he took Layla home immediately."Hayden: "Mom, I don't think he cares about you at all.""Hayden, why do you say that?""He didn't even take you to the hospital for an examination." Hayden questioned, "You are so seriously injured. Is he blind?"Avery knew that her son felt terrible for her, but she didn't want him to view Elliot as a bad person."Your father wanted to take me to the hospital, but I insisted on not going there. I said I was the doctor and knew more than he did, so he gave up."Driving home, he saw Ben sitting in the living room making tea and drinking it."Ben, when did you come?" Avery put the car keys in the drawer and asked.Ben: "It's only been a while. I'm here to pick you up to come to my house tomorrow.""Did you tell Lilith?" She sat down on the sofa."She hasn't woken up yet," Ben asked

    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
