"Layla, I'll change. I won't eat alone with Aunt Natalie anymore. I won't let her come over to our house, too." Elliot promised Layla. "In the future, if she asks for my help, I won't help her.""That's more like it!" Layla liked Elliot a little bit more."Avery, I also hope that in the future, if there is anything, you will tell me about it first," said Elliot after he was satisfied with his progress with Layla. So, he turned his attention to Avery, who was on her phone. "For example, a week ago, you knew that I was the one who had helped Natalie buy the set of jewelry that you wanted. You could have told me about it first. No matter how you yell at me, as long as you tell me what happened, I will thank you."Avery never thought that he would suddenly talk to her. He even had a look that demanded justice. "You were helping Natalie to buy something, why should I contact you?" She asked in return."If you don't tell me, how would I know that I have helped someone take away somethi

Avery thought that Elliot was leaving. Instead, he walked to where she was sitting and took a seat next to her. She barely gave it a thought and moved aside a little."What are you doing?" Looking at the familiar face so close to her, she could not read his mind."Why did you say that my apology to Layla was not sincere?" His tone was lower than before. "This is when I'm around. When I'm not around, what do you tell Layla about me?""I tell her whatever you suspect I tell her. You really are confident if you think I tell the children only good things about you." Avery smiled. "If you want me to praise you, sure. Hand over the custody of the children to me, and I'll praise you all you want."The calmness on his face was no longer there."Avery, you said that no matter what I did, I would find an excuse for myself. Since when have I found excuses for myself? No matter what I do, I do it with a good conscience.""Conscience? You want to talk to me about conscience? You dare say yo

Just then, a blue car stopped outside the yard, and shortly after, the bodyguard entered the living room to inform Elliot about it. "Mr. Foster, Ms. Jennings is here. She says she is here to look for Avery."Avery immediately glanced outside the door.She had not officially met Natalie, and it was unexpected that she would look for Avery at Elliot's house.Without a word, Elliot strode outside and Avery followed closely behind, wanting to know why Natalie wanted to speak to her.Natalie held a jewelry box in her hand, and the moment Avery spotted the box, she came to realize why Natalie had come."Elliot, Miss Tate." Natalie watched as the two stepped out of the house together and was filled with envy at how compatible they looked."Natalie, I thought I'd been clear with you on the phone." Elliot scowled. He sounded annoyed. "Don't come to my place again. We have nothing else to talk about apart from work."Elliot's tone was hardly polite, and if those words were directed at Ave

"She wants to sell me the jewelry." Avery set the box onto the coffee table and extended her hand toward Elliot. "Give me the receipt."Elliot glanced at the receipt and saw that the jewelry was worth ten million. It was not a small amount."I will pay her later...""She sold it to me, not you." Avery stepped toward him and snatched the receipt from his hand. "Ten million... It's generous of her to spend so much as a gift for Layla. Does she always spend so much on Layla?"Elliot shook his head. "No. She gave Layla a dress last year, and I saw the price of it. It was just fifty thousand or so!""Fifty thousand?! Do you consider that as cheap? It's a wonder that you are willing to accept such an expensive gift for your children!" Avery glared at him.He pursed his lips, not knowing how to respond. Layla was the one who had accepted the gift, not him, and he only went to check on the price after Layla had accepted the gift."Mommy, I was the one who accepted the birthday present s

"How can you tell? Why haven't I noticed?" Avery did not notice that Elliot was pursuing her. After all, all they had talked about since she had arrived was an important matter that needed to be resolved."He keeps staring at you. Why would he do that if he doesn't like you? He doesn't really stare at Aunt Natalie when she comes to our place," Layla said confidently."Layla, there's more to liking a person than that. I was confronting him just now so, of course, we are staring at each other," Avery said. "I was looking at him, too, does that mean that I like him?""Oh... Mommy, you don't like him anymore?" Confused, Layla asked, "Daddy is still quite handsome, right?"Avery could not help but chuckle. "He's alright! But whether I like him or not has nothing to do with looks. If a couple keeps fighting, they will only grow tired of each other no matter how good-looking they are.""But you two weren't fighting just now.""I don't want to fight with him anymore," Avery said. "All th

"No. Whether or not you've been badmouthing me to Hayden, he is still going to resent me." Elliot knew this by heart. "You couldn't get him to forgive me even before we got divorced. He has his own stance and won't budge under the pressure of the world.""You are wrong. He wasn't born resenting you. He simply deemed you unreliable after watching you break my heart over and over again," she said, correcting him. "You don't have to be sad about it, though, since Robert likes you so much. You should be content with that.""You sure are good at consoling people. Hayden is still my son so how can I not care about him? I gave him a credit card and he accepted it, but when I checked, he hadn't spent a penny."Avery stared at him silently.Avery froze and Elliot asked, "What's wrong?""Why are you giving him money? Did he say that he needed money?" Avery had a feeling that Hayden had been offended."Chad told me that his living expenses are quite high, and I was worried that he wouldn't

Ben had not paid them any mind and snapped around to look at them after what Chad had said. "Did you two make up?""Yes.""No."Both responded at the same time but with different answers.Instantly, the previously cheerful mood was replaced by silent awkwardness, as neither Elliot nor Avery expected the other to respond differently."When did we make up?" she asked."Haven't we talked it out?""We did, but that doesn't mean that we made up.""What exactly does 'making up' mean to you? To me, it means that we are no longer fighting over past events," Elliot said."Oh," she said. "If that's the case, then we have made up."Everyone let out a breath of relief that they had finally reached a consensus."What does 'making up' mean to you?" Elliot asked. "That we are getting back together?"Chills ran down her spine at the words and she felt stressed. "To me, it just means that we are on good terms, and it has nothing to do with us getting back together." She looked directly at h

Avery desperately wanted to hide away, because she knew that Elliot had not taught Robert to say such a thing. Robert kept mentioning how much his sister liked Avery, and it was obvious that he was inviting Avery to stay the night for Layla's sake."Robert, we can invite Mom to come and play during the day, but at night, she will need to go home to sleep." Elliot patted Robert on the head. "Everyone has their own house and needs to go back to their own house to sleep."Robert looked slightly confused, but said, "Kitties need to go back to kitties' house; doggies need to go back to doggies' house; so Mommy needs to go back to Mommy's house."Everyone's jaw dropped at the comment.Avery could not decide if she wanted to chuckle or cry. "Robert, why don't you come to Mommy's place to play next time?""I will go if Layla goes.""You are such a good boy, Robert." Avery was glad that Layla and Robert were getting along so well.After a while, the children who finished their meals and

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
