Lilith blushed. "I thought they weren't back yet?"

"They will be back the day after tomorrow. I'm just informing you ahead of time so that you won't schedule work on that day."

"Oh..." Lilith took her phone out to inform her manager, only to find numerous messages from Howie.

[You are Elliot Foster's sister?! You sure hid it well! So you are just modeling for fun?}

[Lilith, I didn't say anything mean to you before, right? If I did, I didn't mean to. I just expected a lot from you because I see greatness in you.]

[Coco called me in tears, saying that she wants to apologize to you. Call me when you see this… Or just message me… Or just reply tomorrow.]

Lilith's finger slid across the screen as she typed her reply.

[I have something to do the day after tomorrow and I need a day off.]

Howie replied right away.

[Sure! Do you need a day off tomorrow as well? If not, come over to the office tomorrow. Let's talk.]

[Alright.]

Elliot had been sleeping the entire day and woke up at daw

    Chad agreed with Elliot's idea, but judging from the look on his face, Chad could not help but feel like Elliot would mess it up. Elliot looked as though he was about to go and beat Avery or Billy up and whichever he ended up doing would still enrage Avery."Mr. Foster, eat something." Chad scooped a spoonful of food and placed it on his plate. "Why didn't you call Ben along?"Elliot knew that Chad did not have a high tolerance for alcohol, and his head was already beginning to spin after drinking merely one glass."He is with Lilith.""Oh... How are things moving along between them?" Chad asked. "The last time I talked to him, he was still saying how he had been rendered completely helpless!""Lilith has given up her job in Bridgedale and has come back to Aryadelle to further her career, so I don't think their relationship would change.""I guess! Lilith has always been quite clear with what she wants. I'm happy for Ben." Chad noticed the dark look on Elliot's face and his smile

    "Oh... Is he going to visit Uncle Mike during his holidays?" Layla beamed because she had been planning on taking Robert to Bridgedale to visit Hayden. If Chad was traveling to Bridgedale, they could all travel together."I didn't ask him." Elliot got up and took her hand. "Did you have fun at the water park?""Robert had more fun. I think it's a bit childish." Layla was wrapped in a towel, and her hair still dripping wet. "Daddy, I will go shower now. Go check on Uncle Chad!""Sure!" Elliot watched as Layla walked back into her room, before approaching Robert, who was soaking wet.Robert looked up at Elliot with his doe-like eyes and pouted. "Daddy stinks."It was the first time Elliot had drank so much at home since Robert was born."You can sleep with Mrs. Cooper tonight, then. Go shower!" Elliot said and Mrs. Cooper carried Robert into the bathroom.Elliot returned to the dining room to find Chad rubbing his face."Have you sobered up?" Elliot teased. "Your alcohol toleranc

    "I thought you said you would prioritize work and wouldn't consider marriage for now? Why did you change your mind?" Elliot asked after taking a sip of water."We are just having a meal together. Don't read too much into it," Lilith said."Both families are meeting now, so you are not that far away from getting married," Elliot said calmly. "You should really think about whether you want to marry Ben or not. There's still time to reconsider.""Can't I change my mind after this meal?" Lilith asked."You can change your mind at any point, or even get a divorce from him after marrying him. It's just that I have a unique friendship with Ben, and I want you to act carefully." Elliot tightened his grip around the glass. "Ben isn't young anymore and he truly wants to settle down...""And how would you know that he wouldn’t cheat after we get married?" Lilith retorted. "You think that he is a good man just because you are close to him.""It's precisely because I'm close to him that I kno

    It had become clear that Helen had only wanted Lilith to give birth to a child for the Schaffer family.Elliot's expression darkened and Ben immediately shot a look at his mother."Of course, that is if the worst scenario happens. Naturally, I want Lilith and Ben to cherish one another and grow old together. Ben, if Lilith agrees to marry you, you have to treat her well. If you dare to mistreat her, your father and I will beat some sense into you even if Elliot doesn't say anything!""I know," Ben said before looking over at Lilith. "Lilith, I know that you are way out of my league, but I promise to care for you with all I have once we get married. The reason that I've called Elliot along today is that I want him to stand witness to my promise as well. If I mistreat you or upset you in the future, you can punish me however you want."Lilith blushed.Despite his age, Ben was not shy to make romantic promises, and Lilith's heart leaped in joy over his words. The frustration she felt

    Avery could not help but chuckle.[You would have still accepted Ben's proposal even if Elliot hadn't said a word to you!][Probably not this soon though. I enjoy being pursued. What happens if he puts less effort into our relationship once I agree to marry him?][Hahaha...][The way you laugh is really unsettling, Avery.][Life wouldn't always be thrilling. Peace and stability are the best things that you can ask for. Just think about how other married couples fight. Isn't that more terrifying?][True. I just want to continue working even after I marry him. Otherwise, I would lose my mind from staying at home every single day and start picking fights with him.][Just enjoy the moment and don't overthink it.][Yeah!]...Elliot was on his way to Avery's house when he received a call from Natalie. He put on his bluetooth earphones and answered the call."Elliot, I heard that Avery is dating the owner of Dream Maker, is that true?" Natalie asked."Why are you asking?"Natali

    "I don't care about what kind of man Avery dates, but I'm worried about you," Natalie said. "Since I mentioned Billy to you before, I worried that this might make you feel miserable. If I had not said anything, I wouldn't have to worry." "You only mentioned that he was horrendous-looking and short, right?" Elliot said casually. "I wouldn't be in misery over something like that.""That's not the worst part. Billy is a psychopath." Natalie's features twisted in pain. "People who are talented but disabled like him tend to be sick in the mind. He has all these horrible pets like snakes, lizards, mice, and spiders... Just thinking back to it gives me chills... He told me that if I want to be with him, I will need to accept his pets."Elliot fell dead silent when he heard that."Maybe it's because Avery is a doctor, so she probably won't be scared of those animals... But I don't think that's the end of his insanity," Natalie continued, "I don't understand Avery's tastes. Why would she d

    Rage burned within her at his rejection. She should not have brought him an umbrella and should have left him to walk through the rain without it. She should not have opened the door for him. Had he returned without seeing her, she would not be this enraged.Avery finally realized why Layla had decided not to tell Elliot before they arrived in Bridgedale. It was because Layla knew exactly what Elliot was like. However, it was too late for Avery to regret it since she had already let him in.Regardless, she was not going to simply tolerate him."I only informed you because I didn't want to fight. I am taking the kids to Bridgedale even if you say no!" Avery retorted. "This was Layla's plan. So if you still want to maintain a good relationship with your daughter, you better leave us alone."Elliot studied her flushed cheeks and ignored her as he entered the living room. "There's no point in running away from this conversation." Avery followed him. "I have the right to see them and

    "Do you need to speak to your boyfriend before going to Ylore with me?" he asked."This is my decision. Why do I have to ask for someone else's opinion? He is still just my boyfriend right now, and even if he becomes my husband in the future, he has no right to interfere with my affairs."Elliot gritted his teeth.Avery's response had revealed two things: her relationship with Billy was real, and Billy had no control over her, which meant she was not unequal to him."If that's the case, go ahead and pack! If you are not telling your boyfriend, you should at least tell Layla," he said."I know what I need to do; mind your own business!" Avery glanced outside at the rainstorm. "The rain is getting heavier. Will tonight's flight be canceled?"Elliot unlocked his phone to check the weather report. "The rain will stop at seven tonight.""Oh... Are you going now? You can take the umbrella next to the door." Avery intended on heading back to her room to pack, and she no longer wanted t

    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
