When Elliot arrived at the school, he immediately held Shea in his arms and patted her back lightly upon seeing Shea's swollen eyes.

"Stop crying, Shea," Elliot comforted.

Shea was having a headache because she had been crying too hard. After hearing Elliot's voice, she felt safer and leaned on Elliot's chest while her emotions began to stabilize. After a while, she fell asleep.

Elliot carried and placed her on the bed. After that, he walked out of the room. He needed to go look for Hayden to find out what happened. Later, he arrived at Hayden's classroom.

The teachers saw Elliot coming and left the classroom. As such, only Elliot and Hayden were in the classroom.

Elliot walked over and stood in front of Hayden. Hayden saw him coming and started to pack his books into his backpack.

"Hayden Tate, I already know who your mother is," Elliot pulled a chair over and sat in front of Hayden to block him from leaving.

Seeing how domineering Elliot was, Hayden knew that he did not have t

    Hayden did not stop biting until he tasted blood in his mouth.…It was four o'clock in the evening. The school had called Avery telling her that Hayden had bitten someone and requested her to go to the school.Avery did not understand. Hayden was the only student in his class. Since he did not have any classmates, who could he bite? Was it the teacher who got bitten? With the possibility in her mind, Avery quickly shut down her computer and took her keys with her.'How could Hayden bite his teacher? Even if he had an argument with his teacher, he should not resort to violence.' Avery kept on thinking.She remembered Hayden was a well-mannered boy. When did he change?Avery had been working very late and she had recently somewhat neglected her two children. She decided to have a good talk with the both of them tonight.After Avery reached the school, Avery's teacher said apologetically, "Miss Tate, your child has been taken away."Avery was shocked."But don't worry, Hayden wa

    "Don't touch me!" Hayden yelled out.He quickly wore his cap back on his head.Mrs. Cooper got shocked when Hayden yelled at her.Elliot and Shea stared at Hayden while Shea was frightened because Hayden yelled out. Whereas Elliot was stunned because it was the first time he saw Hayden's full face. He even saw similarities between his and Hayden's face."Then can you wipe it yourself?" Mrs. Cooper asked after twisting the towel and handing it to Hayden, "You have sweat on your face. It'll be more comfortable after wiping it."Hayden took the towel and threw it back into the bucket.Since Hayden was very temperamental, Mrs. Cooper took the bucket and left."If you don't tell me how you know Shea and why did you both argue, don't even think about going home tonight," Elliot returned to his senses and threatened Hayden.Hayden turned a deaf ear and walked towards the door.Two bodyguards appeared outside of the door and stopped Hayden from going any further. Hayden raised his hea

    It was only five in the evening. He did not expect mom to be here so soon! Although his mom had always told outsiders that he was adopted, he knew his mom loved him greatly. "Hayden!" Avery saw her son sitting on the sill with two muscular men beside him. Tears welled up in her eyes. Hearing Avery's voice, Elliot stood up from the sofa and walked toward the door. The bodyguards dared not stop Avery. They had witnessed how much Elliot had loved this woman. Although she was now his ex-wife, she was different from all the other women that Elliot was acquainted with. Elliot saw Avery carrying Hayden as her eyes reddened, she looked as if her son was being mistreated. "Avery, let's talk." Avery was fuming, "What gives you the right to bring Hayden to your house!? Did you have my permission? What you did was against the law!" Elliot's brows furrowed, "I did not hurt him! I only wanted to know when did he meet Shea? Why did they fall out?" Avery refuted, "Can't you ask

    When Avery heard him, she frowned. "What do you mean by that dude? He has a name." Avery corrected him, "Can you show some respect?" Elliot said, "Respect? You're speaking of respect? You were together with that dude before our divorce, did you show me any respect?" "Please be clear. I filed for divorce four years ago. You were unwilling to sign then!" "As long as I haven't signed, we're still legally married. How could you cheat on me!?" Elliot interrogated her. Avery saw how serious he looked, she was almost convinced by him that she had cheated on him! "Since when have I admitted that I was with him before our divorce?" Avery refuted, "It's all your speculation! If you want to suspect yourself of being cheated on, don't blame me!" Elliot took a deep breath to calm himself down, "Then, what's his name?" "Why would you want to know his name?" Avery asked cautiously. "Didn't you ask me to show some respect? How am I supposed to respect him if you don't tell me his nam

    She thought about the reason why Hayden got angry. Could it be that she asked him to bring her out of school, and he was scolded for that? Other than this, she could not think of anything else. When Hayden heard her apologizing, he grew increasingly furious! Was she admitting to her inappropriate relationship with Elliot? She was the reason why his Mom and Dad had a divorce?! "Stop following me!" Hayden yelled at her, "I hate you!" Shea stopped and her eyes teared up. When Mrs. Cooper saw this, she instantly helped Shea to sit on the sofa, "Shea, don't cry. If he doesn't want to be your friend, stop following him." Since Hayden was so ill-tempered, Shea would hurt herself doing so. However, Shea did not want to lose a good friend like Hayden. She shook her head vigorously. Mrs. Cooper held on to her head and did not want her to keep shaking her head, "Stop shaking your head, you might hurt your head. Sit here, I will go and ask Hayden what it takes for him to befrie

    ”You must be Avery." Zoe went forward to greet her, "Nice to meet you, I'm Zoe." Avery glanced at her and said without enthusiasm, "Yeah, I'm leaving now." Avery and Hayden left. Zoe watched as she left and zoned out for a moment. Avery was younger and more beautiful than she imagined. Why did she look for Elliot today? She even brought a boy here…was that Elliot's son? So, she came here with the boy, trying to get back with Elliot? Thinking of this, Zoe felt disgusted. Would Elliot get back with Avery because of this? "Elliot, sorry to show up unannounced." Zoe pointed at the cake on the table, "My friend bought this cake for me but I can't finish it on my own so I brought this over." Elliot glanced at the cake, "Happy birthday, did you receive your gift?" Zoe halted, "Someone did send me a parcel in the afternoon. I didn't know it was you who sent it, so I haven't opened it." Elliot nodded, "I don't eat cake, and neither does Shea. You can eat with Mrs. Cooper

    "Layla looks like you," Hayden said. "Hayden, he's indeed the father of the both of you. However, he doesn't like kids so it's best if the both of you don't go to him. If he finds out that you're both his kids, I don't know what he'd do," Avery said. Hayden replied, "We don't want a father like him!" "Hayden, I think you've changed and improved a lot since you've arrived at Aryadelle," Avery said. "Mom, I'm not ill, I just find those people childish and boring," Hayden said.Avery nodded, "I know. You like smart people like Uncle Mile. However, when you're older, you'll realize that the people who're not as smart are equally special. We must learn to focus on the merits of others, such as kindness and innocence." Hayden did not agree with that, but he did not refute her. Perhaps when he was older, he would understand what she meant. … Zoe arrived home at seven in the evening. She opened the gift she received in the afternoon. She was disappointed in Elliot because

    Avery almost spat the green tea from her mouth. She took a tissue to dab on her lips. "Miss Sanford, I was the one asking for a divorce with Elliot. As for you taking Elliot from me, what I hate is that you're not married yet! Look at how alike you two are! He's handsome and you're beautiful, you're made for one another! When are you two getting married? I will send a grand gift!" Zoe had an awkward smile on her face, "Now I know this is what you're thinking. However, I'm sorry to disappoint you, as we don't plan to get married yet." "Why not? Do you not want to? Or does he not want to? If he doesn't want to, why don't I help you talk to him?" Avery took another sip of green tea. Zoe said, "You don't have to. We will let things happen at their course. Right, Miss Tate, you called me shameless earlier, I don't understand why. This is only our first meeting, so why did you insult me?" Avery sensed how fake this woman was. Zoe looked pitiable and wronged, one would easily symp

    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
