"Yeah. Earlier this morning, Shea even said that she wants to dye her hair white... I think she's probably going to do that if we really get to adopt Rose."

Avery could not help but chuckle. "Let her do whatever she wants! Shea will look good in any color."

"I told her to calm down and consider the matter for a few days," Wesley said. "Dying her hair isn't good for her hair and her scalp after all."

"It's not really that bad as long as she doesn't do it frequently, or maybe you can get her a wig," Avery suggested. "She wore wigs all the time before."

"I can't believe that I didn't think of that. I will talk to Shea once Rose's body check is done."

"Yeah. Layla and Robert fell in love with Rose the moment they saw her last night. They thought that she was Ivy," Avery said with a smile, but the smile soon faded. "I hope that Ivy found someone who's kind to her as well."

"She definitely did. You and Elliot are good people, and the gods would definitely shower Ivy with mercy. Even if

    Avery's heart was moved for a moment, but before she could respond, her bodyguard interfered. "Rose, Aunt Avery doesn't run an orphanage. She only took you here because you are ill and need special care. You can't force her to take care of your best friend as well."Avery glared at the bodyguard and said, "Don't run your mouth. If the church has trouble caring for the kids, of course, I can take care of them."Rose flushed and muttered shyly, "Uncle, I just want Irene to find someone nice as well. I am not asking Aunt Avery to adopt Irene. I know raising a child isn't easy."Rose's mature tone left the bodyguard slightly embarrassed. "Rose, I was just reminding you that we aren't an orphanage, I do not blame you for anything. Don't take it personally!" he explained gingerly and awkwardly."You are definitely going to like Irene if you see her, Uncle," Rose said. "She is smart and cute. She is the cutest kid I've ever seen.""Is she as cute as you?" the bodyguard asked.Rose was o

    "Aunt Avery, will I really get to be all those things?" Rose asked sheepishly."Of course! No matter what you want to become, we can work hard toward it. You can tell your secrets to Aunt Shea or me. We will be your best friends.""Okay!"The next morning, Layla and Robert woke up before seven.The weather was not great and the sky was dark.Layla planned to take a box of hairclips with her to give as gifts to the girls living in the church.She had a few drawers full of hairclips, and a lot of them had not even been unboxed.Robert watched as his sister prepared the gifts and felt the urge to do the same."Layla, what can I get them, then?" Robert did not have hairclips, and all his toys were too big to be carried onto the mountain."You are still young. You don't need to prepare gifts for them!" Layla glanced at Robert and Robert pouted gloomily.Noticing his pout after picking out the hair clips she would take with her, Layla said, "You have a lot of money, don't you? Just

    Elliot could not help but chuckle. "I do really want to go with you, but I will stay put if you tell me to do so. It's cold out there so wear more layers.""Yeah." Avery was touched by his words. "Elliot, I don't really know what to do with myself when you are this obedient. I wanted to cheer you up, but it seems like that's not necessary.""Cheer me up, then," he said."Haha, when I come home." She blushed and quickly finished her breakfast, before wiping her mouth clean with a piece of tissue. "Elliot, it's the weekend so you should relax for a bit. Don't work. If you are bored, you can invite your friends over or something.""Okay. Travel safe.""I know. I checked the weather report today. It's going to be cloudy but with no wind and no rain, so everything should go smoothly," Avery said as she walked toward the living room.Elliot followed them closely to see them off.The three children each held their own backpacks and were all eagerly waiting to leave.Avery put on her d

    "Yeah, I'm ready.""You don't have to be nervous, Wesley. She’s nice and only wants the best for the kids. As long as you promise to take good care of Rose, she won't oppose it.""I get it."Avery took Wesley to the abbess and went to the backyard to find the children.The nuns had taken Rose, Layla, and Robert to the backyard so they could distribute the gifts and envelopes to the children.All the children were in the chapel as it was the weekend, and everyone was excited to have new visitors.The children formed into two lines under the nuns' instruction, and when Avery went to the backyard, she saw the nuns introducing the children to Layla and Robert.One of the nuns told the children that Layla and Robert were friends who lived below the hill, but they did not say anything about their background, which was a relief to Avery."Inside the envelope Robert gives you is the money he had saved up over the years. Remember to say thank you to him once you get it. Of course, the s

    Avery had not expected a child so young to be so thoughtful."Rose, Irene has my number so she is going to call me."Relieved, Rose said, "Why did Grandma leave with Irene?"To Rose, life in the church had been great, and she would have never left if she had not met Avery and Shea."Rose, her grandma decided this and we can't force them to stay," the nun said calmly. "Are you doing alright out of this church?""I'm doing great. Aunt Avery took me to the hospital. Layla and Robert have been nice to me and I even met Aunt Shea... She wants to adopt me. Oh, by the way, Aunt Shea and Aunt Avery are family. I think that they are both nice people, and I want to live with them."The nun looked at Avery with a smile. "Miss Tate, if Rose is saying that she wants to leave with you, it means your paths are meant to cross. Please take care of her.""You didn't have to ask. I will take her back to visit all the time. If the church is in any trouble, feel free to let me know. I'm more than ha

    Even Layla was struggling to stay awake."Mommy, I think I'm going to write about what happened today in my journal." Layla stared at the photo she had taken.Hightide Church usually did not allow the taking of photos, but Layla was not sure whether she could take photos or not, and she had asked a nun to take a photo of her and the other children. The nun smiled and agreed."Sure! Show it to me when you are done.""Okay, Mommy. Look at the photo. I counted, and apart from me and Robert, there are thirty-two children," Layla said with a smile. "What a coincidence. There are thirty-two students in my class as well.""Now that Rose is gone, there should be only thirty-one children.""Irene left as well!""Irene doesn't count because she has a family. It's a shame that we didn't get to meet her. She must be a sweet child, like Rose, for Rose to like her so much," Avery said."Why did Irene's grandma take her away? Why does she have to leave simply because Rose left? Didn't the nun

    Elliot hummed in response and returned the phone to Layla."Did you have fun today?""Not really. Some of the children were abandoned because they are ill and some are healthy, but they were still abandoned. It feels horrible," Layla said gloomily. "Daddy, I didn't even know how lucky I have been.""Layla, there are plenty of unlucky people, but also a lot of lucky people. None of that is your fault," said Elliot, consoling her patiently. "If you go further out to more remote areas, you will find more unfortunate children, and they might not even be able to make ends meet."Layla listened to him and felt even more depressed. "Daddy, how can I help them?""You can make a donation. Your mom and I do that every year. We can't change the fate of everyone, but we can do our best to improve the lives of some.""Okay, Daddy.""Layla, when I travel, I will take you to more places.""Yay! I hope you get better soon!"Avery listened to the two and chuckled. "Honestly, Elliot, you haven'

Don't take this lightly.][You are scaring me!][...][Why so serious? Are you in a bad mood? Should I take you out to have some fun?][Avery is asleep.][Okay! Got it! I will arrange something now!

    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
