"Just wear this outside. If you're going to the office, you can take off your down jacket." Avery forcefully put the down jacket on Elliot before taking a pair of leather gloves out from the pocket.

Elliot was in a daze looking at it. He had forgotten that he even had such a thing.

"I found it in the closet. You must have bought it some time ago," Avery said before making him put on the leather gloves.

Right when Avery was helping him with his jacket and gloves, Mrs. Cooper took a pair of leather boots over.

No one knew when Elliot had bought that pair of leather boots. However, one thing for sure was that Elliot has never worn them before because the boots did not have any signs of it being used.

"Put them on." Avery accepted the boots from Mrs. Cooper and placed them beside Elliot's feet.

"Now, all I need is a cap. I could even go somewhere where it's negative twenty degrees, let alone negative ten," grinned Elliot as he bent down to change his shoes.

    "Juliet, can you hear me?" Hearing her not speak, Isaac said louder, "Don't be afraid! Since I called you, it's surely because I don't want to harm you."Only when she heard Isaac's normal voice did she come to her senses. She furrowed her brows and said coldly, "Isaac, don't pretend to be mysterious. It's pointless.""I'm not trying to be mysterious. We'll meet tonight, and you'll find out what I need to tell you. Let's meet at the place we ate last night. My treat. How about that?" Isaac said. "Don't worry, I won't dare cause any trouble in public. By then, if you want to leave, you can leave anytime.""Let's see if I'm busy or not tonight!" Juliet did not want to talk to him, so she hung up.After she hung up, Isaac sent another message, [Tonight at seven. I'll be waiting for you.]Juliet placed her phone down. She had completely lost her appetite. She wondered about what Isaac had meant when he told her that someone was looking for her. Who was looking for her? Had she bee

    The others who came to the rehearsal were Tammy, Tiffany, Shea, Rose, and Kiara.The children were on their winter break. They could play together every day.Lilith had arranged tasks for the children. They would be the flower children on her wedding day.The staff present instructed the children on what they should do, teaching them how to walk behind Lilith.Avery, Tammy, and Shea sat in the seats by the side, looking at their children and smiling emotionally."Lilith's gorgeous figure truly makes one envy," Tammy sighed when she saw Lilith in a gown walking past her. "Ben is truly lucky. If I was a man, I would want to marry a beauty like Lilith too.""Tammy, you're beautiful too! You're so beautiful, Jun is very lucky too!" said Shea sincerely."Shea, you sure know how to praise someone. Wesley must have rescued the entire milky way galaxy in his past life to be able to marry you." Tammy leaned on Shea's shoulder, looking up at Shea cheekily.Avery was just about to interru

    "Honey, are you going to scold her? Don't yell at her. I'm not complaining about her. She must be sick of seeing me every day." Elliot defended Layla."What are you thinking? She's already so big, how could I scold her for such a small matter?" Avery could not help but smile. "Hand the phone to her!"Elliot was still worried. He asked, "What are you planning to say to her?""I'm just going to ask her to care more for her Daddy. Why can't I say that?" Avery asked."Sure, of course, you can. You still care for me the most." Elliot happily walked over to Layla.After passing the phone to Layla, Elliot stood next to her, trying to catch snatches of their conversation. "Layla, are you having fun today?" Avery gently asked.Layla smiled widely. Her tone was excited. "I'm happy! Mommy! I'm so happy today! It's so pretty! They just shot Uncle Eric skiing after the drone. Woo, woo. He looks so cool! Uncle Eric looks so handsome skiing!"Layla took the phone and jumped up and down in th

    Tammy said, "Yes, I've had it before! But it was a long time ago. I can't really remember what it tastes like anymore."Lilith said, "Ben bought a lot of chickens. Go get some from our place later.""Your husband bought them for you. Why should I take them?" Tammy smiled."It's fine, Tammy. Take it. I'll get more once it finishes," Ben said distractedly. "Chicken soup helps with beauty and nourishes the skin."Tammy said, "But my skin is great! Ever since I changed my bad habit of staying up late at night, my skin got better.""Then, give it to Jun!" Ben felt that there were too many chickens at home, too. With Lilith's appetite, he wondered how long it would take her to finish them all."Can't you just buy less?" Tammy decided to help them."Isn't the chicken soup for menstruation? Would it be bad for Jun?" Lilith asked."What? Chicken soup helps with menstruation?" Tammy was a little surprised."If not, why would Ben buy so many chickens for me? I don't like taking medicatio

    "Tiffany, when you look for a boyfriend in the future, you have to find one that listens to you," said Tammy, sharing her thoughts with Tiffany.Avery said, "Tammy, Tiffany is still young. Why are you talking to her about this?""You're right! Tiffany is still a little too young. Other than playing and eating, she doesn't think about anything else." Tammy ruffled Tiffany's head. Seeing how Tiffany's mouth was covered in food scraps, she gave Tiffany a tissue paper to wipe her mouth."Children at this age are all like this. You should be grateful that Tiffany is such a good girl. You haven't met naughty children. Those will give you a headache," said Avery, consoling Tammy."Is Robert naughty?" Tammy saw that Avery felt deeply about the matter, and she said, "But Robert is a good boy too!""I'm not talking about Robert. When we are out in public, we often see naughty children, right?""Oh, you meant those wild children! If my child goes while, I'll break their legs," Tammy said wi

    Isaac immediately handed the menu to her. "Let's order first! You should be hungry at this hour.""Let's get straight to business instead!" Juliet pushed the menu away. "You said someone is looking for me. Who's looking for me?"Isaac took the menu, carelessly ordered a few signature dishes, and handed the menu to the waiter. After the waiter left, Isaac picked up the jug of water and calmly poured a glass of water for Juliet."Juliet, I can't tell you who it is for the time being. However, I can tell you how you were exposed." Isaac had long formulated a plan, so was calm and unhurried when he spoke.Juliet did not say anything. She calmly gazed into his eyes. Exposed?She was not aware of what had exposed her. "The scar on your wrist is not very common." Isaac pointed out the problem. "I don't understand what you have done, but I can tell you that the person who's looking for you is no ordinary person."After Juliet heard what he said, she immediately pulled her left hand

    "I can fulfill your request, but I won't marry you." After Juliet thought about it for a moment, she said, "I'm not targeting you. I'm a person who doesn't want to get married. If you don't believe me, you can ask my boss.""Why are you not willing to get married?" Isaac asked as he was curious."Some people yearn to get married, but some just don't like the idea of marriage. There's no particular reason. I just don't like being tied to another person," Juliet said nonchalantly. "Besides, even if I did want to marry you, my parents would never allow me to marry someone from Aryadelle." Isaac smiled. "I have no intentions of marrying you. I'm not such an easy man either. I just like how you look. You are very beautiful, and you live up to my beauty standards." "I'm really unlucky," said Juliet, taking a dig at herself.The smile on Isaac's face disappeared. "Am I that bad for you to think so little of me?"Juliet said, "We aren't close, and I told you that I'm a person who does

    "Accompany me back to my hometown for the New Year's then!" said Isaac with a smile. "Don't worry. I won't let you suffer any grievances. Since you're now my girlfriend, I certainly will do my best to treat you well."Juliet blocked out the words that came out of his mouth.The next morning, Avery called Juliet using the company's internal line and told her to come to her office. Juliet quickly entered Avery's office. Avery took out an exquisite little paper bag and handed it to her. "These are the chocolates I got when I attended the wedding rehearsal at the hotel yesterday. You can have them."Juliet accepted them while smiling. "Thank you, Miss Tate. Who gave you the chocolates?" "My husband's younger sister. She is marrying the chief financial officer from Sterling Group," said Avery with a smile."That's really a joyous occasion.""Hmm." Avery saw a red mark on Juliet's neck. "What happened to your neck? Are you allergic to something?"Juliet's skin was especially fair

    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.
