But Layla's heart had already flown back to Aryadelle."I will come and stay for a few more days next time. I came here behind everyone's backs this time, and, since I've gotten what I wanted, I should hurry back," Layla said gleefully, not feeling tired at all because she had received a satisfying answer from Nadia.Nadia informed Eric about her conversation with Layla as soon as Layla left, and Eric felt incredibly troubled by Layla's recklessness. He also wondered what she might do now that she knew the truth.He stared at his phone and breathed heavily while thinking to himself, 'Layla hasn't reached out to me yet. Is she planning to look for me once she gets back? She's in Bridgedale now, so there's no point in me getting all worked up over it. I guess I'll have to wait until she gets back.'...By the time Layla arrived home, it was night. She felt exhausted from the total of twenty hours she had spent flying, so she looked horrible.Avery immediately stopped Layla in her p

"Dad," Ivy called out."What else did Layla say?"Ivy shook her head."She didn't tell you what she plans on doing?" Elliot had a feeling that Layla would neglect everything for Eric's sake."Ivy said she didn't hear anything else. Why are you still asking?" Avery glared at him before turning her attention back to Ivy. "We will talk to Layla once she wakes up, and, no matter what happens, we will resolve this peacefully."Ivy nodded, and Avery pulled Elliot back into their bedroom.Since Layla was asleep, they would all need to wait until she woke up to speak to her.Inside the master bedroom, Elliot paced back and forth."Alright, stop walking around. I feel dizzy just looking at you." Avery took out her pyjamas from the closet and said, "Why don't you go to the gym? You won't be able to sleep tonight if you don't exercise."Avery knew Elliot like the back of her hand; the matter had not been resolved, and none of them knew what Layla might say when she woke up, so Elliot was

A few seconds later, Robert said, "We will let things run their course!""If you won't back Layla up, I will," Ivy said. "We can't all turn our backs on her. What if she runs away from home?"An idea appeared in Robert’s mind, and he said, "How about this? If they really do get into a fight, you will back Layla up, and I will be on Dad's side to get him to calm down.""Sure!" Ivy said. "What would Hayden think of this?""Probably the same as Dad," Robert said flatly. "They resemble each other more and more as the years go by, both in their ways of presenting themselves and their values... I respect the two of them more than anyone, though.""Maybe you will be like them in the future.""No, I won't. I'm more like Mom in terms of personality." Robert knew himself well and said, "I might look more like Dad, but, deep inside, I'm like Mom. I'm not all that ambitious and only want our family to stay together happily ever after.""That's good! I love Mom." A gentle smile appeared on I

Robert sat across from Layla and sipped on a bowl of soup."You feel sick? Really? You look fine to me." She glanced at him."I... I am sick on the inside," he muttered."Oh!" she said. "You are staying home for the drama.""Don't you want my help? If you don't want it, I can just go." Though she was not entirely wrong, he had mostly stayed to help her.They grew up together, after all, and the bond between siblings was strong."You are not so heartless after all." She finished her pasta and felt as though her stomach was about to burst, so she poured herself a glass of water. "I will go up to my room to grab my phone.""Layla, are you sure you don't want to shower first?" Robert reminded her. "If you argue with Mom and Dad looking like this, they will think that you've gone mad."She lowered her gaze and noticed that her clothes were all wrinkled. She had not washed her face or brushed her hair before heading downstairs, so she knew that she looked like a mess."I just don't

Elliot had left no space for Layla to argue.Seeing how flushed Layla was, Robert immediately poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.Layla took a sip of the water and turned to Avery. "Mom, what do you think?"Elliot winked at his wife, hoping that she would side with him.Avery was at a crossroads. If she chose to side with Layla, Elliot would be upset; but supporting Elliot would only hurt Layla. In the end, she decided to remain neutral."I'm not going to participate in this discussion."The other three were instantly rendered speechless. "I only want us all to be healthy and happy," Avery continued. "I hope that you will consider what your dad said just now. If you agree with what he said, you can take his advice. But if what he said wasn't enough to convince you, you can continue to negotiate with him."Layla lowered her head. Though she had rested, she had not completely recovered from her exhaustion and still felt light-headed. She did not know what to say.

The call was immediately answered."I'm back," Layla said. "I've just talked to Dad."She did not mention what they had talked about, but Eric instinctively knew what she was referring to."Dad is not allowing me to meet with you," she said, listening to his breathing. "Maybe we aren't meant to be after all."Eric was not surprised by the result, since he had anticipated it."Move on with your life, and don't think about when the right person will appear. He might show up when you least expect it," said Eric, consoling her. "Yeah, but what about you? Has your perfect one been hiding because you are waiting for her?" she said. "Ms. Raven seems nice.""She is. I owe her dinner," he said calmly.He did not have to get married, and he had gotten used to being alone."She has done you a great favor and that's all you are doing?" Layla teased. "You are so stingy!""I have owed her dinner for a while now. I do owe her a favor for her help this time. I will repay her when she needs

But Robert had convinced her to go to school and promised her that he would mediate any conflicts that arose. Robert had told her that even if they held different opinions it was unlikely that they would get into an argument as they had never argued before. Ivy knew that what Robert said made sense and since Avery had promised to resolve the conflict peacefully, she went to school. However, when Robert sent her a text message saying that Layla had given up, Ivy's heart ached for Layla.After hearing how much Layla liked Eric, she knew that giving up must have been heartbreaking for Layla."Hello, Ivy. Would you like to be friends?" A boy with glasses walked over to Ivy.Ivy glanced at him.Her major required her to attend the lecture, and the boy before her majored in broadcasting as well. She had seen him a few times, and she barely recognized him. "Hello. I have something to attend to so I need to get going." Ivy did not want to befriend him. It was not because she was proud.

Ivy shook her head with a smile. "I can handle it. If I ignore his messages, he will get lost at some point. We don't have to trouble Dad over such things.""You are way out of that brat's league! I just don't want him to harass you. If he follows you again, don't hold back and tell him to get lost. If he refuses to listen, tell me right away." Brian was worried that Ivy might be too kind to turn others down. After all, she was tolerant enough to allow the boy to follow her all the way to the gates."Yeah. How's Layla?" "She was in her room when I left. They didn't fight, so don't worry.""Yeah, Robert told me about it, but I think Layla is probably quite upset.""Talk to her when you get home, then. It's just a man, and whoever he is, he's not worth starting an argument with your family."Ivy knew that what Brian said made sense, but humans were not machines, and sacrifices were always painful.Once she arrived home, Ivy changed into her slippers and went straight to Layla's r

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
