When His Eyes Opened Chapter 2707
"I rarely go on business trips because Mom and Dad don't want me to exhaust myself. I used to listen to them, but I've had a moment of clarity. How can I shy away from the exhausting parts of work? I can't do that for work, nor can I do so for life in general. I want to train myself and to do that, I need to step out of the comfort zone our parents built for me."Ivy nodded in agreement.That night, Layla posted a photo of Cambrode and her flight ticket with the caption [Looking forward to my trip to Cambrode before going to sleep.]After that, she went to sleep.There was only one flight to Cambrode each day, and it departed at seven, which meant that she would have to arrive at the airport at six in the morning.Elliot's mansion was an hour's drive away from the airport, so, at the latest, Layla would need to wake up by half past four and leave by five, and this calculation excluded the time she would need for breakfast.She rarely needed to wake up early, so she was concerned.

Toward the end of the article, the author wrote that she had deleted all the ways she could contact the man whom she had failed to start a relationship with so that he would completely disappear from her world.The article ended with a sentence that stated 'Opposites attract, so men and women are only friends for a reason. If we can't be a couple, we ought to say goodbye. We need to empty that space in our hearts so that we can prepare for the prince that will surely appear before us someday.'Layla finished reading the article and felt slightly dazed.She was not one who was so easily affected by the words of others, but she knew that she would never recover unless she were to cut all ties with Eric.She knew herself all too well. As long as Eric was still in her contacts and as long as he continued to pay attention to what she wrote on social media, there was no way that she could ever forget about him and start a new relationship. However, if she wished to cut all ties with him,

"Stop following me. If you follow me to the entrance like you did last time, I'm reporting you to the guards," Ivy warned him.The boy was stunned for a moment as he did not expect Ivy to be so cold."Let's talk here, then!" The boy adjusted his glasses. "Are you mad at me for not replying to your message? It was the first time I encountered this sort of situation, so I didn't know what to say. I've thought things through, and I want to talk to you in person.""Can you stop acting like we are really close? I don't want to be your friend."The boy seemed to have a hard time accepting what she said and mumbled to himself, "Looks like you are really mad at me for not replying. I mean to tell you that we can get together first, and we can see what we can do about your family's debt later on in the future..."What he was saying was that he wanted to ignore the debt her family was in as they were only going to be in a short-term relationship. After all, they were still students, and it

After Elliot was done, Avery muttered, "I wonder what kind of guy Ivy would like.""She is just eighteen...""That's old enough to start dating. Elliot, you can't apply the same set of expectations you have for Layla to Ivy. Ivy has suffered a lot, and you are not going to stop her from dating!" Avery wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Elliot. "As long as the guy she likes is a good man and loves Ivy dearly, we will not stop her.""That's a dangerous way of looking at this, Avery. Do you know why I have such high standards for my future-son-law?" Elliot asked, "It's because those requirements can only be fulfilled by talented and virtuous men...""Why do you think a person's heart is connected to those requirements?" said Avery, disagreeing. "One's personality is partially determined by genes and partially determined by the environment they grow up in. Even kids who grow up in ordinary or poor families could have a good heart. Just look at Ivy. She grew up in poverty, and s

"Something happened to my family's factory. Are you behind it?" The boy had been scolded by his father and had hardly slept the night before, so he came to the gate early and waited for Ivy.His father called home last night saying that a few of the clients had terminated their contracts with their factory, and when the boy's father went to speak to those clients, they informed him that they had terminated their contracts because his son had crossed someone he should not have. If his house was close to the university dorm, the boy's father would have gone all the way to the dorm to beat him up.He had not slept the entire night. He had stayed awake wondering who he had crossed, and the only person he could think of was Ivy. "What happened to your family's factory?" Ivy asked in confusion."Are you not the one who did it? The only one I upset was you," the boy said in frustration. "I didn't expect you to be so capable as to do such a thing to our factory… We only have a few clien

[Okay. What are you having for lunch?] Avery typed.Ivy took a photo of her lunch: pasta and mushroom soup.Avery immediately replied worriedly. [Darling, is that really enough for you?]Avery, too, had not watched what she ate back when she was a university student, but her standards for her children were different.[I ate too much during breakfast this morning, so I’m not hungry right now. I will have a more balanced meal later at night when I get home.][What do you want for dinner, then? I will tell the servants to make whatever you want.][Anything. No matter what, home-cooked meals are the best.]Avery's lips curled into a smile as she read her daughter's message.Ivy was a sweet and independent daughter, and Avery did not need to worry about her at all.After a while, Avery sent her another message. [Ivy, do you think your dad and I have been out of line for stopping your sister from pursuing the man she wants? I want to hear the truth.]She had wanted to discuss this

"Alright. I will check it out."Once the meeting ended, they proceeded to dinner.Since the weather in Cambrode was extremely cold, the locals enjoyed drinking liquor."Ms. Tate, this liquor is famous here. I'm not sure if you've heard about it." The person representing the client handed Layla a bottle of liquor.Layla was not in the habit of drinking, and she did not know much about expensive liquor."Is this vodka?" She noticed that the liquor was transparent."Yeah! We only drink vodka here. It feels warm."The assistant immediately interfered and said, "Ms. Tate can't drink. Do you have any beer? We will just have beer.""Haha, just try a little. It will be fine." The person in charge uncapped the bottle and poured a small glass for Layla.Seeing how he did not mean to make her drunk and only wanted her to try the famous local liquor, Layla took a sip without hesitation and scowled."Hahaha! How was it, Ms. Tate?""It kind of burns my throat...""Looks like you really c

"Ms. Tate! Why would you climb a mountain at this time? I'll send you back to the hotel! Be a good girl!" The assistant grabbed Layla by the arm and attempted to drag her back, but Layla dodged her hand.After drinking, Layla was exceptionally strong, and her assistant had never seen Layla behave this way before. In her mind, Layla had always been elegant and brilliant, like a princess in a fairy tale. Though Layla was adorable when she acted normal, her assistant found it hard to deal with her. She panted in exhaustion and watched as Layla made a call, wondering who she was calling.The assistant hesitated and contemplated if she should get the bodyguard to carry Layla back to the hotel despite Layla's protests. She was worried that Layla might really climb a mountain. Though Layla was her supervisor, she could not allow Layla to do anything dangerous because she would be held responsible if something happened to Layla.The phone was answered shortly after and Eric's voice came

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
