His parents had retired and were more than capable of taking care of him. If he insisted on moving out, it would only worry them.

"I am searching for a maid now, and once I find one, you will move in with me," Layla said. "I came here today to talk to your parents about it."

Eric's expression darkened as Layla did not intend on discussing it with him.

Layla said so because she knew that Eric would never agree to it and resorted to talking to his parents instead.

Noticing that Eric was upset, Ivy immediately brought Mrs. Santos over. "Mrs. Santos, Layla wants to discuss living arrangements with you."

Mrs. Santos nodded and sat down next to Layla. "Where will you take Eric?"

"I bought a place near my office some time ago. I will take a maid from my dad's house and hire another one to take care of Eric," Layla explained. "You and Mr. Santos are old now, and I don't want you to exhaust yourself. If you want to see Eric, you can always come and visit."

Mrs. Santos hesitated.

    Layla helped Eric to his room and closed the door.As soon as the door was closed, Robert and Ivy turned to look at the door."Robert, are they going to fight?" Ivy knew that Eric was not willing to move in with Layla.Eric did not reject the idea right away, but his reluctance could be seen in the look on his face.Robert shook his head without hesitation. "Even if they do fight, we won't hear it. Eric's parents are here and so are we, so they will hold back."I guess, but I think Eric doesn't want to move in with Layla. He looks..." Ivy allowed her words to trail off. Robert shrugged. "That's between the two of them. Even if we want to help, we can't resolve the core issue.""Yeah. Eric looked so cute when he was a child. He looked like a porcelain doll!" Ivy lowered her gaze to focus on the photo album."Indeed. There are a lot of people online that suspect him of undergoing plastic surgery, but if those people can see these photos, they will know that that's not true.""T

    The winner will be decided by who caves in first. "Layla, you don't know my condition well enough." Eric could understand how she felt, but he could not allow her to waste her time on him. "I can die at any moment.""I'm not forcing you to marry me right now," she blurted out. "Rest for half a year, and if everything goes well, you will feel much better. If you are fine by then, I will get my parents to plan our wedding. I don't care when you die. So long as you are alive before the wedding, I am marrying you."He lowered his head and did not argue, because there was nothing he could do to change Layla's mind unless he dropped dead at this very moment."Are you really that appalled by the idea of marrying me?" She sat down by the bed and stared at him. "If you are dying, why won't you want to enjoy what time you have left? Why won't you want to make me happy? Do you want to see me upset?"He looked up in shock. Upsetting Layla had never been his intent. "If that's not the case,

    "Layla, you are stressing me out, pushing me like this," he said. "I didn't save you simply because it was you. I would have done the same thing even if it was Ivy, Robert, or Hayden in that situation—""I know. You are going to say that you saved me to repay my mom," she interrupted him. "I don't want to marry you because you saved me. I have been wanting to marry you for a while now. Don't think that I'm doing this because I feel guilty. I'm not a fool. If I don't like you, you can save my life ten times more and I still wouldn't marry you."He spotted the determination in her eyes and lowered his head shamefully at her words."If you really think that you don't have much longer to live, spend that time with me!" Layla said. "Just think of it as your last chance to spoil me."In the living room, Ivy and Robert had gone through all the photos and handed the album back to Mr. Santos. "Do you want to see more? We have other albums of him as well," Mr. Santos offered enthusiastical

    Robert and Ivy immediately shook their heads."I'm specifically talking about you, Robert. I opened your gift as soon as I went in. You are lucky that it's not anything inappropriate, or I would have had your head." Layla took a sip of water."Layla, don't you trust me at all? With the condition that Eric is in, why would I give him something inappropriate?" Robert argued. "How did the conversation go? Is he not willing to move into your place?""He didn't say yes, but neither did he say no," Layla said casually. "He wants me to give him more time to think.""You are great at this, Layla! If he says that he will consider it, it means he is wavering." Robert knew that his elder sister had the advantage."If I'm great at this whole thing, I would already be in a relationship with him." Layla used to be hot-headed, but Eric had made her a better person. "Thank you, both of you. I saw your gifts, and I know that you are trying to help me.""It's all Ivy's idea," Robert said. "She is

    That afternoon, Elliot and Avery stopped by, having heard from Layla that she planned to move in with Eric. They realized that Eric had agreed to a relationship with Layla, and their new status warranted a discussion. Avery did not have much to say to Eric as he would be too busy recovering, and this meant that Layla would be dominating the relationship. Eric had always spoiled Layla and would give up on whatever he wanted in favor of whatever she wanted. Once the two arrived, Mrs. Santos hurried out to ask if they had eaten."We have, so don't worry about us. Sit down and take a break!" Avery pulled Mrs. Santos down to sit next to her. "Elliot and I came over because Layla said she is going to move in with Eric. It's good that they decided to be together. They know each other well, and because of that, we aren't worried about them getting into arguments in the future." Mrs. Santos smiled weakly. "Eric is lucky to be loved by Layla. She is such a brilliant and beautiful girl,

    Ivy shook her head without hesitation. "I don't know how to play, Layla.""You can learn!" Robert dragged Ivy over. "I will guide you."Once Ivy was seated, Layla sat down to play. After playing for a while, Ivy slowly began to understand the rules of the game, so Elliot let Robert take his seat."I will check on your mom." Elliot was concerned that Avery might be bored if she was left alone."Dad, you are just bored with us! Why don't you call Mom over as well?" Robert teased."I'll ask." Elliot left and did not return. Instead, he took Avery out for a stroll.The house Mr. and Mrs. Santos lived in belonged in an older area with a great environment."Elliot, are you a little upset?" Avery glanced at him with a smile. "I knew that Layla would be able to convince Eric.""I'm fine." He stared off into the distance calmly. "Layla longs for marriage, and even if it wasn't Eric, it would be someone else. I might be prejudiced against Eric, but I can't deny that he is a talented man.

    "If her dad is that powerful, why is she studying here at all? The TV station is run by the country. It's not privately owned!" someone said. "Besides, we would have known if the station manager's daughter is here!""Let me check the name of the station manager..." One of the students from Ivy's class pulled out his phone and began searching the internet. "The station manager's family name isn't Foster, so I don't think she is related to him!""How did she get in, then? She is just a pretty face with an accent. Can she even do her job? It's not like they are starting a show to display different accents! Haha!""Hey, settle down... If she manages to get into the program, it means that she has some level of competency. If she hears you talking about her like that, you might lose your chances of getting into the station in the future!" someone else reminded the others."What a joke! There is more than one TX station in Avonsville! Apart from the one for the State, there are ones for t

    "There were only eight spots, and she took one of them. It's only natural that we are all upset! We wouldn't say anything if she has what it takes, but she doesn't and yet she dares to take a spot away from someone who does have what it takes! How shameless!" the person said before leaving in frustration.Meredith picked up her phone and saw Ivy's reply.[I will work hard.]"It looks like there really is more to the story," Meredith thought. "If Ivy isn't explaining how she got into the internship program, it means that she is feeling guilty about it as well."Just then, she recalled that her aunt had once tutored Ivy and worked at the television station, so her aunt might know more about it.Meredith immediately sent her aunt a message, asking if she knew anything about it as this was the first time the station had ever selected a first-year student as an intern.Her aunt replied right away.

    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.
