Ivy was starving, so she inhaled the pasta.

Avery immediately served Ivy a bowl of soup and said, "Have some soup as well. Be careful not to choke."

"Okay... Mom, I can eat a horse! I just get so hungry after work." Ivy took a sip of her soup and said, "Mom, I have two days off."

"Let's go shopping for things we need for New Year's, then!" Avery had made plans.

Ivy had been alone by herself. For over a decade, she had been away from her family, and considering how she lived in poverty, Avery knew that Ivy had not experienced a grand New Year's celebration.

"Sure! What do we need to buy?" Ivy decided to take a break from eating for a moment.

"We usually get plants, decorations, and lights... Oh, we need to get fireworks as well. We would play with fireworks every year during New Year's. We will have to change the time that we do it, though. You need to work at night, so we will release the firework before you go to work or after you come home."

Ivy felt moved by her words. "Let's

    Ivy replied. [Anthony, I've only left my post twice: once to use the bathroom and the other time to go to the lounge. Have you seen anyone at my desk?][My back was facing your post, and I had been focusing on reciting my script, so I didn't pay attention.][It's okay, then. Don't worry and just focus on work.][Ivy, there’s someone you suspect, isn't there?][I don't have any proof.][So, you aren't going to do anything?][What can I do when I have no proof?]The two were speaking in riddles. Anthony was trying to ask if Ivy suspected Andrea to be the culprit, but Ivy refused to tell him what she thought.Had it not been for the accident the night before, they would have never even spoken to one another and she saw no point in sharing her thoughts with a stranger.[Be careful from now on. I saw your show last night, and you are really quick on your feet. I should learn from you.] Anthony added.[Thank you.]After talking to Anthony, Ivy saw Layla's reply.[Of course, I'm c

    Andrea sent another message. [Are you free to talk on the phone right now? I will give you a call!]Ivy did not want to hear Andrea's voice and replied. [I'm busy right now.][Okay! I don't know what happened to your script, Ivy, but I am certain that I didn't touch it.][The manager will look into it. Let's wait for the result!] Ivy replied.[Okay! Don't let what happened to get to you. I watched the replay of your show and you were brilliant!]Had Ivy received such a compliment from anyone else, she would have thanked them, but she could not bring herself to thank Andrea and simply ignored the message."Ivy, have you talked to your sister?" Avery asked when she saw Ivy walking down the stairs."I did. She said that she will be coming home with Eric this New Year's.""Oh, okay!" Avery beamed. "Don't you need some more rest, Ivy?""I can't go back to sleep, Mom." Ivy walked over. "Let's go shopping!""Okay.""I will get changed, then." Ivy hurried up the stairs, and Avery co

    Avery had yet to hang up on the phone, so Layla heard what Elliot said.She had not mentioned that she was going to take her passport immediately, but since Elliot was determined to settle the matter, she had no excuse not to go to the mansion."Layla didn't even say that she is coming over right now," Avery said."Why not? Is she afraid of me?" Elliot asked calmly before taking his seat on the couch.Avery realized that he wanted to take the opportunity to speak to Layla and said, "Layla, if you are free right now, come over! Talk to your dad, and he will give you your passport. Your sister and I are going to shop for New Year's."Layla whined. "Mom, can't you just go later? I can call Ivy and tell her about it. Just go later!""Your dad wants to talk to you alone.""Alright! He won't lecture me, though, will he?""He's already agreed for you to move in with Eric, so why would he be against you getting married? Just be honest and sincere, and I'm sure he won't make it hard for

    The bodyguard went ahead and opened the door for her.Before she could change into the slippers, she spotted Elliot sitting on the couch with Eric next to him and she froze."Why is Eric here?" She thought. "Did he come here on his own, or did Dad bring him here?""Dad," she said and swiftly changed into slippers before striding up to Eric. "Why are you here?""I told the driver to bring him here." Elliot glanced at the flowers in Layla's hands. "Who did you buy those for?"She presented the bouquet to him fawningly. "For you, of course. Dad, why did you bring him here?""You want your passport, right? You want to file the paperwork for your marriage, and you are not doing it alone." Elliot accepted the flowers and handed them to the servant.The servant immediately took them and left.Eric turned to look at Layla in surprise at Elliot's words. He clearly had no clue about Layla's plan until this moment"Why are you looking at me that way?" Layla met his eyes. "I said that we

    Eric stilled sheepishly. "I didn't bring my wallet along."When Elliot sent his driver to fetch Eric, Eric thought that something horrible had happened and was in too much of a rush to take anything with him apart from his phone."Pay with my phone. Go with the driver, or the size might not be right." Eric handed his phone to Layla.Layla accepted his phone and tried to unlock the screen. "What's the password of your phone?" She asked with a blush on her face."Your birthday." Eric was blushing as well. "All the passwords of my accounts are your birthday. The ones that are four-digit will be the month and date of your birthday and the ones that have six digits are the year, month, and date of your birthday."Layla would not have been so shy if she were not in her parent's house.She ran outside with Eric's phone, and Elliot turned to stare at Eric. "When did you change all your passwords to my daughter's birthday?""After she moved in with me," Eric explained. "If something happ

    "That's a peach tree." Avery noticed that Ivy was drawn to it and went into the store with Ivy."Mom, peach flowers don't bloom during this time of the year, right?" Ivy asked. "Is this fake? It looks real, though.""These are real peach blossoms," the owner explained. "You can take a closer look if you don't believe me. It smells great as well! We take care of it in a specific way so that it blooms in January, so it costs a little more."Avery did not ask about the price and simply inspected the tree. "I think it's real." She turned to look at Ivy. "If you like it, we will buy it."Ivy loved it but noticed that there was only one peach tree in the store and leaned over to whisper into Avery's ear, "I think Layla is going to love this."Avery turned to look at the tree once again and realized that Ivy was right."Mom, don't speak. Let me try to bargain with them," Ivy whispered and proceeded to ask the owner about the price.The owner noticed that both Ivy and Avery were dressed

    "The owner's wife and kids were in the shop with him, weren't they?" Ivy still thought that the tree was too expensive. "If I didn’t think that Layla would like it, I wouldn't even pay seven hundred and seventy-seven for it.""Haha, your sister will be touched if she knows that you spent so much for her." Avery could tell how much Ivy cared about Layla."I wonder how the talk between Layla and Dad is going." Ivy was slightly worried. "He won't get mad at her, will he?"Avery shook her head. "I don't think so. Your dad is a good father. Even if he finds fault with his children's actions, he would never get angry.""I'm just worried that Dad might not give Layla her passport," Ivy said worriedly. "Layla has already moved in with Eric, so I don't see a point in stopping them from getting married.""You might think that, but your dad thinks differently. Your sister is far too reckless. Just because she is suddenly in the mood to get married, she insists on doing it today and didn't ev

    Eric's house was not far from Elliot's mansion, so Layla could go home whenever she wanted.Elliot could not help but feel impressed by his wife and daughter when he saw how much they had brought in that small amount of time.They had bought more in past years, and many flowers and plants were delivered to Eric's house.Apart from plants, there were all sorts of light decorations and lanterns, along with colorful balloons and pumps.Elliot glanced at the things they bought and said, "Where are you going to hang the balloons?""In the living room, of course! We will style them to form the words 'Happy New Year' on the wall. Just imagine how festive that would look!" Avery said.Elliot nodded. "Indeed. Do you need my help pumping the balloons?""Sure! You can help with that and hang the lights on the plants," Avery said."Sure. You must be exhausted, right? You two should get some rest." Elliot picked up one of the pumps and started pumping balloons."I'm fine. Shopping with Ivy

    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
