Shortly after, Robert came downstairs."Don't you have classes today?" Hayden asked."No. Hayden, don't you have something to do this morning?" Robert yawned. "Where's your son?""The paternity test results aren't released yet," Hayden reminded him."But we all know that's your son! I've never touched a woman before, so I can't create a baby out of thin air," Robert said with amusement. "Hayden, are you still struggling to accept reality?"Hayden ignored his brother's mockery."Hayden, it's normal for a man your age to be a father, so why are you having such a hard time accepting this? I would be quite happy to know that I've become a father! Our parents have been dreaming of having grandchildren, after all," Robert said with a smile, not understanding why Hayden seemed unhappy."Eat your breakfast," Hayden said, not wanting to continue the discussion.Robert was a child in Hayden's eyes, and he would remain so no matter how old he became.Robert had never been through hardshi

Hayden ordered a cup of coffee and turned his attention back to Shelly."I don't like to owe others," he said. "Name a price!""You want to buy my son?" Shelly asked in confusion. "Are you trying to say that you won't let me see him again?""No. I can arrange it if you want to see him. I don't have the right to stop my son from seeing his mother.""Why are you offering me money, then?" Shelly asked. "I was the one who willingly gave birth to him and delivered him to you. You don't owe me anything!""You were pregnant for ten months and had to go through labor all alone. I'm offering to compensate you for the hardship you had to endure," said Hayden. "Oh... The pregnancy didn't really affect me that much because I worked during that time as well," Shelly said honestly. "If you want to compensate me in any way, just treat our child right.""Naturally, I won't mistreat my own son," Hayden promised."You aren't married yet, so I'm sure he won't be mistreated." Shelly was mainly co

Shelly chuckled. "Mr. Tate, your question makes me feel kind of uncomfortable, but I can tell you that I don't have any pursuers.""Why would you feel uncomfortable?""Because it's my private life that you are asking about."After receiving her response, Hayden was about to end the conversation when his phone rang.He took it out and realized that it was a call from Avery.Knowing that Avery was calling to check on him, he answered the call in front of Shelly."Hayden, have you met with the baby's mother? How's the conversation going? What's her name? What does she look like?" Avery fired question after question. "What is she like in person?""We met. The conversation ended. Her name is Shelly Taylor. She now works at a cafe. She looks alright."Shelly was rendered speechless by how insensitive Hayden was, talking about her as if she was not there. "She is quite decisive," Hayden added. "I wanted to pay her, and she turned me down. She isn't playing hard to get."Shelly had

"Woah! Shelly, I think he might like you. Why else would he get his mother to meet with you?" Courtney said. "His mother is no ordinary woman. Just search the name Avery Tate online and you will know that she is one of a kind.""I know." Shelly had done far more than research Avery; she had also looked into Elliot and Layla.Shelly could not possibly send her son off without knowing whether he would be well cared for.If Hayden's family were involved in countless negative scandals, she would have never sent her son to them. It was precisely because she did not find anything bad about the family that gave her the confidence to entrust her son to them."Hahaha! You still have a chance, Shelly! If you don't want to marry Hayden Tate, you should at least ask his mother for some money. If you want to marry him, though, you can turn down anything they offer you. You are pretty and young. On top of that, you give birth to two children for their family...""Courtney, do you know just how

"Haha. We can't possibly be appalled by you!" Avery noticed that Shelly was less wary and asked, "I heard that you are working at a cafe. Which cafe do you work for? My youngest daughter has a sweet tooth, so I want to get something for her."After a brief moment of consideration, Shelly nodded. "Aunty Avery, the cafe recently opened, so I'm not sure if the desserts fit your taste.""Is it yours?" Avery was slightly surprised."No. My friend invested in it, and I manage it," Shelly explained sheepishly."But you have shares in it, right?" Avery asked with a smile.Shelly nodded."Can you bake?" Avery continued."I can't, so we hired a pastry chef," Shelly said.Avery nodded. "Do you know about GD patisserie? Their cakes taste good."Shelly nodded frantically. "Of course. GD Patisserie is one of the most famous brands in the industry. I love their cakes as well, but they are a little out of my budget.""Yeah. I know their owner, so why don't I introduce you to her? If you want

An hour later, Avery bought a few cakes from Shelly's cafe and left.As soon as she left, Courtney darted out from around a corner. "Shelly, Avery is so nice to you! She even gave her the access card to her house! Does that mean that you have full access to their house from now on? You are practically on your way to becoming a part of their family!" Courtney said enviously. "Next time you go to their house, can you take some photos to show me? I'm so curious as to what the house of the truly wealthy people looks like.""I need to take care of my daughter during the weekend, so I can't possibly go to his house every week," Shelly said."Just take photos when you do!""I can't! There are bound to be a lot of people in their house. All I can do is take photos of my son and not their house," Shelly said."I will give you a video call, then. That way, I get a tour around the house.""Sure, as long as you aren't embarrassed about it." Shelly was in a good mood and agreed to her request

"It's alright." Hayden had tasted other cakes in the past, and the cakes from Shelly's cafe were only average in terms of taste. "Mom, you just think everything she does is great.""You are too picky," Avery said before turning to leave.During the weekend, Avery called the owner of GD Patisserie to her house, and once the appointment was made, Avery informed Shelly about it.It was the first time Shelly had been to Elliot's mansion.Avery had informed her family about Shelly's visit, so everyone looked forward to meeting her.Shelly was nervous and even lost sleep the night before her visit.The next day, she brought a fruit basket, and when Avery saw the basket, she immediately grabbed it."Why would you bring a gift with you? You didn't have to! You don't have to come with a gift next time," Avery said as she handed Shelly a pair of slippers.Shelly could feel her heart racing and marveled at how big the mansion was."Shelly, allow me to introduce my children." Avery brough

"That's nice! Aiden... what a cute name!" Avery was satisfied with the name. "Is that a nickname?"Shelly shook her head. "It's not. That's his name. You can make one up if you want to.""Hahaha! I used to have so many ideas when I named my own children! I didn't feel pressured because they are my children, but naming a grandchild is entirely different," Avery said. "Why don't you give it more thought when you get home?""Sure."Avery introduced Shelly to the owner of GD Patisserie, and after a brief introduction, the owner started to teach Shelly how to bake."A new cafe usually only requires one or two signature cakes at first, and that ought to attract enough repeat customers. Of course, apart from taste, service is important as well. I will teach you two types of cakes today. One is a cupcake that has been really popular for the past twenty years, and one is the newest product that we've launched..."Shelly paid full attention, and time flew.Soon, it was noon, and since the

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
