Shelly paled at Avery's words. "Aunty, when will your driver arrive?""Probably in a while because he is dropping someone else off right now. Are you home today?""I am, but my apartment is messy.""It's fine. I've bought quite a lot of things for you, so I will get him to carry them up to your apartment. You don't have to tidy your apartment for that. I know that you are busy with work...""Sure. Thank you, Aunty Avery." Unable to refuse Avery's offer, Shelly said, "I will come to visit you when I have the time.""Of course. Just let me know when so I can be prepared," Avery said enthusiastically.Shelly massaged her temples after hanging up. "Mom, Aunty Avery is sending someone to deliver gifts to me, and her driver will be here later. You need to take Audrey outside with you." Shelly was having a rather relaxing day up until the moment Avery called."It's so cold out there so where on earth am I supposed to go with Audrey?" Shelly's mother asked. "Everyone should be on holida

"There's wine here, too!" Mr. Taylor's eyes lit up. "Is this for me? You don't drink.""I guess... Maybe these supplements are for Mom," Shelly said. "I told her that Mom has recently gone through surgery.""Avery is such a nice person." Mrs. Taylor was moved. "She has sent so many gifts, so you ought to pay her a visit in a few days to thank her, Shelly.""Mom, even if I do, I can't afford to give them gifts of equal value.""They don't care what gifts you bring with you. Just be a joy and make them happy. That will do you good," Mrs. Taylor said."Alright. It's not like I want to make them hate me on purpose, anyway!" Shelly put the gifts away.Still, it was not until a week later that Shelly finally paid the Fosters a visit.The Fosters were no ordinary family, and she knew that they would be swarmed by relatives who came to visit, so she waited a week before going to their house.Avery had called her a few times during that time, asking if she wanted to join them for dinner

Avery felt relieved. "How's business lately?""Ever since we launched the new cakes after New Year's, our sales have been going up! We have a lot of repeat customers, so we are making profits," Shelly said. "Aunty Avery, thank you. If it weren't for you, our business wouldn't run so smoothly.""Don't thank me. I can't rest until I see you living a great life yourself," Avery said. "By the way, Shelly, I wanted to ask how many cakes you can make each day. My daughter's company would like to order cakes for its employees once a week, but I don't know if you can supply that many cakes."Shelly was thrilled. "We sell approximately a thousand cakes each day, and since that's way past our usual daily sales, we intend to hire a few more employees.""Haha! That's great! Layla's company will need about five hundred cakes, and you can have those delivered to her every Friday. Will that be okay?" Avery was worried that Shelly might not accept it and said, "The cakes distributed to employees a

Hayden could not help but admire how wild Avery's imagination was. In the end, he caved and said, "Alright, Mom. I will deliver the contract tomorrow morning.""Good! It's just a contract, so why are you overreacting? I only asked you to do it because your company is located near her cafe," Avery teased. "When I saw the address of the office, I suspected that you chose that location just so you can be close to her.""... Mom, it's just a coincidence! That's it! Besides, I didn't decide on the address, my team did. You can ask my employees if you don't believe me.""No, thank you." Avery turned around with a grin and played with Aiden. "Hayden, do you want to come and see your son? Shelly said that he is looking more handsome."Hayden walked over to glance at Aiden. "What else did she say?" Hayden wanted to say that he was starving but changed his mind at the last second. He wanted to talk about Shelly to show Avery that he was not avoiding Shelly. "She said that she wants to wo

Satisfied, Avery said, "Be nicer to Shelly.""I'm nice to her all the time, Mom," Hayden said. "I know that you want us to date, but you can't force this sort of thing.""I'm not forcing anything. I'm just asking that you treat her better. No matter what, she is Aiden's mom!" Avery reasoned with him. "She comes from poverty, so we should help her where we can."Hayden nodded and agreed, "Which is why I think you are doing great whenever you offer to help her. With you to look after her, I have nothing to worry about."Avery fell silent."I'm done, Mom." Hayden finished his milk and prepared to head out for work."Are you eating properly for lunch? I can always get the driver to deliver lunch to you." Avery was worried that he was not eating properly. Home-cooked meals would always be more nutritious than food outside."It's fine, Mom. I might not be in the office in the afternoon." Hayden wiped his lips with a tissue and headed out.In Courtney’s Cafe, Shelly received a text fr

After all, compromises were required for the bettering of the business.Shelly tensed for a few moments when she saw Hayden and forced a smile. "Hello, Mr. Tate. Aunty Avery told me that you are here to deliver the contract to me."Hayden took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed the one-paged contract to Shelly.Shelly accepted it and noticed that Hayden had already signed it, so she only needed to add her signature."I will grab a pen from my office. Please wait," she said before heading back to her office.Hayden was curious to see what her office looked like, so he followed her.From his perspective, the cafe was extremely small, and he was amazed that there was an office in such a small area.He followed Shelly curiously to her office and to his surprise, Courtney was there as well.When the staff called out for Shelly, Courtney wanted to go outside as well, but she had not put on makeup that morning when she went to work, so she hesitated, not expecting Hayden

Shelly immediately locked her phone and smiled at Courtney. "I don't have Mr. Tate's number, so you should use your phone! You just bought it right? The camera is better than mine.""You can take my number down now, then!" Hayden said before unlocking his own phone to give her his number.Shelly could not believe what she was hearing and stared at the screen."Shelly, hurry up! I'll take his number if you don't!" Courtney urged.Shelly hummed and hurried over to her desk. "I'm a little thirsty. Let me take a sip of water first."She fumbled for a glass as she unlocked her phone to navigate to the contact list. Thankfully, she only had the photo of the twins on her locked screen and not anywhere else.She took a sip of water and returned to take Hayden's number down."Mr. Tate, can I have your number as well? Don't worry. I won't bother you. I just want your number in my contact list so I will be more inspired to work hard when I look at your number!" said Courtney.Moved by her

[Have any of you been to this cafe? How do the cakes taste?][The cafe recently opened! I haven't bought anything from it before, but I plan to go there this afternoon! It's close to our office!][Let's go together and check out the cafe where our boss went to!][Me, too! Count me in!]...That afternoon, Courtney’s Cafe welcomed a group of employees from Dream Maker.Dream Maker did not have any uniforms that its employees had to wear, but they were all required to wear tags. When the staff members were starting to get overwhelmed, Shelly went outside to help, and when she spotted the tags worn by her customers, she asked in confusion, "Are you all from Dream Maker?""Yeah! Our boss bought desserts from your cafe today. Did you recognize him? His name is Hayden Tate! We are all here because he came!" one of the female employees chirped.Shelly was at a loss for words. She was astounded by how Hayden had managed to advertise her cafe without having to do much. "Your boss di

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
