"And sell him our cakes?" Shelly asked."Of course, not! If it's a single man, you can entice him with your charm and see if you stand a chance of landing a date!" the staff member said. "Don't you want to marry someone rich? Tomorrow is the perfect chance for that."Shelly flushed. "You've probably read too many romance novels. It's just a concert, and you manage to make so much out of it.""Ms. Taylor, you don't go out much. I know plenty of girls who ran into handsome guys on the street and went up to them to ask for their numbers. Some got a date and some even have kids by now," the staff member said.Shelly listened with interest and said, "Alright. Keep your imagination at bay. I only have one goal right now, and that is to focus on the cafe so that we can make enough profit to afford a bigger place. Of course, you all need a raise as well."The staff member's eyes lit up. "Are we getting a raise, Ms. Taylor?"She nodded. "Yes, you are getting one this month.""You are awe

The two recognized each other right away.Shelly wore a duckbill cap and a mask that covered her face completely, but her eyes were unmistakable. They were round and bright as if they had yet to be tainted by the harshness of the world."Did you buy your own ticket?" Hayden asked suspiciously."No, Layla gave me the ticket," Shelly was also confused. "Did Layla give you your ticket, too?"Hayden nodded.Shelly instantly felt awkward and restless at the realization that Layla was clearly trying to set them up, and she wondered if Hayden would be angry about it.Spotting Shelly's bewildered expression, Hayden pondered for a moment before opening his mouth to speak."Don't mind—""Mr. Tate—"The two spoke at the same time."Please, go ahead," Shelly politely urged Hayden to speak.Hayden wanted to know what she was thinking, so he responded politely, "You go first!""Oh, alright!" Shelly took a deep breath and said, "Please don't be angry with Layla because of this. Even if he

No one cared about what he did at home, or what he did in the company. They only cared about whether he was holding his son or if he was fulfilling his fatherly duties. Two hours later, the concert came to an end, and Shelly was planning to leave when she noticed a woman sitting on the other side of her walking towards the stage. She looked like she was going to take a photo with the musician. Shocked, she asked, "Can we go up on stage to take a photo with the musician?""Those in the front row can do so," Hayden said."Huh? Really? Can I go, then?!" Shelly's eyes lit up with excitement.Hayden nodded. "I'll accompany you.""Great! Thank you!" Shelly exclaimed.The two of them walked toward the stage, queuing behind the audience members who had gone ahead.Before long, it was Shelly's turn.Shelly unlocked her phone and handed it to the staff member who was helping with the photographs while Hayden stood quietly beside her, observing.After taking the photo with the musicia

Shelly did not understand what Hayden wanted.She had never been in a relationship and had never experienced love, but Hayden was so gentle that she began to feel like he wanted to spend more time with her."I... I told my mom that I would bring her dinner," said Shelly, feeling a bit flustered.Hayden accurately interpreted the message hidden between her words, concluding that she had nothing important to do in the afternoon and could spend more time outside."I know a nice restaurant around here," Hayden said.Shelly smiled and said, "It's too early to pack dinner for my mom now, anyway.""True. How do you usually spend your weekends?" Hayden was a person who lacked hobbies. He had no idea how to go shopping with a woman, so he could only ask for Shelly's opinion.Little did he know, Shelly led a simple life as well."I sleep at home on weekends." Shelly rarely went outside for fun, but the reason behind her lack of social life was different from Hayden's; she simply stayed h

[You really don't know how to go on a date, do you?] Layla typed.[She wanted to get her hair washed, so was I supposed to stop her?] Hayden replied.[... Fine! Hahaha! You two are so weird!][If you had told her that I was coming, she would have washed her hair before going out.] Hayden commented.[Hahahaha! It's my bad! I didn't expect you two to actually go on a stroll together after the concert! Hayden, you don't like spending time with women, right? Why did you cave?][I don't hate Shelly.][Hahaha!]Hayden stared at Layla's message and felt irritated.A few minutes later, he received another message from her. [Hayden, take her to a mall after she is done. Shop for women's clothes, skin care products, or jewelry. Anything Mom and I like, she would like as well.][You are mistaken. She is just a friend.] Hayden typed.[Friends don't make babies together. To us, Shelly isn't just a friend of yours. What's so wrong with you spending money on her? You have more money than yo

Shelly did not expect Hayden to be so straightforward and was surprised that he had instantly seen through her."Not entirely... I just thought that you're single, and Courtney happens to be single as well. Besides, she really admires you," Shelly explained with a flushed face. "If you happen to have a positive impression of her as well, you two could give it a go... Of course, if you don't like Courtney, you can forget that I said anything."Hayden fell into deep self-doubt.His entire family was trying to bring him and Shelly together, while Shelly was trying to set him up with Courtney."If I marry another woman, our child will have a stepmother," Hayden reminded her."Yeah! I've thought about that, too. If you were with Courtney, that wouldn't be an issue," Shelly said sincerely. "Courtney would definitely be good to our son."Hayden remained silent.In the evening, Hayden returned home, and his family gathered around him, asking about what he thought of the date. After all,

Layla was instantly rendered speechless.She felt that the interaction between Hayden and Shelly was different from that of others, and she could not even begin to think of any advice to give."I'm going to take a shower." Hayden stood up from the couch and went back to his room.Once Hayden left, everyone began to speak freely."I feel like Hayden might have some feelings for Shelly." Robert was the first to express an opinion. "If he doesn't like Shelly, he wouldn't have spent the afternoon shopping with her.""Hahaha! You figured it out, huh? Yet, Hayden doesn't want to admit it!" Layla gloated. "I never expected him to fall for Shelly.""Hayden is slow to warm up to others, and he might genuinely not realize that he likes Shelly yet. Let's give them some more time," Ivy said."Ivy is right. We should create more opportunities for them to go out together more often," Avery said. "I also need to have another chat with Shelly. Perhaps you can talk to her and encourage her not t

Shelly had not thought of that and said, "Forget it. I don't want to disturb him."Seeing how polite Shelly was, the receptionist desperately wanted to help her. "Please wait, Ms. Taylor. I will call up to see if Mr. Tate is busy," the receptionist said and picked up the landline. "Mr. Taylor from Courtney's Cafe brought some kimchi for Mr. Tate. Can you help to ask Mr. Tate if she can come up?"Shelly felt embarrassed.She did not want to deliver anything to Hayden at first. However, her mother made some and since Hayden treated both her and her mother to dinner during the weekend, her mother insisted on returning the favor.Shelly did not think that a man of Hayden's status would be interested in homemade kimchi, but her mother insisted that it was thought that counted and that a favor had to be returned.Sometime later, Hayden's secretary said, "Mr. Tate asked Ms. Taylor to come up.""Okay." The receptionist hung up and smiled at Shelly. "Ms. Taylor, Mr. Tate asked you to go u

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
