"I know I'm not worthy of Hayden, but people always aspire to greater heights. Why shouldn't I find a man who is better than me? Are you suggesting that I must marry someone equally as impoverished as I am because my family is poor?" Shelly confidently countered Seraphina.

"Ha! I understand your desire to climb higher," Seraphina responded.

"I have, indeed, set my sights on achieving more in life, but even if Hayden wasn't the CEO of Dream Maker, I would still fall for him." Shelly blushed.

"Oh, so you are in love with him. Well, then, don't become a burden on him. Do you know the difficulties Hayden's company is facing in China?" Seraphina questioned.

Shelly shook her head.

She had only recently started dating Hayden, and she was completely unaware of his business affairs. Moreover, even if they were to get married, given Hayden's personality, he would likely never disclose his business matters to her because she simply would not understand.

"Only my family can help him,"

    What Seraphina said seemed to be true. Hayden's company was facing a crisis, and Hayden would never turn to Elliot for help. Shelly felt both worried and conflicted as she could not help Hayden in any way. If Hayden found himself a more capable wife, he might not have to struggle alone. This was just the beginning. Hayden would run into countless crises and difficulties ahead, and the thought that she could not help filled Shelly with shame. "Shelly, it will be enough for you to support him," Avery said with a smile. "He will handle work himself, so you don't need to worry about him." "Aunty Avery, is that how it is for you and Uncle Elliot?" Shelly curiously asked. Avery blushed. "Elliot is someone who appears cold on the surface but has a warm heart underneath. When I was starting my own business, I faced many difficulties, and he always found ways to help me. I would accept his assistance every now and then." "And have you helped Uncle before?" Shelly inquired. Ave

    The nanny could not help but take a photo of such a harmonious scene. Just then, Elliot walked over and asked Shelly where Avery was. "Aunty Avery is in the backyard checking out her fruit trees," Shelly said. Elliot nodded before saying hesitantly, "It's normal for kids to fight. You don't have to worry too much about it. Robert used to get beaten by Layla all the time when they were little! There's no big issue as long as no one is severely injured." Elliot only brushed it off because Aiden was the one who had been hit. He would not have reacted the same way if Audrey had been beaten. "I know," Shelly said with a smile. "When will Hayden come home?" Elliot asked. Shelly had not contacted Hayden during the day, nor had Hayden contacted her to inform her when he would return. "Let me call him and ask," she said, and the two nannies immediately hurried over to take the twins away. Shelly took out her phone and called Hayden. Hayden answered the call promptly. "When

    At ten that night, Hayden drove his car into the yard, and Shelly, who had stayed awake, immediately got up to turn on the lights in her room. Hayden noticed the lights in the bedroom on the third floor turn on as he got out of the car. "That's my bedroom," he thought. "Is Shelly still awake? Are the kids still awake, too? It's bad for kids to stay up." Hayden hurried into the house and entered the elevator to reach the third floor. As he entered the bedroom, he noticed that the bed was empty and heard noises coming from the bathroom. "Shelly, where are the children?" Hayden walked to the bathroom door and saw that Shelly had already prepared the bathwater for him. "Today, Aunty Avery told the nanny to take care of Audrey." Shelly's blushed slightly. "Do you always work this late? It must be exhausting!" Hayden entered the bathroom. "In the past, when I was busy, I sometimes came home even later than this. From now on, I'll try to come back earlier." "I see. You must be

    Hayden finally realized that Shelly was not joking. "Who told you to do this?" Hayden's voice grew colder. Shelly had always been obedient and compliant, so Hayden believed that someone must have influenced her to break up with him. "No one. I just realized that the gap between us is too big. Even if we're together now, we won't be happy in the long run," Shelly explained. "Hayden, I'm sure there are many women better than me around you. Try to interact with others more, and you'll see that I'm just an ordinary person who isn't fit to be by your side." "Nonsense!" Hayden shouted in anger. "Where are you now? We can't discuss this over the phone. Come back, and we'll talk face to face." "I'm not coming back," Shelly immediately refused without a second thought. "I plan to study abroad and won't be coming back for a while. You are all outstanding, and I want to improve myself." "Can't you study and improve yourself while being with me?" Hayden retorted. "Even if I improve,

    Mrs. Taylor immediately spoke up. "I'll call her right away and find out!" She dialed Shelly's phone number, and after a few seconds, the call was answered. "Shelly, what's wrong?" Mrs. Taylor walked toward the adjacent restroom, holding her phone. "Why are you breaking up with Hayden all of a sudden? Did he do something to you? Tell Mom. I'll definitely stand by your side." Shelly choked on her tears. "Mom, Hayden didn't do anything wrong. I just realized that we're not compatible. He doesn't depend on me. The only reason he stays with me is because I gave birth to our two children. If another woman had children with him, he could marry her as well." Mrs. Taylor's expression was filled with disappointment. "But didn't you say you really liked him? Didn't you want to fight for this opportunity?" "I did think that way before, but I regret it now. I'm scared. I don't deserve him at all, so why should I hold him back?" Shelly wiped away her tears. "Mom, I'm sorry. I've let you d

    Over an hour later, a new name was given to Aiden: Austin. When everyone struggled to come up with a nice-sounding name, Mr. Taylor suggested, "Why not call him Aid? It's easy to remember and sounds good." Elliot and Avery were startled, knowing that Aiden would definitely be teased by his classmates when he grew up and went to school. In the end, they settled for Austin instead. After lunch, Hayden drove Shelly's family to the villa in the city center. "When Shelly comes back, I will transfer this villa to her name. This will be your home from now on," Hayden said. Hayden thought it was only fair to give Shelly a villa as compensation for giving birth to their two children. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor did not dare accept it. "Let's talk about it when Shelly comes back. We'll rest for the night and leave," they said. Meanwhile, on the way back to Elliot's mansion, Ivy noticed the serious look on her parents' faces and broke the silence. "Mom, should I go find Shelly?" "Even y

    Ivy looked backward. "Shelly!" Ivy immediately walked over to Shelly. Shelly was surprised to see Ivy. "Ivy, why are you here?" "I'm here to look for you!" Ivy held Shelly's hand. "I begged Courtney to give me your address." Shelly blushed. "Does your family know you're here? Are you here alone?" "Yeah! My parents didn't want me to come alone, but they couldn't stop me." Just then, the receptionist called Ivy's name. Ivy grabbed her room card, while Shelly carried her suitcase for her as the two walked toward the elevator. "Shelly, have you eaten? I'm starving. Let's go eat after I set my suitcase into my room!" Ivy did not have an appetite on the flight and was now starving. "Sure. Let's not eat here in the hotel. I know a restaurant nearby that serves great food." "Okay." After settling Ivy's luggage, the two of them went to the restaurant that Shelly knew. Ivy did not know what to order, so she let Shelly decide. After ordering and handing the menu back to

    Hayden instantly fell silent, and Shelly bowed her head. Ivy immediately said to Hayden, "Since the trouble in your company has been resolved, why don't you come over here and spend a few relaxing days with Shelly? Shelly never really meant to break up with you. She was just informed that your company is in trouble, and she felt guilty for not being able to help. I understand how she feels. She only feels this way because she loves you, or she wouldn't care at all!" "Hand her your phone," he said. Ivy immediately handed her phone to Shelly, who accepted it after a moment's hesitation. Worried that she might get in the way, Ivy said, "I will go to the bathroom." Once Ivy left, Shelly took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Hayden." "Why didn't you tell me the truth? Why did you tell my sister instead when she came to see you?" Hayden was utterly confused. "Because Ivy has experienced hardships before, she might be more empathetic toward me." "But what if my sister didn'

    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
