"Should I call you by your name, then? Lucas?"

Lucas instantly felt chills run down his spine. "I guess you should stick with Mr. Woods."

Ivy smiled. "I don't have your phone number, so why don't we exchange numbers? That way, I inform you when the food is ready."

"Do you have to do this?"

"I have nothing else to do, and I'm bored."

"You can go home," he said.

"I will, in a few days. You don't have to remind me. I will definitely go home."

"What exactly do you take my place for? A cafe where you can just come and go as you please? I hate people like you who don't understand boundaries."

"You said that the last time as well, but you still gave me the keys to your apartment anyway," she said.

Lucas parked his car in the parking lot, and both of them got out.

"What do you want to eat for lunch, Mr. Woods? I'll prepare it and take it to your company!" Ivy walked over to Lucas and said, "I washed the sofa covers for you, so I need to check if they've dried. If they have,

    While Ivy was cooking lunch, she received a video call from her brother, Hayden. Unable to decline her brother's call, Ivy turned off the stove and went to the balcony to take the video call. Holding her phone, she adjusted the lighting and smiled sweetly at the camera. "Hey, how's the wedding preparation going with Shelly?" Hayden asked with a frown, "Where are you?" "At Lucas' place," Ivy replied. "Why are you at his place? Is he there? Let me see him," Hayden said. "He's not here! He went to work," Ivy replied. "If he's not there, then what are you doing at his place?" Hayden asked worriedly. "I... I wanted to cook, so I came to his place to use his kitchen," Ivy said. "Do you even know how to cook?" he asked. "Uh-huh, it doesn't taste that good though." Ivy chuckled. "You're cooking for him, aren't you?" Hayden guessed. "Well, I have some free time, and I was bored, so I thought I'd practice my cooking skills. When I get back home, I'll cook for you guys," Ivy

    "Don't joke around! She's leaving soon," Lucas said. Caspian chuckled. "Is she returning to her country?" "Yeah," Lucas confirmed. Caspian teased, "So, she just came here to have fun! Why did she decide to toy with you, though? Hahaha!" "I still haven't figured that out," Lucas said. "Is she hiding something?" Caspian asked. Lucas sighed. "You've met her, too. She answers all of my questions, but her answers always leave me confused. It's like we come from different worlds." For instance, she told him that she knew the Woods' servants, but Lucas, despite having lived with the Woods, was never particularly close to them, so he could not determine if Ivy was telling the truth. "I don't think Ivy is lying. It might be you who is the problem. You've never truly cared about anything or anyone," said Caspian. "It's a pity, though, that such a beautiful lady is leaving. And I thought she must have felt something for you. Looks like she is just here to have fun."Lucas did not

    "Of course, there's a point. You can't give me the bracelet, because you've never had it to begin with. Why else would you keep it from Irene three years ago?" Ivy said. "Just why are you so obsessed over this?" "You didn't pay off her debt. You lied to her!" Ivy pointed out. Sam sneered. "That's none of your business. So what if I lied to her? She's dead!" "You are a terrible human being! I never want to see you again!" Ivy said and turned to leave. She never expected Sam to admit to lying to Irene, and Sam, who realized that something was off, caught up to her and grabbed her arm. "Who exactly are you? I've never heard of you from Irene. Are you some kind of a scammer?" She shook his hand off. "You are the scammer here! What exactly did I scam you of? You had lied to Irene!" Sam studied her face. "Y- You... Could you actually be Irene?!" "It's none of your business!" she said, throwing his words back at him. ... After sending the message to Ivy, Lucas returned

    Ivy returned to Lucas's apartment and found the door open. Entering the apartment, she saw Lucas sitting in the dining room, playing a game. The sight of him sitting there reminded her of how things used to be three years ago. At that time, she was still Lucas' servant, and they would see each other every day. Although they were not particularly close, they could share anything with each other. Rather than disturbing Lucas, Ivy quietly went to his room, changed the bedding for him, and swiftly tidied up the room. By the time she was done, Ivy's stomach was growling with hunger, and she wondered if Lucas had left any food from lunch for her. Approaching Lucas, she noticed there was still plenty of food on the table. It looked like Lucas had hardly touched the food. Surprised, Ivy asked, "Mr. Woods, why haven't you eaten? Are you upset that I went into your room, so you don't want to eat the food I cooked?" Lucas, still focused on his game, did not bother to look up. "You

    Ivy took a deep breath. "Irene told me." "What else did she tell you?" Lucas asked. Ivy's heart raced. "Why do you want to know? Did you care for her, Mr. Woods?" Lucas flushed, and he instantly spoke out of pride, "Forget it! I'm going to sleep." She nodded. "Go ahead! Should I wake you up later?" "No." Once Lucas returned to the bedroom, Ivy started tidying the dining table and went to the balcony to check the couch cover. Noticing that it was completely dry, she took it inside and placed the cover back onto the couch. She sat on the couch and got out her phone. She had boldly decided that she would not return home for the time being. Of course, she would definitely go back home when her older brother got married, but after attending the wedding, she would return to Taronia. She liked Lucas, and she was very sure of her feelings.Lucas had gotten her grandmother's bracelet, but he hadn't told her about it. When she thought about it, she guessed that he had not sai

    Ivy understood how her mother felt. "Oh. You will tell me about that ahead of time, right?" "Of course. Be safe over there," Avery said. "I will. Don't worry, Mom!" Ivy said. "Alright." After the call, Avery stepped out of the bathroom. It was late at night in Aryadelle, and Avery had stepped into the bathroom to take Ivy's call. She walked over to Elliot, who was asleep, and tapped him on the shoulder, worriedly. "Honey, wake up," Avery switched on the bedside lamp, "Ivy just called, and she told me that she will be staying there for a while." Elliot immediately opened his eyes and sat up. "Ivy won't come back?" "No... She won't come back, for now. She said she'll return when Hayden gets married. She realized that she has feelings for that Lucas guy," Avery explained. Elliot furrowed his brows. "Why did she suddenly change her mind? Did that guy do something to our daughter?" "Don't jump to conclusions! It's definitely not what you're thinking. Ivy said she foun

    "What exactly made you change your mind?" Lucas asked. "I told you! I just graduated, and there's nothing urgent waiting for me back home," said Ivy. "Aryadelle and Taronia are so far apart. Are you sure your parents won't mind you staying and working here?" "I've already talked to them. They're not very happy about it, but they won't stop me either," Ivy said. "You're disregarding their feelings and choosing to stay here... You don't strike me as the rebellious type," Lucas remarked. Suppressing a smile, Ivy said, "You guessed right. I've never argued with my parents. Besides, I won't be staying here forever, so they won't be too upset about me staying for now." Even someone as reserved as Lucas could tell why Ivy insisted on staying in Taronia. "You came here specifically for me," Lucas stated with conviction. "I didn't want you working at the company, and you decided that you'd do housework and cook for me. You said you'd go back to Aryadelle, but now you've changed y

    Ivy blushed. "No, that won't happen. If he truly falls in love with me, I will take him with me." Caspian's face twisted. "Hey! If that's the case, I need to watch out for you! I never thought you had such ambitious plans to lure away our company's boss!" "You should have more confidence in him. Do you think he's the type to be swayed by love?" Taking a deep breath, Caspian said, "Fine! He's not the type. He is not someone who easily falls in love, so good luck! If you can get him to go with you, I'll accept defeat! You both can take me along!" Ivy could not help but chuckle, "Caspian, your family is wealthy, so why are you following Lucas?" "Who told you we're wealthy?" Caspian asked. "You did! You said you invested in this company." "That doesn't mean I'm rich! I got the money upon my father's death." Ivy stared at him in shock. "After my father died, my mother passed away too. I was alone and bored, so I joined forces with Lucas," said Caspian. "I'm sorry to hea

    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
