He walked to the living room and stood still, waiting for Avery to follow him."What else do you want to talk about?" She walked toward the stairs, longing to go upstairs and rest."Are you going to sleep?" He studied her slim frame and lowered his defenses."Yeah. We can talk first, though, if that's what you want."Avery remained standing by the stairs. She did not want to get close to him, for every time she caught a whiff of his scent, her heart would clench with pain. It was a scent that she was so familiar with, yet destiny had made it so that their hearts were miles apart."Go to sleep!" He sat down on the couch. "I will leave in a while.""Oh…" She looked away from him and went upstairs.Elliot stood up from the couch as soon as Avery was upstairs. He had finally realized how self-centered and selfish he had been all this while. He had never truly understood what she wanted. He had thought that he had given her everything he could, and he blamed her for not accepting him

She immediately tensed. Since she had her back to him, she could not see his face, and she had no idea as to what he was trying to do. She found herself at a crossroad. 'What should I do if he tries something?' she thought to herself.To her surprise, he did not move after lying down.She could feel his breath drift across her skin, and she could hear his strong steady heartbeat. His breathing slowed, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, the way he would when they had still been in love all those years ago.She opened her eyes as her mind drifted back to the past. Tears began to gather in her eyes as the men behind her slept. She lifted his arm off of her and sat up. Wiping her tears away, she studied Elliot as he slept. Her gaze traveled to his chest, and she suddenly felt the urge to see the wound on his chest. She began unbuttoning his shirt.As soon as she unbuttoned the first button, he scowled and instinctively shoved her hands away.She looked at him and thought

"Why are you mentioning this now?" Elliot did not want to fight. Now, there was something they shared, their child."Why not? Just because we don't talk about it, doesn't mean it's in the past!" Avery knew it was bad to be hung up on the past, but she also knew that there were things that had to be clarified, or they would all come back to hurt them.Elliot pulled her into his arms and said in a gentle voice, "Weren't you going to sleep? Did I wake you?"Her face was pressed into his chest, and she felt the heat of his skin. She panicked and shoved him away before she lay down with her back facing him. Elliot stared at her slim frame as his heart ached. Avery had not told him what his mother had said to her before she died, and naturally, he did not have the courage to ask about it.If she was this frustrated when he did not ask about it, she would only be angrier if he confronted her about it. He pulled up the blanket and covered her with it, before lying down next to her once

Avery looked up at Mike, then said, "Can't you just let me eat in peace? We didn't talk about any of that!""What did you talk about all afternoon then?" Mike said with a look of astonishment. "Why was he upstairs? Did he sleep in your room? Well?""Do I ever freak out when you bring Chad home to stay the night?""Chad's my boyfriend. Is Elliot Foster your boyfriend?" Mike asked. "How can your ex-husband possibly be compared to my boyfriend? Or are you planning on making things official with him?"Avery was taken aback."You're so annoying," she said with furrowed brows."Fine, I won't speak anymore. Go on and eat," Mike said as he felt bad seeing Avery's skinny figure.Avery picked up her spoon and took a sip of her soup.It was still warm.The children were staring at her with unblinking eyes.Avery's cheeks flushed as she said, "Why are you staring at me like that?""Mommy, will you still love Hayden and me once the baby's born?" Layla asked."Of course!" Avery exclaimed

Shea nodded and said, "I'll keep it in my room. I won't lose it.""Good. Have you had dinner yet?" Elliot asked."I did! I ate at the hotel with Hayden.""You seem to like Hayden a lot," Elliot said as he recalled the way she had switched seats with Mike that afternoon.In the past, she had never left his side while they were out. Today, however, she had actually preferred sitting next to Hayden."I like Hayden and Layla," Shea said.She had a strong feeling that she was not only Hayden's aunt but Layla's as well.She felt this way because she recognized that the bond Hayden and Layla shared to be the same as the one she and Elliot shared. Elliot could not help but recall the way he had almost strangled Hayden to death at the mansion in the forest.When they met that afternoon, Hayden did not once look at him.It was as if he was avoiding him on purpose.Elliot was sure that the boy was traumatized.He felt guilty as he recalled what had happened.He had never felt guil

Avery almost passed out when she saw the trending topic online that morning.She was not distraught because the author had called her private life a mess, but she was distraught because the reprobate holder of the account had posted photos of her two children!The photo had been taken by a member of the paparazzi, and it did not show the children's faces only their backs, but it was all the same!One could clearly see the children's features in the photos.The post even went as far as to reveal the name of their preschool.Avery dragged her weak body out of the bedroom.She knocked on Mike's door, then walked right into his room."Wake up, Mike!" she shouted as she yanked the covers off.It was a good thing Mike was wearing his underwear.Otherwise, Avery would have immediately regretted her recklessness."What's wrong?" Mike said as he looked at Avery with groggy eyes. "Avery… Is the sun even up yet?""It is! The kids are going to wake up soon."Avery showed Mike the artic

Elliot had not been able to get a wink of sleep, and he was currently catching up on his sleep. When his phone rang, he got up to answer the call."Sir, Mike said he wanted to hire a nanny to help Avery out. He accepted my offer to help him look for one."Chad had received new orders from Elliot last night, telling him to keep an eye on Avery's movements through Mike.Chad thought it was nice of his boss to do that.Elliot was clearly doing this because he wanted to be a responsible father, because of that, Chad had agreed to carry out his orders without hesitation. "I see. I'll arrange something," Elliot said hoarsely."Also, Avery went viral today. Someone got an entertainment news company to post photos of Hayden and Layla that had been taken by the paparazzi. The article went so far as to reveal that Avery was a single mother and that her personal life was a mess…" said Chad, finishing his report. Elliot's eyes furrowed as he said, "Look into it immediately and find out

Shea was worried they did not understand her and added, "My brother bought this gift for Avery."Avery closed the box, looked at Elliot, and asked, "What's the meaning of this?"The spark of war was instantly ignited.Mike immediately dragged Shea and the children out of the house.It would be bad for the children's mental well-being to watch their parents fight.Once Shea was out of the house, she turned to Layla and Hayden and explained, "My brother may have bought Avery's gift, but I was the one who got you your presents. It was me! You have to accept them!""Sure," Layla said and began to open her gift.On the other hand, Hayden had his eyes pinned in the direction of the living room."Relax, Big H! Your mom's pregnant with that dirtbag's baby, so there's no way he'd pick on her!" Mike said as he tried to comfort the boy. "Let's go somewhere to play!""I'm not going out," Hayden responded.He was still worried about his mother.Shea took Hayden's hand, then said, "Let's

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
