"Okay… Yes, Sir! Let's go play with Shea!" Layla dragged Hayden and headed in Shea's direction. "She said she'll take us out to play! She's getting the bodyguard to drive us!"At five in the afternoon, Elliot helped Avery down the stairs.Everyone watched the couple walk down. They looked warm and harmonious. All kinds of thoughts began to fill the minds of the watchers. An hour was the average time for an afternoon nap. Two hours were normally considered rather long for a nap. However, Elliot and Avery had spent the entire afternoon resting upstairs.How was it possible for them to nap for that long?They were all adults, so everyone had an idea of what had happened without having to ask."Weren't you guys playing poker?" Avery blushed as realized that everyone was looking at them, and she tried to change the subject. "We stopped playing at four in the afternoon and started helping Chad with dinner! Were you two really sleeping so soundly upstairs that you couldn't hear any

After dinner, Layla held Avery's hand. She looked exhausted, "Mommy, I want to go to bed… Give me a bath…"The nanny immediately rushed over to help.Layla threw a tantrum because she was tired."I want Mommy to give me a bath!" she sobbed.Tammy walked over with a smile and said, "Layla, your Mommy's belly is going to grow even bigger soon. She won't be able to give you a bath by then!"Layla froze for a moment, then she stroked Avery's flat belly."Your Mommy's belly is going to grow this big," Tammy said as she gestured at Avery's abdomen.Layla's jaw dropped in shock as disbelief washed over her little face.Tammy carried Layla upstairs and said to Avery, "Go take a break!"Avery was a little worried and wanted to go up with them.Elliot grabbed her arm and said, "Come outside with me.""What is it?" Avery said as she walked ahead of him. "Shea should be tired too. You should head home.""The bodyguard will take her home." Elliot held her hand and led her outside. "Let'

Avery: [Maybe he figured I need to eat more because I'm eating for two now.]Tammy: [Hahaha! What did he buy for you? Send me photos!]Avery took a photo of that night's haul and sent it to Tammy.Tammy looked at the photo, then immediately called Avery."Why did he buy jewelry again? Haha! Do men like giving the women they love jewelry?" she laughed.Avery placed her head in her hands, "He had a motive."Tammy froze, then asked, "What motive?""It's because of an event next Monday."Avery truly experienced how petty a man could be that night.She had declined his offer to buy her clothes and jewelry, but Elliot had insisted on buying her both. When she asked for his reason, he gladly gave it.When Avery had attended the meet-and-greet at the hotel with Eric Santos, they had both worn cream sweaters and were mistaken as lovers. She had worn the necklace that Eric had given her and that too had caused quite a bit of controversy. It was all in the past, but Elliot had never

"Why aren't you saying anything, Avery?" Tammy asked. "Do you think there's a possibility that Cole was the father of the child Zoe was pregnant with? After all, the chances of getting knocked up after sleeping together once are really low! Besides, if Zoe would date a major sc*mbag like Cole, it's enough to prove that they're the same type of people!"Avery felt an ache in her heart, then croaked, "I'm not sure if they really are dating or not… I'm a little tired now, Tammy…""Okay. Hurry up and get some rest, then," Tammy said.Avery hung up and stared out into the night. Tears fell silently down her face.She had thought that Elliot and Zoe were just like other couples while they were together.He had thought that the child Zoe was carrying was the result of their many nights of loving passion."What a joke!"she thought. All the loathing she had felt for Elliot was because of his relationship with Zoe. She had despised and resented him to the point that she had wanted

Elliot, Chad, and Ben had not left since their arrival that morning.They had spent their time touring Tate Industries.At least, that was their excuse. Their true motive was to stay for lunch."Wanda Tate is a master of marketing," Ben said with his phone in his hand. "She hit a brick wall running into us though.""Even so, their sales aren't bad," Chad said. "There is still huge potential in the lower-income market.""They're selling their products for cheap, after all! They are sacrificing profit for reputation… Their original plan was to quickly take over the market and run Tate Industries out of business, and when they have a monopoly of the market they raise their prices," Ben said. "Now, they've realized that Tate Industries isn't as easy to take down as they'd thought. Which is why they're coming up with other ideas.""Are they cutting down costs? Or are they planning on conquering the lower and middle-income markets as they continue to make big promises to their investor

Avery parked the car at the villa's entrance.The delivery man was waiting for her at the front gate.After she got out of the car and signed for the package, her phone, which was in her bag, began to ring.She held the package in one hand while she pulled out the phone with her other.She answered the call after opening the front gate."Where are you?"Elliot's deep, low voice came through the phone."At home," Avery answered."Are you not feeling well?" Elliot asked with a hint of worry in his voice."I'm fine. I came home to collect a package."Avery walked past the front yard and stopped when she reached the front door. She opened the door.Once she was in the house, she placed the package on top of the shoe rack."What's up?" she asked as she changed into her house slippers and walked over to the couch."Zoe Sanford is, in fact, dating Cole."Elliot's bodyguard had dragged Cole to him. Cole had confessed to everything, so Elliot called Avery."How did you find out?"

Chad was sitting in Ben's office at the Sterling Group building. He was sipping on a cup of tea. "It's been a while since I've been Mr. Foster this happy!" Chad chuckled. "I was standing by his office door— on purpose when I saw him bring in a huge bag of fruits and snacks. Can Avery eat all of that? Hahaha!""Did Avery finally come around? Women are so difficult to figure out!" Ben said with furrowed brows."Could she be coming because Zoe and Cole got together?" mused Chad. "I can't think of anything else that might make her come here.""Let's hope that's the case." Ben raised his own cup of tea and clinked cups with Chad.Avery pulled up in front of the Sterling Group building half an hour later.After his little tea session with Ben, Chad had been waiting at the building's entrance.When he saw Avery's Land Rover, he immediately ran up to it.Avery rolled down her window when she saw Chad approaching, then said, "Chad, the parking lot is full. I'll go find somewhere to par

Half an hour later, the vice president of Sterling Group burst into Ben's office."I've looked everywhere for you, Chad. I knew you'd be here!"The vice president slumped down next to Chad.Noticing the vice president dripping in sweat, Chad asked, " What happened? You're making me think the company's in some kind of trouble."The vice president poured himself a glass of water, then said, "Did the two of you know that Avery Tate was here? Why didn't you tell me?" He drank the entire glass of water in one gulp. "I went into Mr. Foster's office just now— Aaah! Just the thought of it makes me want to dig a hole and bury myself! What the hell did I just see? I think I'm about to get fired!" Ben and Chad were shocked."Don't tell me they were…" Ben spoke but he did not complete his sentence. The vice president nodded furiously and said, "That was not the worst thing. The worst thing was that I was with a team of people, and all of them saw it too! … Honestly, I might as well pack 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
