Avery's head started to hurt. "If you didn't have it in the kitchen, you could have just told me that. Why did you have to go to him about it?"

"I'm so sorry! I thought that you were very close to Mr. Foster as you came here with him before. Your friend seemed upset, so I..." The manager said.

Avery interrupted him. "How much is the dish?"

"It's been paid for by Mr. Foster," the manager said with a smile, "You can transfer the money back to him if you don't want to accept it. The price of this dish is 58888 dollars."

"???" Avery had known that this restaurant was famous for the red lobster and that it was more expensive compared to other restaurants, but she had not expected this to cost so much.

Seeing that she was stunned, the manager immediately explained, "This red lobster is different from the rest. It's top tier and we haven't caught a red lobster with such high quality for a really long time now."

Avery took a deep breath and waved at him. "I get it."

    "When I say take care of him, I don't mean to let him do whatever he wants; I mean to increase the level of difficulty in his studies so that he can learn more... He is my son, so he should be just like me, which means the harder it gets, the faster he grows.""Alright. We will keep you posted on matters regarding Hayden's study from now on.""Yeah. The tutor I hired will be here tonight. I will provide you with his contact and he will take the elite class to participate in the International Hacking and Programming Contest," Elliot said.He had laid out the path for Hayden to become the best on the international scale. He had no expectation as to how much his son would earn, but he believed that to be Hayden's target as well; as a father, he had to work hard to help him achieve it."You are definitely a good father, Mr. Foster. It's a shame that Hayden is too young to appreciate what you've done for him," the man said, "He will understand someday when he grows up.""I hope so!" El

    Tammy was just mocking the fact that Elliot had to pay with his card. She had not expected that it wasn't his bill he was paying for, but theirs. Though he didn't speak to them at all, he had paid their bills.Avery hurried to Tammy and said, "I'm going to go out for a bit. Wait here for me."Before Tammy could react, Avery was already striding out.As she had expected, Elliot was waiting outside the restaurant. It seemed as though he was certain that she would come out to find him, and the feeling of being manipulated brought a frown to her face.Their eyes met and he instantly faced her.Emotions boiled within her.'Did he think that sending me my daughter's photos and paying my bills are going to erase everything that had happened?' She thought.She stood by the restaurant's door and unlocked her phone, before locating his account number and making a transaction.Once she had completed transferring all the money for the restaurant's bill, she headed back inside without looki

    He let out a breath of relief when he heard her response. He didn't want anything; he just wanted her to speak to him."You didn't reply to my messages." He felt so clumsy when he was standing before her."Then don't send me messages." She gave him a cold look and got into the car.The red BNW's engine rumbled and turned swiftly, before racing off into the distance.Once they were on the highway, Tammy asked, "Avery, have you fallen for him again? You look just like me when I couldn't sleep for nights in a row."Avery lowered her head as she was not in the mood for a discussion."I checked Elliot out carefully just now and realized that he sure maintains himself well! He looks so handsome for his age that he doesn't even look any different from the first time I saw him..."Avery interrupted her and said, "Tammy, how old do you think he is?""Forty?""Probably not that old." Avery scowled. "Definitely not forty. I should know if he is.""Why? Is there supposed to be a grand ce

    Her lashes trembled as she was surprised by how obedient Elliot was.He was never a man who would listen to her under all circumstances back when they were deeply in love with one another.Elliot was a man of principle and he would never let her pay or accept her money for whatever they had spent outside, so she didn't think that he would accept her money despite his principle.But he did, which meant that he was willing to forego his principles for her sake. If he continued to be this obedient, it would be extremely hard for her to not fall for him...."Elliot, stop looking at your phone already! Avery isn't replying, is she?" Ben tapped Elliot on the shoulder and passed him a glass of wine inside the VIP room."She did." Elliot set his phone down."Did she really? Call her out, then. If you manage to get her here, I will believe that she's replied." Ben stared at Elliot's phone."She has work tomorrow.""Don't we all?" Ben exposed his lie boldly and said, "If she really did

    Avery was overjoyed at the compliments she received. Upon arriving at her office, she spotted a bouquet of red roses on her table and the smile on her face instantly froze.It was not an ordinary bouquet; it contained at least ninety-nine roses and had taken up the space of over half of her desk.Only a man would send a woman ninety-nine roses when he was trying to pursue her.She placed her purse on the table and ran her fingers through the petals to find a hand-written note, which said: 'you are forever my goddess'.Elliot's face instantly appeared in her mind when she saw the note.Who else would send her such an enormous bouquet along with such a cheesy note? She could tolerate him fawning over her in private, but doing so in her office would affect her mood to work.In Sterling Group, it was time for the weekly meeting on Monday.The managers entered the meeting room once Elliot arrived into the office.After having too much to drink the night before, ELliot woke up with a

    Elliot's heart sank as he stared at his phone after Avery hung up. It wasn't that he was upset over being scolded by Avery, but the fact that someone had sent her roses.If the bouquet was from Mike or Eric, they would have signed the card; so who was it? Who was trying to pursue Avery in secret?"The rest of you go on!" Elliot said, before storming out of the meeting room.He told the managers to carry on and leave, when the scheduled meetings on Monday were meant for the others to report to him; who else were they supposed to report to with Elliot gone?Elliot went straight into his office and closed the door behind him after exiting the meeting room.His secretary stood outside the door, red-eyed and terrified. It was the first time she had made such a horrible mistake for the years she had worked there. Though the coffee was not boiling hot, it had spilled all over her boss's phone, hand and clothes. Even if Elliot did not blame her for what happened yet, she felt like he woul

    Chad hung up and handed the phone back to Elliot." Avery's Vice-president got her the flowers."Elliot instantly calmed down."Go back and take a shower, Mr. Foster." Chad stared at the coffee stain on Elliot's clothes. "Your secretary wanted to apologize to you, but I sent her back to work seeing how pale she looked."Elliot didn't blame his secretary for what happened. He grabbed onto his phone and left the office.Meanwhile, in Tate Industries.When Avery found out that it was the vice-president who sent her the flowers, she shoved the card to his face and said, "if you are representing all employees when you got me the flowers, you should have written you are forever our goddess, not you are forever my goddess. Did you even pass your English test back in school?"Shaun lowered his head and apologized. "I just didn't see that big a difference between those two ways of saying it, President Tate. Everyone sees you as their goddess...""You are still arguing? Why didn't you tell

    "No way! I abandoned him!" Hayden glared at Daniel, before grabbing his plate to leave because he didn't want to have lunch with him any longer.Daniel immediately grabbed onto Hayden's jacket. "I'm sorry, Hayden. I- There's a little girl in my neighborhood and her father abandoned her, so now she stays with her mother."One could tell if someone had good or bad intentions from expressions alone; Daniel was insensitive, but not a bad person, so Hayden sat back down."I've made you mad again, Hayden." Daniel took the drumstick on his plate and placed it onto Hayden's. "I didn't do that on purpose. My dad is really nice to me, so I just wanted you to have a dad who takes care of you as well.""I don't need it!" Hayden stared at the chicken drumstick coldly."Why don't you need your dad? Isn't it a good thing to have one more person to look after you?" Daniel looked at him in confusion."I don't need your drumstick!" Hayden held onto his plate and moved it away. "It's insanitary!"

    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
