At that moment, a huge hand patted Ben on his shoulders from behind.

Ben pursed his lips. His body stiffened. He slowly turned around.

"Ben, Mr. Foster doesn't like noise. Please be quieter," Elliot's bodyguard gently reminded him.

Ben could see Elliot's darkened expression from nearby. He felt as if someone had shot him in the knee. He wanted to kneel on the ground. He was bad-mouthing Avery and their relationship so loudly just now. Elliot must have heard it! He must have!

"Elliot!" Ben forced a wide and apologetic smile.

"F*ck off!" Elliot spat. The bodyguard immediately got Ben to leave.

Ben got in the car. He sighed.

"Ben." Chad's voice came from his phone. At that moment, Ben realized that he did not hang up the call! When Elliot chased him away just now, Chad heard it all.

Sigh! His ego is now deeply bruised.

"Are you going to laugh at me?" Ben was bitterly upset.

"No, but you should consider my suggestion seriously. Avery is quite nice. You haven't spent much time

    "Avery, what are you doing?" Elliot's voice was hoarse and cold.Avery could hear that Elliot had just gotten up because his tone was rather emotional."I'm going to Bridgedale to tend to something." Avery went past security and headed inside. "It's early. Who told you I'm going abroad?"Elliot did not answer her question, but asked, "It's almost the children's birthday. Do you have to go to Bridgedale now? Is there something urgent?"If it was as usual, Avery might have said that he was being nosy. However, at that moment, she was strangely calm. She did not want to fight with him over such a small thing.Elliot was asking her all these questions out of concern."It's nothing urgent," Avery said calmly, "Elliot, these are my private affairs. I don't need to tell you. I will be back before the children's birthday."Elliot rubbed the middle of his brow. He calmed down. "As long as you're fine.""Hmm, go back to bed. I'm about to board." Avery lowered her gaze. She thought about

    Adrian must be delighted, right? Although his family might not welcome her that happily, they were all polite people. They would most probably not chase her away.When she passed by a florist, Avery stopped her car by the side of the road. She picked a fresh bouquet of carnations. After paying, she entered her car with the bouquet in her hands.She was once again on the road. She needed to go past two traffic lights and go forward for another two kilometers or so before she would reach the Whites.She was humming a song. It was green all the way. The traffic was smooth all the way to the Whites.She parked her car outside the Whites' courtyard.She got out of the car and saw that the gate was locked. She looked at the shut door of the mansion too. It seemed like no one was home.She furrowed her brows and fished her phone out. She found Nathan, Adrian's father's contact, and dialed him.She had thought of the worst-case scenario. Perhaps Nathan had blocked her number. However, t

    Avery returned to her car. She unlocked her phone and dialed Adrian."Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please try again later."She had a strong feeling that it was not Adrian who switched off his phone. Avery's brows throbbed. She dialed Nathan."Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please try again later."Avery's heart sank!What was he trying to do? Before the surgery, she felt that he was still quite normal.At that moment, with what the neighbor told her, she shuddered.Did he move houses to prevent her from looking for them or did he plan it a long time ago, waiting for Adrian's condition to become better then move?However, why did they have to move right after Adrian's condition got better? Where did they move to?Avery was lost. She picked up her bottle of water and drank some water. After calming down, she looked through her contacts and found the contact of Nathan's friend who introduced her to Nathan.This friend was the family

    Should he let Elliot in or not?Mike did not have any grudges against Elliot. If it were not for Avery, Mike would have welcomed him in.Just as Mike was pondering this question, the bodyguard walked over and opened the door for Elliot.Mike was bewildered.If Avery was home. She would surely loudly question the bodyguard, "Whose side are you on?"Mike had been questioned by her more than once."Avery's not home, so you've become the master of the house!" Mike said sarcastically to the bodyguard.The bodyguard looked indignant. "Even if I don’t open the door, you will open it. We'll just say that you opened it later."Mike said, "Not only will you act first and ask for forgiveness later, but you also know how to shift the blame!"The bodyguard ignored him, turned around, and left.Elliot approached Mike and asked, "Are the children home?"Mike raised his eyebrows. "I knew you came here for the children. Don't you find it embarrassing? You're the high and mighty President of

    Avery pushed the door open and instantly saw a heartwarming scene in front of her.Elliot was carrying Robert, standing in the living area. Layla was holding her new toy, and talking to Robert.Mrs. Cooper was standing by the side looking at them, smiling.Avery stood by the entrance. Her feet felt like lead. Elliot, who was holding Robert, looked tender and fatherly. If she told others that he was an aloof and violent man, no one would believe her.Elliot suddenly saw her. His smile instantly plastered onto his face. He never thought that she would return so quickly. No one told her that she would return that day.If Mike knew that she returned today, he would not have abandoned the children to go for a play.Mrs. Cooper was stunned when she saw her. It was almost a reflex. She immediately took Robert from Elliot."Mommy!" A loud sound came from behind Avery. It was Hayden.The bodyguard parked the car, Hayden immediately pushed the car door open and got out of the car. He ran

    Elliot pursed his lips tightly. Avery's voice made him slowly come to his senses. He let his hand go and Hayden immediately ran upstairs!Avery did not let go of Elliot's arm. "Elliot, what were you doing! You said you wouldn't force the children! What were you doing there then?"Elliot swallowed his saliva. His voice was hoarse. He enunciated, "I-I only wanted to apologize to him.""The way you're doing it is not right. He is a child, not an adult. You were too forceful." Avery pulled him along and pressed him down on the sofa."Elliot, you were badly affected by your family. The trauma is still there now. Why did you think Hayden would reconcile with you so quickly?"Elliot lifted his head and looked at her closely."I'm not blaming you." Avery inhaled rather helplessly. "Don't be so impulsive in the future. You made Robert cry. Layla was surely frightened too." "I'm sorry." Elliot looked in the direction of the children, self-reproaching. Mrs. Cooper was carrying Robert.

    At Elliot's house. He returned home and was about to head upstairs when Mrs. Scarlet called out after him."Master Elliot, there is something I wonder if you've heard about?"Elliot turned around and looked at Mrs. Scarlet. "What is it?""It's about the old mansion." Mrs. Scarlet had a heavy expression. "Your brother is planning to sell it."Elliot's gaze darkened a little. "Who did you hear it from?""My nephew is into real estate. He called and told me." Mrs. Scarlet's eyes reddened and glistened with tears. "Master Foster, your brother surely must have run out of money, which is why he is selling the mansion. Sigh! How could he bear to do it!""Are you trying to ask me to give him money?" Elliot put both hands in his pocket. He looked straight at Mrs. Scarlet.She shook her head furiously, "Of course you can't give them money! They are ungrateful people. Madam Rosalie treated them so well, yet they killed her! I thought that you might want to buy the old mansion. Even if you

    Avery was confused. "Didn't you say you like Hayden the most?""Yes! I do like Hayden the best, but I only want to play for Robert, because Robert wouldn't know if I played it wrongly," Layla explained.Avery smiled. "Hayden doesn't know if you played it wrongly or not too! He doesn't know how to play the piano."Layla was stunned. "Oh, you're right! I thought that Hayden was a superhero. He knows how to do everything! Hehe!"Then, she happily pulled Hayden upstairs.Avery smiled helplessly."Avery, didn't you say you were dealing with the time difference? Go shower and get some rest," Mrs. Cooper said."Hmm." Avery returned to her bedroom and went to her closet to take her pajamas.Her abdomen was in sudden throbbing pain. She immediately held onto the closet door for support and slowly bent her back.She gasped for air and her face instantly turned pale!Although she was in a lot of pain, she was not afraid. That was because the pain was familiar to her.After giving bir

    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
