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

    At the Starry River Villa, Avery was in her bed, feeling listless. That morning, since her abdomen was in so much pain, she took a painkiller.Previously, whenever she took painkillers, the pain would quickly stop. However, that day, her abdomen was extremely painful. After taking painkillers, it only subsided a little, so she did not go to work that day.In such a situation, even being in bed was uncomfortable for her, let alone going to work.After the call with her receptionist, she got down from the bed. She wanted to drink some hot water.She went to the living area and saw Mrs. Cooper hanging up her call frantically."Avery, why are you out of bed?" Mrs. Cooper asked worriedly. "If you're not feeling well, you should rest in bed.""I'm a little thirsty," Avery said, "I'm feeling much better compared to this morning.""I'll bring you a thermos of hot water." Mrs. Cooper went to look for the thermos. "By the way, Master Foster called just now. He said he was coming over."A

    "He knows nothing. We can fight in a softer voice, and it would not even scare him," Avery said quickly but in a hushed tone.Sure enough, Robert still looked adorable. He did not understand what they were talking about.Avery took a teether and put it in Robert's hand. Robert put the teether in his mouth and munched on it."Do you want to carry Robert?" Elliot wanted to cheer her up.Avery replied, "I'm too weak."Elliot said, "Do you want some water?"Avery replied, "I'm not thirsty.""I brought the presents here. Let me show you," Elliot said, about to go to get the presents.Avery saw him pacing back and forth with Robert in his arms. He said, "You're carrying Robert, can't you just sit still? If I want to see the presents, I'll go see them myself."Elliot heard what she said and sat down next to her."Just say that you bought the presents. Don't mention me," Elliot reminded."I will help you pass the presents to the children. Don't you worry about the rest." Avery looke

    Back at the Starry River Villa, Avery was feeling much better compared to during the day.Aside from feeling a little exhausted, her stomach did not hurt anymore.After having a warm and pleasant dinner, she brought the two children to the living room and took out the gifts both she and Elliot had prepared for them.Elliot asked her not to tell them that those gifts were from him, but she could not fulfill that request of his because she did not want to lie to the children."Why are there four gifts, Mommy?" Layla's eyes sparkled as she looked at the four gift boxes.She was very excited to open all the gifts."Mommy bought these two, and Daddy bought the other two." Avery made a point to pay special attention to Hayden's expression when she said that.When Hayden heard the word 'Daddy', his warm expression turned cold in an instant."Let's open the gifts and see what's inside!" Avery picked up the gift that Elliot bought first because she knew that Hayden would leave if he ope

    Everyone was speechless.Just like that, Tiggie had convinced everyone to let him stay.At the old mansion, Elliot caught a whiff of gasoline when he opened the lock of the courtyard door.It took less than three minutes from the time he noticed the gasoline smell for a roaring fire to appear in front of him.Elliot was stunned when he saw the sudden burst of fire.The bodyguard rushed over immediately and pulled Elliot out of the yard. "Mr. Foster! Someone set the place on fire! Please wait outside! I'm going to find the culprit!"Elliot was pushed to the courtyard by the bodyguard, who then immediately ran in to find the arsonist!Elliot looked at the raging fire in front of him and immediately took out his cell phone to call the fire department.It was bold of Henry to set the house on fire simply because he was reluctant to sell it!The previous day, Mrs. Scarlet even mentioned that Henry was unwilling to sell the house. After all, Henry had lived in the old mansion for mo

    Avery stepped to one side. She immediately dialed Elliot's number before giving her emotions a chance to calm down.To her surprise, Elliot answered the phone within seconds."I'm fine." His voice was low and firm.She sighed with relief and asked calmly, "Who set the fire?""My eldest brother's driver. He's been with my eldest brother for many years now."Avery was overwhelmed with sadness as she looked at the old mansion that had just gone through hell in just one night.Why burn a house down just because of the enmity that existed between two humans?"Was it under your elder brother's orders?" She could not help but suspect it was so.She recalled that Henry and Elliot shared very different personalities, and the former even seemed extraordinarily honest and sincere when compared to Elliot.It boggled her why Henry would even do something so outrageous."The driver said that it wasn't the case, but I'm still verifying that." Elliot then asked hoarsely, "Where are you now?

    However, when she recalled Elliot's words, she could feel as if a fire was burning in her heart and dispelling the coldness.At the police station, Henry came as soon as he received a call from the authorities.The first person he saw when he entered was Elliot, and he immediately lowered his head."This is the situation, Mr. Foster. Your driver set fire to the old mansion earlier tonight. Do you know anything about this?" a police officer asked Henry.Henry shook his head. "Not at all. I gave him a severance payment a few days ago, and we haven't been in contact since then." After a pause, he continued, "I need to explain everything to my brother!"The police officer glanced at Elliot and excused himself when he saw that Elliot did not object to Henry's suggestion.Henry walked up to Elliot and explained, "Elliot, please let Joseph go! He's been my driver for more than half his life! He has been with me since he was still young! It's because of his loyalty to me that he did what

    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
