"I think your taste is somewhat weird. There are hits and misses."Aurum was puzzled.Joshua continued, "Natalie is really not good at all. She schemes, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back. I saw it during the time I lived at your house.""Your good taste, however, led you to pursue my fairy Ivy. Aurum, you must treat her well, you can't let an angel suffer!"Then, he quietly approached Aurum and said in a low voice, "You have a good eye for liking Mommy too."After all, Shawn was still around, so he could not let him overhear.After quickly finishing, Joshua pretended to cough twice. "No problem, no problem. This means that the best things come last. What came before was all about enduring trials of love, now is the time to reap true love!" he reasoned, sounding very logical."Yes, being able to have her is my fortune." Aurum nodded."You're more than fortunate, she's practically a fairy who descended from heaven to be by your side!" Joshua said, "When

"Yes, your child. Anyway, we have a boy and a girl in our family. No matter what gender your child is, there's a chance to become in-laws!" Gale said, winking.Ivy and Aurum smiled. He squeezed Ivy's hand, his thumb gently stroking the back of it. He seemed very much in love with her. However, the bitter reality of it all was known to Shawn, understood by Aurum, and deeply felt by Ivy. Only Gale was blissfully unaware.Aurum's home was especially lively today. The laughter and chatter never stopped. With Joshua, the cheerful one, brightening the atmosphere, and the presence of the obedient and sweet Nicole, time flew past quickly.Aurum and Ivy had also prepared gifts for the two children."Don't buy so many things next time. We have everything at home; there's no need to spend so much," Gale said. Ivy replied, "That's not possible. Today is my first time meeting the children, so I definitely have to give them gifts. Besides..." She looked at Aurum. "We are gifting them together.

However, Shawn had always been impossible to understand. Ivy was also very skilled at disguising her true feelings. No matter, the main event was yet to come. People could act, but evidence could not lie.After getting into the car, Shawn glanced in the rearview mirror. From this angle, he could see Ivy clearly. She was looking in this direction, her eyes somewhat fixed, lost in thought.Shawn's keen sense of perception made him aware that Aurum could not have arranged this dinner just for the sake of it. There had to be another purpose. He hoped Ivy would be clever enough to protect herself, respond appropriately, and safeguard herself from Aurum as much as possible. Even if she had to abandon evidence, she must prioritize her safety.As the vehicle drove away, Aurum's home gradually returned to its quiet state. After the bustle, it felt empty again."I envy Gale even more now. Just seeing her marriage, I already thought she was incredibly lucky. Seeing her children, I feel like h

The man in black nodded, glanced at Ivy with a flash of admiration and then left. Ivy felt uneasy under his gaze. Aurum did not seem to care at all; he was focused on the folder in his hands."What is this? Someone drove all the way here to hand it to you personally this late at night," Ivy asked."This is something I've been waiting for all day. It arrived just at the right time."Ivy could not tell what was inside. It seemed like just a few thin sheets of paper."Then open it and deal with your matters. I won't disturb you. Even though I'm your girlfriend, you deserve your privacy," Ivy said.She hurriedly said this and still wanted to leave. Aurum grabbed her elbow firmly. "No, this document is for you. Ivy, you need to stay and open it with me."Ivy sensed something was off, but she could not figure out what."For me?""Yes, let's go inside first."Aurum almost forcefully dragged her into the villa, through the living room, upstairs, and finally to the study. His grip was
