"Chad is designing it himself!" Mike added.Ivy had not expected them to give her a house as a gift and was stunned."Just accept it, Ivy! Once the construction is done, we can all go and have a look at it!" Layla accepted the paperwork in Ivy's place."Thank you, Uncle Mike. Thank you, Uncle Chad," Ivy said gratefully with a blush."We are a family. There's no need to thank us!" Mike patted her on the head. "They must have woken you up before you had the time to do your makeup, huh? Hahaha! Come, let's have our breakfast! I'm starving."The group made their way to the dining room. The house was well stoked and the servants had prepared a feast while they had been talking. "Ivy, I heard that you and Rose are very close. Ben sent you a diamond, right? Just get Rose to design something for you," Lilith whispered to Ivy. "The tiara I gave you was the prize of one of the model contests I participated in. I've treasured it for years, and now I'm giving it to you in hopes that you w

Elliot shook his head. "I don't want to pressure her into anything. It took so much work to finally find her. I want her to live without a care in the world." He was concerned that she might run away if placed too much pressure on her.Ivy was already eighteen years old and could survive on her own. If someone upset her, she could easily drop everything and leave. "Haha! You were never this careful with any of your other kids," Mike laughed. "Probably not even to your wife."Had Elliot acted so gingerly around Avery, they would not have argued so frequently.Seeing how Elliot was rendered speechless, Avery stepped in, "Our daughter has just come home, so it's only normal that we are walking on eggshells. Stop trying to divide Elliot and me. We are doing perfectly fine!"Mike snorted. "You are an old married couple, so why should I waste my time trying to cause strife between the two of you? You are too old to bring up divorce whenever you please. It's not like you are capable of

"Do you think you can't get a boyfriend because you are living with us?" Avery asked."Mom, can you not say that out loud? I will only stay at my apartment on the weekdays, alright? If you aren't going to agree to this, I'm going to enlist Ivy's help to convince you otherwise.""Do you really think that I would be this stubborn? If you insist on moving out, I won't stop you. I'm just worried about you... Why don't you bring a servant along? You also need a bodyguard...""Don't... If I bring anyone with me, Dad is definitely going to sneak around behind my back, asking about my personal life. I bought some kitchen utensils, and I can cook. If I don't feel like cooking, I can order food.""What about your safety?" Avery voiced her concern."The bodyguard can come to pick me up every day, alright?""Okay. Why didn't you tell me before buying the apartment? You've been planning this all along, haven't you?" Avery started feeling slightly upset. "You even went as far as to do it befor

"Darling, we don't hate Eric. Your dad and I saw him not long ago! People just drift apart from time to time. It's normal so don't read too much into it." Avery tapped Layla on the shoulder. "We haven't been as close as we were before you asked him out.""I thought that was because he was busy. He has retired and isn't as busy..." Layla did not wish for Eric to drift apart from her family since he occupied a major part of her childhood."He hasn't reached out to us! Layla, you have to understand that maybe he hasn't contacted us because he needs some time alone. We will never hate him, and if he ever needs help, we won't hesitate to help. Likewise, I'm sure he will do the same for us when we need help as well. But there's no point in contacting him when there's nothing important to say."Layla understood what Avery was saying, but she still felt upset, likely because Eric was one of the very people that she truly cared about.After lunch, Layla pulled Elliot outside. It was the hot

"I'm good at taking photos, too!" Mike protested."Forget it! Wesley is a professional when it comes to taking photos!" Chad felt that the task was best entrusted to the person who did it best.Wesley waved his hand in dismissal. "I'm an amateur as well, so Mike should do it! I've seen your photos when you travel, and they all turned out great!""See? Wesley said I'm good at it!" Mike said smugly.Chad shot him a glare. "I might as well just take it myself!""Uncles, just stop fighting! Let me do it!" Tiffany came over and snatched the camera from Chad. "If you are all amateurs, there's no point in arguing! I'm the head of the photography club at my school!" she said before pointing the camera at the Foster family and snapping the photo.Once it was done, the others hurried over to see it."Not bad, Tiffany! You did great!" Mike complimented.Wesley agreed once he saw the photo.Tiffany chuckled. "Everyone in that family is so good-looking that I can keep my eyes closed, and t

Avery's head began to hurt as soon as she thought about this.Her children would not walk down the path that she had laid down for them, and since she and Elliot had gotten married late in life, she could not ask Hayden to marry early either. She knew that none of her children would ever settle for less, and marriage seemed insignificant if they could not find the one. "I don't think Hayden needs a psychiatrist. He seems normal to me. Elliot was the same way before, right? Work means everything because he hasn't found someone he likes! Once he finds that person, he might transform into a puppy as Elliot did..."Avery came close to vomiting when she heard the word 'puppy'."Avery, do you think you are going to be a good mother-in-law?" Tammy asked.Avery had not considered this question in the past because Hayden had never shown any interest in romantic relationships; she would have at least given it some thought if Hayden had brought home a woman."I don't think that I would i

"I see! Hayden, what do you think?" Robert turned to Hayden."I think your sister has to be insane to buy a place like this."Both Robert and Layla were rendered speechless."I think it's a nice place! Why would you think that she is insane?" Ivy asked in confusion. "There is plenty of natural light, and she chose the right floor. It's not too far high up, and you can still enjoy the view. Most importantly, you can see Layla's office from the balcony." Ivy proceeded to list all the things she liked about the apartment.Elliot glanced at Ivy with a gentle look on his face, and Hayden was silenced completely.Avery chuckled. "Your dad and brother have never lived in a place this size before, that's why they don't like it. They've never suffered in their lives. They are just picky.""But this is Layla's apartment. All that matters is whether she likes it!" Ivy mumbled."That's right, Ivy! I am moving out to be independent, not to have fun." Layla walked over, threw an arm around Iv

"I've been to Edelweiss a few years ago," Layla said.Ivy's ears immediately perked up. "Layla, was it fun? What does Edelweiss look like?""I was also there to see the aurora, but I was not that lucky. I couldn't see them," Layla said, "I only went to its most northern city. I went there just to see the aurora. The night that I left, the aurora appeared. I was infuriated to death."Ivy could not help but smile."I don't have much of an impression on Edelweiss, because I was there for not very long. I have traveled to many countries before. Basically, I rarely have any situation where I can't adapt to the place. Unfortunately, that time when I went to Edelweiss, I had a high fever of almost forty degrees. I could barely eat anything." Layla thought about that encounter and she still felt chills running down her back.She was in good health from a young age. She rarely had a fever. That time in Edelweiss, it must be because of the food there. First, she vomited, and after that, s
