"I hope so. I won't stay here after going back to work tomorrow," Layla said.Ivy nodded. "Will you come home on the weekends?""Of course. I haven't come to a consensus with Dad yet, but that doesn’t mean that I can just ignore all the love he has showered me with over the years." Layla took a deep breath and continued, "Don't worry about me, Ivy. Like you've said, maybe I'll get better in time.""Layla, let's go for a walk! It's not hot outside." Ivy glanced out the window and realized that it was a good time for a leisurely stroll."Sure. Give me a few more pieces of candy. They taste pretty nice."Layla reached out for some candy, and Ivy gave her all the candy she had bought. "I bought them for you, anyways."The two walked out of the house and strolled around the area."Layla, a guy came asking for my number after class today," Ivy said, hoping to distract Layla by discussing another topic.Layla raised an eyebrow. "Is he good-looking? What's your impression of him?""I

Layla watched as Ivy typed and chuckled. "I feel like suffocating reading that, so I'm pretty sure this guy is scarred for life.""He keeps saying how he is rich and that his parents want a perfect match for him, so the perfect way to get him to give up is to pretend that I'm poor."Layla gave her a thumbs up. "That's a good idea, but aren't you worried that he might tell everyone at university?""That's even better! That would save me from a lot of unnecessary interactions." Ivy sent the message and saw the boy typing for a long while, without actually sending a reply and realized that the boy must be struggling to say something.She placed her phone back into her pocket and took Layla's hand and lead her outside."Layla, let's go shopping!" Ivy had not gone shopping ever since school had started."Are we walking there?" Layla said, wanting to go by car."We can catch a taxi if we are going to the city center," Ivy said. "There's a small shopping mall near this area, too, and i

"I rarely go on business trips because Mom and Dad don't want me to exhaust myself. I used to listen to them, but I've had a moment of clarity. How can I shy away from the exhausting parts of work? I can't do that for work, nor can I do so for life in general. I want to train myself and to do that, I need to step out of the comfort zone our parents built for me."Ivy nodded in agreement.That night, Layla posted a photo of Cambrode and her flight ticket with the caption [Looking forward to my trip to Cambrode before going to sleep.]After that, she went to sleep.There was only one flight to Cambrode each day, and it departed at seven, which meant that she would have to arrive at the airport at six in the morning.Elliot's mansion was an hour's drive away from the airport, so, at the latest, Layla would need to wake up by half past four and leave by five, and this calculation excluded the time she would need for breakfast.She rarely needed to wake up early, so she was concerned.
Chapter 2708
Toward the end of the article, the author wrote that she had deleted all the ways she could contact the man whom she had failed to start a relationship with so that he would completely disappear from her world.The article ended with a sentence that stated 'Opposites attract, so men and women are only friends for a reason. If we can't be a couple, we ought to say goodbye. We need to empty that space in our hearts so that we can prepare for the prince that will surely appear before us someday.'Layla finished reading the article and felt slightly dazed.She was not one who was so easily affected by the words of others, but she knew that she would never recover unless she were to cut all ties with Eric.She knew herself all too well. As long as Eric was still in her contacts and as long as he continued to pay attention to what she wrote on social media, there was no way that she could ever forget about him and start a new relationship. However, if she wished to cut all ties with him,

"Stop following me. If you follow me to the entrance like you did last time, I'm reporting you to the guards," Ivy warned him.The boy was stunned for a moment as he did not expect Ivy to be so cold."Let's talk here, then!" The boy adjusted his glasses. "Are you mad at me for not replying to your message? It was the first time I encountered this sort of situation, so I didn't know what to say. I've thought things through, and I want to talk to you in person.""Can you stop acting like we are really close? I don't want to be your friend."The boy seemed to have a hard time accepting what she said and mumbled to himself, "Looks like you are really mad at me for not replying. I mean to tell you that we can get together first, and we can see what we can do about your family's debt later on in the future..."What he was saying was that he wanted to ignore the debt her family was in as they were only going to be in a short-term relationship. After all, they were still students, and it

After Elliot was done, Avery muttered, "I wonder what kind of guy Ivy would like.""She is just eighteen...""That's old enough to start dating. Elliot, you can't apply the same set of expectations you have for Layla to Ivy. Ivy has suffered a lot, and you are not going to stop her from dating!" Avery wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Elliot. "As long as the guy she likes is a good man and loves Ivy dearly, we will not stop her.""That's a dangerous way of looking at this, Avery. Do you know why I have such high standards for my future-son-law?" Elliot asked, "It's because those requirements can only be fulfilled by talented and virtuous men...""Why do you think a person's heart is connected to those requirements?" said Avery, disagreeing. "One's personality is partially determined by genes and partially determined by the environment they grow up in. Even kids who grow up in ordinary or poor families could have a good heart. Just look at Ivy. She grew up in poverty, and s

"Something happened to my family's factory. Are you behind it?" The boy had been scolded by his father and had hardly slept the night before, so he came to the gate early and waited for Ivy.His father called home last night saying that a few of the clients had terminated their contracts with their factory, and when the boy's father went to speak to those clients, they informed him that they had terminated their contracts because his son had crossed someone he should not have. If his house was close to the university dorm, the boy's father would have gone all the way to the dorm to beat him up.He had not slept the entire night. He had stayed awake wondering who he had crossed, and the only person he could think of was Ivy. "What happened to your family's factory?" Ivy asked in confusion."Are you not the one who did it? The only one I upset was you," the boy said in frustration. "I didn't expect you to be so capable as to do such a thing to our factory… We only have a few clien

[Okay. What are you having for lunch?] Avery typed.Ivy took a photo of her lunch: pasta and mushroom soup.Avery immediately replied worriedly. [Darling, is that really enough for you?]Avery, too, had not watched what she ate back when she was a university student, but her standards for her children were different.[I ate too much during breakfast this morning, so I’m not hungry right now. I will have a more balanced meal later at night when I get home.][What do you want for dinner, then? I will tell the servants to make whatever you want.][Anything. No matter what, home-cooked meals are the best.]Avery's lips curled into a smile as she read her daughter's message.Ivy was a sweet and independent daughter, and Avery did not need to worry about her at all.After a while, Avery sent her another message. [Ivy, do you think your dad and I have been out of line for stopping your sister from pursuing the man she wants? I want to hear the truth.]She had wanted to discuss this
