"Layla, you are stressing me out, pushing me like this," he said. "I didn't save you simply because it was you. I would have done the same thing even if it was Ivy, Robert, or Hayden in that situation—""I know. You are going to say that you saved me to repay my mom," she interrupted him. "I don't want to marry you because you saved me. I have been wanting to marry you for a while now. Don't think that I'm doing this because I feel guilty. I'm not a fool. If I don't like you, you can save my life ten times more and I still wouldn't marry you."He spotted the determination in her eyes and lowered his head shamefully at her words."If you really think that you don't have much longer to live, spend that time with me!" Layla said. "Just think of it as your last chance to spoil me."In the living room, Ivy and Robert had gone through all the photos and handed the album back to Mr. Santos. "Do you want to see more? We have other albums of him as well," Mr. Santos offered enthusiastical

Robert and Ivy immediately shook their heads."I'm specifically talking about you, Robert. I opened your gift as soon as I went in. You are lucky that it's not anything inappropriate, or I would have had your head." Layla took a sip of water."Layla, don't you trust me at all? With the condition that Eric is in, why would I give him something inappropriate?" Robert argued. "How did the conversation go? Is he not willing to move into your place?""He didn't say yes, but neither did he say no," Layla said casually. "He wants me to give him more time to think.""You are great at this, Layla! If he says that he will consider it, it means he is wavering." Robert knew that his elder sister had the advantage."If I'm great at this whole thing, I would already be in a relationship with him." Layla used to be hot-headed, but Eric had made her a better person. "Thank you, both of you. I saw your gifts, and I know that you are trying to help me.""It's all Ivy's idea," Robert said. "She is
Chapter 2808
That afternoon, Elliot and Avery stopped by, having heard from Layla that she planned to move in with Eric. They realized that Eric had agreed to a relationship with Layla, and their new status warranted a discussion. Avery did not have much to say to Eric as he would be too busy recovering, and this meant that Layla would be dominating the relationship. Eric had always spoiled Layla and would give up on whatever he wanted in favor of whatever she wanted. Once the two arrived, Mrs. Santos hurried out to ask if they had eaten."We have, so don't worry about us. Sit down and take a break!" Avery pulled Mrs. Santos down to sit next to her. "Elliot and I came over because Layla said she is going to move in with Eric. It's good that they decided to be together. They know each other well, and because of that, we aren't worried about them getting into arguments in the future." Mrs. Santos smiled weakly. "Eric is lucky to be loved by Layla. She is such a brilliant and beautiful girl,

Ivy shook her head without hesitation. "I don't know how to play, Layla.""You can learn!" Robert dragged Ivy over. "I will guide you."Once Ivy was seated, Layla sat down to play. After playing for a while, Ivy slowly began to understand the rules of the game, so Elliot let Robert take his seat."I will check on your mom." Elliot was concerned that Avery might be bored if she was left alone."Dad, you are just bored with us! Why don't you call Mom over as well?" Robert teased."I'll ask." Elliot left and did not return. Instead, he took Avery out for a stroll.The house Mr. and Mrs. Santos lived in belonged in an older area with a great environment."Elliot, are you a little upset?" Avery glanced at him with a smile. "I knew that Layla would be able to convince Eric.""I'm fine." He stared off into the distance calmly. "Layla longs for marriage, and even if it wasn't Eric, it would be someone else. I might be prejudiced against Eric, but I can't deny that he is a talented man.
Chapter 2810
"If her dad is that powerful, why is she studying here at all? The TV station is run by the country. It's not privately owned!" someone said. "Besides, we would have known if the station manager's daughter is here!""Let me check the name of the station manager..." One of the students from Ivy's class pulled out his phone and began searching the internet. "The station manager's family name isn't Foster, so I don't think she is related to him!""How did she get in, then? She is just a pretty face with an accent. Can she even do her job? It's not like they are starting a show to display different accents! Haha!""Hey, settle down... If she manages to get into the program, it means that she has some level of competency. If she hears you talking about her like that, you might lose your chances of getting into the station in the future!" someone else reminded the others."What a joke! There is more than one TX station in Avonsville! Apart from the one for the State, there are ones for t

"There were only eight spots, and she took one of them. It's only natural that we are all upset! We wouldn't say anything if she has what it takes, but she doesn't and yet she dares to take a spot away from someone who does have what it takes! How shameless!" the person said before leaving in frustration.Meredith picked up her phone and saw Ivy's reply.[I will work hard.]"It looks like there really is more to the story," Meredith thought. "If Ivy isn't explaining how she got into the internship program, it means that she is feeling guilty about it as well."Just then, she recalled that her aunt had once tutored Ivy and worked at the television station, so her aunt might know more about it.Meredith immediately sent her aunt a message, asking if she knew anything about it as this was the first time the station had ever selected a first-year student as an intern.Her aunt replied right away. [I don't know much about this! Had you not told me about it, I wouldn't even know that s

Everything was settled at this point, so it was impossible for Ivy to quit. She nodded and said, "From the moment I agreed to take the internship, I knew that this would happen.""If you are that horrible at it, your tutor would have never suggested that you intern at the station. The people who speak ill of you behind your back only do so because they don't know you; even if they do know you in person or find out your identity, they might still do the same. You need to understand that no matter what you do or how well you do it, there will be people who dislike you," Layla said, consoling her. "The first step of growing up is to stay strong.""Have you been through this, Layla?""Of course. Unlike you, since I was a little girl, everyone knew who I am. I'm Elliot Foster's daughter, which is why it never mattered what I did. Even if I earned my place, people would always say that I accomplished it because of my dad." Layla did not feel a thing mentioning this. "We live for ourselve

Ivy hummed in response."Haha! Maybe you will change your mind when you find someone you like, but that's for another time. You will be interning at a TV station soon. I'm so proud of you."Ivy wavered slightly at the nurse's words, but she no longer felt as nervous after what Layla said to her.Two hours later, Layla returned with Eric.The nurse went to the kitchen to cook while Ivy went to help.Layla helped Eric down on the couch and told Ivy to come out of the kitchen."Ivy, do you want to go to the broadcasting room to try rehearsing?" Layla asked. "Eric knows someone from a different TV station, and they can give you a tour when the room isn't being used..."Ivy shook her head without hesitation. "Mr. Gardner said that he will take me around the station ahead of time, so I don't need to trouble you, Big Brother Eric."The air between them instantly froze.Layla was holding back her laughter, while Eric blushed as he had not expected Ivy to change the way she addressed h
