"Harrod, what's your wish?" Lilith tapped her son on the shoulder.Ever since Harrod had started middle school, his personality had changed drastically, and Lilith felt like her son had entered the rebellious stage."To get full scores for my final exam and make Mom happy," Harrod said.Lilith had not had the chance to study while growing up, so she made sure that her son focused on his academic achievements and was pleased to hear what he said."It's very hard to get a full score for everything, and I don't need you to do that." Lilith did not want to pressure Harrod."Harrod, do you only want to make your mom happy? What about me?""If Mom is happy, you will be, too," Harrod said.Ben was instantly rendered speechless, and Lilith was overjoyed.After breakfast, the girls gathered to discuss topics like gossip, beauty, and fashion tips, while Harrod went to play video games with Robert."Have you all noticed that kids don't cling to you as much once they grow up?" Lilith aske

"Are you done with the preparations for Layla's wedding?" Lilith asked. "When will it be?""The preparations are almost done, considering how much help we have," Avery said. "It can pretty much take place any time, but we are still celebrating New Year's, so we didn't want to take the attention away from that.""You need to decide on a date soon and send out the invitations!""I will speak to Layla and Eric about it," Avery said."Layla is going to get married yet she still acts like a child sometimes!" Lilith was amused by Layla going up the stairs with the other younger girls."We were just like her when we were in our twenties, weren't we?" Avery thought back to the days when she was young; it all felt like yesterday. All the memories seemed fresh, yet so far beyond her grasp.Shortly after, Kiara came running down the stairs with a gift she received."Mom, Layla, and Ivy gave me this for New Year's." Kiara showed Shea a sophisticated purse. "Look, Mom, it's the shape of a sl

"Alright!" Lilith said gloomily. "Avery's kids are all so brilliant, and whenever I think about the difference between Harry and them, I would doubt whether Elliot and I are even related. I've pretty much let go of that now. Every kid is different, so maybe Harrod will only start to shine later in life.""Even if he doesn't turn out the way you want him to, you shouldn't feel frustrated about it either. Everyone wants their kids to be successful, but we are all still human. You succeed as a parent as long as your child has great manners and health," said Avery. Shea nodded in agreement."Fine. I will just leave him be for a while." Lilith set her burden aside."You can't exactly just let him run free either. You need to have some rules. You can't push too hard, nor can you give him too much freedom... There's a trick to these things..." Avery said.Lilith's head started to hurt from all the information."If you are getting tired, leave Harrod to Ben. Don't worry. I'm sure Ben kn

That afternoon, Harry called Elliot to inform him that Ivy's script was ready, and Elliot immediately sent the driver to the television station to pick the script up.Once the driver brought the script home, Ivy returned to her room to recite her script.Avery pulled Layla aside and said, "Preparation for the wedding is almost done. When do you want to have the wedding?""Just any day after New Year's, I guess!" Layla said."You need to pick a date! Once you select the date, you will need to send out the invites to your family and friends." Avery pulled up the calendar on her phone and showed it to Layla. "Your dad and I don't have any date in mind. Maybe you should ask Eric's parents.""They are probably okay with anything we decide as well!" Layla grabbed the phone and randomly picked a date on the calendar. "First of March, then! We can't have it on Valentine's as I had not expected the preparations to be done this quickly. I haven't even sent out the invitations!" "That shou

At half past nine, they set off the fireworks in the yard. Instantly, the darkness was illuminated by dazzling colors, and everyone came out to watch the fireworks and take pictures.The fireworks were so bright and breathtaking that Ivy could not help but shed tears at the sight.She recalled fragments of her past and distinctively remembered the year when her grandmother had taken her to the city center so that she could watch a grand fireworks display. During the show, her grandmother's wallet had been stolen, and they did not have the money to take the bus back. On that cold night, it had taken them nearly three hours to walk home. Many of Ivy's memories were filled with icy coldness and poverty, and though she rarely looked back, these memories would still occasionally rush back to her.Midnight arrived, marking the beginning of a new year.They had finished setting off their fireworks just as their neighbor began setting off theirs. The sound of successive fireworks a

Ivy was surprised as Harry had not mentioned anything to her."When did it happen?" she asked."Yesterday. I found out earlier today, though. The manager approached Anthony and Andrea in private. What do you think happened?" the staff member asked Ivy mysteriously."Did they leave together?"The staff member shook his head. "You have too high a regard for Anthony. He sold Andrea out, so Andrea was fired and he got to stay."Ivy was utterly stunned because Anthony and Andrea seemed extremely close when she spotted them on the street on New Year's Eve. She had never expected Anthony to betray Andrea this easily."Andrea is a fool for underestimating the people around her. Throughout the years I've worked here, I've never seen anyone who would sink this low. Even if she had managed to embarrass you while you were on camera, did she really think she would be able to get away with it? Something must be wrong with Anthony as well if he was dating someone like that. It's a good thing th

"What about Harrod?""We have enough people to play the game so we don't need him! Haha! He is just a kid. Let him play on his own!" Tiffany said mercilessly.They had a few snacks and went to sleep.On Ivy's way back to her room, she glanced into the poker room.Lilith spotted her and said, "Welcome home, Ivy. How was work today?""Great. Aunt Lilith, are you hungry? I brought you guys some snacks." Ivy set the snacks she brought aside."Hurry to bed, Ivy! We will be going to bed soon as well." Avery smiled gently at Ivy."Okay. I will go to sleep now." Ivy returned to her room.Oddly, she did not feel tired at all despite waking up early that morning and not taking a nap that afternoon.She lay awake in bed, daydreaming, when she realized why she could not sleep. She reached for her phone. She had yet to send a message to Lucas[Mr. Lucas, it's New Year's here in Aryadelle. I spent a wonderful and unforgettable night surrounded by family and friends. They all love me, and

"They sure kept the news of the wedding a secret! We didn't hear anything about it until now!""Yeah! I heard that the press is not invited! If we manage to get something, even if it's just a photo of the wedding, we are going to be famous!""Dream on! If they didn't invite any reporters, I'm sure no one can get into the wedding hall unless they are invited!""It's not exactly impossible to sneak in... You can do so before the wedding, like pretending to be a part of the hotel staff.""The hotel is unlikely to send a newbie to the wedding hall to serve such important guests! You are being naive! Even if you manage to get in, they won't allow you to carry any cameras! There are bound to be multiple security checks.""But the manager said that whoever gets information or photos of the wedding gets a cash reward of 15,600 dollars! 15,600 dollar! I can just rest for the rest of the year if I win that reward.""It's not that much, though, considering that this is Eric Santos' wedding!
