Semua Bab When His Eyes Opened: Bab 2701 - Bab 2710

Ivy shook her head with a smile. "I can handle it. If I ignore his messages, he will get lost at some point. We don't have to trouble Dad over such things.""You are way out of that brat's league! I just don't want him to harass you. If he follows you again, don't hold back and tell him to get lost. If he refuses to listen, tell me right away." Brian was worried that Ivy might be too kind to turn others down. After all, she was tolerant enough to allow the boy to follow her all the way to the gates."Yeah. How's Layla?" "She was in her room when I left. They didn't fight, so don't worry.""Yeah, Robert told me about it, but I think Layla is probably quite upset.""Talk to her when you get home, then. It's just a man, and whoever he is, he's not worth starting an argument with your family."Ivy knew that what Brian said made sense, but humans were not machines, and sacrifices were always painful.Once she arrived home, Ivy changed into her slippers and went straight to Layla's r

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

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,

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

[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
