Ivy stared at Daniel in surprise. "What do you mean by 'you need me to see you as the man?'" Daniel threw his head back and laughed. "Come on, Ivy, why do you look so serious? I was just messing with you." Ivy slapped him on his shoulder. "Stop doing that! I don't even know when you're being serious and when you're goofing around." "Really? So do you want me to be serious all the time?" "Yes, I mean no. Okay, sometimes you can be serious and sometimes you can be goofy." Daniel pinched her cheeks. "Just now, I was goofing around, but there are times when I'm serious." "When are you ever serious?" Ivy asked. Daniel cupped her cheeks and crashed his lips against hers. Ivy pulled away from him and asked, "What are you doing?" "Shh... I'm being serious right now," Daniel replied and kissed her again. But she pulled away from him a second time. "It's getting late. I think we should leave." "Hold on," Daniel said. "Don't try to run away from me, Ivy." "What were you doing just no

Daniel let Ivy out of the room and they met with Grandpa Hudson and Aunt Isla. He said to them, "This is the idea I have; we are going to post all the pictures we took at the palace or the nice pictures you took with Ivy back in Battam. Grandpa Hudson, you can post them on your Twitter account and the caption should be 'Meet my beautiful granddaughter, the future queen of Cambodia.' For now, let that be there for the world to see. I promise you that no one will even question Ivy's background or history. Everyone will be trying to debunk the news about her. After all, there is no proof of it." Grandpa Hudson smiled, "That is a good idea. I was thinking along the same lines as well. I'm sure once that is out, everyone will know that my Ivy is not the pauper that her enemies have made her out to be." Ivy said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'm sorry, Aunt Isla. It's just that after seeing the news..." "It's fine, my child," Hudson replied. "I understand you have been through so much. I'm no

Ivy and Daniel spent a few hours at the cliff and eventually left. Seeing that Ivy had become more emotional, Daniel led her to his car and sat beside her, staring at her as she collected her emotions. Eventually, he said, "I should just drop you off at home, okay? You don't look so good." When they got to the front of her house, she smiled at him, "Well, now that I went out, I feel so much better. I don't know how you do it, but you always have a way of making me feel better. Thank you, Daniel." "You're welcome," Daniel replied. "Later, when you have the time, you can go online, see all the things people are saying about you, and know that you are an amazing person." Ivy laughed, "They are just saying all that because they think I'm some rich heiress. People have double standards. That's just the truth." "Yeah, tell me about it. But then again, I'm sure some of the comments will make you happy."After Daniel dropped her off, Ivy went into the house, smiling. When Hudson saw her,

After the wedding, Ivy got into the car. But before then, she turned and stared at Grandpa Hudson and began to cr She hugged him, Aunt Isla, and everyone else and waved them goodbye. When she got into the car with Daniel, he asked her, "Why are you crying? Each time you want to see them, you can always call or visit. You have the resources, it's not like you'll be apart." "I know," Ivy replied. "But in the short time, I've gotten to know Aunt Isla and my grandpa, they have been able to make up for all the years we were apart. Aunt Isla loves me like her own daughter. She dotes on me even more than she does her own daughter. She has been so amazing towards me, and I just can't help it. She is like the mom I never met. Even during our wedding, she stood in as my mom, so, I don't know, I guess I'm just overwhelmed." "It's fine," Daniel replied. "You have me. Even though our wedding isn't exactly what everyone thinks it is, I will still always be here for you. By the way, nice vows."

Daniel stared at Ivy in surprise, "Really? Will you really do anything for me?" Ivy replied, "Yes, that's what I said."Do you mean it?" She smiled, "Of course I mean it. Why? You don't believe me?" Daniel hesitated and responded, "No, I do. It's just that I've never heard you say anything like this before. I hope you don't forget what you've said right now because I will remind you." Ivy assured him, "Of course, my memory isn't that short." They said goodnight once again and went to sleep.The next morning, Ivy woke up to find Daniel coming out of the bathroom wearing only his pants. She couldn't help but stare at him as he wiped his hair. When his eyes turned in her direction and he caught her gaze, she instantly covered her face with the duvet. Daniel found it amusing and said, "You can stop hiding because I already saw you." Ivy peeped out from under the duvet and they both began to laugh. Daniel added, "If you want to use the bathroom, it's free." Ivy nodded and rushed
