Avery saved a lot of people in the past and helping Eric did not mean much to her. Eric, however, saw Avery as his savior.


    In the yard, La had said goodbye to Eric, and he was about to leave when Avery came over and invited him inside. "Eric, since you are already here, why don''t youe inside?"


    Eric hesitated.


    "My mom is inviting you in. Why are you still standing here?" La teased before opening the car door for him.


    Eric stepped out of his car and followed them into the mansion. Once they entered the living room, La pulled Ivy to the dining room and started digging into the barbeque ribs Ivy brought home.


    Ivy nced into the living room. "La, aren''t you worried that it would be awkward for them to be alone?" Ivy felt awkward when she tried to put herself in Eric''s shoes.


    "Eric is extremely scared of our parents, so he''s probably dying from nerves right about now!" La giggled.


    "Oh, you are doing this on purpose!"


    "He is too timid. It''s a good chance for him to start acting brave," La said before taking her phone out. "Here''s the design for your house. Uncle Chad sent it to me. He didn''t really want to show me because he wanted to surprise us, but I told him that I needed to buy furniture for it, so he finally caved."


    Ivy leaned over to stare at the screen of La''s phone.


    Mike had bought Ivy a mansion, and Chad had paid for the interior design. The photos shown on La''s phone included furniture.


    "Wow, it''s so pretty! It looks like a candy house!" Ivy eximed.


    "Yeah, they used a lot of bright colors. If you like this, I will order the furniture ording to the photos."


    "La, I feel like a princess."


    "You are a princess! You are our little princess, and I''m the older princess. Hahaha!"


    Their voices andughter drifted into the living room, and the three immediately quietened down.


    Eric finished his ss of water and checked the time. "It''s gettingte. I won''t overstay my wee." Avery stood up from the couch. "I will walk you out."Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "It''s fine."


    "Don''t worry about it." Avery walked him out despite his protests, and once they were out of the doorgshe whispered, "Don''t take Elliot''s

    Elliot had not said anything, but he had looked annoyed the entire time Eric had been there.


    "It''s fine." Elliot smiled. "I feel happy. I''m d that you found Ivy."

    "I understand. I won''t tell anyone."


    "Yeah. Drive safe."


    "Sure. You should get back inside now!"


    Avery watched as he got into the car and walked into the mansion. As soon as she returned to the living room, she spotted Elliot and La sitting on the couch talking to one another.
