A few secondster, Robert said, "We will let things run their course!"


    "If you won''t back La up, I will," Ivy said. "We can''t all turn our backs on her. What if she runs away from home?"


    An idea appeared in Robert''s mind, and he said, "How about this? If they really do get into a fight, you will back La up, and I will be on Dad''s side to get him to calm down." "Sure!" Ivy said. "What would Hayden think of this?"


    "Probably the same as Dad," Robert said tly. "They resemble each other more and more as the years go by, both in their ways of presenting themselves and their values... I respect the two of them more than anyone, though."Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "Maybe you will be like them in the future."


    "No, I won''t. I''m more like Mom in terms of personality." Robert knew himself well and said, "I might look more like Dad, but, deep inside, I''m like Mom. I''m not all that ambitious and only want our family to stay together happily ever after."


    "That''s good! I love Mom." A gentle smile appeared on Ivy''s face at the mention of their mother. "Robert, who am I like?"


    "You look like Dad on the outside, but, as for your personality, I can''t tell. You are independent like Dad sometimes, but you are also lively and caring like Mom. Maybe you are thebination of their best qualities."


    "You are making me blush, Robert."


    "I''m just telling the truth!" he said sincerely.


    "If I find a boyfriend that you don''t approve of, will you all be disappointed in me?" Ivy asked.


    "Why are you asking? Is there someone you like?"


    "I just don''t think we can control who we like. Maybe that person isn''t all that great, but we like them regardless... What if there''s a man that you all think is great, but don''t like him?" Ivy said.


    "Oh... Indeed. Love isplicated, and I don''t think I know much about it yet. Maybe our parents won''t like the girl like in the future either." Affected by Ivy''s gloomy tone, he began feeling pessimistic.


    "Let''s support one another in the future, okay?" Ivy smiled.


    "Sure!" Robert said. "I think I will support La after all. Dad has Mom on his side, so he doesn''t need me."


    "Hahaha! Sure!"


    The next day, La woke up. Before she had time to register what time it was or what had happened the day before, her stomach rumbled. She instinctively got out of bed to go downstairs in search of food, only to find that both her parents and her younger brother were home.


    The three were sitting in the living room.


    "La, did you sleep well?" Robert had called in sick to wait for La to wake up just in case his parents and her had a heated argument.


    "Don''t you have sses today?" she asked as she walked toward the kitchen.


    "Um... I feel kind of sick today, so I called in sick," Robert lied.


    Elliot stood from the couch, only to be pulled back down by Avery.


    "Let her eat." She shot him a pointed look. "Do you want her to starve?"


    Since what she said was reasonable, Elliot sat back on the couch obediently.


    Hearing their exchange, La immediately remembered what had happened yesterday and instantly felt less happy with the food in front of her.
