La handed Robert''s phone back to him. "I believe that you were fooled into doing this. If you really want that kind of service, you wouldn''t call her here to our house."


    Robert nodded.


    La sighed. "It''s good that we have you in the mix, I guess. It would be boring if all four of us are smart."


    "I think that''s an insult, right?"


    "Yeah. Can you tell?" La bit into her vegetables. "You don''t have to be so hung up on this, though."


    Robert beamed.


    "Because I will remember this for you for the rest of our lives!" she added.


    "I guess it''s all worth the humiliation if you are that happy about it." Robert chuckled. "Have more meat."


    "I''m gaining weight, and you want me to have more meat."


    "You haven''t gained any weight at all. The doctors said that having more meat is good for your body," Robert said, before changing the subject. "Should I refer to Eric as my brother-inw from now on?" "Eric hasn''t agreed!" Ivy said.


    Robert was just as shocked as Ivy was.


    "Robert, let''s pay him a visit this weekend!" Ivy suggested.


    "Sure!" Robert had been nning to do so to show his gratitude to Eric, who had saved his sister''s life.


    After dinner, Ivy snuck into Robert''s room.


    "Robert, there''s something I need to discuss with you."


    Robert had juste out of the shower and was drying his hair. "What is it? Why are you whispering?"


    "La wants to marry Eric, but Eric


    won''t agree to it, and I want to help La out," vy said. "Eric hasn''t fully


    he''s a bit sensitive. If we can''t


    recovered yet, so it''s no ne


    convince him with words, we will have to think of something else."


    "How can we change his mind, though?" Robert sat down by his bed. "If words won''t work, I can''t think of anything else!"


    "We can be subtle," she suggested. "By buying him a book or something like that."


    "What kind of book?"


    "Books contain the stories of people searching for true love after having suffered heavy wounds."


    "Oh. There are plenty of those.


    Wait... I think that''s more applicable


    to movies." Robert faintly recalled


    movie that he had recently seen


    which had a plot right that. "But can''t remember the name of the movie."


    "Robert, I will look for books like that, and you can find a movie with that storyline."


    "Sure. It''s a good idea. We don''t have to say anything, but Eric will get our messages once he sees our gifts." Robert was impressed. "You are brilliant."


    "I just don''t want to see La sad.


    She wants me to be her bridesmaid, and she wants to get married within the year," Ivy said. "Wanting something you can''t get must be depressing."


    "Our ways might not work, though!" he said.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    "Let''s try! I am out of ideas now," Ivy said calmly. "Maybe Eric wille to terms with La''s proposal once he gets better."


    "I hope so!"


    ...


    During the weekends, La brought her siblings to Eric''s house to pay him a visit.


    Eric''s parents knew that they wereing and had prepared snacks and bought groceries to make lunch for them all.


    "Eric, thank you for saving La''s life. Ivy and I are really grateful for what you did, so we got you gifts." Robert handed the gifts to Eric.


    The gifts were wrapped, and La had beenpletely unaware that they had bought Eric gifts.


    "What did you get him? You even went as far as to wrap them up," La said curiously.
