"Eric is okay with that?" Robert asked.


    "He didn''t exactly agree, but he didn''t say no to it either. La has already moved in with him, and even if they don''t share a room, they are together in the eyes of others," Ivy said with a smile. "Eric has liked La all along. She once showed me his iPad, and it''s filled with photos and videos of La."


    Robert was stunned. "He hides his feelings well! I never knew that he felt this way about La."


    "La is pretty, talented, and smart, so it''s normal for Eric to like her! If I were a guy, I would like her as well," Ivy said earnestly. "I think she is far more beautiful than I am."


    "You don''t have to lower yourself to build her up." Robert shot her a look. "You just don''t have a habit of putting makeup on. Once you start dressing up, you will look just as beautiful as La."


    "I just think she is better-looking than me."Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Alright. She is prettier." Robert did not argue with her. "Ivy, the winter holiday is approaching, so I can drop you off at work!"


    Ivy rejected him right away. "Mr. Gardner said that my show starts at three in the morning, but I need to be at the station at eleven at night. It''s toote, so don''t drop me off. I will get the driver to drive me there."


    "I don''t even sleep at eleven!" Robert wanted to send her to work. "I wille home after sending you to work, and the driver can pick you up once you are done."


    "Why do you insist on sending me, Robert? I don''t want to trouble you," Ivy said. "Don''t you have things to do? I thought you mentioned that you are going to work at Dad''spany?"


    "Even so, I will be at home by nightfall! I''m still too young for Dad to give me any work that truly matters. I just want to drop you off at work. There''s no specific reason. Hayden is in a different country, and La has moved out, so I just want to treasure our time together."


    Ivy was moved by his words. "Robert, are you thinking about the future where we both move out?"


    He shook his head. "I''m thinking


    will


    about how, at some point, you meet someone you like in the future and marry them. I would be the only one left to stay by Mom and Dad''s side."


    She chuckled. "Robert, aren''t you going to marry and move out?"


    He shook his head again. "Why would I? We have a big house. I''m staying home."


    "But there are plenty of people who prefer finding their own ce instead of living with their elders."


    "If my future wife doesn''t want to stay at home with me, then I''m not getting married. Also, don''t refer to our parents as elders. They are stiff young to me." Robert smiled. "I''ve never thought of leaving them. Even when I went to work for Hayden, I never intended to stay there for the rest of my life."


    Ivy sighed a breath of relief. "Robert, I feel the same. I like being with Mom and Dad."


    "That''s good. If the husband you married isn''t all that aplished, you can still live in our family house with your husband! I''m sure our parents wouldn''t mind."


    "Sure!" Ivy said and turned to look out the window.


    A cold wind blew and the trees


    shivered under the street lights.


    There were not many people on the road, and despite all the neon fights that glittered all over the city the streets looked lonely.


    They arrived home and Avery immediately asked, "Ivy, is your sister upset?"


    "Upset? She is doing great! I think she''s in a pretty good mood today," Ivy said.
