"That''s not possible!" Ivy chuckled as she blushed. "I think you and La are the most beautiful women!"


    "Haha, both you and La are my children, so you are just as beautiful as one another," Avery said. "Are you really okay with the trouble that mighte with fame? Your dad and I hate being the center of attention."


    "I don''t like that either, but I''m happy to know that everyone likes me." Ivy had not dreamed in her wildest imagination that she would be famous after her first day on air.


    "Your dad can take care of it for you. If you aren''t aiming to be an actress, it won''t help you to be on social media." Avery did not want to expose her daughter to the opinions of others.


    "Can Dad do that?" Ivy did not wish to be on social media either.


    "Sure." Avery scrolled through her phone to send Elliot a text. "I will get him to work on it right away."


    "Okay." Ivy got up to take a ss of water.


    After sending Elliot a text, Avery walked over to Ivy. "Get some more restter. Make sure you get enough sleep, or your health will suffer."


    "Okay. I need to move around for a bit after eating, though."


    "Sure."


    "Mom, what is New Year''s like in our family?" Ivy grabbed her phone and sat down next to Avery.


    "Sometimes Hayden woulde here to celebrate New Year''s, and sometimes we would go to Bridgedale and celebrate New Year''s there. Mostly, Haydenes back because La and Robert both study here in Aryadelle," Avery said gently. "Hayden will being back this year. Ivy, how would you like to spend New Year''s? We will do whatever you want."Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Ivy felt moved. "I just want us all to gather. Eat, watch television, chat, and maybe y a few rounds of poker. I can''t think of anything else."


    "Your dad and I have been talking about calling your aunts over," Avery said. "The more the merrier, and this is going to be our best New Year''s yet because you came back to us."


    "Sure! It''s more fun when there are more people."


    "Do you know why I want to invite them?" Avery continued. "You''ve been alone in the past, and I want you to be surrounded by people who love you from now on."


    Avery assumed that lonely people would enjoy being surrounded by people.


    Ivy nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Mom. I have been spending more time outside than at home, but I don''t feel lonely anymore. You, Dad, Hayden, La, and Robert are always there with me in my heart." "Robert envies you, Ivy." Avery patted her on the head. "Do you know why? He envies how strong you are. He is using a fake identity for this internship because he wants to see how much he can take."


    "Robert told me, but I don''t think


    that''s necessary. People are strong because they are forced to be. No one wan to willingly suffer." Ivy smiled. "Robert has just led too peaceful of a life and that''s why he is tooking to suffer."


    "It''s good for him to be exposed to hardship in life. We have kept him by our side since the day he was born and he hasn''t suffered while he was growing up... The worst "suffering", if you would call it that, would be the suffering caused by La


    "I can tell. Robert is adorable and innocent." Ivy loved spending time with Robert because they were closer in age and he was innocent he had a lot of hobbies and was rather knowledgeable but seemed naive when it came to how society worked.


    "Robert would be happy to hear what you said."


    "Mom, Ipliment him all the time because I really like him. Haha!"


    "I''m d that you are all getting along so well," Avery said. "That''s what my life''s worth lies."


    "Mom, you still have plenty of days to live."


    "I know."


    At two in the afternoon, Ivy returned to her room but failed to fall back to sleep.


    She unlocked her phone and opened the official website of the television station. Though her name had disappeared from social media, the number ofments on the official website had increased.
