The next morning, Avery went down the stairs to find Hayden reading a magazine in the living room.


    "Why are you awake so early? Aren''t you going to sleep for a while longer?"


    "I''m done." Hayden set the magazine aside. "Robert has changed. He got up at the same time I did, and he said that the holidays haven''t started yet, so he needs to go to work."


    Avery nced at the dining room. "Has he gone out yet?"


    "Yeah. He grabbed breakfast and headed out," Hayden said. "I saw him driving a rather cheap car. Did he buy that specifically for work?"


    Avery nodded. "He wants to have a taste of what it''s like to be normal, so we just let him."


    "He is under Ivy''s influence!" Hayden did not get that chance as everyone knew that he was Elliot''s son.


    Though his business was not centered in Aryadelle, he was just as famous as Elliot in the country because the Dream Maker cars had taken the globe by storm, and anywhere the cars were sold, people knew him.


    "Yeah! I suppose it''s a good thing for him to learn hardship!" Avery was starving and asked, "Have you eaten breakfast?"


    "No." Hayden ced the magazine back on the rack and walked with Avery to the dining room.


    "Come with me to La''s wedding venueter." Avery figured Hayden had nothing else to do and said, "Your dad is busy today."


    "Sure." Hayden took a sip of milk and said, "The wedding is going to take ce after New Year''s, right?"


    "I talked to Last night and she wants it as soon as possible, so I guess that''s how things will be!"


    Hayden did not say anything else. After all, La was already been legally married to Eric.


    "Can you postpone your return to Bridgedale? Leave after the


    wedding." Avery gingerly deshetled


    the eggs and said, "I will talk


    and Chadter as well."


    Mike


    "Sure. Ivy isn''t around. Is she still sleeping?" Hayden was not used to the silence.


    "She probably stayed up all night practicing again. She is really hardworking." Avery nced at the clock. "I will go to her roomter after breakfast." "What about Dad?" Hayden recalled that Elliot did not have a habit of sleeping in.


    "He is still sleeping! He went to bedtest night, thinking about La''s wedding. He can''t get too involved, nor can he stay out of it altogether." "Aren''t you losing any sleep over this, Mom?" Hayden asked.


    "No! I''ve been sleeping well. I''m happy every day ever since Ivy came home." Avery smiled. "I''m d that


    have to worry that she will be wronged. I get a little sad


    La and Eric are marriede, nét


    sometimes, but kids are bound to grow up at some point. That''s exactly how my life progressed when I started dating your dad as well."


    Hayden summoned the courage and asked, "Mom, what kind of a person should I look for to be my girlfriend?"


    Avery thought that she had misheard him and did not snap out of it until a few momentster. "Someone you love, of course."


    "I haven''t met anyone that I like so far." He scowled as he had never been as interested in women as he was in his career.


    "Don''t doubt yourself. Not everyone


    runs into someone they love." Avery was surprised that Hayden would bring up such a subject and was pleased to discuss it with him. "Some Jove passionately and can tell who they love at first sight; while some need time to cultivate that sort of feelings toward someone. You might be in thetter group because that''s what your dad was like as well."


    She handed a deshelled egg to Hayden and he took two big bites. "I think rtionships are troublesome."N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
