Ivy fastened the seatbelt and studied Hayden, before muttering hesitantly, "Hayden, Aunt Lilith, and Mom all mean well. Don''t be upset with them."


    The tension on Hayden''s face eased. "I won''t."


    "Good, then." Ivy was relieved. "I think the girl Aunt Lilith brought with her looks pretty. She has a sharp sense for beauty."


    "We don''t have anymon interests." Hayden felt no problem expressing himself to his sister.


    "Hayden, you didn''t even try talking to her!" For some reason, Ivy was reminded of Lucas.


    Lucas remained silent on the first day she had been assigned to him. Just like Hayden, Lucas was a lone wolf but had a kind heart.


    "Hayden, I once knew someone who disliked strangers just as much as you do. I didn''t have anything inmon with him either, but we were put under circumstances where we had tomunicate... Slowly but surely, we found a way to talk to each other." Ivy wanted Hayden to ovee his difficulties and try tomunicate more with strangers.


    "Ivy, do you think I should get a girlfriend as well?" Hayden asked.


    "If that''s what you want. I just want you to be happy!" Ivy smiled. "Why did you bring it up with Mom this morning"


    "Mom said that I will understand how she feels once I have children of my own, so I realized that I will never know how my parents feel until I be a parent myself."


    "I think she is right, but you can''t have children just because you want to know how your parents feel!" Ivy was stunned by his logic. "Once you have kids, you will be held ountable for them."


    "I know."


    Hayden was wealthy enough to raise a hundred children without breaking a sweat.


    In the afternoon, Lilith apanied Avery to select the gifts for guests as they needed more variety.


    "I went to One of my friend''s


    weddings once and there was this


    aromatic oil in the guest''s gift pack that smelled amazing," Lilith said. "Should I ask my friend where she bought it?" Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Will perfume work as well?" Avery happened to walk past a shelf of cosmetic products.


    "Sure, but the cheap ones smell horrible, and the ones that are good are expensive."


    "It''s fine. This is La''s wedding, and we don''t care how much it costs," Avery said.


    "Haha! It''s simple to make everyone happy. Just give each of the guests a gold bar," Lilith teased. Avery froze at her words.


    She had discussed the subject with


    Elliot, but he was not entirely pleased with all the gifts she mentioned and thought that they were far too cheap to emphasize how much they valued their


    daughter.


    "If we are giving the guests gold bars, I''m sure Elliot won''t object to it," Avery thought.


    "Avery, you can''t be seriously


    considering it, can you?" Lilith''s heart


    raced when Avery did not respond.


    "Even if you are rich, you can''t just


    throw away your money like that, right?"


    "Maybe I should speak to your brother."


    Lilith shrugged. "Go ahead. He is definitely going to say yes, and this is definitely going viral on the inteter."


    Avery took out her phone and called Elliot to tell him about the idea.


    "Sure," Elliot said without hesitation. "Make sure to carve Eric and La''s names on them along with the words ''with all blessings''." Avery was instantly rendered speechless.
