"My brother has been upset as well. He only feels a little happier when he sees the children," Ivy said.


    "Ivy, I feel like I''m not brave enough. I struggle internally every day. On the one hand, I feel like I did the right thing by breaking up with him, but on the other hand, I regret it. I can''t tell anyone I regret it." "Shelly, I understand how you feel. My brother is a really great man, so don''t give up on him. If he thought you weren''t good enough for him, he wouldn''t have chosen to marry you." Shelly took a deep breath. "I know. When we get back, I''ll talk to him properly."


    "Communication is key in a rtionship!" Ivy said while taking a bite of her food. "When my parents were young, they used to argue a lot. Even though I haven''t been in a romantic rtionship, I feel like when people are young, their capacity for understanding one another isn''t strong. A rtionship is strengthened by staying together despite all the arguments. Look at my parents: they don''t argue anymore. In the past few years, I''ve only seen them argue once."


    Shelly was very curious. "How did they argue?"


    Ivy held back augh. "It happened after someone delivered Austin to our house on your behalf. At the time, the person didn''t mention that the child was my brother''s, so my mom thought Austin was my dad''s illegitimate child. They had a huge argument and almost got divorced."


    Shelly blushed guiltily. "I probably didn''t make it clear to that person at the time."


    "They only argued for a few days. After the truth was revealed, their rtionship became even stronger. Hahaha!" Ivy replied. "Two people who truly love each other won''t part ways over such minor difficulties and misunderstandings."


    Three dayster, Ivy and Shelly returned to Aryadelle.


    Upon arriving at Elliot''s mansion, Shelly first hugged her twins.


    "Shelly, you''ve lost quite a bit of weight! Make sure you eat moreter," Avery said.


    "Aunty, I''m sorry," Shelly apologized to Avery while holding her daughter.


    "There''s nothing to apologize for. We understand how you feel. Your unequal status with Hayden can easily lead to you overthinking, and we should have paid more attention to you. You need time to adjust. You can''t suffer in silence likest time without telling us the reason." Avery spoke gently.


    "Okay."


    After Hayden returned, everyone sat in the dining room and started eating dinner.


    Avery spoke first. "You mentioned wanting

    Avery nced at him. "What about the cafe?"


    "That won''t affect the development of her cafe," Elliot said.


    Hayden, who had remained silent the entire time, spoke up: "I think Dad is right."


    "Sure, I will do as Uncle Elliot says," Shelly said.


    Avery chucked. "Shelly, you can try it

    "Thank you," Shelly said.


    "Shelly, why don''t you call your parents and get them toe over here again, so we can set a date for your wedding."


    "Aunty Avery, I need to talk to Haydenter tonight. I haven''t apologized to him about what happened yet."


    "I forgive you," Hayden said.
