Chapter 1012 Does It Make You Feel Burdened?


    Chapter 1012 Does it make you feel burdened?


    Aimee finished thest bite of her noodles and set down her bowl, looking at Patrick. "So, what are


    your thoughts now? Do you have any ns to open a restaurant?"


    Patrick handed Aimee a napkin to wipe her mouth before answering. "Honestly, I don''t have any


    specific ideas. I''ll be investing money and helping with the menu, but ultimately it will depend on


    their vision. Mika is very unpredictable and always exploring new things, so it''s probably best to


    discuss this with Ivy."


    "I think Damion wants all of us to invest in the restaurant and have Ivy as the main operator," Aimee


    said.


    "He doesn''t want Ivy to sacrifice her career for him or their family by leaving thepany," Patrick


    exined. "From his perspective, he wants to n ahead for her future."


    Aimee nodded in agreement. "That''s why Mika and I suggested that we don''t make any final


    decisions yet and keep Ivy excited about this project. During the nning phase, Mika can


    handle it while giving time for Ivy and Damion''s family nning. After that, she can hand over full


    control of operations when she returns."


    "I''m okay with that," Patrick said. "If that''s how Damion wants to support her, then we should help


    him out."


    "Great! We can discuss everything in detail during our trip at sea," Aimee suggested.

    Patrick remained silent but was touched by Damion''s thoughtfulness.


    They all knew that Ivy had always felt inferior due to their differences in status.


    Now even though she was married into wealthier circumstances than before, there were still some


    sensitive issues between them especially if they were directly involved without considering how she


    might feel about it.


    If Damion just opened up a restaurant for Ivy without consulting anyone else, then it would only add


    more pressure on her since she would feel like he was trying too hard or didn''t trust her abilities


    enough.


    By doing this together as friends, they could tell Ivy they just wanted an easy investment opportunity


    without having too much responsibility themselves. And it can let her take charge of making money


    from running things, which would give them more time off instead of feeling like they needed


    someone else managing everything, because they couldn''t handle it themselves.


    The difference between this and Damion directly giving the restaurant to Ivy was that doing so will


    not make Ivy feel that Damion disliked her for being idle at home and not having her own career.


    "It never urred me until now how cleverly scheming Damion can be sometimes," Patrick


    remarked, finally breaking his silence on what he thought about all this.


    Aimee smiled and said, "That just means he really loves Ivy. A man only puts in so much effort


    when he truly loves a woman. Otherwise, why make things soplicated? Just use money to


    solve the problem. It''s easier."


    Patrick said, "I suddenly feel envious of him."


    Aimee looked at Patrick skeptically and asked, "Envious of what?"


    "Envious that he has the chance to go through all these twists and turns. You haven''t given me that


    opportunity," Patrick replied with a hint of grievance in his tone.


    Upon hearing this, Aimee burst outughing. She lifted her hand to hook around Patrick''s neck and


    said, "What can you do? Is your wife too excellent for you? Do you feel burdened?"


    Patrick responded by saying, "The burden is fine. I just feel like something is missing, as if I''m not


    giving enough to you."


    From the beginning, Patrick had felt lost on how to proceed.
