"That won't be necessary. I'll see how things go when I meet them," Lucas said firmly. "Lucas, don't be afraid. While we might not be on their level, we can't appear weak either. You have to show confidence. Otherwise, they might look down on you," Caspian said. Lucas remained silent. Caspian changed his approach. "All right. Just be polite when you meet them. Don't act arrogantly in front of them. After all, they're way ahead of us." "You should go to sleep." "I can't sleep! I'm definitely going to have insomnia after hearing what you just said. Hayden Tate is my idol, you know?" Caspian protested. "I'm going to sleep." With that, Lucas hung up the phone. The next morning, there was a loud knocking on Lucas' front door. Still half asleep, Lucas got out of bed and opened the door. Caspian immediately walked in. "Lucas, why are you still sleeping? How can you sleep at a time like this? I didn't sleep a wink last night, and I still can't sleep now," Caspian said around

Ivy chuckled. "I don't need you to tell me that!" Caspian laughed. "All right, then! Just wait at the hotel! We will come by later." "Sure!" After ending the call, Caspian turned to look at Lucas. "Get Ivy to give you a few pointers later. The two of us have horrible taste, and she is better at picking clothes." "Did you really have to wake her up this early in the morning?" Lucas asked. "Ivy wasn't upset. She was quite excited when she heard that we were going shopping!" "She wouldn’t show it even if she was upset," Lucas retorted. "Ivy isn't like that! Besides, it's not really that early! She may be a lady of high status, but she has a great temper," Caspian said. Lucas fell silent and turned his focus back to his food. After breakfast, Caspian dragged Lucas to the hotel Ivy was staying in. Ivy was in the lobby and approached them with a smile when she spotted them. Lucas handed Ivy the bag of food they had packed for her. Ivy took the breakfast and said, "Tha

Ivy handed the clothes to Lucas. "Go try these on and see if they fit." Lucas headed into the fitting room, and Ivy waited on the couch, feeling content and buoyant. The salesperson took the opportunity to talk to Ivy. "Your boyfriend is so handsome and obedient. I envy you!" "He hasn't always been this obedient, but his temper has improved greatly compared to how he was in the past," Ivy said. In the past, Lucas was her employer, and she was his servant. Though Lucas would throw temper tantrums occasionally, he would always end up listening to her so long as she stood her ground. In general, Lucas was a reasonable person. "You two have just graduated, right? You look so young!" the salesperson said. "Yeah!" "Would you like to check out a few outfits for yourself? We sell matching couple outfits!" Ivy beamed. "Sure! Show me the couple outfits!" The salesperson immediately led Ivy to where the matching outfits were. Lucas walked out of the fitting room, and Ivy immed

"Don't start calling him that!" Lucas protested. "Hahaha! I have faith in you! Ivy loves you so much that she is sure to compliment you! After being separated for years, I'm sure her family feels guilty about being apart from her. Even if they aren't pleased with her choice of partner, they will let her do as she pleases. We can bet on that!" "I don't want to bet. Just leave already! I'm tired!" Lucas said. He had been woken up early that morning by Caspian and spent the whole day out with Ivy, so he was drained. "Don't be such a wuss!" Caspian said. "Leave, already! Don't come by my house again tomorrow morning! As a matter of fact, don't ever do it again!" "All right! I will come to see you after your brother-in-law leaves, okay?" Caspian said. "I told you not to call him that!" "All right, all right!" Caspian said. Meanwhile, Hayden and Shelly were walking out of the Taronia airport. Shelly held onto Hayden's arm and said, "When you meet Ivy later, please, whatev

"All right, I'm on my way," Lucas said. Ivy hung up the phone in relief. A little while later, Hayden and Shelly arrived at the hotel. Ivy immediately greeted them with a smile. "Hayden, Shelly. Did you enjoy your honeymoon?" "We had a great time! We didn't check any travel guides for Taronia, though, so you'll have to be our guide!" Shelly said. Ivy scratched her head. "I haven't been around Taronia either. I'll ask Lucas when he arrives. You should go check in first. I'll wait here for Lucas. He should be here soon." Just then, Ivy looked toward the hotel entrance and saw Lucas walking in. Excitedly, she called out, "Lucas!" Lucas quickened his pace and approached them. Hayden went to the front desk to check in while Shelly and Ivy stood together, waiting for Lucas. Lucas walked up to them, and Ivy immediately introduced Shelly to him. "Lucas, this is my sister-in-law." Lucas greeted politely, "Hello." Shelly could not help but chuckle. "Just call me by my name,

Shelly nodded. "All right. We are unpacking now, and Ivy and Lucas are waiting for us in the hotel restaurant on the first floor." Avery chimed in, "Lucas seems a bit reserved. Try to strike up a conversation with him later." Shelly smiled and replied, "Sure thing." After the call ended, Hayden walked over to Shelly and said, "You guys are being too nice to Lucas. He might think it's easy to win us over. That's not a good thing." "I was just having a normal conversation with him downstairs, right?" Shelly argued. Hayden raised an eyebrow. "It was pretty clear it wasn't normal. You even had him call you by your name." Shelly chuckled as she explained, "It's normal for him to address me that way. He's the same age as Ivy, so it would be weird for him to address me any other way." "You're just being too nice to him," Hayden said. Shelly shrugged. "I'm like this with everyone! It's not just Lucas." "I know. What I mean is, you shouldn't be too friendly. After all, we're h

Ivy blushed. "I didn't play games before because my studies were so demanding. Now that I've graduated, I can learn to play." "There's no need to learn such a thing. Playing games is a waste of time," Hayden remarked. Ivy remained silent, and Lucas wondered if Hayden was picking on him. Shelly gently squeezed Hayden's hand, reminding him that he was being a bit harsh. "Well, playing games occasionally can be good," Shelly intervened. "It helps you relax. Although I don't play complex games, I enjoy simple ones, like matching and card games." Lucas managed a polite smile. He did not know how to respond or what to say because the games he was developing were nothing like what Shelly was describing. There seemed no way for him to continue the conversation with three people who did not play games. "Lucas, even though we don't understand games, I believe you can do well," Ivy encouraged. "Should we talk about something else?" Lucas suggested. Shelly laughed, breaking the t

After what Ivy said, Lucas added, "I want to focus on my career for now. Marriage is secondary until I become more successful." Hayden sneered. "Running a business isn't as simple as it seems. What if you fail or never achieve anything out of the ordinary?" "If that happens, I won't drag Ivy down," Lucas said. "At least you know your place." Ivy felt as though her cheeks were on fire. "Hayden, even if Lucas fails, I won't give up on him. I won't let him go just because of his financial state." Shelly grabbed Hayden's hand again, signaling to him to control his temper; he could be rude to others, but he could not be so demanding with Ivy. Ivy sensed that she was slightly out of line, and her tone eased. "Hayden, we shouldn’t judge people based on their wealth. Our family is rich enough, and there really aren't that many people out there who can compare to our financial state, so why does it matter how wealthy my partner is?" "Ivy is right. Love matters most. Even if we man
