"Shush, Kiara. Your sister is still sleeping!" Wesley whispered, before handing the gifts to her.Kiara pouted and accepted the gifts."Rose and Irene are sleeping?" Avery whispered.Wesley nodded."Let's talk outside, then!" Avery did not want to wake them. Had she known that Irene was asleep, she would not hurry to Wesley's house with Elliot."They won't wake up!" Kiara muttered. "They just fell asleep. They went outside to watch the sunrise on their own and didn't call me along! I'm so mad at them!"Shea tapped Kiara on the shoulder. "Rose can take you the next time. There's nothing to be mad about.""Oh... So they went to see the sunrise... They sure know how to have fun!" Avery chuckled and sat down on the couch.Shea noticed that Elliot's shirt was drenched and said, "Big Brother, why don't you take a shower? You can change into Wesley's clothes.""Elliot, go shower! Since we are already here, I'm sure that you would want to stay." Avery felt much calmer."Yeah, I'll ta

She wanted to agree to Avery's request, but wanted to respect Irene's wishes at the same time."Once Irene is awake, I will talk to her, okay? I don't know what she might feel about this or how she would react... but I'm glad. If she really is your daughter, we will be able to play together all the time from now on," Rose said excitedly."Yeah.""I'll drink some water and go back to my room, then," Rose said."Sure. Talk to her and let me know if something happens. You can message me, too." Avery was worried that Irene might not want to see them and had an alternative plan.After finishing her water, Rose returned to her room. Avery went to sit on the couch and waited anxiously, while Elliot paced back and forth in the living room.Inside the room, Irene opened her eyes as soon as Rose walked in."Did I wake you?" Rose walked over to the bed with a smile. "Are you waking up? Thirsty?"Irene rubbed her eyes and sat up. "I'm awake."Rose handed her a glass of water. "Irene, we h

He faced all sorts of troubles in his life, but he was powerless when it came to Irene.He was afraid that being too aggressive would scare Irene.However, there was no progress if he stayed at home."Dad, did you stay up all night? You have bloodshot eyes…" Layla took out a small compact mirror from her purse. She pointed the mirror at her dad. "Go rest with mom after you eat. The mind of a girl should be handled by a relatable older sister like myself. Leave it to me. I promise I'll make things right."Elliot glanced at his daughter and asked, "How are you going to talk to her?""I haven't thought about it. I'll see when I meet her! She's unwilling to acknowledge us over one reason, she thinks we're bad. So, uf she knows we're not what she pictured, she'll change her mind." Layla sat next to her dad, and told him her opinion. "Dad, am I right?"Elliot nodded and said, "You're right. Are you planning to see her later?"Layla replied, "I'll visit her when the results are out! Le

"After you've been transferred, Ruby killed my mom's classmate, so my parents didn't know you were their daughter." Layla added, "Then, they looked all across the world for you after finding out the truth. Your real name is Ivy."Irene instantly had clarity after listening to Layla."What about the murder case of the Goulds? Who did that?" That was the only question Irene had at that moment."Their buddy circle consists of seven men in total, with Gary Gould as the leader of the pack. Then, a few died. After Gary passed away, the rest of them had their eyes on the Gould property, so they worked together to murder the Goulds." Layla said casually, "Money is the root of all evil. A lot of people will commit unspeakable crimes over greed."Irene went silent after knowing why.Layla picked up the menu and started to order.She passed the menu to Irene after ordering a few signature dishes."I'm not hungry." Irene pushed the menu back to her."Would you like something to drink? They

He wondered if she had thought it through a little the night before. Wesley knocked on the guestroom door.Rose opened the door. She was inside with Irene."Irene, your eldest brother is here," Wesley stood by the door and said to Irene, "He is usually in Bridgedale. He returned just to see you."The day before, Layla had simply introduced the family members to Irene, so Irene soon knew that the eldest brother was referring to Hayden Tate.Irene was completely unfamiliar with Hayden. She only knew that he was a great genius. At the thought of him coming from Bridgedale just to see her, her heart started beating wildly."Irene, Hayden is extremely nice. Don't be afraid. He only looks a little fierce. Well, not fierce. Hayden is not fierce at all. He just doesn't like to smile, but he is a really nice person," Rose softly explained to Irene. At the same time, she sent Irene out of the room.Hayden was standing in the living area, looking in Wesley's direction.Soon, Rose accompa
