"lI saw Layla’s photo before, and | think she looks like Elliot as well," Ruby argued. ” How else would you explain why my daughter looks like Layla?" Ben was rendered speechless. He did not know what to say or how he could begin to explain the situation.

I want her to look more like Elliot." "Ruby, about the n| gave this baby... Why don't you change it up a bit?" Ben glanced at Ruby. "I chere to see the baby and also to tell you what Elliot thinks." Ruby waited quietly for what he was about to say.
"Elliot will not acknowledge this baby as his child, nor does he want her to have the Foster name, so you should nher Gould instead!" Ben stared directly at her." Ivy Gould sounds great, too." Ruby's eyes reddened. "Do | have to change it?" "I advise that you do. Trust me, insisting on naming her Foster will only make Elliot resent her more. He might not dislike her so much if she inherits your family ninstead," he said. "He was quite upset over this a couple of days back. | showed him the photo, and he knows that your daughter looks like Layla, but that still doesn't change his loyalty to Avery and their marriage." Ruby seemed to have shrunk at his words." He's not coming to seeand our child... If | take her to him in Aryadelle..." "Don't do that," Ben warned her. "Not now, at least. Before something happens to his relationship with Avery, he is definitely not going to see you and lvy. If you insist, you two will get hurt." "Alright." Tears welled up in her eyes. "Ben, when are you going to leave?" "lI don't know, but | don't plan on staying here for long," he said.
"Can you just stay here for a couple of days with Ivy? | feel like you won't cback again once you leave," Ruby choked on her voice but struggled to continue, "Maybe giving birth to Ivy was a mistake after all."

It would not be overly awkward for him to stay here. He had cto see lvy, so staying here would be more convenient for him.
"I hope I'm not intruding." "How would you be intruding? | would appreciate it if you can cto see Ivy every year." Ruby responded with gratitude.
"As long as you keep your head down, | can csee you every year." Ben gazed down at Ivy and said, "lvy is so adorable. Just like Layla."
