"| see! Hayden, what do you think?" Robert turned to Hayden.
"| think your sister has to be insane to buy a place like this."
Both Robert and Layla were rendered speechless.
"| think it's a nice place! Why would you think that she is insane?" Ivy asked in confusion. "There is plenty of natural light, and she chose the right
floor. It's not too far high up, and you can still enjoy the view. Most importantly, you can see Layla's office from the balcony." Ivy proceeded to list all
the things she liked about the apartment.
Elliot glanced at Ivy with a gentle look on his face, and Hayden was silenced completely.

Avery chuckled. "Your dad and brother have never lived in a place this size before, that's why they don't like it. They've never suffered in their lives.
They are just picky."
"But this is Layla's apartment. All that matters is whether she likes it!" [vy mumbled.
"That's right, Ivy! | am moving out to be independent, not to have fun.” Layla walked over, threw an arm around Ivy's shoulders, and turned to look at
Elliot and Hayden. "Dad, Hayden, don't worry about me. | will never grow if | don't suffer a little.”
Ivy sighed and thought to herself, "It's such a perfect apartment. How is living here going to be suffering?”
Avery cleared her throat and changed the subject. "Layla, hire scleaners to clean the place! | touched the window just now, and it's coated with
dust."
"Oh, I will do it myself later." Layla took out her phone and showed everyone the screen. "I've ordered a recipe book, and it will be delivered soon.
Just wait and see my grand transformation!"
Elliot, Avery, Hayden, and Robert were all rendered speechless.
"| support you, Layla!" Ivy said.
"Yeah! Once | learn how to cook, | will cook for you all! By the way, didn't Uncle Mike promise to take you out? Are you going?"
"I don't want to trouble them, but it seems like they really want to takeoutside, so | guess I'm going!"
"Relax! Just think of Uncle Mike as your second father. There's no need to act too carefully around him."

Ivy nodded obediently.
"Where would you like to go?"
Ivy thought about it and said, "I want to go to Edelweiss. | heard that the auroras there are amazing.”
"That depends on your luck. You might not see anything."
"Yeah, | will try my luck. If | cacross the auroras, | will take photos and show them to you once | get back."
Ivy wanted to go to Edelweiss not simply to see auroras, but also because she wanted to see the country that Lucas lived in. It was a shthat she
no longer had Lucas's number, and since she had discontinued her number in Tarotin, she had no means of informing Lucas of her new number
either.
She did not tell anyone about Lucas because he was like a shooting star that had brightened her life for a brief moment, and she would sometimes
wonder if all those memories were just something that she had imagined, and Lucas had never truly existed.
