Ivy was starving, so she inhaled the pasta.
Avery immediately served Ivy a bowl of soup and said, "Have ssoup as well. Be careful not to choke." "Okay... Mom, I can eat a horse! I just get so hungry after work."

"Sure! What do we need to buy?" Ivy decided to take a break from eating for a moment.
"We usually get plants, decorations, and lights... Oh, we need to get fireworks as well. We would play with fireworks every year during New Year's. We will have to change the tthat we do it, though. You need to work at night, so we will release the firework before you go to work or after you chome." Ivy felt moved by her words. "Let's do it before I go to work! You should all go to sleep after that." "It's hard to sleep during New Year's Eve. There's a plaza outside our area, right? Fireworks would go off throughout the night during New Year's Eve." "Wouldn't that bother the neighborhood?" Ivy was confused.
"It only happens once a year, so people just let it go." "Oh. Are we going to play with fireworks in that plaza as well?" "We will just do it in our own yard," Avery explained with a smile. "Our neighbors' houses are a distance from ours and they would release fireworks as well." "Where will Layla spend New Year's?" Reminded that Hayden would be hsoon, Ivy thought of Layla.
Both Avery and Elliot fell silent as they had not discussed the matter with Layla, nor had Layla informed them about where she would be spending New Year's.
Since Layla was not married to Eric and neither did hey organize a wedding, Layla was supposed to return hfor New Year's, but they simply could not apply traditional customs to the relationship between Layla and Eric.

Ever since she had started working, she realized that her appetite had increased.
After lunch, she returned to her room and sent a text to Layla, before going through the unread texts she received.
Harry had replied to her message.
[Okay, Lwon't tell them. I will look et into this. Even if we can't punish the culprit because of the lack of evidence, I won't let this pass.] Content belongs to en.swAfter reading Harry's text, Ivy noticed that she received a friend request on her social media account and opened it to find that it was from Anthony.
Anthony's show was scheduled after Ivy's and though he left work later than she did, he woke up earlier.
