Ivy ate her meal from start to finish without ever looking up or listening to how Rod responded.Â
After finishing eating, she was about to leave when Line suddenly received several messages:Â
It was Yvette’s payment, two hundred thousand dollars, not a penny less.Â
Ivy lifted her head and happened to catch the challenging glint hidden in her smile.Â
Immediately after, another message was sent.Â
“I really liked the photos you took yesterday, especially the ones with the kisses, they were beautiful. I will definitely send them to Rod for appreciation. Your hard work will not be in vain!”Â
Ivy replied to a message.Â
And then I received all the transfers and deposited them into my account.Â
She looked at the account balance of exactly thirty million dollars and smiled softly.Â
While they were still eating and not paying attention to her, Ivy went upstairs to change her clothesÂ
and hailed a car.Â
She said goodbye to a few of her best friends today, fearing that if she didn’t leave soon, she wouldÂ
be late.Â
Hastily or slowly, Ivy arrived at the clubhouse at twelve o’clock sharp.Â
A few girlfriends exchanged a few greetings, their words filled with reluctance.Â

“Ivy, are you really going to study abroad? How long are you going for? Will you come back?”Â
“Well, three years passed, and then I went over there to find a job and gradually settled down. I probably won’t come back.”Â
Upon hearing this, the three girls all showed expressions of surprise.Â
“What about your brother then? He is here in town, and you settled in Cyrenth. Weren’t you two planning to get married in the future?”Â
Ivy and Rod’s affair, without hiding it from them, after all, this relationship was not acceptable in society. She was afraid of keeping it to herself all day and getting sick, so she told a few close girlfriends.Â
Now, hearing them ask like this, she tugged at her lips and said, “I had let go, I no longer likedÂ

him.”Â
Although she spoke lightly, her close friends had witnessed her pain and struggle all along, so they naturally knew what she was going through. Although they didn’t know what had happened to make her so determined, everyone was on her side.Â
“It’s better to break up! This way, you don’t have to worry about your mom being sad.”Â
“Yeah, yeah, there are so many handsome guys in Cyrenth, are you afraid of not finding a boyfriend? By the way, I haven’t been to Cyrenth yet, Ivy, remember to video chat with me more after you go, I also want to feed the pigeons in the square.‘Â
Listening to the comforting words of her girlfriends, Ivy’s face slowly began to show a smile.Â
Yeah, she was about to start a new chapter in her life.Â
Why bother to worry about these past events again?Â
In the following period of time, Rod did not come back.Â
Ivy didn’t care where he went.Â
In the last few days before leaving, she stayed by her mother’s side.Â
The mother and daughter went shopping together and took photos. They ate a lot of long–awaited delicious food together, and her mother also told her many things to pay attention to when livingÂ
alone.Â
Time slowly passed by in this warm and ordinary moment.Â
Five days before leaving, Ivy’s mother accompanied Rod’s father on a business trip.Â
Ivy received a phone call from her aunt at home, who said that her father’s cemetery needed to be relocated due to government planning, and asked the two of them, mother and daughter, to go backÂ
and handle it.Â
Ever since Ivy’s mother married into the Archer family, the other members of the Archer family had always had some reservations about her. Ivy didn’t want her mother to be gossiped about behind her back because of this, so she decided to go alone.Â
Ivy hurriedly called someone to buy a very good cemetery plot.Â
Just as I was about to leave for the cemetery to collect the ashes, I unexpectedly ran into Rod at theÂ
doorstep.Â
After asking her where she was going, he furrowed his brow and held her hand tightly, “Do youÂ

really consider me your boyfriend? Your father is my father too. Why didn’t you ask me to accompany you for such an important matter? How can a young girl like you handle it alone?”Â
“Get in the car, I will go with you!”Â
