The next day, Ivy was still sleeping when Damion woke her up.
She grumbled as she rolled out of bed, looking like a sleepy little thing that hadn't fully woken up yet.
Damion chuckled at the tuft of hair sticking up on top of her head and asked, "Why so unhappy?"
Ivy pouted and replied, "I've been staying up too late these past few days."
Damion laughed again and said, "You young people can't handle it."
Ivy pouted some more and muttered under her breath, "Well I haven't stayed up late much before this anyway."
But he couldn't really blame her for that.
"Alright then. I'll let you sleep when we get back. For now though, go freshen up. We're going out," Damion said.
Even though Ivy could be a bit stubborn sometimes, she was obedient around Damion.
She went to freshen up and change clothes. She felt a bit more awake after that and didn't have any lingering bad moods as they sat down at the breakfast table together.
Looking at the food on the table in front of them, Ivy asked what was on her mind, "Did you make all this yourself?"
Damion laughed again and flicked his finger against Ivy's head playfully before saying teasingly, "Do you think I'm that amazing?"
Ivy tilted her head to one side with a smile on her face as she replied jokingly, "Well, to prevent your ego from getting too big... no comment."
Damion chuckled lightly before admitting, "Nope! These were delivered by someone else."
Ivy didn't know what was wrong with her. When she heard Damion's words, she actually thought he was just an ordinary person. But as soon as this idea came to mind, Ivy almost choked on her food.
According to what she had seen in TV dramas, it was normal for Damion not to be able to cook. He should be a young master who could get anything he wanted without lifting a finger.
Damion saw Ivy biting her fork and wondered what she was thinking about. He raised his hand and gave her a light tap on the head before saying, "Stop thinking about nonsense and eat your food properly."
Ivy obediently focused on eating again, showing off how well-behaved and docile she could be.
After breakfast, Damion took Ivy out with him.
Curious now, Ivy asked him where they were going. "To visit an elder," replied Damion.
Instantly, she sat up straighter in her seat with a nervous expression on her face - meeting elders always made her anxious - Damion turned his head and laughed at the sight of it all. "Why are you so scared?" he teased.
Biting down hard on her lip, Ivy replied softly, "I'm just a little nervous."
"It's not like we're meeting my parents or anything," said Damion jokingly.
Feeling close to tears now from frustration at how lightly he seemed to take things that worried her so much, Ivy couldn't understand why everything seemed so easy for him while every little thing felt like such an ordeal for herself!
Damion said, "But you can also think of it as meeting the parents."
Ivy was speechless.
Although she knew Damion was just teasing her, she really felt like jumping out of the car now.
Damion continued, "Although Camdyn is not my grandfather, he has watched me grow up since I was born. He's no different from my own grandfather and maybe even cares about me more than my grandfather does."
After all, Damion didn't spend much time with his grandfather and didn't know how he would feel about him.
Ivy didn't understand all this but Damion's words made her realize that the person they were going to meet was important to him.
Even though Ivy understood that Damion was joking when he said they were meeting the parents, she still felt like crying.
Her past experiences had taught her to fear meeting elders because she never knew how to handle them properly. She had already imagined a terrible scenario in her head.
