"We will come back tomorrow, then. If you still like it tomorrow, we will buy it." Layla wanted to take Ivy to a few more stores so that she would have the best dress.
Ivy nodded, before changing back to her own clothes.
The two exited the store and Layla took Ivy to a barbeque restaurant.
"I don't think you've had a barbeque since you came home, have you?" Layla giggled. "Our parents really value their health in recent years, but Dad never quite liked barbeque. He thinks that it's not nutritious and unsanitary. He has always preferred plainer food, and Mom is slightly better. She could take spicy food from time to time."
Ivy had been spending most time with her parents and all meals she had taken were balanced meals and she was content with it, as even nutritious meals could be delicious. However, the moment she heard the word 'barbeque', her mouth started salivating.
"What about Hayden?" Ivy asked.
"Hayden is just like Dad. The two of them were nemeses and Hayden hated Dad for a really long time, only to end up becoming the exact replica of Dad. They even have the same taste for food," Layla mocked. "Robert and I are normal compared to them so we always sneak out for barbeques."
Amused, Ivy asked, "should we call Robert along, then?"
"Just the two of us." Layla glanced through the menu and asked, "do you want ice-cream? The ice-cream here is great, too!"
Ivy nodded without hesitation. "Won't you get a stomach-ache from eating barbeque and ice-cream at the same time?"
"I've done so multiple times and I've been fine! Maybe I just have a strong stomach. You can wait for a bit after you finish your food later before having the ice-cream."
"Sure."
After ordering, Layla pointed at the scenery outside the window. "Look at that building with a globe on top..."
Ivy stared into the distance and spotted the building.
