"That's because you two rarely meet later on."
Ivy looked at her parents bickering, she spoke up at the right time, "Daddy, I think you're extremely nice. If you don't want to suffer, then don't do it! This is the way! Everyone has people that they like and don't like. I won't dislike you just because you don't like Uncle Mike."
"I don't dislike Uncle Mike. If I really don't like him, why would I let him get close to you all? Many years ago, he was very close to your mother, so there was a time when I didn't like him, but later on, I rarely quarrel with him anymore," Elliot explained to Ivy.
"Daddy, even if you don't explain it to me, I still like you," Ivy made Elliot swallow whatever he wanted to say next.
He blushed rather embarrassingly.
Ivy was so direct in expressing her feelings. It caught him a little off guard, yet he was secretly delighted.
"See, I told you. Your daughter won't despise you. Everyone has some issues!" Avery folded the clothes that Ivy was going to take with her into the luggage. She started mocking herself, "I have many issues too! I can't do the hard work anymore. If you can have a peaceful life, who would be willing to suffer? Although I don't hate anyone particularly, I can't be bothered to socialize…"
"Daddy, Mommy, you two are amazing," Ivy concluded, "Although I haven't been by your side for a long time, I can sense that you all are really nice people. I hope that I can be as great as you two in the future."
"Ivy, you'll be greater than us." Avery was hopeful. "You can survive under such harsh conditions, your tenacity and resilience will be with you and help you succeed."
In the evening, after Layla finished work, she went to the nearby supermarket to get some groceries.
It was the first day she moved out to stay. She wanted to make a meal for herself.
In the past at home, her three meals were prepared by servants. Even if she occasionally had the urge to cook, it would quickly vanish.
At that moment, she was staying alone. She could do whatever she wanted to do. She did not need to worry that she would be made fun of by others.
She planned to cook meat stew that night. That was because meat stew was the easiest. All she had to do was get some ingredients and some flavoring packets. Once it's cooked, she can eat it already. Also, it would not taste bad.
