Three years later…
Ivy and Robert stood at the airport in Aryadelle, anxiously waiting.
"It's been three years! Your boyfriend is finally here to see you!" Robert exclaimed before shifting the conversation. "He's not here to break up with you, is he? After all, you haven't seen each other in three years. A lot can change."
Ivy sighed, "Robert, can you not jinx it? Although we haven't met in three years, we talk on the phone and video call every day!"
Robert quipped, "Digital romance."
"Anyway, he promised me that he's going to settle down in Aryadelle this time, and we won't be apart again," Ivy said.
Robert smirked. "He's got a strong sense of pride. When he meets Dad later, they might not hit it off, and he'll buy a ticket to leave tonight!"
Feeling helpless, Ivy was at a loss for words.
Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Ivy!"
Ivy immediately looked over to the source of the voice and saw Lucas stepping out of the exit, dragging his suitcase behind him.
A smile spread across Ivy's face, and she ran towards Lucas.
The two hugged each other eagerly. Just then, Robert received a call from his mother.
"Have you picked him up? Did he change his mind and decide not to come after all?" Avery asked.
"Mom, you're overthinking. He just came out, and now he's hugging Ivy. You and Dad should get ready. We'll be home soon!" Robert assured her.
In Elliot's mansion, Avery hung up and shared the news with Elliot.
Elliot went to the bathroom to check on his appearance.
Avery stood by the bathroom door, laughing. "You don't need to check anything. You look dashing!"
"Should I act assertively in front of him?" Elliot asked.
"Lucas is important to Ivy, and he's willing to settle in Aryadelle for her, so why should we be hostile? Do you want to upset him? He's the founder of Black Night Technology now, and he doesn't rely on us for a living! Just treat him the way you treated Shelly before," she said.
"All right."
An hour later, Robert arrived home, bringing Ivy and Lucas with him.
Avery warmly took Lucas' arm. "Lucas, traveling long-distance must be tiring! Come in and sit!"
