The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love novel Chapter 1934

Rosalynn gave Erica a gentle squeeze on the shoulder, "I know it sounds cliche, but... I'm sure Mary wouldn't want you to be this unhappy and upset over her."
"Definitely." Erica chuckled a bit, tears trickling down her cheeks, which she gently wiped away. "She was always such a sweetheart."
Rosalynn nodded in agreement.
Ivy, clutching her bunny doll, sleepily trudged downstairs, intending to make the most of the last days of summer break by snoozing in.
"I'll sit here for a bit, clear my head. You go look after Ivy," Erica said softly.
Rosalynn understood that Erica probably needed some time to herself.
So she nodded and went over to Ivy.
Cory, the early bird, had breakfast with Wayne, so Ivy had to eat on her own.
Rosalynn sat across from her, noticing her gloomy demeanor. "What's up? Didn't sleep well?"
Ivy was absentmindedly pushing the fresh berries around her plate. "Mommy, did I do something wrong? Liam's ignoring me."
Ever since coming back from Norhaven, Liam hadn't replied to any of Ivy's messages.
Rosalynn was taken aback, "He's ignoring you?"
Ivy looked dejected. "He didn't respond to any of my messages, whether it's about homework or just asking how he's settling in."
Hearing this, Rosalynn suddenly recalled that Liam hadn't responded to her last message either. But she had been so caught up with all the daily chores that she hadn't paid much attention to it.
"Liam just moved there, he probably has a lot on his plate. Maybe he just hasn't had the time," Rosalynn tried to soothe her.
"But what if he just doesn't like me anymore and doesn't want to talk to me?" Ivy looked up at her mom. She’s been cherishing every friend she had made since moving back to the H Country.
More so, Liam had saved her life and helped her improve her studies, even getting her to be the top of her grade.
To her, Liam was really, really important.
Rosalynn thought for a moment.
In the end, she didn't sugar-coat it for Ivy and said gently yet seriously, "That's Liam's choice, right? You should respect his decision, and don't blame yourself for it."
"But why did he choose to do so? I can't figure out what I did to upset him," Ivy muttered, feeling wronged.
Rosalynn looked at her, "Did you bully Liam? Did you do anything to hurt him?"
"Never! Granny Hilaria said we should respect others, and I respect Liam!" Ivy quickly replied.
"That's good then," Rosalynn shrugged, "As long as you have a clear conscience. After all, you can't control what others think or do, right?"
Ivy sighed again. She understood all of it, but she still felt a bit down and upset.
"Mommy, without Liam, I won't be the top of my grade anymore," she mumbled after a while.
"You're giving up just like that?" Rosalynn's voice was a whisper, "If I were you, I wouldn't let my grades drop just because Liam's gone. It's as if you can't study without him. Ivy, can't you do it without him?"
Ivy looked up at Rosalynn, and suddenly got excited, "How could I not? Of course I can!"
Rosalynn held back a laugh, then nodded, "I think so too. So don't give up, okay? Keep going!"
"Okay!" Ivy nodded, then dove into her meal.
While eating, she kept muttering, "I'm my parent's daughter, how could I not do it?"
Her dad once told her that Liam had left home at a young age to get into the world's top schools!
If they were to meet again in the future, and Liam was at a top university while she was lagging behind...
That's not happening!
After breakfast, Ivy grabbed her books and headed to the doghouse.
She read while keeping Max company.
