His Eagle Eyes on Me

"Don't start calling him that!" Lucas protested.

"Hahaha! I have faith in you! Ivy loves you so much that she is sure to compliment you! After being separated for years, I'm sure her family feels guilty about being apart from her. Even if they aren't pleased with her choice of partner, they will let her do as she pleases. We can bet on that!"

"I don't want to bet. Just leave already! I'm tired!" Lucas said.

He had been woken up early that morning by Caspian and spent the whole day out with Ivy, so he was drained.

"Don't be such a wuss!" Caspian said.

"Leave, already! Don't come by my house again tomorrow morning! As a matter of fact, don't ever do it again!"

"All right! I will come to see you after your brother-in-law leaves, okay?" Caspian said.

"I told you not to call him that!"

"All right, all right!" Caspian said.

Meanwhile, Hayden and Shelly were walking out of the Taronia airport. Shelly held onto Hayden's arm and said, "When you meet Ivy later, please, whatever you do, don't say anything rash. You must control your emotions."

Hayden replied calmly, "Why are you so worried?"

Shelly swallowed nervously. "You've been having trouble sleeping these past few days, and when people don't sleep well, their emotions can easily get out of control. I'm afraid you might say something awful when you meet Lucas."

"That won't happen. Although Lucas is not to my liking, he hasn't married Ivy yet, and he hasn't done anything to harm her. I won't do anything to him," Hayden reassured her.

"Try not to be too critical of him. From what I've gathered from Ivy, Lucas is very proud," Shelly added.

Hayden looked at Shelly. "Did Ivy ask you to say this?"

Shelly shook her head. "Ivy trusts you and doesn't think you'll bully Lucas."

"Shelly, how can you help the outsider? Do you really think I can't tell you are trying to help Lucas?" Hayden protested.

Shelly smiled brightly. "Honey, it's

just that I believe we shouldn't judge others based on their

circumstances. Look at me. I'm not a match for you either, in terms of wealth and status, but no one in your family has ever looked down on

me. I just feel I can down on

Hayden countered, "You can't compare yourself to him. I can support you, but Ivy will endure hardships if Lucas isn't competent."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Hayden was not being stubborn or archaic. He simply could not maintain his composure when it came to his sister's happiness.

"Let's talk about this after we meet

Lucas! He's running his own company now, which means he is somewhat competent." Shelly had an incredibly positive attitude. en.swhovels.net

The two of them got into a taxi, and Shelly sent a message to Ivy.

Ivy was waiting in the hotel lobby.

When she saw Shelly's message, she immediately called Lucas and said nervously, "Lucas! My brother's here! Why don't you come over and have dinner with us?" "Did your brother even ask to see me? I'll come over when he wants to see me," Lucas said.

Ivy urged, "I think it's better if you take the initiative."

Lucas' heart started pounding rapidly. "Are you sure?" he asked.

"I'm sure! Hurry over to the hotel! We'll have dinner together later. I'm too scared to face my brother alone!" Ivy revealed her true reason for wanting him to come.
