His Eagle Eyes on Me
Chapter 3144

"Ivy, you're such a good girl. Your big brother was worried you might be going through a rebellious phase. After all, you've only been home three years. Although you usually appear obedient, he's concerned that it might all be an act."

Ivy could not help but burst into laughter. "I'm not that good of an actor. I was just as well-behaved before I came home. It's just my personality; it's in my genes."

"If that's the case, then the guy you like, Lucas, is probably a decent young man."

Frowning, Ivy considered Shelly's words. "His flaws are quite obvious. My parents and siblings don't think he's anything special. He's not good at communication, quite reserved, and even though he's started his own business, he hasn't achieved much."

"Personality issues are manageable so long as they're not matters of character. Look at your big brother; he's not much of a talker either. If you want to be with Lucas, the main issue is his capability. Your family would probably replace it hard to accept a mediocre man as your partner."

Ivy nodded. "But I'm quite ordinary, too."

"How so? You're exceptional! You're way better than me," Shelly said. "Your parents' expectations for a daughter-in-law and a son-in-law are definitely different."

"Shelly, I understand the reasoning. I think it's probably because I'm still young, so I'm being naive. I understand my family's realistic concerns, so I won't force Lucas to come to Aryadelle."

"I think he would definitely be willing to come to Aryadelle with you."

Ivy smiled. "Hopefully!"

Hayden and Shelly's wedding proceeded as planned.

Ivy could have been a bridesmaid, but due to her undisclosed identity, she ultimately did not become one.

Shelly did not shed a tear during the ceremony, but Ivy did.

Layla handed Ivy a tissue. "Ivy, look how happy everyone is! Why are you crying?"

Taking the tissue to wipe her tears, Ivy said, "I feel like Shelly has been through a lot. She's so strong and courageous."

Layla smiled. Those who can

tolerate your big brother's temper are definitely strong. Don't be fooled by his calm and mature appearance; that's just the surface. I'm pretty sure Shelly is the giver in their relationship."

Ivy nodded. "They complement each other, which is great."

"Yeah! I think you will be the giver in your relationship with that Lucas guy, too," Layla said. "If he is a capable man, it's all right for you to be the giver, but I'm worried that he has no ability yet demands adot emotionally."

"He has a great temper. He might look scary, but he usually just pouts when angry."

"I really wish I could meet him in person." Layla stroked her belly. "It's a shame that I'm pregnant and can't travel, or I would have hopped on a flight to

now aronia to see that boy right

now."

"I will bring him here soon. Even if we don't date, we can still be friends." Ivy beamed. "I'm sure he still cares for me. Now he's learned that I'm Irene." "Sure!"

After the wedding, Ivy sent Lucas a message. [Boss, I'm coming back to Taronia two days from now.]

Lucas did not reply, but Ivy did not dwell on it and simply sent Caspian the same message. [Caspian, I'm coming back to Taronia two days from now.]

Caspian responded almost right away. [Great! Let me know when you land, and I'll pick you up! It's been some time since I saw you, and I kind of miss you!]
