Chapter 3080
Mike walked over and said, "Ivy, congratulation on your graduation!"
"Uncle Mike, why don't you go to hold the twins?"
He smiled. "I'll do so after everyone gets their turn. Your big brother really took us all by surprise this time."
"Life is full of surprises, I guess," Ivy said.
"Yeah! What do you intend to do after graduating?" Mike asked.
"I want to go back to Taronia for a short trip."
"Taronia?" Mike repeated thoughtfully. "... Lucas Woods?"
Ivy fell silent, as she did not expect Mike to have such good memory.
A few years ago, Ivy had mentioned Lucas's name to Mike once, and he still remembered it.
"I mainly want to go back to pay respects to my foster grandmother," Ivy explained, her cheeks turning red.
"Oh, if it's just for that, you could relocate your grandmother's grave to Aryadelle. It would be more convenient for you to visit. Instead of going so far just to pay respects, it would save you a lot of trouble!" Mike offered his advice sincerely.
Ivy blushed even harder. "Uncle Mike, besides paying respects, I also want to visit Taronia. After all, I lived there for more than ten years."
Mike sympathized with her. "Are you going alone, or will someone accompany you?"
"I'll take a bodyguard with me. I've already talked to my parents about it," Ivy replied.
"Your parents have grandchildren now, so they won't be too concerned about you. Plus, you're an adult now, so you can do what you want." Mike chuckled. "But be especially careful when you're out there. After all, you are a different person now. Although your parents haven't publicly disclosed your information, there must be people who know about it."NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Ivy nodded. "I'll definitely be careful."
At ten that night, Avery sent Layla to rest and returned home with Shelly, Ivy, and the two little ones.
Austin had fallen asleep in Avery's arms, but Audrey was still awake.
Shelly tried to coax her to sleep, but she resisted.
"Maybe we shouldn't have let her nap in the afternoon. She's still so energetic." Shelly laughed.
"I think it's because there were too many people tonight, and it scared her a bit. She usually takes a nap the afternoon, and it doesn't affect her sleep at night!" Avery explained. "Austin, on the other hand, is probably tired from crying.
Shelly's laughter grew even louder.
At the party tonight, with so many guests around, Austin got
frightened. Whenever someone.net
to hold him, he cried loudly and clung to Avery, refusing to let go.
His cries were deafening and quite astonishing that Avery could only conclude that he was fast asleep because he had spent all his energy crying.
Audrey, on the other hand, did not cry; anyone could hold her, and she did not seem afraid at all. Her reaction to fear was to remain highly alert and active.
"In the future, we should take Austin
to places with more people, so he
won't cry so much," Shelly suggested. "My mom used to Audrey for walks in our
velae
neighborhood, and she got used to
people."
Avery felt a bit embarrassed. "We often take Austin for walks in our neighborhood too, but there aren't many people there."
"Now that he's a little older, we can take him to the park or stroll down the streets," Shelly replied.
"Yeah, I actually find him cute even when he's crying. Hahahaha!" Avery admired both of the children, thinking they were adorable no matter what.
"Mom, you didn't see how hard Hayden frowns when Austin cries," Ivy added and laughed.
"When your big brother was Austin's age, he would cry just as loudly. How can he be so strict with a little baby?" Avery said.
When they returned home, Ivy went to her room. Before taking a shower, she checked her phone and saw a new message.
