Chapter 1996
“It’s okay, I can take care of her forever.” Cory said nonchalantly, handing the chocolate to Ivy.
“Mom, stop worrying. I’m not gonna turn into a pig!” Ivy took a bite of chocolate, her face filled with confidence.
Then, seeming to remember something. she turned to her brother, “Bro, if I’m not a piglet, will you still take care of
me forever?”
“Yes, I will.” He nodded.
“Well, that’s settled then!” Ivy swayed a bit, “This chocolate is so yummy!”
Rosalynn and Wayne shared a glance, both amused by Ivy’s quirky demeanor.c2
On the way home, the family discussed plans for a camping trip.
Thanks to the abundant fall harvest at lvy and Uncle Calvin’s mini farm, they had plenty of food to bring.

Ivy counted the attendees on her fingers.
“Granny Hilaria has been quite busy recently, you can ask her later,” Rosalynn suggested.
Nodding, Ivy began to fret again.
1 should grow up quickly, then I can join the Jared Group, and Granny Hilaria will have less to worry about,” she said
seriously.
It was the first time she had said something like this.
Hearing this, Wayne couldn’t help but ask, “Sweetheart, didn’t you tell daddy you want to be a painter when you
grow up?”
“Yeah, but being a painter and working at the Jared Group are not mutually exclusive. I want to be a painter, an
entrepreneur, an adventurer, and a traveler!” Ivy lifted her chin high, “Mommy said that I shouldn’t be limited by
any label, my future is full of possibilities!”
Rosalynn gave a thumbs-up to her daughter, “Absolutely, the sky’s the limit for our Ivy!”
Wayne laughed along, but beneath the chuckles, he couldn’t hide the worry on his face.
If possible, he’d rather his daughter become a carefree painter.
Living a life free of worries, never having to face adversities or take risks.
However, if his little girl is destined to soar high like an eagle, he would support her unconditionally
As it happened, Rosalynn and Hilaria arrived home almost at the same time.
As soon as they got out of the car, Ivy couldn’t wait to rush toward Hilaria, giving her a firm hug.
“Great-grandma, I really missed you,” she cooed, rubbing her face against the old woman’s side.
Hilaria laughed heartily. “So, you can’t live without your great-grandma, huh? How about you come with me on my
business trip to R Country for a month?” Ivy released Hilaria, “Huh? You’re going on a business trip? For a whole

“What’s wrong? Your jaw is about to hit the ground,” Hilaria helped her close her mouth,
“We were planning a camping trip and were going to invite you,” Ivy sighed, hanging her head.
Rosalynn stepped forward, and simply explained Ivy’s dilemma.
“It’s okay, if I miss it this time, I’ll go next time,” Hilaria comforted, “We have plenty of time!”
“Okay” Ivy nodded.
Looking at the time, Hilaria exclaimed, “Oh dear, it’s our sweetheart’s dinner time. Let’s hurry to the dining room,
we can’t let my precious girl go hungry!” They walked in hand in hand.
Rosalynn, on the other hand, strolled leisurely with Cory.
Cory rarely talked about the future.
After hearing Ivy’s plans for when she grows up, Rosalynn was somewhat curious.
What did Cory think about his future?
“Son, your sister just said that when she grows up, she wants to join the Jared Group. What about you? When you
grow up, do you want to join Daddy’s Bane Corporation or the Jared Group?” Rosalynn asked.
Holding two of Rosalynn’s fingers, Cory asked, “Do I have to choose between Daddy’s and Mommy’s companies?”
