It was the most luxurious feast she had ever seen, and all delicacies she could imagine had been laid before her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were dishes that she had never seen before, but luckily, there were chefs standing by them to explain each dish. "Ivy, why aren't you eating? Do you not like the dishes?" Layla whispered.
"There are so many of them. I don't know where to start." Ivy was interning as a broadcaster now and dared not to eat to her heart's content as she had before, as she was afraid that she might not look good on camera.
"Just take one bite of each dish. We will keep the ones we like and discard the ones we don't like." Layla started placing food on Ivy's plate.
"Okay." Sometlater, Lilith stopped eating as she had a small appetite due to the nature of her work.
"Hayden, there aren't any outsiders here, so why don't you tell us what you are looking for in a partner? Looks, figure, academic achievement, family background, age, personality... you have to give us something." As Hayden's biological aunt, Lilith desperately wanted to find the perfect match for Hayden.
"If you really don't know what you want, it's okay. You are still young, and there's no hurry to get married. Just date girls you like and through trial and error, you will know what you look for in a wife," Ben advised.

What about Meryl and Amy?" Content belongs to en.swEven without Meryl and Amy, Hayden would never confess his feelings in front of so many people. He was only willing to share them with his mother.
"Huh? So you don't want to date and want to jump right into marriage?" Lilith had seen people like that but did not expect that from Hayden.
Men who jumped right into marriage often saw women as a reproduction tool, and in Lilith's perspective, men like that were heartless and would never love a woman.
"I don't want to get married." Hayden had regained his composure and said, "Just mentioned it with Mom this morning. If I need your help, I will talk to you about it."

The person who's perfect for you might not be the way you pictured her to be." Content belongs to en.swAvery agreed with Lilith. "Hayden, your aunt is right. You need to cinto contact with more girls to find the perfect person for yourself." Hayden hummed in response and set his spoon down to glance at his watch. "Ivy, are you done? I will send you hto rest. You have work tonight, right?" Ivy glanced at her parents and stood up dazedly.
She was no fool and knew that Hayden was just looking for an excuse to leave.
