Chapter 1967
Calvin preferred his life now.
Every day he could see Hilaria and Ivy.
He loved to grow fruits and vegetables for them to enjoy.
Watching them savor his produce, Calvin always felt as though he was not just harvesting food, but happiness!
“Why the long face, sweetheart?” Rosalynn asked, pulling out a ripe tomato from the basket.c2
Ivy tried to gather her strength but her spirits drooped immediately, “A lot of people were asking me where Liam
had gone. He did not just ignore my messages, he ignored everyone’s.”
Rosalynn paused slightly.
“He compiled all his study materials, review notes, and sent them to his friends. And then he just went silent.”

But Rosalynn knew that he cherished those who were kind to him.
He would not just cut off from everyone while studying abroad?
This was not like Liam at all.
“Liam is all by himself overseas and he may need some time to get used to his new life.” Rosalynn returned from
her thoughts and said to Ivy, “Once he settles down, he might reconnect with his friends back home.”
“Would he reconnect with me too?” Ivy asked immediately.
“Anything is possible!” Rosalynn answered ambiguously.
Ivy drooped her head again, “Goodbyes are so annoying. I hate them!”
Rosalynn gently ruffled her hair, “But darling, life is all about continuous encounters and goodbyes.” Her voice was
soft and gentle.
Ivy, with teary eyes, buried her face into her mom’s embrace.
“But I just hate partings, waaaa!”
Rosalynn could feel it. Her daughter was genuinely upset.
She did not scold or blame her, but instead soothed her by patting her back and murmuring comforting words.
After a while.
Calvin came over with two boxes full of ripe tomatoes, and she finally stopped crying.
Ivy’s first life lesson about goodbyes came unexpectedly and was incredibly hard to accept.
After putting away the tomatoes, she took an early shower and retreated to her room.
Wayne knew why she was upset, but he did not try to console her.
He stayed in his study, taking care of his work.
After Rosalynn finished her chores, she had a video call with Paige.

Paige was indignant, “I thought Liam was a decent boy, even considered him as a prospective suitor for Ivy, but
now he turns out to be such a person? Forget it, I change my mind, any man that hurts my darling is not worth it!”
“Please, they are still kids,” Rosalynn shook her head helplessly, “And… I feel something is not right about Liam’s
departure for overseas.”
“What seems off?” Paige asked while trying to put her full and stubborn daughter, Trista, to sleep.
“I never studied abroad. Is it normal for Liam to go overseas for studies without applying for schools in advance?”
Rosalynn asked.
Paige blurted out, “Of course not, usually one has to apply at least six months in advance. Well, those with money or
exceptionally high grades may be the exceptions.”
“Liam definitely does not have the money, but are his grades… exceptionally high?”
Paige looked at the camera and joked, “Could it be that your husband got too jealous of Liam, and used his
influence to send him away?”
