Shelly was both shocked and deeply moved.
Hayden continued, "I understand that the difference in our backgrounds may make you feel insecure and sensitive, but I don't want similar incidents to happen in the future. If you feel inadequate, you can always study and improve yourself. Escaping is the least useful method to deal with insecurities."
Tears of remorse filled Shelly's eyes. "Yes, I will never do that again. Whatever happens in the future, I will talk to you about it."
"If there's anything you don't want to discuss with me, you can talk to my sister," Hayden said, glancing at Ivy. "Ivy, thank you for helping us clear up this misunderstanding."
Ivy blushed. "We are a family, Hayden. You don't have to thank me!"
"What are your plans after graduation? Have you decided on anything?" Hayden asked.
After giving it some thought, Ivy decided to share her plans with everyone, while they were all present, to dismiss any lingering concerns.
"I want to visit Taronia first. My grandmother, who raised me, is buried there. I want to pay my respects to her grave and stay in Taronia for a while." Ivy revealed her plan.
Everyone froze in surprise as Ivy had not returned to Taronia since she returned to Aryadelle.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and Ivy had transformed from a somewhat insecure girl into a confident and poised young lady.
Without hesitation, Robert spoke up. "Ivy, I'll accompany you to Taronia during my summer vacation. I also want to visit and have some fun there."
Ivy smiled. "To be honest, there's not much to see in Taronia. I'll just go and pay a visit. I might not stay for long. I'll bring a bodyguard with me when I go."
