His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 3170

Throughout the meal, Ivy found it hard to enjoy her food.

Lucas and Hayden discussed everything that mattered, and the conversation went smoother than anyone had anticipated.

Hayden was not upset, nor was Lucas.

It was a better scenario than what Ivy had hoped for, but she still felt depressed.

"Lucas, my husband and I would like to pay your mother a visit. Would that be okay?" Shelly asked after finishing her food.

"Sure," Lucas said.

"Don't we need to ask your mom first?" Ivy asked.

"It's fine. We can just head over right away and introduce them once we arrive."

Lucas' mother grew weaker every day and had stopped using her phone altogether, so it was her nurse, whom Lucas had hired, who reported his mother's condition to him daily.

"You restarted your business and have to take care of your mother simultaneously; you're really strong. Most people would crumble under the pressure," Shelly commented.

"Ivy had a tougher life before. She didn't crumble, so I won't either," Lucas said.

"Haha! Both of you are very strong individuals. The hardships of life can't break you now, and they won't in the future."

Ivy chimed in, "Shelly, you're really kind! Besides my mom, you're the gentlest woman I know."

Shelly blushed at the compliment.

"If your sister hears this, she might get upset," Hayden teased.

"Layla is different! She's like a superhero to me, just not the gentle kind," Ivy argued.
