"Of course you did," Rosalynn responded.
Rosalynn and Wayne shared a knowing look, and both broke into a hearty laugh.
After a joyful lunch, Baillie and Hilaria had to head off to work. The rest headed back home at a leisurely pace.
"The final exams are coming up," Ivy started rambling about her plans as soon as she got home. "I need to study hard!"
Last time around, she was still a few ranks away from being top ranked.
Liam had made it clear - he would only continue tutoring her over the summer if she came in first in her year!
"Does Liam have the time? Should we ask him to tutor Ivy?" Calvin quickly questioned, seeing Ivy's anxious demeanor.
Wayne cleared his throat, "Liam has his own finals to worry about."
"Right, I can't let my needs get in the way of Liam scoring top marks!" Ivy lamented. "Enough chit-chat, I'm going to study hard now!"
Wayne, leaning on his cane, watched Ivy's retreating figure as she scampered upstairs, a million thoughts racing through his mind.
"Don’t be worried too much, Prez?" Paige teased Wayne, her hand resting on Cory's head.
"You'll understand when you have a daughter," Wayne shot her a glance.
"Why should I worry? We've already agreed, if I have a daughter, she'll be with Cory. I'm not worried at all!” Paige chuckled.
Cory glanced her silently.
Why was this topic brought up again?
"Tech Seven, don't you have a meeting at three this afternoon?" Rosalynn checked her watch, reminding Cory.
Cory nodded towards Paige, "Under the law, marriage should be based on mutual consent, arranged marriages are a no-go."
"Alright, let's settle on this for now. When you're older, you can date freely first, and then we can arrange the marriage!"
Cory was at a loss for words again.
