The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1996

"It's okay, I can take care of her forever," Cory said nonchalantly, handing the chocolate to Ivy.

"Mom, stop worrying. I'm not gonna turn into a pig!" Ivy took a bite of chocolate, her face filled with confidence. Then, seeming to remember something, she turned to her brother, "Bro, if I'm not a piglet, will you still take care of me forever?"

"Yes, I will." He nodded.

"Well, that's settled then!" Ivy swayed a bit, "This chocolate is so yummy!"

Rosalynn and Wayne shared a glance, both amused by Ivy's quirky demeanor.

On the way home, the family discussed plans for a camping trip.d2

Thanks to the abundant fall harvest at Ivy and Uncle Calvin's mini farm, they had plenty of food to bring.

"We need to invite Molly and Felix this time. Calvin is definitely going, what about Granny Hilaria? Is she coming?" Ivy counted the attendees on her fingers.

"Granny Hilaria has been quite busy recently, you can ask her later," Rosalynn suggested.

Nodding, Ivy began to fret again.

"I should grow up quickly, then I can join the Jared Group, and Granny Hilaria will have less to worry about," she said seriously.

It was the first time she had said something like this.

Hearing this, Wayne couldn't help but ask, "Sweetheart, didn't you tell daddy you want to be a painter when you grow up?"

"Yeah, but being a painter and working at the Jared Group are not mutually exclusive. I want to be a painter, an entrepreneur, an adventurer, and a traveler!" Ivy lifted her chin high, "Mommy said that I shouldn't be limited by any label, my future is full of possibilities!"

Rosalynn gave a thumbs-up to her daughter, "Absolutely, the sky's the limit for our Ivy!"

Wayne laughed along, but beneath the chuckles, he couldn't hide the worry on his face.

If possible, he'd rather his daughter become a carefree painter.

Living a life free of worries, never having to face adversities or take risks.
