But before she could speak, she heard Wayne say, "Doesn't Ivy need to ask her daddy and mommy?"
Laura's face changed.
The young miss didn't have a father, so no one would mention 'dad' in front of her.
"Ivy's mom is really cool. She won't say no!"
Ivy held her head up high, very proud of herself.
However...
"No way." Rosalynn listened and decisively rejected Ivy's request without any hesitation.
Ivy's eyes widened, utterly astonished.
"Why... why not?" she asked, puzzled. "That gentleman bought Ivy's painting, helped Ivy so I can help more people, he's a good guy! Ivy wants to treat him to a nice meal..."
Paige stood by watching, feeling somewhat conflicted.
Should she tell Rosalynn the truth? That the gentleman was Ivy's “Handsome Mister”?
"Sweetie, he's on a date with someone he likes right now. If you invite him to lunch, wouldn't that ruin their date?" Rosalynn crouched beside Ivy, suppressing her inner anxiety and patiently trying to convince her.
Ivy had watched some romantic movies with her godmother, so she knew that a date was something lovers do.
Thinking of that annoying woman, Ivy's mood got even worse. That mister liked that annoying aunt.
Her beautiful day was ruined ever since she learned the truth.
"Ivy... understands..." Ivy nodded with a deflated spirit.
"Laura, refuse their offer." Rosalynn looked at Laura.
"No!" Ivy looked up, surprisingly determined. "Ivy wants to go tell them herself!"
