Chapter 3083When His Eyes Opened/Simple SilenceArcher loaded the flowers into the trunk one by one until it was full, and then he filled the backseat as well. As there was no more space for flowers in the car, Ivy decided not to buy any more. After paying, the two of them set off with the car full of flowers toward the cemetery. Arriving at her grandmother's grave, Ivy surrounded it with flowers. She knelt in front of the tombstone, gazing at her grandmother's name on it, and spoke softly. "Grandma, I've come to see you. It's been three years since I last visited because I wanted to wait until I achieved something before coming to see you. You always wanted to see me succeed, and now, even if I don't rely on my parents, I can still find a decent job. Grandma, you can rest assured. From now on, I will visit you every year. My parents have been very good to me, and my siblings have taken great care of me too. Though I only spent three years with them, the love they've given me is more than I can ever hope for. I am content, aRead more
Chapter 3084When His Eyes Opened/Simple SilenceIvy's heart raced with a mixture of nerves and fear. She had not revealed her identity in the text message and there was a chance that her teacher would not recognize her. "How should I introduce myself if he doesn't recognize me?" she thought. Her former identity as Irene had long been buried, and she feared that mentioning it abruptly might startle her teacher. As Mr. Zeeland, the teacher, emerged from the school gate, he immediately spotted Ivy. She had not dressed up and wore a simple dress; her hair was tied in a ponytail, and her face unadorned, giving off a clean and mature aura. Mr. Zeeland adjusted his glasses and carefully scrutinized Ivy, yet he could not recall who she was. "Mr. Zeeland, do you have any classes today? It's just about time for dinner. Let me treat you to a meal," Ivy said, her face glowing with a bright smile. Mr. Zeeland blushed slightly. "What's your name? I don't remember ever teaching you. In fact, I don't recall seeing you before. Are you Read more
Chapter 3085When His Eyes Opened/Simple SilenceIvy smiled as she handed a tissue to her teacher. "That's also one of the reasons why I wanted to come back. There are people who have been kind to me here." Mr. Zeeland wiped his tears and put his glasses back on. "Irene, how are your current parents treating you? You seem to be doing well now... They must treat you well, right?" Ivy nodded. "Yes, they treat me very well." "How long are you planning to stay here this time?" Mr. Zeeland asked. "Probably about two weeks! I really wanted to visit the campus, but the security guard outside wouldn't let me in," Ivy replied. "Haha! After we finish eating, I'll take you in. The school is still the same. Not much has changed." Mr. Zeeland added, "Well, there is one change. It's become even more run-down." After their meal, Ivy asked her bodyguard to wait outside the school, and she followed Mr. Zeeland into the campus. The school indeed looked the same, although it had become a bit more dilapidated. "Mr. Zeeland, I'd like to aRead more
Chapter 3086When His Eyes Opened/Simple SilenceIvy took a deep breath and explained, "My grandmother used to work there. I just want to go in and take a look." Archer replied, "But we can't get in, right? We need an access card!" Ivy glanced at the security booth and then got out of the car. Instead of heading directly to the entrance of the residential area, she turned and went to the nearby market. Ivy bought some fruits and had Archer carry two bags while she carried two herself before returning to the residential area's entrance. Ivy smiled and spoke to the security guard inside. "Uncle, could you please help open the gate for us?" Upon seeing all the bags they were carrying, the security guard immediately grabbed his keys. However, before opening the gate, he responsibly asked, "I haven't seen you before! You're not residents of this community, right?" "We're here to visit relatives. We are the relatives of the owners of Villa 3-06," Ivy replied. The security guard listened and promptly opened the gate for them.Read more
Chapter 3087When His Eyes Opened/Simple SilenceThe Woods’ kitchen was just like it was three years ago, and the servants who worked inside remained unchanged. Although Ivy felt a strong connection to them, they did not recognize her. When she brought fruits for them to eat, they were very grateful and treated her with great courtesy. "What should we call you, Miss? Mrs. Woods might still be asleep," one of the servants said. "She's still not awake? She used to get up quite early," Ivy replied naturally. "Yes! She never used to sleep in, but, ever since so many unfortunate things happened in the family, she has developed insomnia. She can't sleep at night and can only get some rest during the day," the servant explained. "Have there been a lot of unfortunate events in the Woods family?" Ivy tensed. "Didn't your mother tell you? I thought everyone in the neighborhood knew!" the servant said. "I study overseas and rarely come home. My mother didn't tell me anything," Ivy explained with a smile. "Well... Our eldest yoRead more
Chapter 3088When His Eyes Opened/Simple Silence"I don't know about that. They didn't mention that." "I see," Ivy muttered. "I'm surprised that you know about Lucas as well!" the servant said. "I'm around his age, right?" Ivy chuckled. "I was still around when he first returned to his family, and I even saw him from afar before! He is slender and tall, and he always wore a thin jacket despite the cold weather." "Yeah! He doesn't seem afraid of the cold, and I've never seen him sick before. Young people are tougher, I guess," the servant said. "By the way, what's your name? I've never seen you around." "My name is Ivy. I should let you get back to work now," Ivy said and added, "Since Mrs. Woods is in a bad mood, don't bother telling her that I've been here. You can keep all the fruits to yourself!" "You are such a nice girl! Come by again whenever you are free!" "Sure!" Ivy emerged from the back door of the mansion, and Archer immediately inquired, "Done with the chat?" She nodded. "My grandmother worked here for aRead more
Chapter 3089When His Eyes Opened/Simple SilenceIvy's eyes lit up with realization. "Let me look it up." Archer interjected. "Ivy, do you really have to see him? He probably won't recognize you, and if you reveal your identity as a wealthy heiress, he'll definitely try his luck with you. I advise against confronting him." "He's not that kind of person," Ivy insisted. "People change over three years. You don't know if he's the same person anymore. In this society, the temptation of wealth is always strong. With money, you have everything. So, my suggestion is to not meet with him," Archer reasoned. "If I don't tell him who I am, I might not even get to see him. Even if I do, I'll just be talking to him as a stranger. He doesn't like talking to strangers," Ivy explained. "You haven't tried, how do you know he won't talk to you? You're such a beautiful young lady; most men can't resist your charm. If you lack confidence, you can put on some makeup and dress up," Archer suggested. "Alright, I'll check the name of his companyRead more
Chapter 3090When His Eyes Opened/Simple SilenceArcher gasped in disbelief. "You're so outstanding! What if he actually hires you? Are you really planning to stay here and work? Weren't we supposed to leave after half a month?" "I was just saying! I'll figure it out later. Even if he hires me, I can leave anytime!" Archer nodded. "Makes sense." After finishing their meal at the restaurant, they prepared to visit Lucas's company. Inside the car, Archer asked, "What's the name of his company?" "Night Technologies," Ivy answered. "That's not a pleasant-sounding name." "Different strokes for different folks. You might not like it, but he clearly does," Ivy said. "Ivy, your parents won't let you marry and settle in Taronia. It's fine that you want to visit this guy, but don't fall in love with him," Archer warned. "When I first met him, I never had any contact with the opposite sex. He was the first guy who treated me kindly, so my feelings for him are special. I definitely like him a lot, but I don't know whether we wiRead more
Chapter 3091When His Eyes Opened/Simple Silence"Wait for me outside," Ivy said to Archer. The receptionist was taken aback. "You two are together?" "Yes. He's my friend, and he accompanied me here," Ivy said. "So, you're here for an interview?" His attitude suddenly became more enthusiastic. "Come in first. Let me check if the hiring manager is available." "Sure," Ivy said and gave Archer a signal, asking him to leave. However, the receptionist generously invited him inside as well. "Your friend can also come in and sit. There are no seats outside!" And so, Archer followed Ivy into Night Technologies. The receptionist poured a glass of water for each of them, then went to call the hiring manager. Unfortunately, the hiring manager did not pick up the phone. "Our manager isn't in the office," the receptionist said apologetically. "He's not in the office? Is he out looking for new employees?" Ivy asked. The receptionist nodded. "Yes, he went outside to recruit people." "I guess there aren't many people who proaRead more
Chapter 3092When His Eyes Opened/Simple SilenceLucas grabbed Ivy's resume and glanced through it. When he saw that she majored in broadcasting, he looked at her and asked, "Are you sure you have the right place?" "Yeah!" "Do you even know what kind of a company this is?" he asked. She beamed. "Of course! I think it's a gaming company, right?" She remembered that Lucas used to love playing video games and would stay up all night playing, without drinking or eating anything. "It's good that he turned his hobby into a career," she thought. "Since you know that, what are you doing here? What do you have to offer?" "I can do anything," she said. "I'm a quick learner." Lucas set the resume on the desk. "You are from Aryadelle, so why did you come all the way here to Taronia?" Lucas could sense something was amiss with Ivy. Having graduated from a reputable university in Aryadelle with a degree in broadcasting, she could easily find a job in her field either there or in Taronia, so it made no sense for her to work in aRead more
