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.

Lucas handed his card to the cashier. "You've told me that many times already."

"So, how did it feel to meet them? Isn't my sister-in-law really nice? She's just an ordinary person."

"Your big brother and sister-in-law are both great."

Ivy grinned. "If you think my big brother is nice, you would think that my sister and little brother are even nicer. They're just like my sister-in-law. My mom is wonderful, too."

"What about your dad?"

Ivy's smile faltered. "My dad might be a bit strict. Probably even stricter than my big brother. It's okay, though. He has a fatal weakness: my mom. My dad listens to her, and she spoils me, so they shouldn't make things difficult for you. Just focus on your work. I'll be waiting for you."

After settling the bill, Lucas and Ivy returned to the lobby.

"Ivy, you should go home with your big brother and sister-in-law. I can't leave this country now."
