Damion was feeling pretty good.
Ivy didn’t understand why he was happy, but for her, if Damion was happy, she was happy too.
Her nervousness seemed to have dissipated quite a bit because of Damion.
Only now did Ivy have the chance to think about what exactly was developing in the wrong direction.
Things between her and Damion were getting more and more awkward.
The car quickly drove into the Hayden family’s estate.
Looking at the building in front of her, Ivy couldn’t help but sigh that there really were barriers between people sometimes. She couldn’t even imagine someone living in such a place. But it really existed here.
As soon as she got out of the car, Ivy felt like she couldn’t stand steady on her feet anymore. Before she could calm herself down though, she heard an imposing voice say, “Damion is here.”
Following where the voice came from with her eyesight, she saw an old man carrying a birdcage walking towards them from outside. It was obvious he had just come back from taking his bird out for some fresh air.
Damion said, “Camdyn, I came over to see you.”
Camdyn smiled, “Good timing! I wanted to find you too.”
When he heard this, Damion’s expression stiffened and he coughed uncomfortably.
If Camdyn specifically wanted to see him, there must be something going on. It was probably about setting him up on a blind date.
Damion suddenly regretted agreeing to come here. He felt like he had walked right into a trap.
Ivy didn’t understand what was going on. Damion didn’t let her speak so she obediently stood by his side without saying a word.
Camdyn’s gaze fell upon Ivy’s face and he asked Damion, “Who is this?”
Damion replied, “She’s just a little sister named Ivy.”
Looking down at Ivy, Damion introduced her to Camdyn, “This is Camdyn.”
Ivy politely greeted Camdyn with a sweet voice and an appropriate smile. However, she couldn’t hide the fact that her heart was racing with nervousness.
Especially when she met Camdyn’s eagle-like eyes head-on. It made her feel even worse. If it weren’t for Damion standing next to her, she would have kneeled down in fear in the next second.
Camdyn found it quite interesting watching these two people interact. Suddenly he felt like his reason for calling Damion might not be necessary anymore, which left him feeling disappointed.
However, Camdyn remained kind towards Ivy as he smiled and asked, “How old are you, little girl?”
Ivy answered obediently, “I’m twenty years old.”
Camdyn nodded and said, “You look young.”
He thought she was a minor. If she wasn’t yet eighteen, he would have to talk to Damion about it. He couldn’t mess around with kids like that and couldn’t do anything indecent.
But since this little girl was already twenty years old, there shouldn’t be any problem.
She looked so pitiful with her malnourished appearance like a bean sprout.
Camdyn said, “Come on in.”
Camdyn let Damion and Ivy enter the house first, while he went to put the birdcage in the garden house. Ever since Ash and Mikayla gave him a bird, he had fallen in love with raising birds.
During this time, he had received many bird babies. For this reason, he even renovated the previously abandoned garden room specifically for these little birds. Most importantly, he made soundproofing equipment because otherwise the two pregnant women would be disturbed by these little ones.
Aimee didn’t say anything about it, but Casey’s temper was likely to cause trouble. Camdyn felt that he really worried too much for these younger generations.
As they walked from the garden house into the main house, Camdyn couldn’t help but sigh that Damion was truly a capable person.
Originally seeing all of these young ones finding partners one by one except for Damion and Amir who were still single made Camdyn anxious.
He wanted to make sure that his two grandsons-like men wouldn’t be left out so he searched for information on several girls, thinking of arranging something for Damion.
However, before Camdyn could even find Damion someone suitable, unexpectedly he brought a girl over himself, which greatly surprised him.
Casey was equally shocked when she came down from upstairs and saw Damion leading a girl inside, which almost caused her to fall down the stairs in fright.
Of course this also startled Damion quite badly as well. He quickly supported Casey saying, “You need to calm down.”
Casey’s mouth twitched slightly as she said, somewhat exasperatedly, “Well then I guess I’ll have to be calm too. Are you sure you’re not making things difficult for me?”
Damion remained silent.
How could he forget that Casey was now a top priority protection target of the Hayden family and had already moved back in?
Curiously, Damion asked, “Didn’t you move down to the first floor? Why did you come down from upstairs?”
“I went up to get something. What’s so strange about that?” Casey replied. “Besides, my uncomfortable period has passed and now I’m just a normal pregnant woman who can do anything.”
“Well then, take it easy and don’t rush around scaring people,” Damion advised.
Upon hearing this, Casey laughed mischievously and said with a hint of meaning in her tone, “Damion, judging by your behavior right now, I think you’ll definitely become a slave to your wife in the future. You might even be worse than Patrick.”
Damion gave Casey an annoyed look and asked her what nonsense she was talking about.
Casey blinked her eyes at Ivy and asked playfully, “Who is this young girl? Or should I call her sister-in-
law?”
Damion felt helpless.
He knew that whenever he was with Casey, there would always be these moments where he was being gossiped about.
Just like his response to Camdyn earlier on, Damion answered, “She’s just a little girl.”
Casey chuckled softly, “Oh, a little girl… little girl…”
Seeing how amused Casey looked, Damion started feeling a headache coming on.
Sure enough, the next second, he heard Casey humming, “How many girls do you really have…”
Damion was speechless.
Ivy was completely dumbfounded. When she first saw Casey, she thought there might be some kind of romantic relationship between her and Damion, because of how nervous he seemed around her. But as the conversation went on, Ivy realized that something was off.
The woman in front of them was clearly pregnant, and it was obvious that Damion knew her well. His concern for her must have been like that of an older brother for his younger sister.
Even though Ivy didn’t think she had any right to feel this way, when Damion rushed over to help the woman just now, a wave of discomfort washed over her.
This emotion weighed heavily on her and made her feel uneasy all over. Even though their subsequent conversation cleared things up for Ivy and showed that she had been mistaken about their relationship, a certain lyric from a song still left a bitter taste in Ivy’s mouth.
Ivy wasn’t one to hide what was on her mind. Every emotion was showed clearly on her face. At this moment, however, even “mercurial” wouldn’t do justice to describe the changes in expression flickering across it.
Casey was such a shrewd person. Naturally she didn’t miss the look on Ivy’s face. She couldn’t help but burst out laughing until tears streamed down from eyes sore with mirth.
Damion’s expression finally turned ugly at this point. This little brat never knew how to behave herself since childhood. Now she’d become even more brazen than ever before!
Despite feeling threatened by Damion’s gaze towards Casey, however… she paid him no heed whatsoever!
She also had to consider the little thing in her stomach and couldn’t laugh too recklessly. But even so, she was laughing so hard that she almost ran out of breath.
Finally, after laughing enough and calming herself down, Casey patted Ivy’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, young girl. He only has me as a sister who’s already married with a baby.”
Ivy’s face turned bright red and she didn’t know how to respond.
She opened her mouth but only whispered softly, “I’m not worried.”
This made Casey laugh even more until Damion gave her a stern look and she finally toned it down a bit – just a bit.
Fortunately, Camdyn walked in at that moment and said to Casey, “Casey, you’re bullying people again.”
Casey immediately protested, “How could I? I’m such an adorable sister. How could I bully anyone?”
Damion shook his head helplessly as he looked down at Ivy and said, “Don’t be nervous. That’s just how she is, always causing trouble. Once you get to know her better, you’ll see that she’s easy-going.”
Ivy nodded but couldn’t help thinking about something else.
Had their relationship been misunderstood?
This realization actually made Ivy feel a little happy.
Even though she tried hard not to fantasize about unrealistic things or take advantage of Damion’s kindness towards her too much, deep down inside she knew that what she was doing was wrong.
She was being unfair to him – very unfair indeed.
However, she couldn’t control her happiness.
This genuine happiness made her feel like she was back in her teenage years, as if she had a sweet secret that couldn’t be shared with anyone else. But in reality, everyone already knew about it, even though she thought they didn’t.
Despite this, Ivy carefully held onto this secret and guarded it closely. She didn’t want to tell anyone but wanted others to know that it was her own secret.
Ivy never expected that the experience she never had during her teenage years would come to her when she was already twenty years old.
But the longer time passed, the more Ivy realized that she wasn’t worthy of it. At least not now.
Instantly, some disappointment set in. Ivy couldn’t describe how she felt at the moment. It was like someone forcefully threw her up into the air and let her catch a glimpse of beautiful scenery from above before plummeting back down again without getting a chance to savor any of it.
It truly wasn’t a good feeling.
“What are you daydreaming about?” Damion’s sudden voice snapped Ivy out of her thoughts.
She turned her head and saw Damion’s face just inches away from hers.
Instantly, Ivy’s cheeks flushed and her breath seemed to stop.
“Grandpa is talking to you,” Damion said.
Ivy instantly became nervous, quickly turning her head to look at Camdyn. She spoke like a frightened little animal, “I’m sorry, Grandpa. I was lost in thought.”
Camdyn had lived long enough to understand some things. This girl was probably still upset by what
