Robert nodded obediently as he watched his mother walk away dazedly.
Elliot shot up from the couch and hurried after Avery.
"Avery, why are we going back all of a sudden?" Elliot caught up to her and grabbed her arm.
Robert wanted to know what was happening as well, so he ran over to eavesdrop.
"Look at this." Avery showed Elliot the photo Wesley sent her.
Robert stood by the stairway and watched as his parents stared at the phone. Unfortunately, he was too far away to see anything.
"What are you looking at? Can | see?" He wanted to follow them up the stairs.
To his bewilderment, his parents, who had spoiled him rotten since birth, completely ignored him and went to the second floor.
Shaken to the core, Robert immediately dialed Hayden's number. "Hayden, our parents are going htoday and askedto
drop them off at the airport later. Do you know anything about this?"
"Do you know something about this that | don't?"
Robert froze at his answer and said, "Did Mom tell you?"
"Yeah."
"Why are they going home? Are they mad at me? They were fine this morning... We were even talking about going surfing in a few
days!"
"You overestimate your importance. This has nothing to do with you," Hayden reassured him.

Robert had been the youngest child, so everyone had always been extremely tolerant of him.
"Oh. Alright, then. | thought that they were mad at me." Robert sighed a breath of relief.
"Dad might be but not Mom," Hayden said. "But I'm guessing that Dad won't be mad at you for long. You can do whatever you
want from now on and no one will care."
Robert gaped. "Hayden! For real? Why won't they care if | do whatever | want?! Am... am | not their son?! Did something change
now that they know | don't want to inherit Sterling Group?"
Robert felt all strength drained from his body and his mind drifted away.
"Robert rostgnnave you been
watching CQ any of those idiotic
televisionmshows that you've turned >
into an idiot, too? | feel like | am_<

to y&l. Bye," Hayden said, before

Robert silently gripped his phone.
On the second floor, Avery packed while Elliot stared at the photo of Irene on Avery's phone. His eyes filled with sorrow.
"Honey, do you think that she's our
daughter?" Avery swiftly finished
packing and checked the time.
Seeing that they still had another
half an hour, $he sat down next to
Elliot. "We sbspected that she was;
Ivy once before, yet she slipped &
aay fiom right beneath our noses!
It's fortunate that she is healthy.
Wesley said that she had traveled all
the way to Hightide Churgh to see
Sister Arya. She had raised her for a
time... That means she is a grateful
young woman as well. She was

raised right," Avery said. "Once we
get back, we should leave her alone
until the results of the DNA test are
out. Wesley said that she's rather
shy, so I'm guessing that she must
have been through a lot of hardship."
Tears rolled down Elliot's cheeks.
It had been years since he had shed a tear.
Avery immgdiately wrapped her
arms around him and gently wiped
away higtears. "Elliot, don't cry, If
she really is our Ivy, we will make it
up Sher. I'm sure that she will
forgive us."
