Chapter 1568
“Liam is just awesome!” Ivy exclaimed proudly, “Despite being orphaned and bullied by his nasty uncle, he’s doing
great at school and treats us really well. Mom and Grandma love him. They wanted to adopt him, but Liam insisted
on staying at his parents‘ house.”
Ivy spoke with earnestness that was truly touching.
Wayne frowned slightly.
No parents?
“Does he live with his grandparents then?” Wayne asked.
Calvin replied, “No, he lives alone.”
Wayne’s frown deepened.

are super tasty. Mom tried it once and she loved it!”
Wayne snapped back to reality.
He held Ivy’s hand and said, “Okay. Let’s get some extra chicken to take home for Mom.”
“Sure!”
Ivy nodded, then led Wayne towards Hilaria.
As they approached, Wayne saw Liam, who had just left, talking to Hilaria.
Hilaria seemed very fond of him. She was wiping the sweat off his face with a wet wipe.
Liam looked rather cold, but in front of Hilaria, he was quite obedient.
He stood stiffly, allowing Hilaria to wipe his face.
As Ivy and Wayne came closer, Liam said something and then left.
“Granny Hilaria, my rehearsal is over.” Ivy let go of Wayne’s hand and ran to Hilaria.
Hilaria grinned, “So, are you going to treat us to some food?”
“Yes!”
Ivy nodded vigorously.
Then they all headed towards the cafeteria.
It wasn’t dismissal time yet, so the cafeteria wasn’t crowded.
Ivy, acting all grown–up, held Calvin’s hand and ordered a lot of food.
Then, Ivy proudly paid for it herself.
“The lunch money is from Cory!” Ivy explained to Calvin as she paid.
Cory had noticed that Ivy had lost some weight recently.
This was actually because she had grown taller and therefore looked thinner, but Cory was worried that she wasn’t

Once, he had his bodyguard bring him to the school to give Ivy a generous amount of lunch money.
He insisted on making sure she could always eat her fill at school.
Of course, he did this behind Rosalynn’s back.
Rosalynn could never understand why Cory was so anxious about whether Ivy was eating enough or not.
“Do you have enough money? I have money too. If you’re short, I can help you out.” Calvin whispered, “Don’t
worry, I won’t tell Hilaria or your parents!”
“No need!” Ivy hurriedly said, “Cory gave me lots of money. I won’t even finish it by the time I graduate!”
“That’s good.” Calvin nodded, “Just make sure you eat enough.”
Ivy was amused.
She didn’t understand why Cory and Calvin were so concerned about whether she was eating enough.
They acted as if she had once gone hungry.
But in her memory, she had always had plenty to eat.
After ordering the food, they returned to Hilaria and Wayne.
Concerned about attracting attention, they chose to sit in a corner.
