Ivy was the first one to spot Shelly and called out excitedly, "Shelly!" Shelly immediately turned around and was stunned when she saw Ivy and Robert.
It was a big city filled with countless people so she could not fathom the odds of running into them.

"Shelly, is this your family member?" "Yes. This is my younger brother, Samuel," Shelly said. "Samuel, these two are Ivy and Robert. They are Hayden's younger siblings." "Hello," Samuel said politely.
"Hello, Samuel. What are you two looking for? I will buy it," Robert offered generously. "Pick anything you want. We are here to get plants as well." "It's fine. We were just walking by and cin to have a look, so we might not even buy anything," Shelly said.
"Since you are already here, just buy something!" Robert said before starting to pick plants for them. "I think these few pots look great. What do you think?" Both Shelly and Samuel agreed. "They look great." "It's settled, then." Robert glanced at the owner and gestured that he would be taking the plants he had selected before walking farther inside. "We will need to pick a few larger plants for New Year's, don't you think?" Shelly could tell that Robert wanted to buy them more plants. "Robert, my apartment is quite small, so I don't need that many. Only one will do." Shelly could not find a way to refuse his offer and decided to take one plant.
"No matter how small it is, I'm sure there is space for a few potted plants! You can always put them on the balcony." Robert could tell that Shelly was a shy woman and picked out a small tree for her. "How about this one? I think it's a tree of roses." "Oh, yes. This tree is six years old!" the owner said. "You can place it indoors or outdoors. Either way, it will look nice." "Sure. Shelly, what's your address? We will get the owner to send the plants over to you," Robert said enthusiastically.
Shelly felt conflicted as she looked at all the plants Robert had selected for her.
"Shelly, just accept them! It's not like these cost a lot. It's just our way of wishing you a happy new year," Ivy said with a smile. "These are too costly." "It's fine. Hayden gives us a hefty allowance every year," Ivy said, hoping that Shelly would consider the plants as gifts from Hayden.

"Shelly, just accept these!" Samuel saw no point in refusing their gifts, especially when the cost of the plants meant nothing to wealthy families like theirs.
"All right! Thank you!" Shelly said before turning to provide her address to the owner.
Just then, Ivy spotted the bag of baby formula in Shelly's hand.
"Shelly, is that baby formula?" Ivy had only spotted it because the bag was transparent, and she had watched Aiden drink milk frequently enough to recognize the formula right away.
เอน Shelly tensed. "I strolled by a store that sells baby stuff and couldn't resist going in. The salesperson said that there's a sale going on sol bought one." Shelly handed the bag to Ivy and said, "Why don't you take it back for Aiden to try? You can just throw it away if he doesn't like it, though." "Oh... Sure Ivy did not have cause to suspect her explanation and accepted the bag. "Shelly, do you feel like buying anything you can see for your child to have after giving birth?" mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1
