Chapter 366
Cory didn’t let Calvin and the others tell Rosalynn that Ivy ran away from home.
When they got home, Ivy apologized to Calvin with her head down, then went to her painting room,
locked the door, and shut herself in without saying a word to Cory the entire time.
She didn’t eat dinner either. She went to take a shower when she was tired of painting and then
crawled back into bed and went to sleep without even asking for a
bedtime story.
Laura had never seen Ivy so upset before. She sat on the carpet by the little bed, looking worried.
“Cory, who on earth did Ivy go to see?” Calvin downstairs asked in confusion. He was supposed to go
with Cory to pick up someone, but Cory refused. Calvin thought about it all afternoon, and the more he
thought about it, the more something seemed off.

“She went to see someone she knows,” Cory replied coldly. “Calvin, you’d better not think about it, or

Cory seemed to see through his thoughts: “We’re keeping them in the dark so they don’t get upset.
Calvin, Granny Hilaria’s health isn’t as good as it used to be.”
Cory caught every one of Calvin’s weaknesses.
He immediately sat upright: “I know, I won’t say anything!”
Cory wasn’t worried about Laura. He knew she valued her job and wouldn’t talk about today’s events.

Rosalynn’s car drove into the garage.
Moments later, she walked out of the elevator, looking exhausted.
Seeing Cory, she was stunned: “honey, why haven’t you gone to bed yet?”
“Late too much tonight,” Cory answered calmly. “Mom, you look really tired.”
“Just a few more days, and I’ll be on vacation after I finish this project!” Rosalynn walked over and
hugged Cory, rubbing her cheek against him. “Is your sister asleep?”
“Mhm.” Cory paused for a moment, “Mom, I want to take Ivy back to Jaime Jules‘ place.”
“Huh?”
Rosalynn looked puzzled as she looked up at Cory: “Why?”
“Jaime is lonely by himself.” Cory answered seriously, “And Ivy needs to prepare for her school life.”
Cory’s reasons were all very persuasive.
“Don’t worry, after I finish this project, I’ll take you guys out for a trip, and we can go back to prepare
after. There will still be plenty of time.” Rosalynn thought Cory was worried that Ivy would fail to adjust
herself in the school.

Cory paused for a moment, not really, he liked the H Country a lot.

But nothing was more important than his mom and sister. He wouldn’t let the bad guys take his sister
away, and he wouldn’t let his mom get hurt.
So, he and his sister had to leave!
“I see.” Rosalynn always respected her children’s wishes.
Since Cory didn’t like it here, she definitely wouldn’t force him to stay.
However, an unexpected event occurred the next morning.
Rosalynn was eating breakfast downstairs when the doorbell rang.
Calvin had disappeared somewhere, and Laura had gone to the children’s room to wake up Cory and
Ivy.
Rosalynn went to open the door, and then froze.
“Surprise!”
Hilaria stood at the door, smiling from ear to ear.
“Didn’t you say you had a last–minute project and couldn’t come for a while?” Rosalynn asked in
confusion.
“How else wouldTcreate a surprise?” Hilaria walked in with a smile.
