Chapter 814 Look Pitiful Just By Looking At It
The next day, Ivy was still sleeping when Damion woke her up.
She grumbled as she rolled out of bed, looking like a sleepy little thing that hadn't fully woken up yet. Damion chuckled at the tuft of hair sticking up on top of her head and asked, "Why so unhappy?"
Ivy pouted and replied, "I've been staying up too late these past few days."
Damion laughed again and said, "You young people can't handle it."
Ivy pouted some more and muttered under her breath, "Well I haven't stayed up late much before this anyway."
But he couldn't really blame her for that.
"Alright then. I'll let you sleep when we get back. For now though, go freshen up. We're going out," Damion said.
Even though Ivy could be a bit stubborn sometimes, she was obedient around Damion.
She went to freshen up and change clothes. She felt a bit more awake after that and didn't have any lingering bad moods as they sat down at the breakfast table together.
Looking at the food on the table in front of them, Ivy asked what was on her mind, "Did you make all this yourself?"
Damion laughed again and flicked his finger against Ivy's head playfully before saying teasingly, "Do you think I'm that amazing?"
Ivy tilted her head to one side with a smile on her face as she replied jokingly, "Well, to prevent your ego from getting too big... no comment."
Damion chuckled lightly before admitting, "Nope! These were delivered by someone else."
Ivy didn't know what was wrong with her. When she heard Damion's words, she actually thought he was just an ordinary person. But as soon as this idea came to mind, Ivy almost choked on her food. According to what she had seen in TV dramas, it was normal for Damion not to be able to cook. He should be a young master who could get anything he wanted without lifting a finger.
Damion saw Ivy biting her fork and wondered what she was thinking about. He raised his hand and gave her a light tap on the head before saying, "Stop thinking about nonsense and eat your food properly." Ivy obediently focused on eating again, showing off how well-behaved and docile she could be.
After breakfast, Damion took Ivy out with him.
Curious now, Ivy asked him where they were going. "To visit an elder," replied Damion.
Instantly, she sat up straighter in her seat with a nervous expression on her face - meeting elders always made her anxious - Damion turned his head and laughed at the sight of it all. "Why are you so scared?" he teased.
Biting down hard on her lip, Ivy replied softly, "I'm just a little nervous."
"It's not like we're meeting my parents or anything," said Damion jokingly.
Feeling close to tears now from frustration at how lightly he seemed to take things that worried her so much, Ivy couldn't understand why everything seemed so easy for him while every little thing felt like such an ordeal for herself!
Damion said, "But you can also think of it as meeting the parents."
Ivy was speechless.
Although she knew Damion was just teasing her, she really felt like jumping out of the car now.
Damion continued, "Although Camdyn is not my grandfather, he has watched me grow up since I was born. He's no different from my own grandfather and maybe even cares about me more than my grandfather does."
After all, Damion didn't spend much time with his grandfather and didn't know how he would feel about him.
Ivy didn't understand all this but Damion's words made her realize that the person they were going to meet was important to him.
Even though Ivy understood that Damion was joking when he said they were meeting the parents, she still felt like crying.
Her past experiences had taught her to fear meeting elders because she never knew how to handle them properly. She had already imagined a terrible scenario in her head.
Seeing Ivy so nervous made Damion feel helpless. He reached out and held Ivy's hand saying, "What are you afraid of when I'm here?"
Ivy really wanted to tell Damion that it was because of him that she was scared in the first place. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't be so nervous right now.
However, no matter how nervous Ivy felt, some things still needed to be faced head-on. She took a deep breath and told Damion, "Damian, I won't embarrass you."
Damion shook his head and chuckled at Ivy's words, before finally giving her a rough rub on the head.
There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, but if one listened carefully, people could also hear that 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 replace 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."
