This well–founded statement left Ivy stunned.
She didn’t expect that after only meeting once, he had already grasped Rod’s personality and style of doing things. She also didn’t expect that he would take the initiative to offer to protect her.
But she also had to admit that his concerns were valid.
Based on her understanding of Rod, she suffered a setback today. He would definitely not take it lightly and would find an opportunity to continue to entangle her.
Bruce’s concerns, indeed, had a high possibility of happening.
After thinking for a while, Ivy agreed to go out later and promised to inform him beforehand.
Bruce was also relieved and then took her upstairs.
As soon as the two people pushed open the door, Doreen started setting off fireworks with a bang.
“Surprise! Let’s welcome Ivy to Soltharion!”
Ivy was startled by the sound and almost fell at the doorway.
Bruce, who had anticipated the surprise his mother had prepared, quickly reached out and helped her, while also picking off the flower petals that had fallen on her head.
Ivy’s attention was drawn to a group of people in the living room, her pupils suddenly dilated, and
there was a hint of doubt in her tone.
“What is this?”
Doreen didn’t beat around the bush either, she pulled her over and walked up to this group of people, introducing them one by one.
“They were all neighbors in the vicinity, this one is Wilson, and this one is Alvin…”
All night long, Ivy was being dragged to meet many unfamiliar friends.
At first, she felt a little awkward, but with Doreen mediating, she gradually relaxed and immersed herself in this cheerful and pleasant atmosphere.
After finishing a dance, she felt a bit tired, so she found a corner to sit down and watched the lively
scene in front of her.
The invisible pressure that had been accumulating in my mind gradually dissipated and lightened.

Bruce, who had been missing for a long time, just came downstairs.
He casually picked up two drinks and walked over to her, handing one of them to her.
“My mother likes lively atmosphere and wanted to introduce some friends to you, so that’s why she invited so many people over. If you feel tired, you can go rest first. They are used to entertaining themselves and won’t mind.”
Watching Doreen still dancing gracefully, Ivy’s face showed an expression of admiration as she smiled and spoke.
“I knew you had good intentions, and I also had a great time. I didn’t feel tired at all. Watching them so full of energy, my mood improved a lot.”
Seeing that she didn’t mind, Bruce’s lips also curved into a faint smile.
“Be happy, people always have to look forward, there is no need to worry about things that have already been settled.”
Upon hearing him suddenly utter such comforting words, a ripple of emotion appeared in Ivy’s
heart.
She glanced at him, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, unable to resist the urge to chat with him
more.
“Before coming to Cyrenth, I thought you were someone difficult to get along with and intended to keep my distance from you. However, after meeting you, you turned out to be completely different from what I had imagined. In just a day and a half, you have become my most trusted and closest
friend in Soltharion. It’s truly unimaginable.”
Upon hearing her admiring sigh, the smile at the corner of Bruce’s mouth deepened.
“It is my honor to receive your approval. However, I chatted less on Line before because of the time difference. I was afraid of disturbing your rest and I also felt that many things cannot be clarified online. I planned to arrange them after you arrived, so I rarely sent messages.”
I see.
Ivy finally understood why there was such a big contrast between him before and after.
I used to think too much.
However, this does fit his personality.
