"The last will and testament of Victoria Marie Belfrey," Nicholas states reading the folder, "To my first born, Ivy Maria Belfrey, I leave my house and business with the knowledge that she'll lead it to success."

Ivy who sat next to me, nodded. "To my stepdaughter, Jacinda Vidrio, I leave deed to the small garden Lucy loves so much. And finally, Rose, my darling Rose Mary, I leave you the deed to the pub I have built."

"Wait! Hold up! Come again," I said. "mother left me the pub?!" Nicholas nods. "You've got to be  kidding me!" I stare.

"Thanks Nick." Jacinda smiles.

Ivy offered him a handshake. "Ms. Belfrey." Nicholas smiles, as he shakes Ivy's hand.

"Mr. Branson." Ivy smiles.

"Ms. Belfrey," he turns to me. "it has been a pleasure."

I shook his hand then Jacinda called, "Lucy! Baby, time to go!" Then she turned to Ivy, "Oh before I forget, have you enrolled Ana to school yet?"

"I haven't enrolled her yet." Ivy admits. "But I will not to worry. I'm going to just need to find the time to…"

"Why not let Rose, enroll her?"

"Ima get Lucy ready…" I was not too thrilled about the idea of me enrolling Ana to school. "Lucy! Ana!"

"Can I please stay here, mom?" Lucy begs.

"Ivy might…" Jacinda looks at her daughter.

"Not to worry, Jacinda, we were just gonna stay here for the day." Ivy reassures.

"Oh!" Jacinda seems a tad shock, "Are you sure? I mean I can take Lucy home and Sabine can watch her?"

Ivy smiled, "I'll be happy to watch her plus I think my Ana needs to be with other children…"

"If you're sure…" Jacinda looks sounded uncertain.

"Yes." Ivy nods.

Jacinda gave her daughter a kiss on the head, "Be good, okay?"
