His Eagle Eyes on Me

"That's a peach tree." Avery noticed that Ivy was drawn to it and went into the store with Ivy.

"Mom, peach flowers don't bloom during this time of the year, right?" Ivy asked. "Is this fake? It looks real, though."

"These are real peach blossoms," the owner explained. "You can take a closer look if you don't believe me. It smells great as well! We take care of it in a specific way so that it blooms in January, so it costs a little more."

Avery did not ask about the price and simply inspected the tree. "I think it's real." She turned to look at Ivy. "If you like it, we will buy it."

Ivy loved it but noticed that there was only one peach tree in the store and leaned over to whisper into Avery's ear, "I think Layla is going to love this."

Avery turned to look at the tree once again and realized that Ivy was right.

"Mom, don't speak. Let me try to bargain with them," Ivy whispered and proceeded to ask the owner about the price.

The owner noticed that both Ivy and Avery were dressed elegantly and said, "You have great taste. This tree only has blossoms and doesn't bear fruits. We imported it from overseas and placing this in your house will bring you great fortune. If you maintain it well, it can live quite long. This is the only tree we imported, so I will sell it to you at a cheaper price. It cost us three thousand when we bought it. You can have it at four thousand."

Ivy had not expected a peach tree that did not bear fruit to cost up to four thousand.
