One of the main reasons why Ivy loved Ted and could not let him go was that Ted liked her for who she was. They were just like an everyday couple without their status coming between them … well, when they were together.
Ted never let her pay for anything when they went out together, unlike her friends, even with her higher social status. As a matter of fact. He nearly broke up with her when he learned about her rich family background! Ted was not comfortable that he could meet her family's demands if they found out about him, and he had been right. They had not even considered him a person!
"I thought that I brought you up better Ivy. Why did you bring this nobody home?"
These were Lucy's first words to Ted, and it had hurt both the young lovers, but that was the reality on the ground. Her father had just given her a disappointed look and left them. Though they had never stopped her from seeing Ted, they acted as if Ted Mills never existed.
