Ivanka walked away in a hurry. Samuel turned to Michael. “It’s unsafe at night. Quick, send her back now. If not, Rosie will be very worried when she finds out.” Michael pursed his lips and said nothing else. He headed outside. Nick sneered, “Samuel, you’re really good at this!” Samuel grinned. “It’s true. After all, they were husband and wife. No matter what, the original husband and wife are still the best for each other. What do you think?” Nick smiled, but it did not reach his eyes. “It depends on whether they are the right ones for each other. Since they’ve divorced, this shows that they are not the right ones for each other. Even though she didn’t say it, she already hinted at it through her actions.” Samuel parted his lips and inhaled deeply. He pretended to look angry as he stared at Nick. “Nick, how dare you say that in front of me?! If you refuse to admit defeat, let’s go out and fight!” “Do it! After all, I’ve been exercising my fists and kicks daily at home. N
Tanya sat beside Hermes. Her expression was equally dark. She looked down aimlessly. If this were the past, they would usually have a chit chat after the birthday banquet. At that moment, the atmosphere was gloomy. Hermes looked at Tanya. “You’ve seen how Master Barkworth treated us. He doesn’t have the intention to have you marry Michael. Do you still want to persist in this relationship?” Tanya’s eyes flickered with some emotions. She refused to accept the fact that she could not be together with Michael. She refused to accept the fact that Michael would get together with Ivanka in the future. Tanya did not respond to Hermes after some time. Hermes was furious with her for still refusing to give up on Michael. “As you could see for yourself from today’s incident, both Master Barkworth and Master Sadler fought for Ivanka for their grandsons in front of me. They never mentioned anything about you. Couldn’t you already see that you’re no longer a candidate to be their granddau
Tanya’s eyes flickered with some emotions again. Her eyes were filled with endless incredulity. She did not expect her father to be the one giving her the greatest support at that moment. She instantly stopped hesitating. She looked at her father and gave a serious nod. “Got it, Dad. Thank you.”As long as she liked Michael, she would need to persevere. She believed she could win his heart someday.Everything would eventually work out!With this thought in her mind, she felt better.Tanya’s mother, on the contrary, said nothing but heaved a sigh before standing up....After an hour, Ivanka finally reached home. She entered the shower room.The entire day had been a mess. All she wanted was a rest after a good shower.Before she finished blowing her hair dry, her phone kept vibrating. She had taken her phone into the room.It was Sandy. Ivanka wore earphones. Even though she was blowing her hair, it would not affect her from hearing Sandy’s voice.She asked while blowing her
Ivanka’s lips twitched but she said nothing else. She continued to blow her hair. Meanwhile, Sandy casually browsed Twitter. She found it uninteresting after browsing for a while. Ivanka had finished blowing her hair. She put back her hair dryer, then took off her earphones and turned on the speaker. “Aren’t you sleeping yet?” “Not at this hour. I don’t feel sleepy at all,” said Sandy with a hint of sorrowful tone. Ivanka naturally sensed something was off about her, so she asked, “What’s the matter?” Sandy sighed. “Nothing. It’s just that I feel bored with my life.” The more Sandy talked about that, the more Ivanka sensed that something was off about her, so Ivanka pressed again, “Tell me about it.” “Sigh. Perhaps I’ve been too sentimental.” Sandy sounded a bit coy. She was no longer in the mood to browse Twitter. “What exactly has happened?” Sandy’s gaze grew increasingly complicated. Her face somewhat reddened, but more than that, she found it hard to say. Never in
Sandy felt touched, but she said, “No need. What’s the point of coming to me in the middle of the night? I’m alright now.” Ivanka ignored her. She immediately went downstairs with her phone. “Wait for me. I’ll come in a while. I’ll buy you supper.” “Don’t. I—” Before Sandy finished her sentence, Ivanka already hung up. By the time they chatted again, Ivanka was already at Sandy’s house. Ivanka held two packets of late night snacks. One was a hamburger, the other was french fries. When Sandy saw that, the look of sorrow instantly faded. She cried out in surprise, “Wow! I didn’t expect you to bring me these! Thank you!” While saying that, Sandy took the food from Ivanka, put them on the dining table, and unwrapped them. Ivanka changed her shoes and entered her house. After washing her hands, she sat at the dining table and saw Sandy focused on eating her hamburger. Ivanka was not in a hurry to say anything. Likewise, Sandy did not bring up the topic. Ivanka put some f
Ivanka’s eyes flashed slightly. There were some questions she wanted to ask. She thought about it but still did not say anything. It was like she was waiting for her to continue. Sandy raised her hands and covered her head. She was totally panicking. “At that time, I was really foolish. Although I have not experienced it myself, I’ve heard stories. So, I knew at once. I freaking… slept with this man!” When she said it, her voice became a little strange. It was like she wanted to scream her heart out and release her stress, but she did not dare to do so. If the people outside heard, it would not be good for her reputation. Sandy could not help but take a deep breath. She closed her eyes while rubbing her constantly throbbing temples with one hand. She said in resignation, “I don’t know what to do anymore. Now I don’t even dare to face that man again. I…” Ivanka stared at her. “What happened after you woke up that day?” Sandy’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her lips tremb
“That’s pretty much it. After I went to the bathroom, I didn’t dare to come out until he said he was gone…” Ivanka frowned. “So, how did he even get in that day?” “I don’t know, and he didn’t say either. But I do know that there’s no way he would ever set me up to sleep with me. This has to be a coincidence.” “Did you call your cousin after that?” “I did, but she said she didn’t know. She just checked me in and left. She even apologized and said that everything was safe. But I don’t believe her at all!” “She said she wanted to see you about something the other day. Did she talk to you about that?” “She did. She just needs money and wants me to loan her some. But I keep having this feeling that something is not right. She definitely has something to do with what happened this time. I drink pretty often, after all. How could this really be from drinking too much?! Also, I didn’t feel particularly fuzzy from drinking. The next day, I didn’t even feel hungover. Don’t you think
Sandy could not help but let out a heavy sigh. In her eyes was a layer of melancholy that had been absent before. “I don’t know what to do, Iv. I was not trying to hide it from you. It’s just that I… can’t say it out… loud. After all, he and I always had bad blood between us. I thought that we would always be sworn enemies, But this issue came up right in the middle of it. I…” Sandy no longer knew what else to say after that. Ivanka’s hands slowly came to a halt over the keyboard. Then, her gaze fell on her. “It had already happened. Most of the time, all we can do is check if we have missed anything by accident and be on guard. Sandy, I know you’re upset. But you have to find a way to accept it. As for your relationship with him…” Ivanka let her voice fade away. After all, it was a personal relationship between them. There was not much she could say about it. Sanding immediately gritted her teeth. “How could I possibly be with him?! This is just a misunderstanding!”
