Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1849 Kissing In The Darkness
In the darkness, Michael grabbed Ivanka’s hand and threw her into his arms. The next moment, he cradled her head and kissed her. Ivanka’s mind instantly went blank. Michael’s breath filled her nostrils. She opened her eyes. When she saw the familiar face, she fell into a trance. They were so close that the tips of their noses touched each other. The stubble on his chin stung Ivanka. It hurt slightly. It took a while for her to recover her senses and attempt to push Michael away. His chest was very warm. To be precise, it was hot. His chest was so hot that it could melt her. At the same time, she felt his muscular chest. Michael tightened his grasp with one hand on top of the other. He protected Ivanka’s head with his right hand and wrapped around her waist with his left hand. No matter how hard she tried to push him away, he never budged. None of them knew how long this had lasted. Michael gradually relaxed. Ivanka instantly pushed him away. She wiped her lips and

Ivanka lifted up her skirt in embarrassment and revealed her knees. Under the moonlight and partly because of her fair skin, her cheeks turned red. Michael grabbed Ivanka’s ankle with one hand. His hand was very warm. His entire body was very warm. Ivanka could not help but recall their kiss. She then pulled back her legs uncontrollably. Michael thought she was afraid of feeling pain. He looked amused and gave her a look. “Are you afraid of pain?” Ivanka shook her head. She had been through an even more painful experience than this. She was just not used to such intimate contact… Michael spoke to himself. “Right. How could you be afraid of feeling pain when you’re so heartless?” His sentence was a double entendre. Ivanka was merciless to others, but even more so to herself. Ivanka figured out what he meant. Her gaze turned still. “Let me help myself.” After she finished the sentence, she wanted to take the antiseptic. Michael avoided her hand. Ivanka sat on th

Ivanka said nothing. But Michael knew that she heard him. After that, he went downstairs. Upon hearing the sound of the door closing and his footsteps, Ivanka heaved a sigh. She laid down on the bed and recalled the image that happened not long ago. She should be angry about it. She should throw a tantrum at Michael. In fact, she had just done that. But when she saw Michael in his current state, she felt a sense of guilt. Ivanka was startled by her own thoughts. She shook her head as if trying to push these thoughts to the back of her mind. She thought she should not feel guilty about it. Michael was the guilty one. Meanwhile, Michael went downstairs and fixed the circuit breaker but to no avail. It had affected the entire neighborhood. After ten minutes, the electricity returned. When Michael returned to Ivanka’s room, she already locked the door. He wanted to remind her a thing or two. But he was unsure if she had fallen asleep, so he said nothing about it.

Lucas marveled while looking at Michael as if he was seeing a ghost. The tender officially started. This time, five companies were involved. Ivanka had presupposed the possible outcome: Yoda Technology would be the only company that could threaten Lane’s Group. As expected, the other three companies were temporarily asked to leave after giving a round of speeches. The second round of speeches followed. Candice was the chief planner. She naturally had to present the speech on her own this time. “Don’t be nervous.” Ivanka inclined her head and looked at Candice. Candice kept wiping the sweat in her palms. Candice smiled sheepishly. She did not look nervous. Still, this was her first time. Ivanka said, “We’ve done the rehearsals many times before. The proposal is all good. Besides, the promised return is very tempting. You just need to deliver the speech as usual. Cheers.” While Ivanka was saying this, she made a cheering gesture. Candice nodded. After the representative f

Yoda’s smile instantly turned stiff. Before he could school his smug grin, the atmosphere became awkward. Ivanka and her group maintained their composure and politeness. But their subordinates snickered behind the back. At the same time, they thanked Michael from the bottom of their hearts. One word from him and the situation was reversed. His statement caught Yoda off guard. Yoda rose. He wanted to burst into anger but he dared not. He wanted to say something, but no words came out. Only after he composed himself, he said, “Mr. Lucas, as you already knew, the other party cannot offer a lower price than this. As a businessman, we don’t always reveal everything from the beginning. I believe you can understand this well too, right?” Lucas said nothing. But his smile was unreadable. He figured out that Michael only wanted his wife to win the tender. The old coot had simply not realized this. Meanwhile, Ivanka sneered, and the crowd turned to her. She said, “Mr. Yoda, are

Candice’s hands were trembling when she went to sign the contract. She felt surreal until the stamped contract was in her hand. It took her a while to recover from her shock. She wanted to share this joy and achievement with Ivanka immediately. But after looking around, she did not see her. Candice was puzzled and got the other staff to look for Ivanka everywhere. At that very moment, Ivanka had just come out of the washroom. She was wiping the water from her hands while looking downward. By the time she realized a shadow was looming over her, it was already too late for her to look up Suddenly, she slammed into a solid wall of flesh.Ivanka let out a hiss and took a half step back.While rubbing the aching corner of her forehead, she looked at the person who came along.Who else could it be, if not Michael? At that moment, he had his hands in his pockets as he stared at her calmly.Ivanka looked around, then stared at his lips.“What? Aren’t you going to thank m

Everyone looked at her.Ivanka smiled mysteriously. “It’s fine to have a celebration banquet. But it’s my treat. We’ll go on a cruise. After all, it’s not just credit to the Project Department alone. The other departments and the other high-level managers have also pulled multiple all-nighters as well.”Naturally, the crowd had no objection.Candice smiled coyly and said sheepishly, “I didn’t think about this thoroughly then. Everyone has truly worked hard during this period.”Ivanka laughed. “Then everyone should quickly go back and get ready!”With a cheer, the crowd dispersed.They left Candice and Ivanka behind. Michael, who was squeezed aside a long while ago also remained.Candice finally realized Michael was there. With some surprise, she called out to her cousin.Michael, who had been ignored, stared quietly at Ivanka. “I’ve figured out what favor I want to be repaid with.”Ivanka stared at him and signaled with her eyes for him to speak.“I want… To attend your celeb

It was from Michael.[How long till the celebration banquet? Don’t forget to invite your benefactor.]Ivanka looked at her cell phone and snorted.If word got out that the great Michael Barkworth cared so much about a spot on a luxury cruise, people would laugh at him. She wanted to tease him for a bit.[We forgot about you. There are no more spots.]He did not reply for a long while. Just when Ivanka thought he would not reply, Michael sent a message.[What? Really?

Ivanka sneered and thought to herself. “So this is why the fox is suddenly acting friendly toward the hen. Now their intentions are clear.”Mandy, seizing the moment, raised her glass of red wine. Apologizing was not easy for her, but she convinced herself that everything would return to her favor by the end of the night.She forced herself to say it. “Ms. Ivanka, I was out of line before. Let me toast to you. I hope we can put our past grievances behind us. You’re magnanimous. Please forgive me.”Perhaps imagining Ivanka’s downfall later tonight, Mandy’s lips curled into a smile. It carried just enough of an impression of sincerity to make her words seem genuine.Ivanka smiled and said, “Sure. If you want to come back, just go through the interview process. I won’t stand in your way. But whether or not you can return to the company will depend on your own abilities.”Ferris and Mandy’s faces immediately darkened.Ivanka clearly understood they were asking for Mandy’s reinstateme
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1863 Execute The Plan
Michael had just stepped out of the restroom. To get back into the event, he either needed to take the direct route or make a long detour around half the venue.And yet, this woman was shamelessly occupying the passageway. She seemed completely at ease with inconveniencing others.Mandy flushed, not from coyness, but from sheer embarrassment.Thinking back to her earlier assumptions and behavior, she wished she could disappear into the floor.She whispered, “Sorry,” before stepping aside to clear the way.Michael said nothing, but the disdain in his gaze cut deeper than any words could.Mandy watched as Michael walked straight toward Ivanka.Even when Ivanka was not speaking to him, Michael simply stayed quietly by her side.The sight made Mandy’s grip on her wine glass tighten abruptly. Her eyes flashed with intense jealousy.Her emotions, too intense to contain, did not go unnoticed by Ferris.When Mandy snapped out of her thoughts, she realized Ferris was staring directly

Mandy’s once-beautiful makeup was smudged beyond recognition. It was as embarrassing as it could get.They had planned to sneak away unnoticed and find a room to freshen up.Actually, the crowd was immersed in the joyous atmosphere. No one seemed to notice them.However, Candice, always sharp-eyed, spotted them immediately.After Ivanka finished speaking, it was Candice’s turn to address the crowd.She smiled as she stepped onto the stage. She took the microphone and began by expressing her gratitude to Ivanka. Then, feigning surprise, she looked toward the back of the crowd. “Mr. Clark, Ms. Cruella, what happened to you? Why are you in such a state?”The crowd turned to follow her gaze and spot the disheveled duo.At that moment, Mandy wanted nothing more than to strangle Candice.To make matters worse, the lighting technician, mistaking them for special guests, spotlighted them.It threw their embarrassing state into full view.If not for the inappropriate setting, Mandy mi
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1861 First Dance
All eyes around them focused on the pair.Michael caught sight of the dejected young man walking away from the corner of his eye. A triumphant smirk played on his lips. He exuded the air of a victor and gave a gentlemanly bow.“Ms. Ivanka, may I have the honor of this opening dance?”Ivanka smiled. She felt a mix of exasperation and genuine amusement.Slowly, she placed her hand in Michael’s and prompted a wave of cheers and applause from the crowd.As the music began, everyone paused. Their attention was drawn to Ivanka and Michael on the dance floor.Under the crowd’s gaze, neither showed a hint of nervousness.When Michael advanced, Ivanka retreated; when Ivanka moved forward, Michael stepped back. Their movements were fluid and perfectly in sync.Ivanka’s dance was mesmerizing. Her every gesture and motion carried an elegance uniquely her own.When the music swelled and her red dress twirled through the air, she looked utterly stunning.The spotlight tracked their every m
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1860 Asking For a Dance
Ivanka glanced at him. She did not say anything and walked ahead on her own.Everyone else had already landed except for two people, Ferris and Mandy.Central Island was massive. Ivanka had just chartered the whole island up.When they landed, it was 6 p.m. Ivanka brought everyone to the dining area after they had fun for a while until 6:30 p.m.The dining area was a buffet-styled ball.Food was on both sides, with plenty of cold cuts, charcuterie and fresh produce. They were all very fresh too.In the center was the dance floor.Everyone could invite their desired dance partner to dance with them here.Ivanka sat by the side as she watched the men and women on the dance floor. She drank quietly by herself.A man approached with a glass of wine.Ivanka noticed and looked back at him.The man gave a slight greeting toward Ivanka and sat down next to her right after. However, he kept a respectable social distance between them so that Ivanka would not be able to plan anything.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Clark. I was busy just now and did not receive your call. Ms. Lane is still socializing, and she can’t leave. Her phone is with me.”Ferris kept his anger down and asked, “I’m asking you this now. What do we do now?”Candice said unhurriedly, “Here’s the situation, Mr. Clark. Ms. Lane took into consideration that it would be unsafe to land after dark. So, she set the time to be 4 p.m. on the dot. The both of you were late. But out of sentiment, Ms. Lane has prepared a separate boat for you. As to whether you two want to come or not, it’s all up to you.”After saying that, Candice directly hung up the phone.At that exact moment, a man in a fisherman’s attire approached.When he walked in, Mandy raised and pinched her nose.The fisherman looked embarrassed but remembered his purpose and asked, “Are you Mr. Ferris Clark and Ms. Mandy Cruella?” Mandy refused to speak. Ferris tidied his suit while almost humming a syllable from out of his nose.The fisherman said,
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1858 Arrived Late
Ivanka was silent.Michael suddenly remembered something and said, “In fact, you are not much older than Candice. She can cry when things happen, and she can be afraid. And you… don’t need to force yourself to hold on.”Michael was trying to say that he had Ivanka’s back. But in the end, he could not say it.Ivanka smiled. It had a hint of mockery in it, but was beautiful and eye-catching.Compared to her, the blue sea instantly seemed to lose its color and became a backdrop to frame her beauty. “I’m not forcing myself to hold on. I simply am unaffected.”With that said, Ivanka left and began greeting everyone.One by one, people boarded the ship. By 4 p.m., almost everyone was here. Most of them were relatively punctual.Ferris and Mandy were exceptions.Candice had just come out of the captain’s room. She walked through the crowd with rushed steps and found Ivanka in a hurry.She said, “The captain asked if we should set sail now. If we keep staying, he’s afraid we won’t

For once, Michael did not listen and slow down. He stepped on the gas pedal.The car did not stop until they reached the dock.Ivanka glared at him. She said nothing and did not rush to get out of the car. But it was clear that she was angry.Michael looked at Ivanka being all puffed up from anger and could not help but feel a little amused. Just as he reached out his hand to rub her hair, Ivanka dodged it.Michael’s hand froze in mid-air.He resentfully withdrew his hand and apologized, “I saw that people are already arriving one after another. If people saw you getting off halfway, it would seem even more suspicious, right? It’s better to be graceful and alight at the pier together. No one will overthink or ask too many questions.”Ivanka still did not answer. However, her expression was not as cold as before, at least it softened quite a bit.Her glare was not as cold as before either. Ivanka unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.Michael also followed right after
