Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1929 No Way
“As for husband and wife, if they have been separated for a long time, why do they have to suffer just to keep it up? Marriage is not something you do alone.”“Your words are very touching, but I do not agree.”Ivanka’s words had some truth in them.She wanted to persuade Jolie as well.Unfortunately, Jolie did not appreciate it and only felt that Ivanka was humiliating her. She was making her deepest heartfelt wounds public and then constantly rubbing salt into them.When she saw nothing worked on Ivanka, Jolie could no longer keep her composure.So Jolie put everything on the table too. She pushed the mocha away. “Ms. Ivanka, this is my family’s family issue. Did you have to come and get involved?”When she saw that Jolie was no longer acting anymore. Ivanka did not feel pressured to hold back anymore. She put down her cup and her eyes were filled with viciousness.“Mrs. Clark, getting to this position was not easy for me. I’ve always held a single belief all along the wa
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1930 Red Roses
Michael did not take long to send over the location.Ivanka glanced at it, confirmed the general location, and drove there.She arrived at the place. It was a shopping mall.Michael stood outside the mall waiting for her. He grinned once he saw Ivanka arrive.He attracted frequent glances from the surrounding people.Michael’s appearance was exceptional. While he waited outside for Ivanka, people kept staring at him. However, Michael looked cold and icy when he did not smile, which helped him prevent a lot of flirting.Of course, some girls were still brave enough to chase after their love and rushed up to ask for Michael’s contact information. They were sent back when Michael replied, “I already have a wife.” Others wanted to see what kind of beauty this handsome man’s partner was.After meeting Ivanka, only did they realize what a match made in heaven meant.The two of them were such a good match in both appearance and temperament. When she saw Michael Ivanka’s gloom fr
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1931 Watching A Movie
An unusual feeling lingered.Accepting this bouquet of roses felt like agreeing to Michael’s request. It was as if she had agreed to a date.Ivanka felt pressure on that thought.She said, “If these roses are given purely as a gesture of friendship, I’ll accept them. But Mr. Barkworth, if these mean something else, I’m afraid I must decline.”Ivanka was straightforward and honest.Until she had sorted out her feelings for him and whether or not to take their relationship further, she did not want to do anything that might cross boundaries or lead Michael on.A relationship that began in ambiguity would inevitably end the same way.She did not want that.Michael’s disappointment was evident, though fleeting. He chose not to dwell on it.Despite his slight sadness, he smiled calmly and said, “It’s a gift between friends. Please accept it without any worries.”Michael chose to change the subject.He said casually, “I bought movie tickets. Want to go together?”Ivanka, still ho
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1932 Be Yourself
He looked genuinely content, so much so that Ivanka could not find the right words to say for a moment.“Actually, you don’t have to do this.”Michael was proud, accomplished, and always carried himself with an air of invincibility.Though he clearly did not know much about dating, not even his assistant Evan had any advice. So, in desperation, he had resorted to scouring the internet for date ideas.Ivanka saw through it, but she chose not to call him out.There was a certain warmth in being cared for and liked so earnestly, even if it was awkwardly executed.Still, she did not want the usually untouchable Michael to lose sight of himself in the process.Ivanka’s smile softened. Then the amusement in her expression slowly faded away.Ivanka took the plush toy from Michael’s hands and handed it to a nearby child who had been waiting impatiently for a turn at the claw machine. His eyes had been glued longingly to the toys inside.The child let out a joyful cheer upon receiving

The owner brought over a plate of freshly grilled barbecue.Everything looked delicious and tempting: cheese-stuffed mushrooms, grilled zucchini, roasted potatoes, lamb skewers, and bacon-wrapped shrimp.Ivanka handed the disposable cutleries to Michael.Michael hesitated for a moment before taking them. He glanced at Ivanka.She gestured toward the platter of barbecue. “Sandy and I found this little gem of a barbecue joint. Give it a try. It’s surprisingly clean for a place like this. There’s no greasy mess everywhere.”She had wiped the table earlier because she thought Michael might not be used to this kind of setting.Michael looked around and took in the surroundings. She was right.There were no drunk men shouting, clinking glasses, or overly loud, rowdy patrons.Nor was it coated in grease, with trash and leftovers strewn all over the floor.It was, surprisingly, quite tidy.Michael nodded. He picked up a piece of grilled lamb and placed it in his mouth.It was noth
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1934 Injury
The next morning, when Ivanka woke up, she found herself lying in her bed at home. For a moment, she was dazed.As her memory clicked into place, she recalled that Michael had brought her back.Thinking about everything that happened the day before, Ivanka rubbed her head and paused. Instead of getting up immediately, she turned her gaze toward the window.Sunlight streamed in. It made her squint against its brightness.It was not until she heard Michael’s voice from outside the room that she snapped back to reality.“Are you awake? If you’re up, come down for breakfast.”Ivanka responded with a soft “okay,” tossed the blanket aside, slid into her slippers, and went to the bathroom to freshen up.When she arrived at the dining room, Michael had already laid out a full spread of food.They were all her favorites.Michael noticed her coming down and pulled out a chair for her.“Have a seat.”Ivanka thanked him and sat down.She glanced at the table filled with food that looke
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1935 The Lawsuit
Michael’s twinkling eyes seemed to say, “You have to take responsibility for me.”Ivanka awkwardly averted her gaze. She scratched her head as she muttered, “Sorry, that was rude of me.”Michael gave a weak smile and brushed it off as if it did not matter.His appearance resembled that of a delicate beauty in distress.Ivanka bit her lip and seemed lost in thought.“You don’t need to blame yourself too much. This isn’t your fault.” Michael tried to comfort Ivanka and lighten her mood.Ivanka did not respond right away. Instead, she suddenly patted Michael’s shoulder. “Since you’re injured, you should skip today’s court hearing.”Today was the official trial date for Ferris and Mandy.Michael was initially supposed to accompany Ivanka. His injury acting up was not part of his plan, but since it happened, he thought he might as well take advantage of it.He wanted to gain some of her sympathy.However, such was not the result he had in mind.Michael immediately sat up straig
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 1936 Conciliation Failed
Ivanka considered it as saying hello.However, Jolie was clearly unimpressed. Her sharp and unrelenting gaze bore into Ivanka like a predator locking onto its prey.It was not entirely surprising. After all, they had already fallen out before entering the courtroom.Before the trial began, Jolie had tried to dissuade Ivanka.“If you withdraw the charges now, the Carlova family will be in your debt. In other words, you’ll have our backing.” Jolie had cornered Ivanka in the mediation room for one last attempt to reach a settlement outside court.Over the years, while the Carlova family’s growth had stagnated, their influence remained significant. After all, even a withered camel was larger than a horse. Many would still consider it a privilege to owe them a favor.Ivanka was not surprised by Jolie’s attempt.However, compared to gaining their favor, she was more determined to see Ferris behind bars.Having come so far, there was no turning back. Doing so would betray the hardsh

Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2250 Why Don’t You Just Marry Me
Egbert stormed off in fury, but Sandy’s rage had not cooled in the slightest. She even lashed out at Ivan. “You shouldn’t have stopped me just now! If I’d given him a good scolding, or even a beating, maybe it would’ve finally knocked some sense into him. Otherwise, he’ll keep coming back. He’s always trying to use me for his own purposes!”She was so angry she was practically grinding her teeth. Ivan pressed his lips together and let out a long sigh. “With the way you looked like you were ready to kill someone, what did you expect me to do? Just stand there and watch you commit murder?”He was really worried when he saw how Sandy was losing control. “What’s the point of that old b*stard still being alive anyway?” Sandy said coldly. If she could really get rid of that old man, she would do it so she could avenge her mother and let go of that grudge she had been holding on.Ivan shook his head and said in a low voice, “Then think about it, how hard did you work to get to where yo
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2249 Not How A Proper Young Lady Should Behave
Sandy exploded. “Eighty million? Why don’t you go rob a bank? Or better yet, see if that wrinkled old face of yours is worth anything as collateral!”Sandy was fuming.Egbert had not expected Sandy to be so vulgar. He turned back, enraged.His black eyes shot daggers like he could rip her apart on the spot. Sandy did not flinch. Instead, she lifted her chin and gave him a cold, mocking smile. “What? Are you so mad that you’re thinking about hitting me? Do you want me to remind you of the law? We have no legal ties anymore. If you so much as touch me, that’s assault. And let’s not forget, you barged into my workplace to cause a scene.”“Sandy, I don’t know what kind of twisted morals your birth mother and adoptive mother taught you, but just look at yourself now! Do you even resemble a proper human being?”Egbert was extremely disappointed in Sandy. The one thing Sandy hated most was when people brought up her birth mother and adoptive mother. Those two women were the most import

Egbert snapped at Sandy coldly. His gaze was pressing.However, that had no effect on Sandy. Her lips even curled into a mocking smile as she said, “I’m not one of your McNeil pets. That look, your words, they cannot intimidate me at all.”At the mention of “pets,” Egbert was so furious that he slammed his cane against the floor with a loud crack. “Listen to yourself! Is that any way for a lawyer to speak? Do you even understand the meaning of respect, decency, and manners? Is that how your mother raised you?”Sandy had been mean and harsh on purpose to kill whatever sliver of hope he held onto.Just as she wished, he was angered.Watching him lose his composure, Sandy even felt a flicker of satisfaction rise within her. Her mother and herself were thrown out and lived a tough life while her father stood by uselessly. Who else was to blame, if not this old man standing before her?“My mother raised me to be a decent person. She taught me never to push away what’s rightfully mine,
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2247 You Sure Have A Lot Of Attitude
Thomas stated his purpose.Sandy’s reaction, however, was full of repulsion. She frowned. Even her tone was curt. “Uncle, I made it very clear about seeing him the last time we spoke. He never once considered me part of the McNeil family. If it weren’t for my mother taking me in, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Now that I’ve grown up and suddenly seem useful, he wants to claim me back? I was abandoned by the McNeil family the moment I was born. I’m not stupid enough to become a pawn for your family!”Sandy was furious.She had always treated Thomas with a certain courtesy, but at the moment, that line had clearly been crossed.Thomas, though only the messenger, could feel the weight of her resentment. “It may not be as bad as you think. If you won’t go, Dad will come find you himself.”That was the truth. Yet Sandy did not spare the old man a shred of respect. She scoffed. “He might be your dad, your head of the family, but he’s nothing to me. From the moment I was abandoned, th

Sandy was really surprised to see Ivanka. “When did you get back?”“Today,” Ivanka answered honestly.“You have quite a packed schedule for just one day.” Sandy teased her.When they had planned to take down Coco last time, Ivanka was not around. Then Michael returned. From what Sandy could tell, they were always either together or closely following each other.Ivanka did not respond to her teasing. “I’ll only be here for a day or two, then I would have to leave again.”Sandy was speechless. She rolled her eyes at Ivanka. “Are you going to become a full-time jet setter?”“She can’t help it,” Anna answered for Ivanka. Just as she finished saying that, Anna’s phone rang. It was another case to follow up on. She had to step away to take the call.Only Ivanka and Sandy remained in the office. “You look exhausted. If you keep going like this, I’m worried you’ll wear yourself out!” Sandy shook her head and expressed her concern for Ivanka. Ivanka chuckled. “I wouldn’t go that fa

When she heard what Anna said, Ivanka immediately teased. “Why, can’t I even come to the firm?”“Well, of course, you can come. You are an important partner; why can’t you come?” Anna laughed and looked at Ivanka, annoyed. Immediately after, she made a cup of tea for Ivanka.The tea was also of fine quality. She had bought it.Ivanka also remembered how she, Anna, and Sandy, the three of them, used to work hard together in the firm after she divorced Michael. Originally, she wanted to live on her own. However, one thing happened after another, and her plans got delayed. “I don’t see Sandy. Has she gone to handle cases?” Ivanka sipped a mouthful of tea, and immediately after, she asked Anna about Sandy’s whereabouts.Anna told Ivanka truthfully. “Sandy recently took over a very tricky case. She wants to make a not-guilty defense for that person. But the father of the deceased is the Groethe family, a rather prestigious family in Bostone. How could a commoner fight with a rich ki
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2244 What I’m Most Worried About
But as time went on, things happened one after another. While they were in contact with each other, she also slowly understood Jonah’s personality.The most important thing was that Jonah was also honest with her later on.When Jonah mentioned this again, Ivanka could not help but scrutinize Jonah again.He was starting to become unhinged!“Jonah, you need to stabilize your emotions. Sometimes, when you feel impatient, you should just close your eyes and take a good rest. You should not have such emotions.”Ivanka spoke solemnly toward Jonah and advised him. When he saw Ivanka’s serious expression, Jonah instantly also realized that he had lost himself.Ivanka was not like Chiara, who could accept him losing control. If he lost control in front of Ivanka, it would affect Ivanka’s mood. That would make him courting death too! This would put a halt to all his opportunities!Jonah also realized this problem. He was very distressed. He could not even explain why his emotions had
Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife Chapter 2243 How Could He Think Like That?
When Ivanka said this, she pressed her hand on Jonah’s shoulder. There was no other meaning, she wanted Jonah to calm down.But this instead gave Jonah an opportunity. He grabbed Ivanka’s wrist. Then he tugged forward forcefully… Ivanka was caught off guard, and her whole body fell on top of him.He then took advantage of the situation and held Ivanka in his arms.The faint scent entered his nose, Jonah was intoxicated for a moment.But at that moment, he felt like he was waking up from a dream.Ivanka could not be so intimate with him. The sensations of touch and warmth in front of him were so real again. It was not an illusion, it was his compulsion!After realizing this, Jonah hurriedly pushed Ivanka away. He even more quickly apologized to Ivanka. “Iv, I’m sorry. I lost control. I didn’t mean to…”“I know.”Ivanka uttered softly, but her tone was cold.She knew. Neither did she blame him. But why was she using that tone, with that look on her face?“No, Iv. you’re blami

“Jonah, I don’t like you. I told you, I only see you as a friend. When I’m unwilling to do something, no amount of moral coercion would work on me.”Ivanka spoke up bluntly. She did not want Jonah to cling to something impossible.Jonah was silent.This was where Jonah and Michael were different.“Look, you still have so many things to do. By the time you remember me, we have already missed the best time. This time when you leave, did Michael go with you?” Jonah raised his eyes to meet Ivanka’s. He wanted to hear Ivanka’s answer from her mouth.Ivanka did not reply. But the look in her eyes already said it all.Her silence confirmed it all.Jonah felt that his heart grow incredibly heavy at the moment. He had a crazy thought: Was it true that if Michael died, Ivanka would be able to focus all her attention on him?However, he was an invalid and did not even have a chance to get close!“The way you treat Michael and the way you treat me has always been so different. I know. A
