The trouble Rosie had gotten into was that her fondness for Ivanka had turned into absolute hatred. This was good news to Mindy. That was why she did not care about it. Since Samuel and Rosie wanted her and Jay to go back and work together to get Ivanka back for Michael, this showed that Rosie had recovered and would treat Ivanka back like she used to. Mindy was a decisive woman. If things were meant to be, they would be. But if they were not, then they needed to draw a clear line. The mass media had frequently reported about Ivanka and Michael’s relationship which also included the period of time when they both disappeared. Since the duo were on good terms, why was there still a need to have the entire family working together to get her back for Michael? Mindy believed that was simply because Ivanka was playing hard to get. As such, Mindy refused to give in to Ivanka to stop her from being too proud. “Dad, I think Mom’s change of perception toward Ivanka will only bring us
Mindy repeated the gist of her conversation with Samuel to Jay. Jay shared the same thoughts as Samuel, so he persuaded Mindy, “We should go back home. If their plan works, Michael and Ivanka might really get back together.” Jay did not hate Ivanka. But he was not very fond of her either. It did not matter as long as it was Michael’s preference. Based on the situation, it seemed like Michael regretted his decision after their divorce and wanted to win back her heart again. Mindy was displeased. She sneered. “Getting back together, huh? They divorced not due to misunderstanding but because of Chiara. Aren’t you aware of this? “The main reason Ivanka refused to remarry is because she doesn’t want history to repeat itself. Since she refuses to get back together with him, their relationship will never work out no matter how much effort we put in. Dad and Mom are asking for trouble, let them be!” Mindy pursed her lips and looked solemn. She believed Rosie and Samuel would give
Since Ivanka had mentioned Margaret, Jonah truthfully told her about Margaret’s condition.After learning about Margaret’s brain hemorrhage, Ivanka comforted Jonah, “Don’t worry. We just need to remove the blood clogs from her brain. If the treatment causes her aphasia, I have a way to deal with it as well…”“Are you coming back now?”Jonah trusted Ivanka’s skill. So long as she was the one treating Margaret, he believed she could handle the issue effortlessly. Most importantly, she needed to deal with it as soon as she returned to the country. Ivanka pursed her lips and fell silent. It had not been easy for her to finally return to Mirvania from the Middle Eastern country. She was about to pick up things that had been delayed. But Margaret was in trouble at that moment. Rosie’s situation was almost as dire. Ivanka could not afford to turn a blind eye to them. Moreover, Jonah would misunderstand her if she rejected him. “Okay.” As such, she had to set aside her stuff.
Michael compared himself with Jonah. He and Ivanka were once husband and wife. They had been through many ups and downs. Besides, Rosie treated her so well. He had also pleaded for her forgiveness several times over. Although Jonah had saved Ivanka’s life before, Michael, too, had saved her before. But he wondered why there was still a difference between the way she treated Jonah and him. With that thought in his mind, Michael became depressed. He had not expected Rosie and Samuel to follow him all the way to Mirvania. After knowing that they were staying in the same hotel as him, Michael went to their room. Before opening the door, Samuel thought Michael was the hotel attendant. After he opened the door, he froze seeing Michael. Just when he was about to resolve some issue with Michael, Michael interrupted him. “Rosie is still very weak. You, too, are already old. Why are you still coming over?” Despite knowing their purpose for coming with him, Michael still could not h
It was clear that Michael was emotional when he delivered the message to her. Ivanka felt resigned. The reason she had decided to return to Bostone was because she wanted to treat Rosie and Margaret together. But it turned out that Michael, Rosie, and Samuel had come to Mirvania instead. She wondered if Rosie and Samuel had a few screws loose in their mind to travel such a long distance at this old age. Ivanka instantly called Michael. When he saw Ivanka’s phone number flashing on his screen, Michael was not happy. Instead, he felt sad and sorrowful. Nonetheless, he still answered her call. Then he heard Ivanka’s cold questioning tone from the other end of the line. “Michael, do you have a few screws loose in your mind?! You said Rosie’s health is very poor. Why are you still bringing her and Samuel along to Mirvania?! It’s such a distance. Aren’t you worried something might happen to them? “Besides, why are you sending that kind of message to me? I don’t care who the pat
After Michael explained himself to her, Ivanka understood everything. She had misunderstood him. She toned down her voice. “I’m not sure how much longer I need. It’s a mistake when you decide to come to Mirvania to look for me. Also, I do not particularly care about Jonah. I owed him a favor. With her mother in this condition, I can’t possibly ignore them. “I still care about Grandma,” said Ivanka calmly as she made herself clear. If she really did not care about Rosie, she would not have gone to Mirvania with Michael to attend the Ganoderma nebula auction. Without this, she would not have known Vincent. Likewise, she would not have known George and Alexander. Things that followed behind would not have happened as well. She hoped Michael would understand this. Michael pursed his lips. “I know you still care about her. But I was really angry the moment I found out you returned to Bostone for Jonah’s mother. But then I remembered what you’re doing is no different from what I’
Ivanka instantly fell silent. She understood what Vincent meant. He was talking about things that happened lately. She had agreed to help Florencia. Then she returned to Bostone from Mirvania. She even agreed to help Rosie. These people had helped her and treated her well. So of course she could not just stand by and do nothing. “Uncle, if these were your friends, and they are people who are important to you, I trust that you wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.” Just as if it was her, the first moment her uncle learned of her accident, he had immediately arranged for people to come to her rescue and came along personally.“Uncle, wait for me inside the hotel. I’ll have to go to the hospital first.” Jonah texted her and called her a few times. It was enough to show Jonah’s anxiety. Ivanka made her decision, and Vincent no longer stopped her. Soon, Ivanka arrived at the hospital. Jonah still needed a wheelchair to move around. When she saw how he went from being spirited
“What do you mean?”Jonah chided her.He almost uttered the words ‘Chiara Lane’.But Chiara was acting. Ivanka did not have any other plans yet. It was better for him to stay low at the moment. It was just that the sternness in those eyes did not allow Chiara to escape in the slightest.However, Chiara was confused. She did not understand. “Jonah, why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t mean anything.”“I know that Iv’s medical skills are very good. I want Iv to heal Mrs. Sadler sooner and then heal you afterward. Are you misunderstanding me in any way?”Chiara said tersely while looking all innocent.Jonah hated Chiara when she was acting innocent, like this. Her innocent act had caused Iv to be misunderstood by Michael so many times. At that moment, she was using someone else’s face and someone else’s identity, yet she was still so good at pretending!“What kind of misunderstanding could I have about you? I told you not to come, yet you still wanted to come over. Wh
In the face of Laura’s meltdown, Ivanka’s words seemed a bit smug.She was doing it on purpose.“You! Ivanka, how can you be so shameless as to say such things? Are you still a woman?” Laura’s hand, which was pointing at her angrily, trembled uncontrollably.Laura’s tears fell like a snapped pearl necklace. Ivanka laughed in a low voice. “Of course I am, otherwise how did I become the one Jonah wakes up to every day? Laura, since things have come to this, you’d better hurry home and stop embarrassing yourself here.”“What’s the point of chasing after someone who doesn’t like you like this?”She acknowledged Laura’s persistence toward Jonah. But insisting too much would turn into clinginess. Jonah’s dislike and disdain for Laura was clear. He never once gave Laura a chance. Even so, Laura refused to give up.Sometimes she did not think thoroughly before doing things. “Whether there’s a point to it is not for you to say!”Laura was still persistent.But the next second, Iva
It would not have been nice for Ivanka to be present during Jonah’s conversation with his mother. The Sadler family’s house was large. She went directly to the grass field outside.Margaret had a Golden Retriever. When Ivanka saw the maid bring it out to play, she immediately squatted in front of the Golden Retriever. The Golden Retriever was very gentle and did not bite. Margaret saw the Golden Retriever wagging its tail at Ivanka. The gesture was clearly a sign of fondness and affection for Ivanka.Even the dog liked Ivanka, and she still did not like her. Could she really be the problem?Margaret began to contemplate and reflect on herself. As she was trying to approach Ivanka, someone had already walked up to Ivanka first.This person was no other than Laura, who she had once hated.When Laura saw the cozy scene of a person and a dog. She instantly rushed to Ivanka. “Ivanka, you’re so despicable. You won’t even spare a dog. Are you planning to drug it too?!”Ivanka kept
However, Jonah seemed to have heard some hilarious joke. “Do you really mean well? Do you mean well by trampling on my feelings?“You said everything started because of Ivanka. Why don’t you say it all started because of you?”Jonah let out another rhetorical question.He was extremely emotional.Margaret could not bear to watch him like this. She roared, “Enough, don’t think that I’ll compromise and stop interfering with you guys if you are like this!”Jonah laughed slowly. “Then what you said before was nonsense. Since I can’t get what I want, what else is left if I cure these legs?“You really don’t get it. You think that I’m driving you to your grave when it’s the opposite. Then what kind of mother-son bond is there between us to speak of?”At the end of Jonah’s speech, the mockery at the corner of his was extraordinarily obvious. His eyes even seemed determined.Margaret sensed it.“Are you going to cut ties with me for Ivanka?” Margaret found it incredulous. When she ask
She said to Ivanka in dissatisfaction, “Ms. Ivanka, please go out. I have something to say to Jonah alone right now.”Ivanka did not respond. However, the way she moved out already said everything.Jonah did not make a statement but silently agreed.He also did not want Ivanka to be present to see his embarrassment.“You’re being an ingrate. You never raised me like that! Since you’ve already spoken such, why are you still holding it against Iv? Is being a divorcee her sin?” Jonah’s expression was as dark as the storm clouds. Those eyes were locked on his mother. He felt that Ivanka had been deeply wronged.However, Margaret replied blandly, “Have you seen anyone wealthy choosing to marry divorcees? Are there really no other women out there?”“You are a woman too.” Jonah frowned.However, Margaret brought up a very realistic question. “I am indeed a woman. But no parent in the world would ever settle for anything less than the best option.”Those words infuriated Jonah.“Mom,
At Margaret’s rebuke, Ivanka was annoyed. “If you say so.”Whatever Margaret wanted to think was her own business. She would not interfere.Margaret immediately choked out in response, “You!”“You don’t have to target me. You know very well that I won’t get together with your son. I’m only here to administer treatment for your son.”Ivanka gave Margaret a bland look. Even her tone was bland.Margaret burst out laughing coldly. “It’s what you should do!”“I didn’t say that I shouldn’t,” Ivanka shot back indifferently. She no longer bantered with Margaret. She kept looking at her cell phone.In Margaret’s eyes, Ivanka was playing with her cell phone, and was playing intently too!There was a parasol over her head as she was leaning on a rattan chair. Most importantly, there were also refreshments on the round table to Ivanka’s left.Sheesh!“Ivanka, are you here to treat Jonah’s leg, or are you here to enjoy yourself?” Margaret chided Ivanka in dissatisfaction.When someone di
Jonah was concerned about Ivanka. But before he could finish speaking, he automatically lowered his voice.He was not the same as before.Call for him. With his weak legs, what could he do for her?Ivanka heard his tone but did not expose or console him. She only followed suit and said, “Rest well. I know my place.”“Alright.”Jonah answered half-heartedly. Ivanka turned around and left her back to him.On the terrace, there was a parasol and a rattan chair.She had only laid down on top of the rattan chairs for a few minutes when she heard footsteps from behind her. As the footsteps drew closer step by step, she subconsciously turned around.She only saw the servant who had just helped her carry a tray of food and walked towards her slowly.“Ms. Ivanka, the young master asked me to prepare some refreshments for you.”Ivanka nodded wordlessly.She was here to treat Jonah’s legs, not to enjoy the sunshine and eat. She did not eat anything. Her gaze was on the phone screen.S
As he said that, Jonah turned his wheelchair and moved closer to Ivanka.The delight on his face was hard to hide. Margaret did not see it. She was still in the hospital. It would have been better if she did not see her, but Ivanka also understood very clearly what Margaret meant by this. If she really wanted to have a long-lasting relationship with Jonah, they would have become a couple already. Why wait until that moment? As long as she agreed, it was not impossible, and that was what Jonah thought: he thought she would say yes.Ivanka gently laughed and shook her head. “Jonah, why are you still lying to yourself and others?”Even she understood it, so how could Jonah not know about it?However, Jonah was not willing to dwell on the matter. In the next second, he changed the topic. “It’s better to go to my room. The second floor has plenty of fresh air.”Ivanka saw that he was not willing to talk about it, so she did not say anything more. She nodded. Then a servant came
“If it’s my fault, you can always vent out your anger on me.” Michael made himself clear. It was not his fault, so he refused to accept being treated unfairly. Ivanka sneered, “It seems like you’ve forgotten that you were the cause of everything. If not for the fact that you refused to give up on me, I wouldn’t have invited Jonah for a roleplay. I don’t want to get into the details with you.” In the face of Ivanka’s mockery, for a moment, Michael felt as if something had stuck in his throat, and he did not know what else to say. Ivanka was utterly furious. It was pointless to speak any further to her. But he refused to become a punching bag on Jonah’s behalf for free. “You need to calm down. No one can get in the way of your choices. But I’ll never give up,” said Michael in a low voice. “I see. Since you refuse to give up, are you planning to steal the bride at her wedding as well?” Ivanka raised one of eyebrows. She felt amused. Michael blurted out a single word with
“Michael, I just didn’t want to upset Grandma. If you want to keep her posted on our progress, you might as well find someone else and get married so that there’s no more possibility between us. She will also stop thinking about me and you.” Ivanka had blurted it out without hesitation. Her tone was serious. She really meant it. Michael did not expect Ivanka to say this to him. Rosie had told Michael that Ivanka agreed to let him be her bodyguard because of her. At that time, Michael was over the moon thinking that Rosie had caused another miracle. But based on the situation, it looked like Ivanka did not plan to take other people’s concerns into account anymore. Michael’s mood turned foul. He could not say anything about Ivanka’s decision. “Iv, I refuse to accept this.” After a moment of silence, Michael said that to Ivanka. At that moment, he looked serious. Even though Ivanka could not see his expression, she could imagine his demeanor through his tone. “I know y
