Ivanka’s gaze moved but she still nodded. Whereas Jonah smiled and said, “I can help you contact this person. He might be eccentric, but he is still loyal. We are friends but I can only introduce you to him. I may not be able to make him do anything else.” Ivanka immediately shook her head. “No, I’ll just go find him myself, I’ve met him before.” Jonah raised an eyebrow but did not stop her. “Just remember, he’s nothing like what that rumor claims” He was implying that he was not gay. Elio was the one who helped Naila solve the problem back when Ivanka went to talk to Naila about a collaboration. Because Elio has targeted Naila’s son, people have been saying that Elio was gay and even a pedophile. Naila had been worried at the time, but it turned out that Elio was simply not easy to deal with. She tried to communicate several times to no avail. In the end, it was Ivanka who helped her with this matter. Naila was especially grateful at that time. Ivanka slowly looked up
It was fine if he did not mention his mother. After he did, Sandy was fear-struck from the memory; the hairs on her body stood up. She looked at the man coldly and her eyes were full of caution. “You’re toxic! I don’t need you to care. Hurry up and leave!” She even put her hands behind her back as she said this. Her house had fingerprint locks. She was afraid that Ivan would grab her hand to unlock the door and take what her mother had left behind! “Don’t be like that. If I don’t care for you, who else will? Won’t you open the door and let me in?” The last freaking thing she wanted was for Ivan to enter her home! He was toxic! Without thinking, Sandy turned around and pressed the elevator door. When it opened, she immediately stepped in. Ivan was silent. Seeing that he did not move and even remained standing at the doorway, Sandy was again worried that he might get a locksmith. So, she immediately dragged him into the elevator. “Oh gosh. Why are you so rough, woman?
“Ah! You dog! Put me down!”Ivan gritted his teeth. “You don’t know what’s good for you! At first, I took pity on you and wanted to bring you to eat. But then you said I’m sick in the head? Alright then, let’s catch diseases together!”After saying that, he walked faster. Sandy struggled to break free and was still constantly worried that she would accidentally fall. Ivan reached the door of the car. He opened the door of the backseat, and threw her in directly!Curious onlookers had followed them from a distance. They stopped at an angle where they could see from afar to see if the two of them would actually rock things up in the car.When Sandy saw the malicious expression on him, she was so scared that her body trembled fiercely. “You… What are you doing? You’re crazy, Ivan!!!”Ivan gritted his teeth. “Yes, I’m crazy! So much that I let a woman scold me to this extent!”Sandy’s eyes widened. When she saw that he was not going to do anything rash, she carefully sat up and leane
“Ivan, you’re sick in the head!”“I’m fine with knowing you have the medication.” Ivan was also angry but did not want to argue with this woman in the middle of the street. Then he directly dragged her into the restaurant.Sandy was too embarrassed to yell with so many people here. It would be in poor taste.She could not struggle away again. In the end, she could only be dragged back by this dog.She gritted her teeth and sat back in her chair looking angrily at Ivan.Sandy did not say a single word. She felt like she could not keep the anger from bubbling out.The waiter who stood by the side felt that their atmosphere was not right. Ivan directly ordered the meal. The waiter quickly walked away in relief.Inside the box, only the two of them remained.Sandy was angry. She did not want to say a single word to this man.Ivan’s expression was extraordinarily cold. He wanted to just stew this woman right now.The atmosphere’s silence was deafening. After a moment’s reprieve,
Sandy sucked in a breath. Then she turned away from him. “I won’t give it to you. Not even if I die. If I die, I’ll take this with me. I’ll be cremated with it. I’ll take it with me to my mom. Just give up on it. It’s because you guys didn’t believe in her at first. You forcefully swept her out of the door. Don’t blame her for being cold towards you guys. Her coldness is an accumulation of all the disappointment you guys have brought to her. How many days and nights have I seen her crying in silence? But what about you guys?” As she said this, Sandy could not help but sneer. Her eyes were thick with mockery. Something crashed suddenly. It was extremely ear-shattering and scared Sandy.She gritted her teeth. “Forget it. Let’s not see each other again, let alone eat together. I don’t think I have much of an appetite, and neither do you, right?”Even though she was hungry and her stomach hurt a little, she could not stay and eat with this dog of a man. She was afraid she would die
“I’ve seen them.” “I can’t believe you’re so quiet. Come on out. Go ask him what’s going on and cheer me up.” Xander was a bit speechless. He finally said, “I’m coming over now.” … It did not take long for the few to get together. Michael was still the same as before. He did not talk much when he arrived.Ivan was always a loudmouth, but he did not seem particularly playful either. If it were in the past, he probably would not have been able to control himself to get to the bottom of things. He would be out to grill something out of Michael. Obviously, Michael and Xander both noticed that something was wrong. The men’s gazes met for a moment. Xander looked at Ivan, “What’s wrong with you today?” Ivan composed himself and shrugged. “What could possibly be wrong with me?” Michael looked at Ivan. “You called me today and said you were in a bad mood?” His voice was calm, but Michael was someone who cared about his brother. Xander blurted out. “What could possibly get
“Yes?” Xander smiled meaningfully. Ivan looked like he was about to blow up. “Of course! I even paid when I left. It was to make her feel touched!” Micheal looked faintly at Ivan blandly. . It was like he already knew what was going on. However as usual, if he could not realize it himself there was no use in him pointing it out. Xander instead looked at Michael. “Michael, what do you think?” “If he doesn’t realize it himself, what’s the use of others seeing through it?” His expression was indifferent. It was like he did not want to mention these things. Ivan suddenly laughed from exasperation. “I don’t realize it myself, but you can? Do you have any idea what kind of situation you are in with Ivanka?”Michael frowned. He instantly thought of what happened on Twitter today. The anger he had just suppressed suddenly rose again. The other two noticed something was wrong, and Ivan suddenly felt happy. “Look, you can’t even control yourself. Why the hell are you lecturing me? I
Xander smiled. Since he did not believe it, there was no need to give him further advice.Michael frowned. Xander’s words stabbed him in the heart like a knife. He could not help but keep thinking about it.“Think about it. Think about Evan. You’re just like how he used to be.”He could see it. Evan’s feelings for Sandy were gradually changing. It was evident in every sarcastic remark he made about her.What about himself?Did he feel something for Ivanka…?As this thought crossed his mind, Michael’s expression turned cold. Thinking of the trending topic on Twitter, he sneered. How could he possibly fall for that woman who fooled around with men?Both Jonah and Hanson danced at the palm of her hand.He would never fall for her for the rest of his life....After Ivanka and Jonah finished dinner, she went back home. Although she wanted to go see Elio right away, she still needed to inform him in advance. She also needed to verify some things from the past. She was afraid that
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
