The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 29: Luke Puts Jewelry On Ivy
After a moment of shy glances, Ivy decided to break the previous silence. She wanted to steer the conversation in a different direction to alleviate the awkwardness.Ivy smiled brightly and gently asked, "What do you think of the dress? Do you think it suits me?""It looks great," Luke genuinely complimented. He quickly snapped out of his stillness as Ivy spoke up: "Indeed, the dress suits you.""Perhaps you're just saying that to please me. I'll have to verify for myself," Ivy declared, then promptly stepped outside, scanning around for a mirror. She wanted to see how she looked. It turns out there was no mirror; someone had forgotten to place one in the room. In fact, there was a mirror, but it had accidentally been broken earlier due to the hotel being too busy, and the staff hadn't had time to replace it."What are you looking for?" Luke asked curiously, noticing Ivy's anxious expression."There's no mirror here," Ivy remarked with a hint of disappointment."Perhaps the hotel over

"Thank you so much!" Ivy said shyly, then lowered her head to look down at her neckline. Ivy admired the delicate necklace, handcrafted with precision, when suddenly Luke spoke up."It's not over yet.""What else?" Ivy exclaimed in surprise, a hint of curiosity mixed with apprehension.Once again, Ivy was taken aback by Luke's actions as he reached out to touch her ear without permission, wanting to put on a pair of earrings for her. Because she had become accustomed to Luke's impulsive gestures, Ivy remained silent, allowing him to finish what he was doing. Besides, Ivy saw no reason to refuse the items Luke lent her. Everything was to enhance Ivy's beauty. Ivy being beautiful meant Luke would feel proud and pleased with Ivy in front of others.Perfect, that's what Luke realized as he admired his handiwork."Do I need to touch up my makeup?" She looked at him for his opinion as Luke had stepped back a few paces. He thought she looked beautiful enough already. However, when he saw he

"Got it! I'll do my best; I won't let you down." Ivy drew Luke's attention back with a confident statement. "I hope we'll have pleasant cooperation." "I'm really looking forward to collaborating with you. I'll also do my best to support you to the best of my abilities," said Luke sincerely."That's great to hear; thank you so much," Ivy exclaimed excitedly."To be honest, I'm not expecting your performance to be impressive or perfect," Luke interrupted his train of thought, deciding to clarify his desires to Ivy. "So, don't put pressure on yourself.""Okay," Ivy smiled, silently grateful for the client's easygoing nature."Is there anything else you'd like to say or anything you need me to clarify?" Luke gently inquired."Basically, I've grasped the key points of the issue," Ivy confidently stated. "I believe I'll handle this situation well.""Then I'm reassured," Luke smiled. "Let's quickly get back to the banquet." "You're right," Ivy agreed.After whispering to each other, they f

The deep sigh from Ivy caught Luke's attention. He immediately looked at her, concerned. "What's wrong?" Luke asked gently. "It's nothing," Ivy shook her head, dismissing it. "I'm just lost in thought; you don't need to worry about it." Knowing that Ivy didn't intend to share her thoughts and worries, Luke couldn't force her. So, he decided to pretend to trust what Ivy said, even though he felt deeply concerned for her. "Why don't we join in the fun with everyone?" Luke suddenly suggested, aiming to lift Ivy's spirits and help her blend into the atmosphere. He suspected that she might dislike such fancy parties that are difficult to approach like this one. "How about dancing? It can help clear your mind of all worries." She smiled brightly, timidly nodding her head and slipping her arm into Luke's waiting one, just as the band started playing the familiar party tunes.

"It was thought to be someone else; turns out it's Ryan Blake," a familiar guest greeted Ryan, taking the liberty to welcome him. "Please feel free to sit."No one at the table objected to Ryan's presence. The previously serene atmosphere was shattered, and everyone quickly reverted to an uneasy, anxious demeanor.With permission granted, Ryan casually pulled out a chair and sat down. He deliberately chose the empty seat to Ivy's right and took his time settling in. Mason swiftly took the seat right next to Ryan.Ah! This unforeseen situation is truly a nightmare!Ivy suddenly felt a knot in her stomach, discomfort creeping in as Ryan sat down. On the other hand, Ryan keenly noticed Ivy's tension and silently mocked her. Ivy's concern was justified; who would have expected to be caught here, especially by Ryan, someone who never missed a chance to corner her and undermine her?Th

Returning to the crux of the situation, no one seemed to care or show interest in the newcomer; all attention was focused on the main couple, Ivy and Luke.Under the pressure and urging of the crowd, both Ivy and Luke understood that remaining silent would only make things harder to control. As if in silent agreement, Ivy turned to offer him a sweet smile, and he nodded in agreement. Luke decided to let her answer, as it was the job of an acting and scriptwriting expert. Ivy exuded confidence in her expertise, so Luke chose to trust her."It was a fateful afternoon," Ivy began, her voice tinged with excitement, setting the stage for the story. "We first met at the Suna orphanage.""Suna?" Tegan exclaimed, a hint of surprise coloring her voice. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. How could there be such a coincidence? Suna was a forbidden name in the Evans family. No one was allowed to let outsiders know, and even family members were strictly forbidden to mention it.Suna bro

"I made a mistake; I was surprised to find out later, when I learned that he also visited the orphanage." The silence was broken as Ivy continued her story. "That's how we met. He looks fierce and hard to approach on the outside, but he's very kind and gentle." "The kid got stung by a bee on his hand; I just helped him out." Luke interjected, clarifying. Ivy turned to him with a smile. "Because at that time, he looked like a bully; he even threatened and scolded me." "That's because someone recklessly hit me without knowing the whole story." He argued. "And then I called others to come and catch me." "Don't hold grudges over past matters, little one." Luke poked her round cheek as she pouted, showing her annoyance. "Ouch, that hurts." Immediately Luke rubbed his hands on her chubby cheeks as she groaned. They're both grown-ups but acting like children, making the onlookers feel embarrassed for them. "Who was the one pursuing whom first?" The question was raised by Luke's old

Ryan acknowledged that Mason was likely speaking from a place of concern and wisdom, but due to his own pride and stubbornness, and most of all, his own uncertainty, Ryan wasn't entirely convinced. Therefore, he simply offered an answer that aligned with his current thoughts and feelings. "Of course, that's true. I'm not crazy enough to like Ivy. Who do you think I am? I have my own sense of aesthetics and high standards," he replied half-heartedly. Instead of getting defensive, he just brushed off the issue. He truly didn't understand himself. How do you explain it? It's hard to say. In short, there was a lot of turmoil within him at this moment. However, amid the chaos, anger was clearly evident. Ryan's conclusion that Ivy is despicable for dating Luke while still casually sleeping with him. He perceives Ivy's behavior as hypocritical and disrespectful, as she is seemingly leading a double life by engaging romantically with Luke while maintaining a physical relationship with many o

After several failed attempts, Luke still didn't give up and was determined to get back at Ivy. Knowing she often went to the storage room after school to collect teaching materials, he came up with a plan to lock her inside and teach her a lesson.One late afternoon, as the sunset painted the sky red, Luke quietly followed Ivy. When she entered the storage room, he quickly moved to shut the door behind her. However, before he could do so, a strong push from behind made him stumble and fall inside the room. The door slammed shut behind him, and the sound of the lock clicking shut echoed coldly.In the dim light, Luke heard footsteps fading away and a soft giggle. He realized that someone else, possibly someone with a grudge against him, had played a prank on him."Who's there?" Ivy's voice called from the corner of the room, wary."It's me, Luke," he replied, trying to stay calm."What are you doing here?" Ivy asked, moving closer."I... I came to check if you fell into my trap," Luke

The cafeteria of the juvenile detention center was always noisy and bustling at lunchtime, filled with those who didn’t care about the rules. In the middle of the crowd, Luke and his group were mocking a weak boy, knocking his food tray to the ground.“Pick it up, or do you want me to help you lick it clean?” One of the guys sneered.The sound of cruel laughter echoed as the poor boy bent down to pick up the crumbs, his hands trembling in fear. His eyes were red, but he bit his lip tightly, trying not to let the tears fall. The crowd around them stood by, some with their arms crossed indifferently, some laughing mockingly, but no one spoke up to help. A few others looked away, as if afraid that if they interfered, they would become the next target.Ivy had just entered, and the scene immediately caught her eye. A surge of anger rose in her chest, making her grip her food tray tightly. She hated this kind of bullying—hated the silence of those who only watched. With a deep breath, she

Ryan sat silently in the large armchair in the spacious living room, his eyes unconsciously drifting over the family portraits hanging on the walls. They captured the glorious moments of his lineage—lavish parties, strategic handshakes. But no matter how many times he looked, he couldn’t find himself in any of them.The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted his thoughts. His father, William, entered the room with his usual commanding presence. His face was stern, his sharp eyes fixed on Ryan. There was no need to guess—Ryan knew this conversation was inevitable."Ryan, you must understand that your marriage to Jena is not just a personal matter. It concerns the family's honor, the interests of the entire corporation," William’s deep voice carried weight with every word.Ryan lifted his head to meet his father’s gaze. There was no hesitation in his eyes, only a firm and unyielding determination. "I understand that very well. But I cannot marry someone I don’t love. I refuse to live a

Amidst the whispers, the stares, and the uproar of a hall shaken by shocking news—her world suddenly fell silent.There was only him.Only his gaze.Only his words, reaching the deepest part of her heart."I'm an imperfect woman," Ivy confessed bravely."I'm also a man with many flaws," Luke responded immediately."I'm older than you," Ivy continued."I like mature women.""I can't have children.""I don't care where the children come from, as long as you're their mother.""You’re hopelessly stupid.""I love you, Ivy. Even if the whole world turns its back on you, I will still stand by your side. So, please, don't doubt my love."Luke gently tightened his grip on her hand, his eyes unwavering as he continued to pour out his heart."Ivy, please give me a chance," he said, his voice rough with emotion.

Before leaving, she suddenly paused and turned back to glance at the table beside her—where Ryan still sat, the wine glass in his hand trembling slightly under the warm glow of the lights.She tilted her head slightly, a gentle smile gracing her lips, yet it carried an unmistakable hint of provocation."Oh, right, Ryan," she spoke slowly, her voice soft but laced with sharpness. "I’d like to invite you to my wedding tomorrow. After all, we used to know each other. It would feel incomplete without you there."Ryan tightened his grip on the glass, his knuckles turning white. His eyes darkened, as deep as an abyss, yet his face remained composed, forcing an air of indifference.Luke said nothing, merely pulling Ivy away with effortless ease.Zoe, sitting beside Ryan, sneered as she noticed his tense expression."What’s wrong? Didn’t you always claim you didn’t care about her anymore? Then why are you so mad? I’d bet Ivy did that just to get back at you.""Shut up."Ryan’s sudden outburst
