Chapter 33: Ryan Is Curious About Luke And Ivy's Love Story
"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?

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
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 36: Ryan Approaches Ivy When She Is Alone
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
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 37: Ryan Insults And Accuses Ivy
"It turns out the child in your belly belongs to him, huh? The father of the child has quite a reputation; you're indeed quite impressive, with a refined taste, and successfully flirt with a successful, high-value man." The words were heavy, with deep implications, and the attitude was deliberately offensive. It was clear that Ryan intended to provoke Ivy both emotionally and mentally, filling her with anger and frustration. Ivy's face darkened as he suddenly appeared behind her, making her choke on the sushi she had just swallowed. Not only did Ryan not care whether she was okay or choking, he didn't even bother to ask, just saying whatever came to mind. While Ivy was struggling to catch her breath and gulping down water to ease her choking, Ryan continued to babble on about things that were hard to hear. "So what kind of person are you exactly? Sneaking into bed with someone else while your boyfriend is away? Are you just thirsty for sex?" Ivy, still surprised by Ryan's sudden ap

Swallowing his rage, Ryan quickly deployed another tactic in hopes of regaining the upper hand and ultimately defeating Ivy. "Do you think I don't dare?" Instead of intimidating her, he dared to be bold, bolstering his bravery. "Let me tell you, Ryan here can say it can be done. Don't forget I warned you: I'll make you wish you were dead." Ivy laughed with a sense of exhilaration, goading him on. "I haven't forgotten; your words are etched deep in my memory. So go ahead, do as you please, and you'll get what you want. But let me remind you: If I'm hurt, you won't be unharmed either; I can assure you of that," Ivy added assertively, emphasizing the reciprocity of consequences. "Do you think I'm bluffing, just trying to scare you?" Ryan growled in warning. "And don't think you can do anything to me." "I don't underestimate you; I just think you lack wisdom," Ivy retorted, delivering a verbal blow that subtly implied his foolishness and uselessness. "You might not mind the notoriety

Luke's heart was now flooded with chaos, and his chest weighed heavily. He regretted involving Ivy in this mess a thousand times. Thinking of Ivy, Luke suddenly looked her way, finding her gaze fixed upon him. The agony etched deep within his eyes was starkly evident on his face. As a perceptive individual, Ivy easily discerned Luke's unstable emotions. Meanwhile, the girl standing beside Luke continued to enthusiastically greet the guests, her smile bright and cheerful, but it flickered out as she stopped beside Ivy, her gaze towards Ivy deep and inscrutable.Oh God, the very thing Luke feared had finally happened.Silence engulfed the banquet hall, no applause resounding too loud or too long, then the reaction of Luke, the male protagonist of the event.

"Luke, what on earth were you doing?" Tegan scolded loudly, but Luke seemed indifferent. Tegan hurriedly ran up to the stage to assist the girl. "Are you okay?" Tegan asked with concern, and the girl shook her head, her face filled with sadness. She never expected Luke to act like that, especially in front of so many people. Luke's older brother also berated him. "Do you realize how foolish you've been? Take a look at your behavior!" Luke remained indifferent, not bothering to argue, acknowledging that it was his fault, so he would remain silent and listen to the heavy words. It seemed like everyone's attention was focused on the stage, except for Ryan and Ivy. While Ivy was lost in her imaginary world, Ryan concentrated his attention. After exhausting all possible words to express Luke's stubbornness, the Evans siblings sighed helplessly. As a moment of quiet settled, Luke remembered something more important and looked down, deciding to approach Ivy again. "Luke," Mariko hurri

"I think we should go out there and help her," Mason suggested, unable to bear it any longer. But Ryan remained rooted in place. The lawyer bit his lip and turned away, resigned to his cowardice. Both Ryan and Mason knew the situation wasn't simple, which left them feeling helpless despite their desire to assist her. As for Ivy, she knew there wouldn't be any knight in shining armor coming to her rescue in her life. And she didn't even wish for it to happen. The handsome hero only exists in romance novels, and romance novels aren't real. Now Ivy felt true loneliness—a bit of hurt. But she wouldn't cry because these matters weren't worth shedding tears over. As for Luke, disregarding all obstacles, he chose to trust her. Firmly brushing off the hand of the girl beside him, Luke strode confidently towards Ivy, facing her and ignoring the perplexed glances around him. "Luke, what are you doing?"
