The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 89: Ryan forcefully kisses Ivy
Despite Ivy's generous efforts, Ryan ignored everything and continued to do as he pleased."No one is foolish enough to abandon wealth and fame to pursue love," Ryan asserted loudly, as if his words were entirely accurate. "Not to mention love with someone..." He paused, observing her deeply furrowed brow, choosing his next words carefully, more gently. "someone who is not of the same social standing. Furthermore, the two of you look quite mismatched together."It was infuriating to hear, even though she already knew it. He could have said it outright; the truth often hurts, but Ivy was upset by his attitude, which was completely disdainful and contemptuous. He indeed wanted her to react strongly, but as mentioned earlier, she wasn't in the mood today. She wanted to end this peacefully, or at least amicably."You're not him," Ivy calmly retorted. "So don't draw any arbitrary conclusions. Don't you find it ridiculous? Speak only when you're certain; then your words will be persuasive."

In the restroom, Ivy kept splashing water on her face, muttering nonstop, "You’re crazy, Ivy. How could you let that happen so easily?" Staring at the mirror, she tried to steady her breathing. His kiss was wonderful, but… it didn’t stir anything inside her. Or maybe, before it could reach her heart, she had already pushed it away. What was I even expecting? Ivy wondered. In that brief moment, she had hoped her heart would race—at the very least, tremble a little—but no, it remained indifferent, cold. As for Ryan, he just stood there, unsure of what to do next. It was as if he realized Ivy had no interest or desire like he did—or maybe there was another reason. So, reluctantly, he let go of the kiss and made no move to chase after her. Maybe that kiss was just a fleeting moment? ... Ryan walked away, his mind filled with thoughts about Ivy. The kiss lingered in his head all afternoon, noticeably affecting his work performance. He had spent almost the entire rest of the day questi

That afternoon, as discussed over lunch, Luke was going to pick Ivy up and take her to meet his father. It was time to bring everything to an end so that neither of them would have to worry about any potential troubles. For both Luke and Ivy, this was a decision they wanted to make sooner rather than later to avoid any unnecessary complications. Time waited for no one, and the quicker they acted, the fewer obstacles they would face. They both knew that delaying things would only give others a chance to interfere with their plans. “I haven’t prepared anything at all. Showing up so suddenly—do you think that’s okay?” Sitting in the car, Ivy voiced her concern. “Should I put on some makeup, choose a more suitable outfit? I mean, something that looks decent?” “It’s best to just be yourself,” Luke advised. “Don’t worry too much about appearances. As long as you feel comfortable and satisfied with yourself, that’s what matters. I like you that way—unconcerned with outward looks or the opin

The grand, luxurious mansion unfolded before Ivy’s eyes, a breathtaking sight of unparalleled wealth and elegance. It was magnificent, exuding a level of opulence she had never seen before. For a few seconds, she stood there, momentarily lost in admiration. But that was all it was—admiration. There was no greed, no desire to possess it or to live here, and Luke could see that clearly. He liked that about her. He enjoyed watching the way she marveled at the mansion, her clear, untainted eyes reflecting nothing but pure appreciation. Her soft lips parted slightly in awe, making her look effortlessly alluring. A sudden urge surged within him—he wanted to press his lips against hers. It would no doubt feel incredible. Luke unconsciously licked his own dry lips. Damn it. It felt as if thousands of tiny ants were crawling all over his body, making his skin tingle with an unbearable itch. If this continued any longer, he feared he would lose control and do something reckless. He needed to s

“Ivy, you don’t have to agree if you don’t want to.” Luke’s voice was firm, resolute in opposing her decision. “It’s alright, Luke.” She turned to him, gently reassuring. “It’s just a conversation, don’t worry too much. I trust that your father doesn’t have any ill intentions. Don’t let minor matters upset you, and more importantly, don’t disrupt the family’s harmony.” Ivy’s words were reasonable and considerate, effectively diffusing the tension. Her logic was sound, making it easy for Luke to accept. To further persuade him, she added softly, “Don’t make me feel guilty, okay? Trust me, everything will be fine.” The certainty in her nod and the confidence in her smile completely disarmed Luke’s unease. Pushing aside his rising apprehension, he reminded himself to stay vigilant in case his family tried to make things difficult for her. “Alright then. If you’re sure about this, I’ll go along with it,” Luke conceded. Oh, what a rare sight this was—one that did not go unnoticed by th

Realizing that everyone was looking at him with a puzzled expression, Grant Evans stopped laughing and spoke up. “To be honest, your father and I were once close friends.” Ivy wasn’t surprised by this revelation. It wasn’t a big deal, nor did it hold any real significance for her. Whether it was true or just a made-up story, it wouldn’t affect her in the slightest. “Are you sure about this, Father? She could be lying about her identity. We shouldn’t be so quick to believe her and let ourselves be deceived,” Ether spoke up doubtfully. “The truth can always be verified,” Grant Evans replied calmly. “When it comes to family matters, only those within the family would know the details. It’s not something just anyone can make up. Besides, what would be the point of deception? Didn’t you notice that she initially tried to hide her identity? It was only when she was forced to defend her family’s honor that she reluctantly revealed the truth. If she were truly scheming, would she have han

“You must be joking, right?” Luke’s mother voiced her outrage at the absurdity of her husband’s decision. “There’s no way Luke can just walk his own path. I won’t accept this decision.” She declared loudly before turning away, making her anger clear. “That’s right, Father, please reconsider,” Tegan added fuel to the fire, further pressuring their father’s resolve. She seriously expressed her concerns, “We can’t make such a reckless decision and face severe consequences. We’ll become a laughingstock.” “I also oppose this decision.” Ether thought of how Masaki would feel upon hearing the news and immediately voiced his disapproval. Despite the growing opposition, Luke’s father remained unwavering, standing firm on his declaration. Under Grant Evans’ expectant gaze, Ivy tried to maintain her composure, gathering enough courage to ask, “Is this a condition in exchange for Luke’s freedom?” “That’s correct.” Grant Evans affirmed without hesitation, emphasizing the weight of the matter.

As always, Grant Evans paid no heed to the listeners' emotional reactions. He remained as composed as ever, his face like a mask concealing any trace of sentiment. No matter the circumstances, he faced everything with unshakable calm, never revealing the slightest hesitation. "From the very beginning, you were the one chosen to marry the Yagami family's daughter," Grant Evans suddenly revealed another secret. "But because I wanted to honor your mother’s wishes, I showed favoritism and let Luke take your place. I’m sorry, Ether." "Why did you do that?" Ether was stunned by the confession. He glared at his father, his voice demanding answers. "Why deceive everyone? If you were going to keep it a secret, why reveal it now? Is it because of Luke?" The resentment in his voice grew increasingly evident. Disappointment and anger burned in Ether’s gaze for all to see. Ivy, who had been nothing more than an outsider, suddenly felt out of place, like she had wandered into a situation wher

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.

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

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.

Under the fading twilight, the soft melody from Ivy and Luke’s wedding still echoed behind, mingling with the laughter of the guests. But Zoe had no intention of staying any longer. This event had not gone the way she had hoped. Ivy had truly become Luke’s, and Ryan could do nothing but stand there, silently witnessing it all.Clenching her lips tightly, Zoe left the banquet in silence.

If she was patient enough, she believed she could have Ryan.However, just as she stepped out of the wedding venue, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her path. Zoe frowned as she recognized Mason."Get out of my way," she snapped, trying to sidestep him, but Mason stood firm like an immovable stone, his sharp eyes locking onto hers."Zoe, stop t

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?
