When alone in the room, Ryan dared to show concern over the news that Ivy might be pregnant.He was sure that it wasn't his child but someone else's. Ryan was certain of this because he had been using contraception before meeting Ivy and up until now. Therefore, the likelihood of Ryan impregnating someone was very low.So, what was Ivy's purpose in revealing her pregnancy? Was she planning to toy with Ryan to frighten him? Or Ivy would carry out the plan just as Ryan had anticipated, and he only needed to close his eyes to envision every detail clearly.If that were the case, how should Ryan deal with it? Still unsure of what to decide, he first had to find out the truth and determine Ivy's intentions.After much thought, Ryan finally took action. He immediately called Ivy into the room to talk. As usual, Ivy didn't bother knocking. Without announcing anything, she just calmly rushed into the room."What do you want to say?" Upon entering, Ivy immediately spoke up, refusing to allow h

At 10:30 at the Aberdeen Technology, Construction, and Real Estate Group, Luke Evans, the interim CEO of the conglomerate, is grappling with a looming issue. The company is gearing up for a very special event, commemorating its 38th anniversary. What's noteworthy here is not that he's obliged to attend the event, but rather the arranged marriage orchestrated by both families, to be officially announced during the ceremony. A marriage of convenience, like buying and selling. Even though the families have a longstanding relationship, Luke himself is acquainted with the chosen girl, his future wife. However, Luke harbors no romantic feelings towards her whatsoever; their relationship is purely social, lacking any depth. Yet she has feelings for him, complicating matters for Luke. Nevertheless, Luke is fully aware of the situation and absolutely detests this arrangement. Therefore, he is struggling to find a way to break free from the suffocating cage that he's about to be locked into.Lu

In the face of Ivy's indifferent attitude, Ryan didn't react much upon hearing the news. He simply pretended to ignore her, swiftly heading straight to his room, leaving Mason standing there with Ivy. Upon seeing Ryan leave, Mason exchanged a few words with Ivy before he followed Ryan.Mason spoke up after carefully closing the door to the room."So Ivy is about to leave here soon." Mason was probing Ryan's attitude and thoughts regarding Ivy's departure. "It's indeed quite a surprising piece of news. I didn't expect this to happen so quickly. I've only known Ivy for a short time. I haven't even had the chance to woo her yet," Mason sighed, feigning disappointment."So what?" As predicted by Mason, Ryan responded with annoyance. "That's normal; there's no need to overreact like that. Take a look at yourself. You look disgusting." "I look that bad." "Yeah," Ryan confirmed."What about you then?" Mason asked straightforwardly. "How do you feel about Ivy leaving?""I'm fine," Ryan repl

Everyone was surprised, mixed with confusion and curiosity, especially Ryan. Inadvertently, Ryan and Mason exchanged glances, conveying their mutual bewilderment to each other. No one could have guessed that Ivy knew Luke, the youngest son of the Evans family.As for Ivy, she followed the reaction and turned her gaze towards the person who called her name. A moment of silence ensued as Ivy's eyes met Luke's, and it seemed like the whole world stopped spinning at that moment.Wow! Ivy silently praised and admired. Luke's handsome appearance truly captured everyone's attention, not just Ivy's. After a moment of stillness, Ivy realized that he was her client; they had exchanged photos to recognize each other. With Luke's sudden appearance and intervention, Ivy momentarily forgot about her awkward situation and hastily lifted her slightly damp posterior off the floor."Luke!" she exclaimed, sheepishly smiling. She appeared embarrassed by her own clumsiness, not due to any lack of professi

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
