Rosie cocked an eyebrow in curiosity. “That makes sense. But it’s just too outlandish…”Grandma believed in the existence of God. That was why Ivanka dared use this method to deceive her. If anyone else had heard it, they would think that she was saying something irresponsible. “Grandma, the world is big and filled with amazing things. You have to believe Pastor Paul!” “Pastor Paul is indeed a great pastor. Let’s go and meet him tomorrow and see if he’s free.”Ivanka smiled and nodded. “So… Grandma, today’s your birthday, and Michael is still waiting for you outside. Don’t you want to see through your party to the end? There are many guests outside, too.”She felt more relaxed now. She was overjoyed because her plan had succeeded. “It worked! Grandma is letting go of her burden soon.” She thought. “Okay, let’s go.” Now, Rosie’s mood had clearly improved. She instantly felt like seeing her grandson. With that, Ivanka supported Rosie as they went out together. The guests
Rosie was touched. “Honey…”She thought Samuel had forgotten how they felt toward each other in the past. Samuel sighed. “Come. Give my cake a taste and let me know if it still tastes the same.”Ivanka smiled as she watched Samuel hold Rosie’s hand as they walked to the table.She looked around and noticed Catherine had stayed. Now, she no longer looked as prideful as before. She then shifted her gaze to Sandy. She was enjoying the drinks and food with her friends. Everyone was enjoying the party. However, Michael suddenly looked at Ivanka. “Come with me.”He headed out right after he said this. Ivanka frowned. Although she was reluctant, she knew she had to follow him to talk to him about what happened earlier to prevent Rosie from finding out what she did.Some people who saw that the divorced couple went out together again became suspicious. Michael did not turn to see whether Ivanka came, because he heard her coming after him. He only stopped and turned to look a
She continued to struggle as she spoke, but there was a huge gap in their strength. Ivanka was furious. “Let go of me!”Michael’s expression turned extremely dour. Every word from Ivanka was filled with great scorn that stabbed his heart!“Ivanka Lane! I know the kind of schemes you’re cooking! I’m giving you a chance. We can be remarried, but after that, don’t you ever play tricks and get close to Jonah Sadler again!”Ivanka was baffled and slightly stunned. She stared at the man in bewilderment, but he instantly frowned. So, was she trying to attract his attention? Did her expression imply that she never expected him to give in so quickly?Michael suddenly felt extremely irritated.Just then, Ivanka raised her leg abruptly and stepped on his foot without mercy!She was wearing stiletto heels, and she even used all her strength. Michael grunted and immediately stepped back. Ivanka’s hesitation instantly disappeared, and she took the opportunity to swiftly get out of his gra
After Ivan was finally done laughing, he said, “You have no idea what I just saw!”Xander raised his eyebrows without a word. He was clearly waiting for Ivan to speak.Ivan moved close to Xander and whispered, “I saw a pit on the surface of Michael’s shoe, which means someone stepped on it! Besides, there’s a scratch mark. I can tell that it was a very strong step! Michael’s expression was extremely dark, so he must have been humiliated!”Surprise flashed in Xander’s eyes. Ivanka was probably Michael’s soft spot.She was his downfall, and she was also the one who had angered him.Ivan was extremely amused. “It’s my first time seeing him look like that. But when I went out, I didn’t see that woman.”That woman naturally referred to Ivanka.Xander looked up and saw Michael walking in.He was alone, and Ivanka had yet to return.After Michael sat down, Ivanka still did not show up. He instantly frowned. What was she playing at again?Rosie had finished half of her plate, and she
Right now, she was supporting herself on a tree with one hand and raising her bare foot in the air.She was trying to figure out how to walk back.Michael saw this when he retraced his steps. When he saw her conflicted and troubled expression, surprise filled his gaze.During their three-year marriage, all he had ever seen was gentleness and decency. One could also describe her as virtuous and tender. She really used to be a typical good wife.He never saw such an emotion on her face. It was like a combination of a sneer, sarcasm, contempt, and struggle.At this time, Ivanka seemed very animated.When Ivanka sensed someone staring at her from the side, she subconsciously looked up with anticipation. She just needed to ask them to call Sandy.However, she did not expect to see Michael. On top of that, he was looking at her like he was staring at a clown.Her face instantly soured.When it rained, it poured. Why did she always have to encounter this demon?Michael was amused by
When Michael noticed that Ivanka was still trying to resist, he yelled angrily, “Grandma told me that if I didn’t bring you back, she wouldn’t celebrate her birthday. So, be good, Ivanka Lane!”Ivanka immediately quietened down.She knew that her grandmother intended to match them together, so it was not surprising for her grandmother to say something like that.Besides, how could Michael possibly lie? If their grandmother never forced him, would he lower his status and look for her?While she remained silent, Michael suddenly carried her.Ivanka never made a sound when she nearly fell earlier, but she could not help but scream at this moment.“Michael Barkworth!”She subconsciously held the man’s neck, but she instantly let go of him in a panic. “You… Put me down, now. You just need to help support me.”“Do you think I want to carry you?” Michael’s eyes were full of impatience.Although he said that, he still held the woman in his arms tightly. She would not fall even if she
Mindy was shocked, and she could no longer keep up the pretense!Jay looked over, and his eyes were filled with delight.Meanwhile, Samuel’s expression switched between conflicted and unhappy.As everyone stared, Michael carried Ivanka to her seat before he put her down.Unexpectedly, he felt a sense of loss when he stood back up.Ivanka could not bear to face anyone at this moment. Her face turned completely red, and she lowered her head. Along the way, people had cast questioning gazes at Michael and her. She felt really ashamed and infuriated!Michael looked down and glanced at her. Faint satisfaction flashed in his eyes, which was rare.Then, he went back to his seat and sat down after he gave Harvey some instructions.Mindy appeared a little displeased. “Ms. Lane, can’t you even walk now?”Ivanka’s expression changed slightly, and she pursed her lips without answering. However, Jay gave Mindy a cold glance. “Can’t you see that Ivanka’s heel is broken?” Rosie did not not
Ivanka’s hand froze as she took the shoe box. Michael naturally looked in her direction as well, and he looked even gloomier than he did earlier.Rosie quickly said, “Silly girl, hurry up and change your shoes! Otherwise, how are you going to walk? Michael, carry Ivanka to the resting lounge so that she can change her shoes.”Michael did not respond.As he sat still, Ivanka hurriedly said, “No need. I’ll get my friends to take me there.”While she spoke, she waved at Sandy.Sandy was looking in her direction, so she quickly patted Anna when she saw the signal. The two of them got up and walked over.Ivanka finally sighed in relief.Michael took his fork and kept quiet.Rosie instantly felt disappointed as she glanced at Michael. Since things had come to this, it would be inappropriate for her to say anything else.After Sandy and Anna helped Ivanka up, they slowly walked toward the resting lounge. The moment they entered the lounge, Sandy could not hold back anymore. She was
