Ivy Miller had just settled in to sleep when the doorbell rang. The aunt went to open the door and was surprised to see Henry Sullivan had returned again. She exclaid, "Commander, why have you co back again?"
Henry Sullivan smiled at the aunt, "Auntie, after six in the evening these days, you can go ho to rest. I’ll arrange a car to take you back."
The aunt was montarily stunned before she softly asked, "Commander, are you planning to make up with Ivy?"
Henry Sullivan pressed his lips together, and the aunt gave him a thumbs-up, "It’s great that you’re thinking this way. Ivy has already gone to bed, so I’ll head back now. You two should take so ti to reconnect."
"Let’s leave it for tonight; it’s too late."
"No worries, it’s not yet ten o’clock; the bus to my place is still running," the aunt said as she turned and left with her bag.
In the room, Ivy Miller could only hear Henry Sullivan’s voice outside. Initially, she was puzzled about why he had returned, but then there was silence outside.
A few minutes passed before Henry Sullivan ca in, removed his coat, and hung it on the rack, "Still not asleep?"
Ivy Miller frowned, sat up, and looked at him, "Why have you co back again?"
"This is my ho, my wife and children are here. If not here, where else would I go?"
As he spoke, he turned and went into the bathroom. Ivy Miller got out of bed and, standing at the door, pushed it open forcefully, "Henry Sullivan, what do you an?"
"I don’t an anything. Coming back to sleep with my wife, what more could it an?"
Henry Sullivan smiled indulgently at her, "I’m going to take a shower now. Do you want to join , or wait outside for a while?"
"Do you have to act like this? If you keep on this way, I’m moving out."
"Fine, no matter where you move, I’m going with you. Just consider ... a part of your luggage."
Ivy Miller looked at the man in front of her, bewildered. What was he playing at now, and why was she feeling so tangled?
Seeing she had no intention of leaving, Henry Sullivan directly took off his clothes, prompting Ivy Miller to quickly shut the door and leave.
Watching her hasty departure, Henry Sullivan couldn’t help but smile wryly, recalling the ti she visited him in the army.
At that ti, their relationship wasn’t as close; she often irritated him by wearing short skirts and dancing in the camp... Thinking back, it seed like a lifeti ago.
After leaving the bathroom, Ivy Miller’s face was flushed red. This obnoxious man, had he gone mad?
Why did he suddenly seem so changed? It didn’t feel like him anymore.
Ivy Miller pouted and crossed her arms; Henry Sullivan was not one to act shalessly.
What was going on here?
When Henry Sullivan finished showering and ca out, Ivy Miller was wearing her nightgown, standing at the washroom door.
He feigned a startled jump, "What are you doing standing here, guarding the door?"
"No, you’re the doorman. What exactly are you trying to do?
Haven’t I made myself clear?
You’ve made the first move, even brought in backup, so why are you still doing this?"
"What have I done?"
Ivy Miller scoffed, "Don’t you know yourself?"
Henry Sullivan stepped forward and pulled her tightly into his arms, "I know, but right now, I just want to do this."
Ivy Miller attempted to push him away, but Henry Sullivan held her tight.
She stomped on his foot, but Henry Sullivan didn’t budge; even biting him elicited no response.
In the end, Ivy Miller’s heart softened, and she relented first.
"No matter what you do to tornt today, I won’t leave.
Ivy, I’ve made up my mind, I’m going to stand by you to the end."
With her lips bitten, Ivy Miller could only let him hold her, "Why do you have to treat like this?"
"I can only treat you this way; I don’t want to lose the family I’ve worked so hard for because of so old history.
Ivy, I know you have many doubts, and you’re afraid.
You’re scared I’ll leave you for Isla, but I swear to you, I won’t do that."
"Isla Linton also swore she wouldn’t ruin your family.
But if she truly wouldn’t harm our family, why did she show up?
The world is so big; if she wanted to hide, there are plenty of ways, aren’t there?"
"I don’t want to talk about Isla right now. To , she won’t affect our feelings.
Ivy, I’ve returned from the base and changed for you.
You should know, I can’t lose you and the kids now.
You both are my everything.
I don’t understand what you’re afraid of.
No matter what, I’m wholeheartedly devoted to you now; I care about you. Can’t you see that?"
