Chapter 351: Chapter 350
“I’m not looking because I’m focused on my career right now. But why aren’t you looking? I wasn’t even in the country for the past few years, Grace, you’ve been here all along. And with the status the boss gave you, surely you must have had suitors?”
Noah pressed aggressively.
Grace was exasperated, “These past few years I’ve been like an ox that works all year round without rest. Where would I find the ti to date? You had it easy abroad, but I was a workhorse here!”
“Then you should take it up with the boss. Why did he give you so much work? At your age, you ought to find soone, Gracie.”
Noah grinned as he started pushing for marriage.
Grace looked at Ivy with a hint of resentnt and said sadly, “Boss, you’re not going to say anything about how she’s treating ? Does it not bother you at all to hear under attack?”
Ivy was suddenly called out inexplicably.
She was utterly speechless.
“The battle and argunts between you two, don’t drag into it. I’ve always encouraged dating. As soon as you find soone, there’ll be soone else to take over the work, don’t worry.”
Ivy’s light-hearted comnt successfully shut the two of them up.
Ivy continued, “Grace, you’ve been aggressively expanding the market for Eve’s projects. Two years ago, I told you not to hurry in widening the market. You could think about your own personal life. It’s not my fault you didn’t look!”
“And you, Noah, if I rember, I even asked you last year if you’d like to co back to develop your career here, and you turned down. I can find our chat records if you want. You said you wanted to stay abroad a bit longer, fearing that as soon as you returned, you’d be pushed into marriage. Rember?”
Both Grace and Noah’s faces showed a hint of embarrassnt.
Noah snorted, “Ivy, how can you have such a good mory, recalling everything so vividly? Now I’m back to help you, because didn’t you return a few years ago yet? I needed to support you!”
“Yeah, Ivy, you hadn’t returned before, and the business in the country had to be up to . I didn’t want you to work so hard abroad.”
The two of them, sly as ever, took the opportunity to explain themselves.
Ivy scoffed, “No need, you guys don’t have to anymore. Now that we’re all back in the country, and I’m also about to get back in the ga myself. So, go find your partners or get married, otherwise I’ll end up burdened with this bla again!”
“Hey! Ivy, that’s enough. What ti is it now? Can you check, should we set off to head back?”
Noah checked the ti and began to urge.
Ivy glanced over, “In a bit. I need to go ho first, see the old man before he returns to Seaton. Leon isn’t leaving this ti. I’ll drive later, and I don’t need you chirping by my side.”
Noah wore a hurt expression, “Do you really dislike this much, Ivy? My chirping is for your sake, to make sure you stay focused while driving.”
“No need, thank you. I hope you can sleep in your seat, or should I get you a sleeping pill?”
Ivy’s words successfully left Noah speechless.
Noah stood up imdiately, “I knew you didn’t welco . Forget it, I’ll leave, stop being a bother in front of you, I’ll head ho myself.”
“Alright, then you head ho yourself. I’ll drive later.”
After saying that, Ivy also got up and headed out, “Grace, I’ll leave it to you for now. I’ll find you once I get the designs done.”
Grace watched Noah getting the short end of the stick and stifled a laugh, “Sure, you go ahead, leave the rest to , don’t worry.”
“No, Ivy, you really let walk away just like that, didn’t even try to stop ? Where’s your conscience!”
Noah cursed as he followed behind.
Grace laughed and scolded, “Noah, don’t provoke her. She’s got nowhere to vent her fire right now, don’t let it all be directed at you later.”
“Mind your own business. Just take good care of things at Riverland!”
Noah cursed back as he quickly trotted to catch up with Ivy.
Wiles Family.
Ivy sat in the living room, looking at Jonah Wiles, who appeared sorrowful.
She spoke helplessly, “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll bring them back next ti. I know you want to see them, but aren’t you in a rush because of your illness this ti…”
“That’s no excuse, Ivy. If you really cared, you would have brought the kids for to see. Knowing that seeing the kids makes happier, yet you don’t bring them, I suspect you’re doing it intentionally!”
Jonah Wiles continued to act stubborn.
Gale received a pleading glance from Ivy and coughed as he spoke, “Dad, Ivy is about to leave, can we not talk about this now? Next ti she can bring them back, isn’t that okay?”
“You insolent boy, you still have the nerve to talk to . If you were more capable, wouldn’t I have grandchildren now instead of looking longingly at the Blake family’s kids?”
As soon as Jonah spoke, Ivy frowned imdiately and refuted, “Old man, you can’t say that. The kids are mine, they’re ours in the Wiles family, nothing to do with the Blake family, I’ve never admitted that!”
“Yes, yes, dad was loose with his words, I deserve a slap, I’m sorry, sweetie.”
Jonah said that and lightly patted his own mouth, then glared angrily at Gale, “Please make proud, hurry up and get married, or at least start dating soone for to see!”
Ivy seed to have thought of sothing, “Bro, I could introduce you to a girl, also from Riverland, soone you know. She hasn’t dated all these years either, just like you, a singleton at heart.”
Gale imdiately frowned and refused, “No way, what kind of friends would you have in Riverland after so many years? It’s not Grace or Noah, is it? No way!”
Jonah got excited, “Who is it, Ivy? Tell Dad, what your brother says doesn’t count. In this house, besides you, it’s what Dad says that counts. Who is it?”
Seeing Jonah’s excitent, Ivy slowly revealed the na “Charlotte Yeaton.”
“Great, great, the Yeaton family’s daughter, she’s alright!”
Jonah looked excited as he spoke.
Ivy echoed, “Right, just the other day I even had a al with Charlotte. You can ask Mr. Yeaton about the rest, how about it?”
“Perfect, you’re truly Daddy’s good daughter. I love your approach to things. I’ll go ask now.”
Jonah said as he stood up to make a phone call.
Gale had no ti to stop him and heard Ivy say lightly, “Brother, you’d better not stop Dad, or you won’t be able to handle the consequences.”
“Ivy, why are you so malicious? What did I do wrong to make you set up like this?”
Ivy completely ignored Gale’s lant.
“Brother, this is all for your good. The hopes of the Wiles family hang on you. Would you let dad, at his age, still worry about your marriage?”
The words left Gale speechless.
Gale asked, “Would Charlotte even be willing? She doesn’t seem like the dating type.”
Seeing this, Ivy raised an eyebrow and smiled.
