Chapter 1060
The man didn’t answer her, just intermittently tapping on the steering wheel as if he were pondering sothing or struggling with an issue!
The atmosphere in the car slowly descended, until Ivy Aretha felt her nerves stretch so tight she thought her blood vessels might burst at any mont, the man still hadn’t spoken. Out of necessity, Ivy took a deep breath and spoke again.
“That thing about Rio today, it was my…” She hadn’t managed to finish saying the words “drag you into it” when the man coldly cut her off.
“Whose child is it?”
Huh?
Sothing about the conversation felt off!
Ivy’s train of thought didn’t imdiately catch up; it took her a mont to realize he was asking about Phoebe, and then she honestly replied, “Wilson Murray!”
She had initially thought to ntion that he was in Africa, but rembering that this man already knew the day before, she simply stated the na.
“How did you et him?”
No sooner had he asked this than Rio Gordon sighed heavily and said, “Never mind, I won’t ask anymore. Now, I’ll take you ho!”
Knowing or not knowing, it was all in the past now; things that had passed couldn’t be changed. If they could be changed, back then he wouldn’t have been able to push her away so rcilessly!
“Oh!”
The two of them didn’t speak a word the entire trip. He was silent, and Ivy Aretha simply kept her mouth shut without a peep.
As soon as the car reached the Leon family’s courtyard, Ivy Aretha jumped out and ran into the house as if escaping. She ran straight from the front gate to the hall, then took a mont to catch her breath and pat her chest. Reflecting on the scene she had just experienced, Ivy felt it was surreal. She slapped her head with her hands to fully wake herself up.
Rio Gordon had actually spoken in such a way to save her face?
The Rio Gordon she had forgotten wasn’t like this at all. If it had been the old her, seeing the trouble she stirred up, she surely would’ve run away instantly. She wouldn’t have done such a thing, especially in affairs involving n and won. Ivy found it utterly astonishing!
She felt like she had won the jackpot in life!
After the tension passed, recalling the mory brought a long-lost sweetness. It was like back in the days when she used to chase after him constantly, even his annoyance with her felt like happiness.
“Senna, why did you co back so early? How did the blind date go?”
Seeing her daughter leaving the house with hardly any makeup, Mrs. Leon frowned deeply, “Senna, you don’t an to tell
that you went to the blind date like this, without dressing up at all, do you?”
It was the sa pale yellow dress again. To Mrs. Leon, it was headache-inducing; couldn’t she understand that dressing for a blind date isn’t the sa as what she wears every day?
Didn’t she have any sense of preparing herself?
“Mom, isn’t that what you always said? To be honest? From a young age, you taught
to show my most genuine self to others, right?”
“So putting on a little makeup makes you disingenuous? Even those who have plastic surgery don’t claim to be false!”
This child is truly hopeless, thought Mrs. Leon. “How did the blind date go? Did he show any interest in you?”
“Mom, we’re not suitable for each other, that guy’s nothing but a sanctimonious hypocrite. Please don’t arrange any more blind dates for !”
After saying that, Senna Leon walked past her mother and headed upstairs, while Mrs. Leon’s urgent voice inquired after her from behind.
“Senna, tell , what’s wrong with him?”
Before her daughter could respond, Mrs. Leon muttered to herself, “He seems like a good person to , with looks, family background, and education—all good qualities. How did he beco a sanctimonious hypocrite in your eyes? Could it be that Senna is ill? How could she not fancy such a decent man?”
“Because she has taken a fancy to a man who is even better!”
The deep, resonant voice, filled with a man’s unique magnetism, rang out just as Senna Leon had stepped to the middle of the stairs. She froze in place, blood flow halting as the voice continued, “Mrs. Leon, hello. This is Rio Gordon. I apologize for the intrusion, please forgive !”
“No need for apologies! Young Master Gordon gracing us with his presence is sothing I couldn’t even ask for. What kind of wind blew you in our direction?”
The mont Mrs. Leon saw Rio Gordon, she nearly scread. She knew that although the Leon family belonged to the circle of the wealthy, their status was not nearly on the sa level as the Gordon family, which was number one! It was a huge deal just to utter that they knew Young Master Gordon from the Gordon family, let alone having him visit their ho.
“Senna, what are you standing around for? Young Master Gordon has arrived, won’t you serve him so tea?”
If she heard correctly just now, Young Master Gordon claid that her own daughter fancied him—could that be a warning?
After all, for a household like the Gordon family to seek a daughter-in-law, they would certainly look for a match from families like the Jensen or Smith family, deed suitable for a powerful marriage alliance. The Leon family would be far from their league—was her daughter delusional, fancying Young Master Gordon himself?
“Mrs. Leon, you flatter . I’m just Senna’s classmate. I have visited your ho when we were kids…” Even though it was Bianca Gordon and Ivy Aretha who forced him to escort her ho and he left from the doorway, Rio Gordon had t Mrs. Leon once before. As he spoke, Rio’s gaze remained fixated on Senna’s silhouette at the top of the stairs.
Mrs. Leon instantly got the ssage, “Senna, did you hear
talking to you? We have a guest over, why are you still standing there? Hurry and serve your classmate so tea!”
Then she addressed Rio Gordon, “If I recall correctly, Young Master Gordon, you’re a bit older than Senna, so you must be her senior, right?”
“Mrs. Leon is correct!”
Called by Mrs. Leon repeatedly, Senna finally snapped out of her daze and quickly went downstairs to make tea.
As he watched Senna’s busy figure, Rio Gordon added, “You don’t need to trouble Senna. I’m not here to visit; I brought Senna ho and also have sothing to discuss with you, Mrs. Leon!”
“Clang!”
Hearing this, Senna, who got startled, lost her grip on the teacup, and it crashed to the floor.
“Senna!”
“Senna!”
Mrs. Leon and Rio Gordon called out simultaneously, but Rio was a step faster, striding over to Senna, “How could you be so careless? Let
check!”
Rio Gordon took Senna’s hand, inspecting it thoroughly for any glass shards or signs of scalding from the hot water before finally breathing a sigh of relief. Mrs. Leon gaped in astonishnt at the scene, unable to close her mouth for a long while.
What was this situation?
Her daughter and Young Master Gordon from the Gordon family?
Oh, my God, the shock was too much!
She was totally unprepared for this!
“Soone co and clean up the floor, and then brew a pot of tea for Young Master Gordon!”
As she instructed the servants, Mrs. Leon also apologized to Rio Gordon, “I apologize, Young Master Gordon. Senna isn’t usually this clumsy, it’s just that…”
“No worries, I didn’t co here for tea!”
