Chapter 173: 154. The so-called teasing in the bridal chamber
As he gently held her in his arms, Ivy Aretha’s head rested against his broad chest, right on his heart. The strong and steady heartbeat filled her ears, giving her an unprecedented sense of security!
It felt as if she had been drifting for so long, and she had finally found a safe harbor to shield her from the wind and rain!
With a smile slowly spreading across her face, Ivy softly closed her eyes. Thinking about what happened during the day, she couldn’t help but ask, “You said earlier that you almost fell out with Jaysen Smith because of your blind date with Madeline. Does that an Jaysen likes Madeline?”
As she spoke, Ivy shifted slightly in his arms, prompting him to respond.
After not hearing a reply for a while, Ivy suddenly opened her eyes, only to be t with a pair of passionate, love-filled red eyes. Michael Gordon’s gaze held both desire and restraint, his suppressed emotions clearly visible.
His forehead was marked with throbbing veins and tiny beads of sweat, making his feelings quite apparent!
“Are you…?” Ivy couldn’t bring herself to ask if he was feeling uncomfortable in this situation.
To a man she believed had just been rejected by her, any question she asked seed futile!
“Obviously!”
Just as Ivy was struggling to find the right words, Michael’s low, hoarse voice echoed above her, “That kid has had a crush on Madeline for years. So, when he found out that the blind date my family arranged for
was with her, he almost attacked !”
Even after all this ti, Michael could still vividly recall the expression on Jaysen’s face when he confronted him. Jaysen had asked why he didn’t refuse the blind date with the Harrison family’s daughter!
At first, Michael didn’t see the issue. It was just a eting with a woman, after all – there was no such thing as refusing or accepting, only whether they liked each other or not. It wasn’t until Jaysen finally admitted his feelings for Madeline that Michael understood!
“No way!”
Upon hearing this news, Ivy’s eyes widened in shock. It was clear to her from today’s events that Jaysen was attracted to Madeline – even the dead wouldn’t believe otherwise. However, she was stunned to hear that Jaysen had secretly admired Madeline for years, especially since she had known Madeline for quite so ti, too!
And she had no idea!
“It’s true!” Michael chuckled as he pinched Ivy’s cheek, then leaned down to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead before continuing, “I was so annoyed at the ti. He even asked
to refuse the blind date! The Gordon family has so connection with the Harrison family, and my father was pressuring . In the end, I promised Jaysen I would ruin the blind date. He only let the matter go after that. What I didn’t expect was that I would et you, and nearly be defeated by you!”
That cup of coffee…Michael couldn’t imagine how it would have been if it had been freshly brewed!
He didn’t expect that he would go on the blind date, nor that Madeline would arrange for a substitute. Thankfully, this twist of fate allowed him to et Ivy. He might even have to thank Madeline for that!
“So, that’s why you started by criticizing my body right away?”
When she heard these words, Ivy’s eyes lit up, and she suddenly freed herself from Michael’s embrace. Her bright, beautiful eyes sparkled with excitent as she asked, “Did you only want to ruin the blind date and not that you actually think my body is bad?!”
Being criticized by a man about her figure was disheartening for any woman, let alone Ivy, who was a stunning beauty accustod to receiving complints. His criticism had genuinely hurt her back then!
She even thought that her body had changed after having a child!
That led her to find this man quite irritating!
“Ahem!”
Michael was struck by her clear, crystal-like eyes that bore no impurities. He didn’t expect Ivy to be so excited, her joy and astonishnt practically overflowing from her eyes upon learning the truth!
So, she must like him too, right!
Because only the opinion of soone you like is the most important!
Of course, the clever Mr. Gordon would naturally not spoil the fun at this ti, otherwise, how would they get through the days to co!
Michael Gordon just coughed lightly twice and didn’t say a word, but his eyes remained unfazed, staring at Ivy Aretha. The deep, peach-blossom-like smile in his eyes was incredibly intoxicating!
Ivy was almost infected by such a gaze, her watery eyes also turned slightly redder, and her cheeks turned a little pink…
“Don’t look at
with that kind of eyes, or else I’ll think you want !”
Michael Gordon bowed his head and kissed her trembling eyelashes, with an evil smile creeping up his lips and a teasing voice overflowing from his Adams apple, beads of sweat on his forehead thickened, “What will you do if I can’t control myself and want you?”
At the end, Michael Gordon’s repressed voice was so hoarse that it was impossible to make out any words.
Ivy Aretha: “…”
What did she an by looking at him with that kind of eyes? It was obviously him who looked at her with that kind of eyes!
She was just being affected, that’s all!
Just as she thought, Ivy felt sothing familiar pressing against her lower abdon, its scorching hot temperature searing her skin. She didn’t need to look down to know what it was!
It was the sa last ti as well!
Ivy realized that, after more than six years, when she thought about it, the scene from that night was still vivid in her mind!
Although he forced himself on her, his actions were so gentle from beginning to end, and she unknowingly got lost in it. Everything happened naturally until the next day when she finally understood the truth!
Perhaps because of this, these years, Ivy and her daughter Bianca Aretha lived their lives together, never really hating him in her heart despite verbally complaining about him many tis!
Now, it beca sowhat clear that maybe it’s really hard to hate a man like this!
Forget it!
Since she had married him, there’s no need to keep holding onto her pride and tornt him like this!
Thinking this way, Ivy raised her eyes flirtatiously, her smile mischievous, and teased him with a seductive voice, “If you can’t control yourself, then don’t control; if you want, just take it. You have a wife already, why are you still torturing yourself?”
Ivy Aretha’s crisp, alluring voice exploded like heavenly music in Michael Gordon’s ears. He admitted, this was the first ti he heard the most beautiful words from her mouth. This kind of excitent made Michael Gordon stunned, foolishly, for three seconds!
“Baby, you’re the one who said this!” After reacting, Michael Gordon excitedly turned around, supported his body, and gently pressed against her Her reddened eyes looked at him, almost uncontrollable, “I didn’t force you; it’s your own voluntary decision, right?”
Upon hearing that, Ivy almost couldn’t help but laugh out, “Yes, yes, it’s my voluntary decision. I just don’t want you to say later that I mistreated my husband on our wedding night!”
Michael Gordon: “…”
What kind of reason is that?
