Chapter 41: 42, The world for two, the pain for three
Fortunately, Anna is returning from her marriage leave the day after tomorrow, and the relief is almost here!
With this thought, Ivy Aretha finally relaxed. Those two big n had spent almost the entire day in the office, and even ordered her to order takeout for lunch. They still hadn’t left by the ti work was over.
As soon as it was ti to leave work, Ivy’s phone rang as expected, “Mommy, Aunt Madeline and I are having dinner at One ter Sunshine, can you co straight here when you finish work?!”
A cute voice ca from Bianca Aretha on the phone.
One ter Sunshine, that was her little girl’s favorite restaurant. Due to her busy schedule, she hadn’t taken her out to eat for a long ti.
“Alright, Mommy is about to finish work, I’ll be there soon. You go ahead and order with Aunt Madeline!”
After hanging up the phone, Ivy looked up to find that the CEO Mr. Gordon had not yet left work. Feeling impatient, she had no choice but to summon the courage to knock on the door and enter.
Michael Gordon looked up and asked, “What’s up?”
“Um, I have sothing to do after work, can I leave first?” Although it was already off-work ti, Ivy still asked cautiously because the boss was still there.
“What’s the matter?” Michael’s eyebrows furrowed.
“I…,” she couldn’t just say she was going to have dinner with her daughter, “I have so personal matters to take care of!”
“Personal matters?” Michael chewed on these two words carefully, his eyes circling around her body. He neither agreed nor disagreed, “What personal matters could you have? Wait a bit longer!”
Why couldn’t she have personal matters? “Mr. Gordon, I’ve been working overti for many days, and I really have sothing to do today!”
Jaysen Smith’s gaze shuttled between Ivy Aretha and Michael Gordon, then chuckled and said, “Michael, it’s normal for a beautiful lady like Miss Aretha to be asked out on a date after work. Your behavior is very immoral!”
“Is it?” Michael’s eyes darkened as he looked at Ivy, his tone playfully teasing, “With such a handso guy like
right here, why bother going out for a date!”
Jaysen Smith: “…”
Ivy Aretha: “…”
Arguing with Michael was pointless. Since Ivy had inford him, she decided to leave straight away, grab her bag, and head for One ter Sunshine. Upon arrival, she noticed a young man sitting with her beloved daughter and Sienna Harrison.
As soon as the man saw her, he stood up and nodded towards Ivy. He was about thirty years old, with a gentle appearance, and wore black-frad glasses. He looked like the kind of person one could settle down with.
“Mommy, how do you feel about the new boyfriend I introduced to you?”
Upon hearing this, Ivy suddenly realized that her cunning daughter and Sienna had tead up to set her up for a blind date.
“Miss Aretha, nice to et you. I am Boris Hunt. It’s a pleasure to et you!”
“Nice to et you!” Ivy Aretha greeted him awkwardly, then sat down next to her beloved daughter and shot a fierce glance at Sienna Harrison, who turned her head away to ignore her.
“Miss Aretha, Miss Harrison has already told
about your situation. I won’t mind!” Boris Hunt’s eyes hadn’t left Ivy since she appeared.
“Mr. Hunt, I think there might be a misunderstanding…” Ivy knew what he ant, but still said so awkwardly.
This damn Sienna set her up for a blind date without any warning, and Ivy was not prepared at all.
“It’s okay, Miss Harrison has already told
that you have a daughter. I won’t mind, and after marriage, I’ll treat her like my own daughter!” Boris Hunt said with a serious face, clearly having done a lot of howork before coming.
“Well…” Ivy found it hard to say so things in front of her daughter, “I don’t think we know each other well enough to talk about this yet!”
“Bianca, let Aunt Madeline take you to the kitchen to see if our dishes are ready. Let your mommy and your future daddy have a good chat!” Sienna smoothly picked up Bianca Aretha and took her away.
After walking a few steps, the little girl blinked her big, clear eyes and looked at Sienna Harrison, “Aunt Madeline, will Uncle Boris really beco my daddy?”
Sienna slowed down, looked into the little girl’s serious eyes, felt her heart soften, and bent down to give her a kiss, “Do you want Uncle Boris to beco your daddy, Bianca?”
If Ivy’s goal was to find a father for Bianca, then Boris Hunt would undoubtedly be the perfect choice, having experienced a failed and short-lived marriage and knowing how to love a woman better.
Moreover, his family situation was good, his career was good, and most importantly, he could take care of people.
“Aunt Madeline, can I be honest?” Little Bianca’s gleaming eyes grew wide and wary.
“Sweetheart, you don’t want Uncle Boris to be your daddy, do you?” Sienna guessed as she rubbed her little head.
“How do you know?” Bianca was extrely curious. “Aunt Madeline, do you have X-ray eyes?”
“It’s written all over your face, do I need X-ray eyes? Isn’t this very obvious?”
The little girl had been visibly disappointed from the mont she saw Boris Hunt, although she was still very polite.
Sienna sat down on a nearby sofa with the little girl, sighed, and asked, “Can you tell
why you don’t like Uncle Boris to be your daddy? Is it because he’s not handso enough?”
“No!” The little girl replied quickly, “It just feels like Uncle Boris and mommy are not from the sa world!”
Sienna: “…” Does a five-year-old really know what “being from the sa world” ans?
“Isn’t this Miss Harrison?”
“Isn’t this Miss Harrison?” A deep and low voice accompanied by footsteps ca from not far away, “So the child is already this big. No wonder you stood
up at the last blind date.”
“Mr. Gordon? Mr. Smith?” Sienna looked up and t the eyes of both n. Startled, she quickly apologized, “So you two ca here to eat too? That thing last ti, it was just a joke. Mr. Gordon, didn’t you also hope that I would ss it up?”
Sienna knew Michael Gordon. Although they had only t once, she had seen many reports and rumors about him and knew enough about him. This man had a woman hidden in his heart, which was why no matter how many scandals were circulated over the years, no one ever got close to him.
As for their blind date, it was just a formality for him, and the outco was predetermined. As for why she wanted Ivy to replace herself, it was to set the cheating man’s mind at ease.
After all, there was a huge gap between that man and Michael, and he was prone to bouts of inferiority.
“How did Miss Harrison know that I wanted it to fail?” Michael looked at her with interest, “Maybe I would fall in love with you!”
