Chapter 432: Chapter 411: Is Ivy Pregnant Again?
By Ivy’s reckoning, it had been precisely one month since Skyler Gordon smashed her forehead, resulting in their entire departnt being punished to the Cleaning Departnt. Today was the end of the punishnt term. Just as he was about to address this issue, a call from Calvin Gordon ca.
“Dad!”
“Is Ivy pregnant again?”
Instead of the bluntness he had imagined, he heard a sentence that sowhat puzzled him. He didn’t understand what Calvin Gordon ant by his straightforward question.
What did he an by ‘again’?
“Yes!”
Michael Gordon rely replied with an affirmative. He was silent for a while before speaking up again, “She’s pregnant? What’s the matter, dad?”
The line went silent for three seconds before a voice, tinged with a touch of lancholy, traveled into his ear, “So she’s pregnant, and that’s why you’re insisting on having the wedding. Are you worried about her being wronged?”
“She’s my wife. Whether she’s pregnant or not, the wedding will take place. Isn’t a wedding customary after marriage?”
Michael was on the phone with one hand and signing docunts with a pen in the other. “Dad, if you’re calling to say that you won’t show up to the wedding, I, Michael Gordon, am the one marrying her, and whether the Gordon family acknowledges her is their issue. As far as I am concerned, she is my wife, and I can’t allow her to be wronged.”
How could he let his wife remain naless and unacknowledged by his side?
The shocking news of Ivy being Mrs. Gordon was made public the mont he announced the wedding date. Contrary to his expectations, Calvin had only called for the first ti in a month and a half. Michael was sowhat at a loss to understand his intentions. However, he had said what he intended to, and whatever followed would be his father’s call.
“She already has two kids, is my acknowledgent really that important?!”
The resigned voice from the other end spoke. “Those who wanted to cause problems have already done so. It’s way too late to discuss this now. Have the wedding as you please. I just can’t understand why you’re so enamoured with her. Isn’t she just a woman?”
Michael was taken aback, sowhat unable to believe his father’s words. He pressed the phone closer to his ear. Could it be that…”Dad, do you agree?”
“Agree with what?”
“That Ivy is my wife?” Michael was sowhat excited. He understood Ivy too well. She was a person with trendous self-esteem. His unwavering devotion to her was entirely different from the Gordon family’s acceptance.
“Didn’t you say whether I acknowledge it or not, she will be your wife? Isn’t my recognition insignificant?”
Uh?
Indeed, he had said those words!
“I an, do you acknowledge that she’s your daughter-in-law?”
“Whether I recognise her or not, you’ve already married her. As a result, yes, she’s already my daughter-in-law, unless I disown both you and Ivy!”
Clearly, he couldn’t do that. Thus, his words were no longer important.
“Have you co around?”
Michael furrowed his eyebrows, sowhat unable to believe it. His attitude towards Ivy had remained unchanged since the first day he saw her. When he returned ho on New Year’s Eve, his father had warned him sternly if he married Ivy, he shouldn’t co ho afterward!
Only he understood how he felt at the ti. On one hand was his respected father, on the other, his beloved wife. Despite being known as ruthless, he wasn’t heartless. To choose between them was naturally hard.
Despite this, Calvin had forced him to make a choice. It wasn’t that he was being unfilial, but even without him as a son, Calvin still had another one. However, without him, his wife would have nothing, so he had no other option!
Today, however, Calvin unexpectedly seed to concede and called him, which was beyond what he had anticipated.
“Whether I’ve co to terms with it or not doesn’t matter.”
There was a deep sigh on the other end of the phone, sounding sowhat helpless yet sowhat relieved. However, he didn’t ntion the reason. “Since you can’t live without her, be careful. Lately, quite a few people are looking for her.”
Be careful?
Many people are looking for her?
Michael’s mind exploded. Although Ivy was sowhat flamboyant, she didn’t have any significant enemies. The only trouble was from the Gordon family — Karma from their previous lives forcing the next generation to bear the brunt.
Why would there be other people looking for her?
“Dad!”
Michael’s heart suddenly shot into his throat. His intuition told him Calvin might know sothing, and that’s why his attitude had changed so drastically. He recalled the bizarre scene at Theo Scott’s wedding when a middle-aged man had kneeled down and called Ivy ‘Princess’.
A lot of ti had passed since that incident. Although the man had left his business card, he hadn’t made any contact. However, Michael’s intuition told him it wasn’t that simple. He’d conducted an investigation but to no avail.
The sudden change in his father’s attitude made Michael suspect it had sothing to do with that encounter. After such a long hiatus without anyone making a move, it suggested secret investigations were taking place, all waiting for the right mont.
Because Ivy was pregnant, he’d shifted all his focus to being with her and had ignored the investigations. Now it seed that he was a step behind. The only probable explanation for Calvin’s comnt was…
“Is Ivy actually not that woman nad Luna Cooper? Does it have sothing to do with a princess called Ruby Ross?”
Although it was a question, Michael uttered it as an affirmation. If it weren’t for this, his father would never have changed his perception of Ivy in such a short period. When he thought about this possibility, his first reaction was that Ivy had suffered for nothing.
His heart tightened in pain, and he fell into a daze, only coming back to his senses when the heavy voice on the phone reached his ears. His heart felt like it had plunged into an abyss.
“It seems like you already know!”
Calvin’s deep, cold voice travelled through the phone calmly but assertively. “I thought you had forgotten the outside world due to your attachnt to your woman.”
For this woman, that son of his suspended Alya Larson from her job, punished his younger brother Skyler and the entire departnt, and devoted all his ti to her. Her presence was indeed causing trouble for him!
The mont he learned about it, he had inford his son. Since she isn’t the daughter of his enemy, she is his daughter-in-law, especially considering the grandson in her belly whom he didn’t want to lose. Moreover, the woman had a secret that the entire mankind wanted.
So he had specifically called to warn his son.
“Dad!”
Upon hearing this, Michael’s temper flared instantly. “Are you implying all that Ivy suffered earlier was in vain? Having her kidnapped, almost raped and killed, and even endangering your own granddaughter too? Ivy nearly lost her life for all these incidents. Now you’re revealing that all that wasn’t the case because you mistook her for soone else initially — not just Ivy, I can’t accept this either!”
