“Im sorry grandma, it wasn't my intention to be rude. I just went to visit my grandmother at the hospital that's why I'm late this time, and my grandma isn't doing so good” Ivy said in a low voice.
“Oh spare me the details and go do your works! I don't have to remind what your status is in the Willard family” Lady Willard exclaimed authoritatively.
With the instructions given, Ivy silently left the dining room and strode to the kitchen.“What happened? How did the meeting at the hotel go?” Isla came after her and asked? ”Ivy shrugged her shoulders sadly and didn't say anything. She felt that if she opened her mouth to say a word, she might up crying.However, Isla was quick witted so she understood what she meant.“Im sorry about that. But, how are you going to pay for grandmother's surgery now? This was your only way out , right?” Isla was concerned.“I don't know. I really don't know yet but I will find a way out” She feigned a smile on her face.“I couldn't find Chase at the dining table. Was he not back from work yet?” Ivy asked as she picked up the used frying pan and kept it in the washing basin.“Sir Chase came back a little while ago but he retired to his room, saying that he was ill. Because of this, Madame let him rest” Isla said.“Oh I see, I will bring some hot chocolate drink for him then” Ivy picked up the mug and lit up the gas cooker.“Maam Ivy, aren't you forgetting something? Sir Chase doesn't like to drink chocolate, did you forget?”“I know he doesn't like the drink but I think it will be good for him this time. Don't worry, I will make him drink it at all cost”After being married to Chase Willard, the third grandson of the Willard family for two years. She was well aware of what he liked and doesn't.Even though their marriage was simply a marriage of convenience, Ivy still wanted to form a bond.After all, she fell in love with him the very first time they met at the rural beach when they were still too young to keep bonds.Ivy said and pour the hot chocolate drink into the mug and placed it on the serving tray before heading out.She picked up the tray and head out of the kitchen, going to the second floor of the house. Where her room was.Ivy carried the tray with the hot chocolate drink and headed to the bedroom. Just as she was about to push the door open, she heard a familiar voice from inside the room and she froze in her tracks. “Hey Diva, why are you being so silly? Do you think I won't come to pick you up simply because I'm married to a nobody? Don't worry, I won't delay at all, I'll come around to pick you up. Just send the details of your flight to me now” She heard her husband, Chase Willard say from inside the room. When Ivy heard this, her heart was immediately shattered. Ivy has always known that her husband doesn't love her at all but after what happened that night, she felt that things might have drastically changed between them, but she was wrong. He thinks she wasn't worthy of him. The truth is that he doesn't even remember anything about what happened that night. Saddened by what he said, Ivy felt heartbroken and wanted to quietly take the cup of the hot chocolate drink back to the kitche
“Mommy, I'll like to go see the fishes across the urban river, will you take me over to have a look at it this once?” The sweet voice of a little child rang out from under the table. The woman bent over and said, "Of course, I'll take you there my little princess but have your food first”. Peeking from under the spacious family table, who seem to be on vacation. The entire place was green and serene–The beautiful scenery of the vacation house attested to the beauty of the people. “Mommy save me! Save me, mommy!” The voice of the little girl rang out again this time but in distress. When the woman turned around, she saw the little girl swept away by the storm. Her eyes widened in shock and she couldn't scream. By the time the woman jerked out of her daze and shouted for help, the little girl was far off. “Help! Help! Somebody save my daughter! Ivana!” Emily Daughtler squeezed her eyes open, only to find herself breaking out in cold sweat. She covered her burning foreh
Ivy Haddock left the Willard family's mansion at about 8:Am and headed to the NB Jewelers in the city center. She was able to leave the house earlier because she wasn't forced to do all the house chores. since there was going to be a big party at the mansion in a few hours, only hired workers were allowed to take care of the arrangements.Arrived at the luxurious, NB Jewelers in the heart of the city. Ivy was a little scared about this but she decided to forge ahead. As soon as she was standing in front of the entrance to the shop. The attention of the people shopping for jewelry diverted to her and they began to sneer at her. “What is a pauper doing in a luxurious shop like this? Does she think, this place is a charity organization where they give free things?” “Look at the way she's dressed. Is she here to beg for money to buy herself a suitable dress?”. “Well, I think you are right. She must be a beggar with a greedy mind”. They mumbled amongst themselves while thr
“You know something, Ivy? You are too nice to everyone and that's the reason why everyone is taking advantage of you. You should learn to clap back sometimes” Natalia said as she walked toward the cabinet to drop her handbag. Ivy simply followed her into the office room without saying a word. She just listen to what Natalia said silently. When Natalia didn't hear any response from the young woman beside her, she turned back and saw Ivy lurking at the entrance. Natalia turned to face her and said, “Did you even hear what I said? Anyway, what are you doing there? Come inside” Natalia beckoned on her to come over. Ivy walked into the room carefully and stood in a corner–She was afraid of ruining something. After all, everything in the store looks quite expensive. She couldn't afford to get in trouble for such issues. “Ivy, look at me. You don't have to act so formally in front of me, you are my friend and I need you to treat me like your friend. In friendship, we are all equa
Chase was anxious when he got to their bedroom and couldn't find Ivy– He wasn't anxious because he cares about her but because he was worried that grandma Willard would scold him for her mistakes.Chase took out his phone and dialed Ivy's number.He could probably tolerate her if she got on his nerves and only cause trouble for him but he won't spare her if she angered his grandmother.When the time comes even if he had to turn the entire city upside to have her punished for the mistakes she made then he won't hesitate to do so.However, the phone only rang once and Ivy picked up the call immediately.Her tone was slightly hysterical.“Chase, I haven't been to the place you said yet. I still have work to do. I need a little more time and I'll be back soon” “Where are you?” Chase asked, suppressing the anger in his chest.“I...A construction site at Sun City's suburbs, I am." BeforeIvy could finish words, she wasinterjected by Chase."Get to the Rendal Restaurant near thehospital
What kind of ideas did she have? What did Jane and her future husband's arrangement have to do with her, and why ask her here to make a fool of herself? A wave of anger surged to Ivy's heart. Ivy looked at Jane with a calm butsad expression. "Yes, what am I doinghere?” “You! Ivy Haddock! You're so shameless!Today is my blind date meeting withRichard! You're all dirty, and yourlimping legs cannot even come together.How many I have you just been with, and did you just come to bring bad luck tom e? Get lost! ” Jane wished to tear Ivy into pieces! Was it easy for her to hold this blind date arrangement with Richard at a better restaurant? Why here of all places? Richard did not like publicity, so shehad to keep a low profile. Even whenhaving this arrangement with Willard's family. He also did not notify the Willard family as they only came to know about this arrangement, at the last minute and after her grandmother inquired about it. It was fortunate that the family also h
Chase Willard had a gloomy expression on his face after sending Ivy away from the restaurant. He was so mad at her after seeing the guts she had. When called her earlier to come over to the restaurant for a job– He only wanted her to witness his romantic moment with Davina–This was a great way to get her to divorce him. He thought that Ivy would readily sign the divorce papers, and free him of the burden of being married to a pauper. Getting rid of her means that he would get back together with Davina and his reputation will skyrocket immediately. This is because his family feels that he was worthless and wouldn't be able to contribute anything to the family since he was married to a poor orphan whereas his brothers were married to girls from influential families. It wasn't his fault in the first place but no one cares about the fact that he was forced to marry Ivy to fulfill his grandfather's wishes. His grandfather promised him a great future and shares in the Willard Group. H
“Yes, you must have a lot to do. After all, you still need to look after your incompetent husband as well as your good-for-nothing son. What a pitiful life you have!” Gloria Luz said. “You think that's all she has to do? She still has to go search for her pauper of a daughter-in-law” Victoria Summers said with a loud voice. “I feel pity for her, what could a helpless woman like her do in this situation? She only has to sway with the wind”.Violet could hear their taunting words as she hurried out of the garden.Her eyes were beginning to turn purple from anger. She didn't have the strength to counter those women. After all, they were right with what they are saying.The caliber of women in that sphere throwing mocking words at her we're beyond her standings– Because of this, she couldn't dare to do anything about it. Violet was afraid of causing any more trouble for the family since she might get severely punished if any of the women should lay a complaint against her.She could
