Chapter 173

Author: Glazed Snow
First, it was a race; now, it was a battle of wealth.

When it came to money, Stanley, the richest man in Hovendale, clearly wasn't someone who could lose.

Jessica flashed him a coy smile, her pretty face glowing as she pleaded with him to buy the bikini.

Stanley glanced at Jessica, then shifted his gaze to Wendy.

Wendy was looking at him with her clear, bright eyes.

Jessica clung to his arm, pouting and sweetly begging, "Stanley, please buy it for me. I really want it!"

Stanley turned to the shopkeeper. "I'll pay you double what it's worth."

He offered to double the price to buy the bikini for Jessica.

Jessica lifted her chin proudly, like a peacock flaunting her feathers, casting a smug look at Wendy as if to say, "Look, Stanley bought it for me."

Nathan quickly chimed in. "Stanley, you're really killing the fun here. Sir, I'll pay three times the price."

Nathan was willing to pay three times the price to buy it for Wendy.

Wendy glanced at Nathan, shaking her head. "Nath

    "Good, I'm glad. If Nathan ever bullies you, call me right away. From now on, I'll back you up in everything. I won't let my great-grandchild suffer even a little!""Okay, Grandpa."After the call ended, Wanda was beaming with joy. "Mrs. Lowe, I'll arrange a few more staff members. One team will handle your meals, and another will take care of your prenatal checkups.""I prefer things quiet. We don't need that many people.""Don't worry," Wanda replied. "I know what I'm doing. I'll arrange for a doctor right away. Tomorrow, we'll do a full prenatal exam.""Alright."Wanda left, and Ivy walked over to the window. She took out her phone and made another call. She was calling her grandfather, Roger.The call connected quickly, and Roger's voice came through. "Hey, Ivy. Keith already called me earlier to share the good news. Congratulations on your pregnancy."Hearing that Keith had already informed Roger, Ivy felt deeply moved. She knew Keith was backing her up in his own way.No

    "What is it?" Ivy asked.Wanda took out a pregnancy test stick. "It's a pregnancy test."Ivy paused. "A pregnancy test?"Wanda said, "I noticed you've been unusually sleepy these past few days, and your appetite hasn't been great. Based on my experience, there's a good chance you're pregnant. You can use this test for a preliminary check."Wanda had come with a mission. Not only had Ivy and Nathan been living together these days, but Wanda had also adjusted Ivy's meals to include ingredients believed to support fertility. Ivy and Nathan were young and had a healthy lifestyle. Pregnancy was perfectly normal.In truth, Ivy herself had been waiting for the results these past couple of days. She just hadn't expected Wanda to notice it first.Ivy reached out and took the test. "Thank you. I'll go test it inside."She got out of bed and went into the bathroom to take the test.The wait was only one minute, but to Ivy, that minute felt endless. She clasped her hands together and sil

    Nathan smirked. "That's because your stamina isn't great. Starting tomorrow, you need to work out more."He woke up early every day to go running and worked out regularly. His physical condition was excellent.Ivy had no interest in exercising. Her period was due in the next couple of days, and she would know soon whether she was pregnant.If she were pregnant, there was no way she was going to work out."Take a nap. I'll drive us home," Nathan said."Okay," Ivy repliedNathan stepped on the gas, and the luxury car cruised smoothly down the road. Probably because his driving was too steady, Ivy quickly drifted off and fell fast asleep.Watching her fall asleep almost instantly, Nathan smiled helplessly. It seemed he really had worn her out earlier.He slowed down and turned on the air conditioning, driving all the way home at an easy pace.Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the villa. Ivy still hadn't woken up. Nathan didn't plan to wake her and simply lifted her

    Ivy had never seen anything like this before. She stared at the screen in shock. "Nathan, what kind of movie is this supposed to be?"Nathan was a little speechless. He really had told Baxter to pick a romance, but clearly, Baxter had gotten creative and chosen something like this instead."This has nothing to do with me!" Nathan said. "Baxter booked it!"Ivy shot him a look. "Yeah, right. Like I'd believe that."Nathan felt like there was no way to get out of this one. He hurriedly explained again, "I swear, I didn't pick this!"Ivy kept watching the screen. "Why are you so nervous? I didn't even blame you. Let's just watch it together."Ivy's eyes were fixed on the movie, bright and curious, like she was watching it for the first time. Seeing her this way, Nathan felt that she looked even more innocent and pure."What's the male lead's name?" Ivy asked.Nathan replied, "No idea. Why do you care?"Ivy said casually, "Just wondering. He's pretty good-looking."Nathan's gaze d

    Nathan said, "My assistants and secretaries are all men. There are no women around me, so you don't have to worry."Ivy blinked. Was he…explaining himself to her?She knew she was only sweet-talking him because she wanted to get pregnant, but the more time she spent with Nathan, the more she noticed all the bright parts of him. He really was a good man.With his status and his looks, he was pretty much the highest level you could get in an arranged marriage.Nathan opened the passenger door for her like a gentleman. "Get in."Ivy climbed in, and Nathan got behind the wheel. He stepped on the gas, and the luxury car took off.-Half an hour later, they arrived at the movie theater. It was a weekday, so there weren't many people.Nathan held the movie tickets, then spotted the concession stand. "Do you want popcorn?"Ivy had only been to a movie once, when she was very young. She had come with her parents.Tabitha had held her hand. She remembered seeing the popcorn and tuggi

    Ivy could feel how hard Nathan was kissing her. Men really were visual creatures. Last night, he didn't even want to come back to the bedroom.Nathan's hand slid down her leg, reaching to pull off her clothes.Ivy stopped him quickly. "Wait."His voice turned rough. "What is it?""You said it yourself. We're in your office."Nathan pinched her cheek lightly. "Quit pretending. You came here dressed like this just to get me worked up."Ivy had no comeback for that. He wasn't wrong.Nathan moved again to take off her dress, but Ivy held his hand down. "No. You'll rip my stockings.""I'll buy you new ones.""I don't want new ones."Her tone was firm enough that Nathan's jaw tightened. He let out a low laugh. "So you're teasing me on purpose now?"Ivy wrapped her arms around his neck. "If you want me, then you're taking me shopping, watching a movie with me, and eating out with me."Nathan said, "Fine. We'll go now."Ivy blinked. He actually agreed?She had actually been try
