Chapter 653

작가: Glazed Snow
Halsey stood frozen in place as the car came barreling toward her.

At the last possible moment, a strong arm shot out, wrapping around her slender waist and yanking her into a warm, solid embrace.

The car whizzed past, just missing her by inches.

Still shaken, Halsey looked up at the man holding her.

It was him.

The masked man she had been searching for finally stepped into her sight. He had appeared.

Halsey whispered, "It's you."

The man released her gently and said with a low, calm voice, "You were looking for me?"

She nodded. "Yes, I was looking for you."

"Next time, watch where you're going," he replied coolly. Without another word, he turned and started to walk away.

Halsey hurried to follow. "Who are you? We've met before, haven't we?"

"I don't know you," he said plainly.

She didn't believe him for a second. "You don't know me? Then why did you save me? Twice today—you saved me from those men in black and then again just now on the street."

His voice was emotionless.

  • The Heartbreak Prescription   Chapter 1147

    Maybe Ivy's gaze lingered on Nathan's face a little too long. Nathan curled his lips slightly and asked with a half-smile, "Why are you staring at me like that?"Ivy snapped back to herself and said sincerely, "Thank you."He hadn't asked a single question, but he understood exactly what kind of situation she was in.Nathan said, "We're husband and wife. If someone messes with you, they're messing with me. If something like this happens again, you can tell me. Or if there's something you want me to do for you, I'll do it as long as it doesn't cross the line." Warmth spread through Ivy's chest. "What counts as crossing the line?""Illegal stuff. Things that break the rules," Nathan replied. Ivy was speechless. She honestly hadn't expected such a serious answer. After all, she was a law-abiding citizen, too.Ivy found herself smiling. "Are you saying that as long as it's legal and proper, you'll agree to any request I make?""You can try asking next time and see," Nathan said.

    Edric was so furious that he couldn't speak. Very quickly, a gentle, soft voice came through the phone to Ivy's ear. "This is all my fault. If you're angry, take it out on me. Kate is innocent."Ivy recognized the voice immediately. It was Noelle Parsons, the longtime mistress Edric had kept hidden all these years."Ivy, if you won't forgive me, I'll go find your mother right now. I'll grovel before her and beg for her forgiveness," Noelle cried.Ivy's heart clenched. This woman knew exactly how to hit her where it hurt most.Tabitha had suffered from depression for years. The last time Noelle showed up at their door, Ivy came home to find Tabitha lying in bed after swallowing an entire bottle of sleeping pills. If Ivy hadn't rushed her to the hospital in time, Tabitha would've been gone.Back then, Ivy had made a huge scene. Only then did Edric promise that Noelle would never come again and would never appear in front of Tabitha.And now, Noelle wanted to go see Tabitha agai

    Of course, Ivy had to dodge Nathan. She was pregnant now, and during the early stages of pregnancy, she couldn't sleep with him.To be honest, she hadn't even thought about intimacy yet. Before, as long as she didn't take the initiative, Nathan wouldn't either.She hadn't expected him to suddenly want to shower together tonight.Ivy still hadn't figured out how to tell him about the pregnancy, so she could only turn him down gently. "I just got home. I want to take a shower first."Nathan looked at her fresh, makeup-free face. His hand tightened as he pulled her closer. "You don't want to shower with me? Have you forgotten how you used to cling to me? Or are you playing hard to get now?"Ivy was instantly speechless. Heaven knew she was absolutely not playing hard to get."I'm not," she said quickly, afraid he would start suspecting something. Her hand rested on his silk pajamas. "People say couples need to keep a little distance sometimes, or things lose their spark. If I shower

    "No. Do you need something? I'm a bit busy right now, and I've got a meeting later," Ivy replied.Nathan paused before saying, "I might be home a little late tonight.""Okay," Ivy replied. "I might be late, too."Nathan sighed. "Alright, then. I'll let you get back to it."Ivy bade goodbye, then hung up.Nathan held his phone and frowned slightly. For some reason, he sensed a subtle change in Ivy's tone. Maybe she really was just busy."Mr. Lowe, it's time for the meeting," Baxter reminded him.Nathan stood up. "Let's go."-Nathan got home around eight, and Wanda immediately came over. "Mr. Lowe, welcome home."Seeing the smile on her face, Nathan asked, "Did something good happen today? Why do you look so happy?"Wanda smiled. "Today really is a happy day."Nathan raised an eyebrow. "What's the good news?"Remembering Ivy's instructions, Wanda shook her head. "I'm not telling you."Nathan laughed. Even Wanda was acting mysterious now.He glanced around, but didn't see

    The earlier sense of ease turned heavy again. Ivy remembered that she still had to face Nathan, and she couldn't predict what he would do.He would definitely be angry. Furious, even.Still, the child she was carrying was Keith's precious great-grandson. With Keith backing her up, there was no real need to be so nervous.Thinking it through like that, Ivy felt lighter again."Mr. Lowe left early this morning. Do you want to call him and share the good news?" Wanda asked.Ivy shook her head. "Don't tell him about the pregnancy yet. I'll find the right moment and tell him myself."Wanda replied, "Alright.""I'll head to work after breakfast.""I know you still want to work even though you're pregnant, but you should cut back a bit. From now on, everything comes second to the baby."Ivy placed her hand over her lower abdomen. "Don't worry. I'm the baby's mother. No one is looking forward to his arrival more than I am."-Nathan had been busy at the office all day. He had cleare

    "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
