Chapter 899

Author: Glazed Snow
Shaun couldn't believe that Madeline wanted to stick with the Halsey and ditch him. He paused from washing the dishes, wondering if he was even her real brother.

Then, he glanced at Madeline. "What if I didn't do anything wrong? What if Halsey's the one who messed up?"

"No way! She's always right!" Madeline insisted.

Shaun could only laugh dryly. He finally understood that Madeline was totally biased.

"Just hurry up and win Halsey back, or else!"

With that, Madeline turned and went back to her room.

Shaun looked down at the dish in his hand, completely speechless.

Halsey stayed with Madeline for the rest of the day. While Madeline worked on a research diagram, Halsey focused on her fashion designs. She listened carefully to the sounds outside.

After Shaun finished the dishes, he left—most likely for the office. He was incredibly busy these days.

Later that afternoon, a few of Madeline's female classmates dropped by. They were all close friends from her research institute, st

    Nathan didn't get out of bed. He pulled Ivy closer into his arms. In truth, his internal clock had already woken him up around six. With Ivy asleep against him, warm and soft, he hadn't wanted to move.Nathan looked at her flushed lips. "Tired?"Ivy knew exactly what he meant. "Not at all."Nathan reached out and brushed his thumb over her lips. "You've got a little spot here where the skin's broken."Ivy shot him a mock glare. "That's your fault. Don't pretend you've got nothing to do with this."Nathan curved his lips indulgently. "Alright. My bad."The air grew a little charged. Ivy stared straight at him. "What are you still doing in bed?"Nathan raised a brow instead of answering. "What do you think?"Ivy smiled, her hand landing on his abs and sliding lower. "Who knows what you're thinking?"Nathan's throat tightened, heat flashing instantly in his eyes.Ivy laughed. "I just realized you're really good at pretending.""What do you mean?" Nathan asked."You always lo

    Did Nathan really want it tonight?Ivy suddenly leaned in and kissed his thin lips.Nathan looked at her, then quickly pressed down, capturing her flushed lips in a deep kiss.Ivy wrapped her arms around his neck and responded, gentle but eager, meeting his kiss without holding back.They had never kissed this long before. Just kissing, nothing else. Ivy felt weak all over, as if her body had melted.Nathan lowered his face into the curve of her neck and began kissing her hair.Ivy's hands slid upward. Careful but bold, she cradled his head and threaded her fingers through his neat, short hair. She gave it a little tug and suddenly laughed.Nathan's voice turned rough. "That funny?"He had already noticed what she was doing.Ivy was genuinely happy, acting playful and sly like a mischievous kid. "A little."Nathan gave her a look, then rolled onto his back, staring at the ceiling. "Go to sleep."As he spoke, he started to get up."Where are you going?" Ivy asked.Nathan

    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
