“Let me pay for you and Mr. Sadler’s bill today,” Chiara said confidently.Ivanka smiled. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”After she ended the call, Jonah asked, “What would you like me to do?”He noticed the playful smile on Ivanka’s face. From the start, she had been dropping him hints. He could tell she had a plan, but he wanted to know what it was and why she was involved with Melanie.Ivanka explained, “She’s after the Willy suburbs project. She’s trying to bait me into her game. I’m going to pull her into mine instead.”She wanted to have Chiara completely under her control.Jonah nodded. He understood what was going on. Soon, Chiara arrived and busied herself tending to both Ivanka and Jonah.When pouring a cup of water for Jonah, she “accidentally” spilled it all over him. She said, acting shocked, “Mr. Sadler, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to!”Jonah smiled calmly. “It’s fine.”If Ivanka had not mentioned Melanie’s plans earlier, Jonah might have believed it was just a m

Ivanka instantly made herself clear. Upon hearing her sentence, Jonah’s heart sank. He looked sad. He asked, “If I don’t help you with this, you’re not going to help me out, right?” Ivanka felt embarrassed upon hearing his question. She quickly explained herself. “I don’t mean that. I’m playing along with what you said and giving you my word.” While saying this, she looked anxious. Seeing Ivanka in her current demeanor, Jonah felt sad. Even though he knew it, he still wanted to ask to make himself feel better. He smiled. “I understand. Iv, in return, I wish you could… Forget it. I won’t say anything more. After all, you certainly won’t agree with it. To say anything more than this would be me wasting my breath.” There was a tinge of misery to his smile. Seeing Jonah in his current state, Ivanka felt sad too. She was the reason Jonah fell to this state. She pursed her lips and said, “I understand how you feel, but I think our friendship can last longer than if we’re

Ivanka shook her head in resignation. After that, she smiled. It looked like this strategy of hers and Jonah worked. Sandy had not only taken it seriously, but as her friend, she was also worried that Ivanka would get caught in it. Ivanka was touched. But she knew it would never happen. Ivanka knew herself best. She felt a whole slew of complicated emotions about Jonah. She was grateful for him, trusted him, but she never liked him. She did not have the same kind of crush that a couple normally had for him. She thought their current relationship status was the best arrangement. “Sandy, thank you for your concern. I understand that you’re doing me a favor and worrying about me. But I’m in a different state of mind these days. Love doesn’t matter so much to me anymore. This is especially after experiencing a failed marriage. I don’t want to destroy a hard-won friendship. Jonah and I are very compatible, but only as friends. Besides, I never thought of other possibilities between

Ivanka thought for a moment before giving a nod. “You’ll wait for us at home, then. I’ll buy you some daily necessities.” Ivanka explained to Jonah. He could not help but laugh. The corners of his lips curved upward, and he looked approachable. The distance between them drew closer because of his smile. Ivanka was annoyed. “What are you laughing about?” Jonah waved his hands. “You look cute when you explain things to me in such detail.” Ivanka was a little stunned. Meanwhile, Sandy was sensible enough to look away. As the saying went, it was best to ignore things that had nothing to do with her. Sandy did not expect Jonah to be so flirty. Ivanka said nothing. The atmosphere was slightly awkward. Jonah noticed this. He realized that his words had been too flirty and over the board for a friend—Sandy. Jonah said, “Alright. I’m hungry. You may go now and come back early.” It was only then that Ivanka and Sandy left together. When they left, they did not say anything

“That’s none of your business. It’s between me and Ivanka. Mr. Sadler, as the only son of the Sadler family, you should also shoulder the responsibility of passing on the family name. So, mind your own business. I heard that Mrs. Sadler is busy matching you up again. There’s no telling if the other party minds your current situation. “Besides, even if there aren’t any feelings between Ivanka and me, we were once husband and wife. What and who do you think you are?” His speech struck Jonah where it hurt. He, who had always been soft-spoken and refined, was a little dumbfounded. His tone was still calm, without fluctuations. However, Ivanka could just sense that he was angry. It might have been because they had both been rivals for so long. They knew each other too well. It was the same way Michael had never considered Jonah as a serious threat. From the very beginning, Michael never treated Jonah as anyone worthy of his attention. It was just as Ivanka thought. He did not
