Semua Bab Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife: Bab 1801 - Bab 1810

Michael sighed. He sounded rather sad. “Do you loathe me that much?”“I loathe you because you lied to me about your health condition. Will you be happy or upset when someone you no longer fancy deliberately shows up in front of you every day?”Ivanka tried to put him in her shoes.Michael found the words “no longer fancy” extremely hurtful. He was upset. But no matter how upset he felt, he had lost the right to argue with her. It was no longer his place to say anything else.He pressed his lips together and said hoarsely, “I didn’t do it on purpose. I just want to… I think you still hold prejudice against me. Why do you treat me and Jonah differently? Is it because he is still in a wheelchair?”Ivanka was speechless.He had spoken these words before.Why was he so obsessed with this topic?Ivanka furrowed her brows and felt frustrated. “At least Jonah won’t repeatedly do something I hate. He won’t hold anything against me…”“Is that true?”Before Ivanka even finished, Michae

But there was no way Michael would ditch Ivanka and leave alone. Besides, he was never one to back down from a confrontation.He even stepped forward and put Ivanka behind him protectively.Ivanka felt tightness in her chest, and her heart ached a little.Michael still had injuries on his body. If Mr. George attacked him, he could easily knock Michael to the ground. Even so, Michael insisted on protecting her in his poor condition. She would be lying if she said that she was unmoved by this gesture.Ivanka recalled how he had put himself in front of her courageously and took two bullets for her in Kingzillion Casino.At that moment, she could not describe how she felt about him.Certainly, she hoped that Michael would not get injured because of her again.She held his arm. Even though she said nothing to him, her actions spoke louder than words.In the next second, she locked eyes with Mr. George and chuckled. “I barely know you, so just cut the useless pleasantries and get str

Michael swung his elbow at George. It was fast and sharp, just like his usual style.Before making his move, he had glanced at Ivanka. She understood the message immediately and discreetly took out her phone.Michael trusted Ivanka to have his back. They had built such a level of trust over time. But his injury slowed him down. His movements were not as smooth as before and left an opening.George was no novice. He stepped back to dodge, grabbed Michael’s wrist with one hand, and aimed an elbow strike at the joint of his arm with the other. The strike was powerful and vicious, as if he wanted to break Michael’s arm.Michael frowned. Pulling his hand back was not an option. He might dislocate his shoulder if he tried.Instead, he raised his leg to force some space between them. Then, with his free hand, he aimed for George’s neck. George had to back off to avoid being taken down.“Mr. Barkworth, you’ve still got it,” George said. He was slightly out of breath but stared at Michael

The driver kept the ride smooth while still trying to go fast.Michael may have tricked Ivanka a little, but his injuries were real. They were starting to bleed.He always wore black, so no one could notice the blood unless they looked closely. It always gave Michael an advantage.George could not see the injuries, so he had been wary and did not dare to act too harshly. George would not have let them go so easily if Michael had worn a lighter shirt.Ivanka watched Michael as he suffered. Her nose became stuffy, and she almost cried.Michael leaned on her shoulder. He was so tall that the position felt awkward and hurt his wounds all the more. But it also brought him close to Ivanka. He could smell her unique scent, which was soothing.When he heard Ivanka sniffle, he froze for a moment.“Did you cry?” Michael struggled to sit up. Ivanka quickly supported him. When she noticed that Michael was worried, she felt a little embarrassed and quickly touched her face.However, she d

Ivanka’s heart sank. She had expected such a question.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them, the confusion in her eyes was replaced by clarity.She turned to face Michael.Michael’s gaze was intense as he watched her. He held onto her hand tightly. He was afraid she would pull away if he loosened his grip.But she would not. Ivanka wanted to talk honestly with him too.He said, “Iv, you didn’t push me away. That means you don’t hate me, right? Maybe you still have feelings for me? Stop lying to yourself. Don’t hold back how you feel anymore. Okay?” His voice carried a mix of hope and nervousness. He worried she might say something that would shut him down.Ivanka lowered her gaze and said nothing.Michael saw this and continued, “I know I messed up before. But I’m asking for a chance to make it right. I want us to have a future together.”Ivanka turned to look at him. She did not look disgusted, which made Michael feel relieved.Their eyes locked.
