Michael’s expression was calm. “Alright, I’m going to get ready for her surprise. Grandma, draft a post and help explain her situation.”Rosie immediately nodded. “Okay! You better put more effort into this, or else I’ll never let you hear the end of this!”Ivanka was speechless.Meanwhile, Michael had finished his meal. He put down his spoon and got up.“That won’t be necessary! Michael, get back here!” Ivanka cried out in a panic. She was worried that he would actually do it.But Michael did not stop walking. Rosie went to the bathroom to wash her hands with a smile. Then she sat back down at the dining table and said, “Ignore him. Let’s keep eating.”Ivanka had an odd expression on her face. She immediately finished all the food on her plate and said, “Grandma, it’s getting late. I have some work to do. I’ll head back now.”Rosie frowned. Seeing that Ivanka was about to run off, she seized her hand at lightning speed. “You can’t leave, dearie.”Ivanka was puzzled.With an a

Ivan’s words felt like a venom that seeped into his heart and corroded Michael’s mind. Michael never believed that he fancied Ivanka. He simply thought they were a good match.That was all.Then, he said in a solemn voice, “If you have so much time on your hand, you might as well think about Sandy.”“Heck!” Ivan was relaxed just a moment ago. Once he heard this name, he exploded with rage.“Why do you have to mention her? What’s wrong with you?”Ignoring him, Michael snorted coldly and rolled up the car window. The glass panel raised and forced Ivan to withdraw his arm. He said with a sullen expression, “Shit, you really want to leave me here? My car broke down, and I don’t have a spare now. Let me in!”Michael frowned impatiently.But Ivan still saw him click something, and the car door was unlocked.Just as Ivan wanted to go over to the front passenger seat, Michael said in a somber voice, “Take the back seat.”Ivan halted in his tracks and did just that. He was grumblin

Michael seemed like he was not paying attention to them. However, if they were to look closely, they would notice that he was observing them through his peripheral vision. “Quick, open it up and look!”Without hesitation, Ivanka lifted the lid of the gift box.When she saw what was inside it, she froze in stunned silence. Michael silently focused on Ivanka. He pursed his lips and subconsciously turned to face Ivanka to get a clear view of her.Even he was unsure if he was feeling nervous. As for Ivanka, her face was as white as a sheet.Michael sure knew how to humiliate her.She did not expect him to resort to such a method on her.She subconsciously reminisced about what had happened two years ago.On that day, they attended a banquet together. Naturally, they pretended to be a model couple in front of others.On that day, she wore a pair of uncomfortable, low-quality high heels Michael gave her.Her legs became red and swollen. She subconsciously took off her shoes

Rosie looked outside as she watched Michael chase after Ivanka. She then said worriedly again, “Something’s not right! I know Iv is disappointed in Mic. But despite that, I know she’s still not over him deep down. Normally, even if they’re having issues, Iv wouldn’t leave so abruptly. But today, she walked out without a word and looked all gloomy. And what’s with those shoes anyway? You mentioned the meaning behind giving shoes to girls earlier. What is it?”Ivan became puzzled.Oh man, could it be that the meaning of the shoes caused this? Did that mean Iv still had not moved on from Michael?So, did that mean she had been deliberately stringing Michael along for such a long time?Hmm, that did not seem right either.Rosie noticed Ivan’s strange expression and asked him, “Ivan, quick, tell me already!”She had not heard about this superstition beforeIvan stopped overthinking and quickly explained, “There’s a saying that lovers shouldn’t give each other shoes because it’s belie

Michael remained silent.Ivan grew anxious as he frowned and urged, “Say something already!”Michael’s face clouded with gloom as he continued remaining silent.Ivan was starting to get frustrated with Michael’s silence. He said in a low voice, “Why won’t you speak up?! Did you catch up with Ivanka? Did you talk to her? What happened?!”Michael did not seem inclined to speak. As he started walking away, Ivan grabbed his arm.Michael gazed sharply at Ivan’s hand. He never liked anyone touching him.At that moment, Ivan could not care less. He pressed on, “Ivanka was in a very bad mood earlier. Something huge must have happened. Why didn’t you chase after her?”Ivan arrived late because he had to stay with Rosie. He came over because she insisted on checking the situation.But all he found was Michael standing there alone like a fool.“Damn it! Say something! Tell me what happened. Grandma is getting worried over there.”Michael’s frown deepened. He finally spoke in a low voice
