10 Chapters

Chapter 1

Elias' POVThe room fell silent for a moment. My girlfriend, Ivy Bennett, seemed genuinely surprised that I had actually agreed to her setting me up with another woman.She frowned, as if wanting to ask me something, but after a few seconds, under the expectant gaze of our friends, she sent me the contact anyway. Ivy called the person and said, "Hey, didn't you say your family's been pressuring you to get married? Well, I'm setting you up on a blind date. "His name is Elias Ashford. He has a PhD from a prestigious university and is now a senior researcher in our lab. You two should try getting to know each other!"Then, Ivy walked away as the person on the other end of the line began thanking her. Had our mutual friend, Aliya Brickham, not called out to her just now, Ivy would have kept her distance from me as she always did, staying ten feet away and treating me like I was invisible.The bitterness of the whiskey hit me all at once, and I clenched my fists hard just to keep

Chapter 2

Elias' POVAfter confirming the time and place for the blind date, I saw Ivy's latest social media post. It was a photo of her with a group of friends, with Matthew standing front and center.The caption read, "Good friends around me and the person I love most across from me."Her friends quickly began messaging her in the group chat."Way to go, Ivy! Matt finally came back! Let's congratulate these old flames on finally going public!""What do you mean by going public? Ivy liking Matt has always been an open secret!""What about Elias then? Hasn't he been pursuing Ivy for five years?""Pursuing her? That's just called being a simp! Now that Matt's back, why would Ivy waste any time on him?""Before Matt even came back, Ivy already had a proposal and ring prepared. Isn't it obvious who she really likes?""Wait! I think Elias is in this group! He can read all these messages we're sending…"The very next second, I was kicked from the group chat.An indescribable bitterness wel

Chapter 3

Elias' POVThe next day, I went to work as usual. My assistant, Tamara Hayes, told me that a new person had joined the department. It wasn't until I saw him in person that I realized it was Matthew.Ivy made no effort to hide their relationship as she introduced him to everyone."Matthew is a friend of mine. His research topic abroad happens to be related to my field, so I invited him here to observe and learn. Everyone, please be nice to him for my sake, okay?"Although Ivy was the director of the research institute, she had never allowed anyone to pull strings or receive special treatment.In the past, her mentor's daughter had wanted to visit her research project, but Ivy had bluntly turned her down. And whenever anyone tried to bribe their way into becoming her graduate student, she would reject every single one of them without exception.Now, hearing her openly admit that Matthew was someone she had brought in, everyone began whispering among themselves. "Dr. Bennett

Chapter 4

Elias' POVThe next day, I went to sort out the work that needed to be handed over and briefed Tamara on the experimental data.As the new lab was short-staffed, the approval for the transfer had come through almost immediately after I applied for it.Matthew had walked up beside me at some point. "Elias, Ivy invited the whole department for dinner last night. Why didn't you join us?"I answered in a strictly professional tone, "I had something else going on."But Matthew suddenly let out a mocking laugh. "Were you really occupied? Or were you just too afraid to show up because you knew Ivy was going to confess her feelings to me?"I frowned. There was undisguised hostility in Matthew's eyes.His lips curled into a sneer. "After all, you were the one acting as Ivy's boy toy while I was abroad for the past five years, weren't you?"At those words, the colleagues around us all turned to look, their eyes filled with curiosity, confusion, and contempt.I instinctively denied it. "

Chapter 5

Third-Person POVIvy froze for a fraction of a second and pressed the phone closer to her ear."Bride? What bride?" she asked, frowning, but no one answered her.When she turned to glance at her phone, she saw that the call had already been disconnected.Was Elias getting married? But that was impossible! Jenna had a terrible reputation! How could Elias possibly agree to marry her?Despite knowing that, Ivy simply couldn't seem to shake the inexplicable sense of unease within her. In just half an hour, she'd copied the experimental data wrong more than a dozen times.She hurried to check my social media, only to find that I'd already blocked her. When she called again, it went unanswered.Left with no other choice, she could only check Jenna's social media page instead. But the first thing she saw was a glaring post that said, "We're Married!"The post showed the wedding decorations and invitation details, all clearly stating that the wedding was that day.Unable to wait unt

Chapter 6

Elias' POVRecognizing Ivy's voice, I calmly replied from behind the wheel of the wedding car, "What is it?"Ivy, who was always so composed and level-headed, was now frantic with anxiety. She demanded, "You haven't been back to our apartment in Grayfield this whole time? Where are you, Eli? "Are you really getting married? But I went to Jenna's wedding, and you weren't the groom! Elias Ashford, who exactly are you marrying?""Who I marry has nothing to do with you."Ivy's anger was instantly doused by those words. "Eli, even if you feel wronged because I didn't make our relationship public, you can't treat marriage like a joke and marry someone you met just half a month ago!"As she spoke, her voice began to tremble slightly. "We've been together for five years! Are we really breaking up just because I never made our relationship public?"Listening to her reproachful and admonishing tone, I couldn't help but scoff. "So? Who are you to me? What gives you the right to question m

Chapter 7

Elias' POVMy wife, Elodie Whitmore, stood in front of me, eyeing Ivy with unmistakable wariness."Ms. Bennett, I've seen you at an academic conference before. I know you're Eli's colleague, but Eli and I are getting married today. "So if you're here to celebrate us, you're more than welcome. But if you're not, please leave immediately."With just a single statement, Elodie had reduced my relationship with Ivy to that of ordinary colleagues.When Ivy heard that, her face grew even paler. However, she couldn't find the words to refute it.Besides my family and friends, a few of my former colleagues were also present at the wedding. They had all heard, to some extent, about how Ivy had publicly distanced herself from me at the lab not long ago. Seeing her show up today was stunning enough as it was. Aware of the eyes on her, Ivy stopped in her tracks. She hesitated, unable to bring herself to take another step forward. In the end, she could only watch as Elodie and I proce

Chapter 8

Elias' POVAs it turned out, it was quite the coincidence. That day, I accepted the blind date invitation and went to the rooftop restaurant as promised. It wasn't until I arrived that I realized Elodie was the one sitting across from me.Seeing the shock and confusion on my face, she broke into a smile. "Elias! I knew you wouldn't recognize me! I even posted pictures of myself from when I was a kid on my social media, but you still didn't figure it out!"Only then did I realize that the blind date Aliya had set me up with was Elodie, my neighbor from when I was still a child.She told me she'd been asking around about me for a long time. Then, some time ago, she finally heard news about me and kept pestering our mutual friends to introduce us. But I'd turned her down again and again, and it wasn't until yesterday that we finally added each other as friends on social media. Looking at Elodie, memories of our childhood suddenly came flooding back. We had been neighbors f

Chapter 9

Elias' POVThroughout the wedding, Ivy kept looking in my direction. I stood there dressed in a sharp suit.I should have been her partner, the person she would spend her life with, but she had been the one to lose me.Unable to watch anymore, she stumbled out of the wedding venue.Ivy looked at her phone and saw the messages I'd sent her before—funny videos, pictures of stray cats I'd come across, photos of delicious-looking food, and even a heart-shaped cloud I'd spotted in the sky.She scrolled through them with tears streaming down her face.I had clearly cared about her so much before. She didn't understand why I had suddenly decided I didn't want her anymore, or why I wasn't even willing to give her a chance to make things right.Then, she scrolled down and saw that she'd almost never replied to any of those messages. Even when I'd sent her long messages telling her that I was being pressured to settle down, she'd only replied, "Didn't I tell you from the start that we wer

Chapter 10

Elias' POVMatthew said, "Before I went abroad, you promised you'd wait for me to come back, but then you went and spent five years with Elias! "Am I not allowed to say anything about that? Ivy, you used to like me! Besides, didn't you take my side that day, too?"Matthew reached out to pull Ivy into his arms. "Elias is already married. Stop thinking about him."Matthew was about to say more, but Ivy tore herself out of his arms.Her eyes were red as she yelled, "Matthew! I only let you stay here out of friendship! You were the one who asked me to confess, and you said it was only an act for your family so they'd stop hounding you to get married!"You even promised to delete all the recordings from that day! But it turns out this was all a trap you deliberately set for Eli!"She packed up Matthew's things and threw them out. "Go find somewhere else to live."Seeing how resolute Ivy is, Matthew presses his lips together. He could tell that she wasn't going to listen to any more
