Billionaire's Unforgettable Ex-Wife-Chapter 894 - 559: Arranging a Blind Date
The final good news came from Dad. That day after work, Dad, who rarely drank, asked Mom to open a bottle of wine.
Mom was a bit puzzled: "Are we having guests over?"
"What guests, I’m just happy today. That guy named Wu has been brought down."
Paisley Golden was delighted: "Really? So soon?"
"Since the country is determined to beat corruption, it’s bound to be a major effort. This serious violation of discipline was bound to be discovered sooner or later.
It’s just that his case was connected to several other officials, so it was delayed for a while.
This time, Anchester’s political scene has really seen a big cleanup.
Tonight, I need to have a few drinks with my daughter."
Hearing Dad say this, Ivy Miller nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, we should drink a few more cups.
Dad, I feel quite relieved in my heart too."
"I’m allowing you to drink not because you feel relieved.
It’s because your evidence provided a lot of convenience for the disciplinary units.
I feel so proud of the daughter I raised, so I want to have a few drinks with you."
Ivy rolled her eyes at Dad: "You wouldn’t feel satisfied unless you say that, would you?"
Paisley couldn’t help but laugh: "Alright, you two father and daughter stop talking nonsense, I’ll prepare some snacks to go with the wine."
After she headed to the kitchen, Russell Miller asked Ivy: "Do you know about Twilight Group’s announcement of bankruptcy?"
"I didn’t know," Ivy shook her head. "Henry hasn’t come to me for some time, and I haven’t called him. Dad, are you sure about this news?"
"This kind of news would be broadcasted. Don’t you watch the news daily?"
Ivy stuck out her tongue: "I do watch the news often, but I haven’t been paying much attention lately; I’ve been busy taking care of Cynthia Sullivan, she’s quite clingy now."
"Nonsense, Cynthia’s such a good kid, much more affectionate than you were as a child."
Ivy rubbed her temples with some helplessness: "I’m definitely your biological child and Mom’s, right."
"Of course, there’s no way that could be false."
Ivy chuckled; it shouldn’t be false, but the tone when she talked to Mom... was completely fake.
"Alright, no more nonsense. When you have time, give your father-in-law a call.
After all, you once shared a father-daughter bond; even though you’re divorced from Henry now, you shouldn’t really stay estranged forever.
Show the magnanimity of our Miller family, don’t let people say we’re laughing at others."
Ivy pouted; she was indeed laughing at Nathan Rhodes, not really at her father-in-law.
"Okay, I’ll call after dinner, don’t worry."
Russell nodded, then went to play with Ivy.
Paisley prepared the dishes, and the family gathered around the table to eat.
Russell and Ivy drank together, while Paisley was responsible for feeding the child.
Father and daughter were quite happy, Ivy’s face turned a rosy red from drinking.
After drinking, she obediently took her phone to the door to call her father-in-law.
Now that the in-laws were divorced, Ivy held no grudge against the Sullivan family.
She chatted with Damian Sullivan for quite a while and also inquired about her mother-in-law’s current situation.
"After your mom and I divorced, I originally thought that since the Sullivan family went bankrupt, I’d just move out.
But I’m still worried about your mother-in-law’s current situation.
She seems fine usually, but cries whenever she sees the news.
Ivy, your mother-in-law is actually just too stubborn.
Apart from this stubbornness, she hasn’t done anything really wrong.
Before, your mother-in-law did betray you.
But now, Henry also collapsed Twilight Group, and your mom’s spirit is broken.
I’m thinking, can’t we just let this go as past, and you don’t hold onto your mom’s mistakes anymore."
Ivy smiled: "Dad, I’m not that petty.
I know Henry hated my mom for driving me away.
At the time, I actually felt satisfied seeing Twilight Group collapse.
But during dinner, my dad told me something that made me reflect.
After all, we were once a family, being a family is a kind of blessing.
Back then, I was too stubborn, which was also a problem.
Even now, I probably still wouldn’t change myself to cater to Director Rhodes.
But I shouldn’t have looked on with a sense of excitement waiting for Twilight Group’s downfall.
You were once my elders; I want to apologize to you, and in the future... please take care, both you and Director Rhodes."
Damian nodded and smiled: "I haven’t felt as light-hearted as I have these past few days for years, Ivy, I understand your feelings, so you don’t need to keep apologizing.
Your dad, I understand him; he truly considers me a brother, hence using kindness to repay resentment.
Alright, I won’t say anything else; from now on, we’re still father and daughter, and if you need something that Dad can help with, I’ll do my best."
Ivy felt much relieved, nodded, and after hanging up the phone, she suddenly had an epiphany that humans are bound by fate.
Henry Sullivan’s career transfer application wasn’t approved, as he was a technical expert in the army, suddenly making such a demand was a bit abrupt, so several leaders from the army approached him for talks.
Even a senior officer thought of asking Ivy Miller’s father to help persuade him for the sake of talent retention.
Russell Miller received such a task and naturally couldn’t refuse it; he had to agree even if reluctantly.
Since no one knew about Henry Sullivan’s divorce from his daughter.
On Sunday, Russell called Henry to invite him over for dinner.
Paisley wasn’t aware of this and thought that her daughter had been single for a while.
She’s still young; she should find a good family to marry into, so she secretly planned an arrangement for her daughter to meet someone.
Coincidentally, it was the same Sunday, and she invited the nephew of an old professor over for dinner.
On Sunday morning, Russell initially planned to tell Paisley to make a few more dishes.
Upon entering the kitchen, he saw Paisley had already prepared several cold dishes.
"Why are you so enthusiastic today, making so many dishes."
"We have guests coming over, shouldn’t I make more dishes?" Paisley said while pushing him out of the kitchen: "Shoo, don’t bother me."
Russell wondered if he had previously mentioned to her about Henry coming over today.
Just as he stepped out of the kitchen, Paisley followed, saw Ivy still in her pajamas, quickly handed Ivy over to Russell, and dragged Ivy into the room, muttering as she walked, "I just don’t get it. How can you, a girl, be so sloppy day in and day out? Can’t you tidy yourself up a bit?"
"Mom, what’s going on? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
"I think you’re perfect everywhere, but you need to doll yourself up today. I invited a guest over, don’t embarrass me."
Ivy chuckled: "Seems like this guest is quite important to Mom, alright, I’ll freshen up.
But you should’ve told me earlier; if you did, I would’ve been ready."
