52: Chapter 52: Saw Ivy River!
52 -52: Saw Ivy River!
Madeline Woods was instantly embarrassed, realizing no one remembered who she was.
She quickly made something up, “I was your college classmate!”
Ivy River frowned, “I never went to college.”
Madeline’s face turned red instantly, she awkwardly continued, “Then it must have been high school, anyway, I saw you at school.”
Ivy’s eyes grew cold, just as she was about to say something, a male voice came from the side.
“Are you Madeline Woods?”
Madeline quickly turned with a bright smile, “Yes, yes, you must be President Harper, am I late?”
“No, actually I just arrived.”
Jason Harper smiled and looked up to see Gale Wiles, startled, “President Wiles?
What brings you to Seaton!”
Gale Wiles lifted his gaze, “To see the children.”
Children?
Just then, a child’s voice came from behind, “Auntie, could you please move aside?
You’re blocking the way.”
Madeline instinctively stepped aside as Fatty pulled Emmy back to their seats and sat properly.
Pointing to the newly served pigeon soup, “I want to drink this!”
Gale Wiles gently stood up to serve some soup, “Emmy, do you want some?”
“Yes, I do!”
Jason Harper cluelessly spoke, “President Wiles?
When did you have children?”
Hearing this, Gale Wiles furrowed his brows, his voice displeased, “President Harper, you’re overstepping.”
Jason Harper chuckled awkwardly, checking himself for anything of worth, only finding a watch and a ring.
He quickly took them off, handing them over to Fatty and Emmy.
“I didn’t know you had kids before, sorry for not preparing gifts for the first meeting.”
Fatty and Emmy hurriedly waved their hands.
Emmy cutely spoke, “Uncle, we shouldn’t take your things.
Mommy would be unhappy knowing we took things from strangers, no no!”
Fatty glanced dismissively, “This ring isn’t as good as the one my Great-Grandma gave me, I don’t want it.”
Jason Harper felt a bit embarrassed and instinctively looked at Gale Wiles, “President Wiles, this…”
Gale Wiles lowered his gaze, “Leave the things and you may leave.”
Jason Harper quickly agreed, “Oh, oh, okay, I’ll leave now.”
Madeline stood frozen in place, unable to process the news.
Ivy River had children, she actually had children!
Jason Harper noticed halfway that Madeline wasn’t following, so he turned around and grabbed her away.
Madeline urgently shouted, “Who is your father?
How old are you?”
Gale Wiles’ gaze darkened, anger spreading in his chest, he looked up at Madeline.
“President Harper, keep your people in check.”
Terrified, Jason Harper nodded in agreement, “Yes, yes, President Wiles, you continue eating, I’ll take her away now.”
He dragged Madeline out, scolding, “Madeline, get out!”
Madeline finally reacted, “President Harper, no, please, give me another chance.”
Ivy River watched the direction they left with a smile, her thoughts unreadable.
Madeline Woods?
A good name, but she couldn’t recall who Madeline was.
Knowing her was fine, but lying to deceive her was a big problem.
Immediately asking if she had remarried and wanting to know about her children.
Indeed, quite interesting.
“Mommy?” Fatty lightly patted Ivy River’s hand, disdainfully picking up the ring, “What about this?”
Ivy returned to her senses, “Ask your uncle.”
Gale Wiles spoke nonchalantly, “Keep it if they gave it to you; this ring is worth some money.
That guy was Harvest’s young master, maybe trying to establish some connection.”
“Better return it, don’t want you accepting favors for our sake, Uncle.”
Gale Wiles laughed in spite of himself, looking at Fatty, “So perceptive for your age, knowing about favors, Fatty.”
Fatty proudly said, “Of course.”
“Keep it since they gave it, no such thing as accepting favors,” Gale Wiles said coldly, “Earlier, you mentioned Great-Grandma, who is that?”
Ivy hadn’t had a chance to speak before Fatty answered, “It’s Great-Grandma, what’s wrong?”
Gale Wiles frowned.
In his memory, Ivy River had no grandmother.
Ivy softly said, “It’s from the Blake Family.”
Hearing this, Gale looked at Ivy’s neck and let out a sardonic laugh.
His voice filled with sarcasm, “So, Ivy River, are you considering sending the two of them to Edwin Blake?”
“Gale Wiles, Grandma Blake treated me well, I took the children there to ask her to protect Fatty and Emmy.”
Gale Wiles stared into Ivy’s eyes, his tone cold, “Is that so?”
Ivy closed her eyes to take a deep breath.
Endure!
She patiently explained, “Edwin Blake knows about Fatty and Emmy now, I had no choice but to resort to this.”
Gale Wiles’ eyes were extremely cold, he spoke indifferently, “No need to explain to me, you never listen to me anyway.”
Ivy River said calmly, “I know what you think, not returning to Riverland is because Fatty and Emmy just started school, they’ve finally adapted to the environment, transferring wouldn’t be good for them.”
Gale Wiles’ fingers clenched slightly around his chopsticks, “Don’t spew such grandiose nonsense!”
“Uncle, why are you and Mommy arguing?” Emmy asked curiously.
This somewhat eased the situation for Ivy River.
“Nothing, Emmy, quickly eat, Uncle and Mommy are just talking.”
Gale Wiles glanced at Ivy, “Let’s eat, I don’t want to talk about this in front of the kids.”
Ivy muttered softly, “You want to talk to me, but I don’t want to talk to you.”
Gale shot her a glance but said nothing further.
The meal was eaten in extreme silence, Fatty and Emmy kept quiet, not wanting to stir trouble.
…
“Isla, where are you?”
Isla Sutton was lying at home, getting her nails done, the phone was on speaker.
“Getting a manicure, what’s up?”
Madeline Woods spoke mysteriously, “Guess who I just ran into?”
Isla responded bored, “Who?”
“Ivy River!
She’s back in the country!”
Isla instantly turned off speaker mode, coldly addressing the manicurist, “You step out.”
Once the manicurist left, Isla spoke coldly, “Where did you see her?”
“At a restaurant, I’m telling you, Ivy River isn’t the main point, the main point is she has kids, and she’s remarried!”
Isla’s face turned dark, “Remarried?”
Madeline quickly shared the gossip, “Yes, I saw Ivy River with a man, and I’ve inquired about that man, he’s Gale Wiles from Riverland City, have you heard of him?”
“I know, but is the remarriage true?”
“Definitely true, remarried and had kids, and two of them!”
Isla sneered, “Alright, anything else?”
Madeline hesitated, “What I’m really scared of is if the incident from five years ago gets exposed, now that life is finally a bit easier, what do you think?”
“As long as you keep quiet, I can ensure you live comfortably, keep your mouth shut.”
A hint of displeasure crossed Isla Sutton’s face.
No one will stop her from becoming Mrs.
Blake!
