Chapter 43: 44, The world for two, the pain for three

“Yes!” Zach Gilbert’s angry gaze locked onto her without moving, “She has already agreed to divorce me, and we will be going through the process soon. So, Ivy, don’t waste your time on this blind date. I am the best choice for you!”

Upon hearing this, Boris Hunt, who was sitting across from him, was first shocked and then stunned. Could this be…

“Sir, please do not disturb us while we dine!”

Boris bravely stood up and gestured for Zach to leave. After experiencing a failed marriage, he hadn’t met a suitable woman until today. This woman seemed too good to be true and perhaps out of his league, but because she has a child, her value was lowered, giving him a chance.

With an opportunity before him, how could he let it pass!

Heh, Zach scrutinized Boris up and down before speaking with utter disdain, “What, a toad wanting to eat a swan’s meat?”

Boris, already somewhat insecure, had mustered quite a bit of courage to stand up just now. Hearing Zach’s blatant remark, he was at a loss for words in response.

After all, the woman before him was breathtaking, captivating everyone’s gaze. Although he had a chance, it was still beyond his reach, and he had no idea who she really was.

Boris stiffened his neck and confronted Zach, “Who are you to say this to me? Whether I am a toad or not is up to Ivy!””

“Who am I?” Zach looked at the righteous man before him and chuckled. The curve of his lips carried a strong hint of sarcasm, “I am her ex-boyfriend; as for qualifications…””

Zach paused before continuing, “I am the father of her child; do you think I have the qualifications to speak to you?”

Upon hearing this, Ivy was stunned by the sudden turn of events, her mind blown. She never expected Zach to claim he was the child’s father and ruin her blind date like this.

“No… it’s impossible!” When Boris said this, his voice trembled. He knew that Ivy had a child but didn’t know that the child’s father had no intention of letting her go. If this was true, their relationship was clearly complicated.

“Why is it impossible?” Zach saw that Ivy was still in a daze, and Boris was going from disbelief to disappointment. With an even more determined voice, Zach said, “Back then, I didn’t know she was pregnant and neglected her while pursuing my career. Now I know I was wrong. I’ve divorced my wife and want to chase Ivy again. That’s the whole truth, Mr. Hunt. Do you not believe it, or are you just afraid to believe it?”

Boris stared blankly at Zach, then turned to look at Ivy, “Ivy, is what he said true? Is Mr. Gilbert really the child’s father?”

Zach Gilbert, a successful businessman in Andras City, had transformed himself from an ordinary designer to a company General Manager and leader of the Sanders’ family in just six years. He was married but remained an ideal lover for many women.

If he indeed was are Ivy’s child’s father, there was no chance for him.

“Of course, it’s mine!” Zach smiled and sat down in the seat where little Bianca had previously been sitting, “Otherwise, why would I divorce my wife? Mr. Hunt, be sensible and don’t interfere with me pursuing a beautiful woman. You are no match for me in this matter!”

Boris paid no attention to Zach’s words, but his eyes fixed on Ivy. Ivy’s glare was filled with resentment and anger, as well as a fierce reproach. To Boris’s eyes, this was a sign of truth, and his heart sank into the endless depths of darkness…

“I’m sorry, Mr. Gilbert!” Boris picked up his coat and bolted out of the restaurant.

As Ivy watched Boris’s disappointed figure leave, her lips quivered but didn’t make a sound. After seeing him leave, she turned her gaze to Zach’s handsome face.

“Are you satisfied now?”

“Not really, but you didn’t bother explaining, did you?” Zach stared intently at Ivy, their eyes locked, and his deep gaze swirled with profound emotions. “Your lack of explanation shows that you also don’t want this blind date to be successful, right?”

“I didn’t explain because I didn’t want to ruin anyone else’s life, but it’s not because of you!” Ivy fixed her eyes on him, speaking word by word, “Now that the person I don’t want to ruin is gone, you can get lost too!”

Had it not been to discourage Boris’s affection, she would have blown up at him earlier. This man was truly very shameless.

Ivy’s fierce stare didn’t faze Zach; he just kept looking at her, imprisoning her shoulders with his hands, his eyes penetrating Ivy’s heart, “Ivy, what I said was true. I have decided to divorce Yuri Sanders. So, what I just said was dead serious!”

Heh, divorce? Dead serious?

“Don’t! Mr. Gilbert, karma will catch up to those who use rich ladies and then jump ship. If you’re struck by lightning for this, don’t blame it on me!” Ivy found this man quite ridiculous. Six years ago, she was tainted by someone else, and he despised her, trampling her into the dust without any hesitation. Six years later, she has a child, but he wants to come back.

“Ivy, back then, I was not wise enough and didn’t consider your difficulties. But now, I am much wiser!” Zach forced Ivy to meet his eyes, his hands on her shoulders, “I was wrong, Ivy. Losing you is the pain of my life!”

Heh, the pain of his life? A mere six years had enlightened him to a lifetime?

Suddenly, Ivy stood up from her seat, angrily shaking off the hands that gripped her shoulders. The rage in her voice burst forth, “Since it’s the pain of a lifetime, it has only been six years, Mr. Gilbert; please continue suffering. I won’t accompany you!”

Zach’s face darkened instantly, “Ivy, now that you have a child, it’s hard for you to get married, so…””

“So I should just settle for a used and divorced man like you?” Ivy interrupted him, “I really don’t like the idea of finding a second-hand father for our darling daughter. So, please go as far away as possible!”

Back then, that was precisely what he said to her. He called her a second-hand woman, slept around by others, and unworthy of being Zach Gilbert’s girlfriend.

“Ivy…” Zach’s pride couldn’t take her words, and he roared in anger.

“Tsk tsk tsk, baby, who is this guy? He dares to yell at you!” A lazy voice rang in Ivy’s ears, and in the next moment, she was scooped up into an embrace. “How rude! Does he think you have no one to rely on?”
