Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Pink Bedsheet
Ivy Kensington made a sound of acknowledgment and walked down.
Sebastian Blackwood’s black Maybach was parked at the entrance. The man wore a lightweight black trench coat, his impressive figure standing in the wind, handsome and noble.
Seeing her appear, he lifted his long leg and quickly walked toward her.
Then he opened his strong arms and embraced her with undeniable insistence.
"Feeling better?"
He asked softly, his tone remarkably gentle.
Ivy leaned against his scorching chest, her eyes filled with a sudden sting.
This Sebastian Blackwood made it impossible for her to say hurtful words or to part ways with him.
With her mind in chaos, Ivy couldn’t utter a single word.
Seeing her silence, Sebastian didn’t press further and just held her, taking her into the car.
The Maybach sped away and finally stopped at Blackwood Manor.
Ivy was cradled in Sebastian’s arms, as the man personally carried her back to the manor.
"Prepare hot water."
As soon as they entered, Sebastian instructed the housekeeper.
Afterwards, he carried her up to the bedroom.
"Be good, take a nice bath and sleep. I’ll handle everything."
He lovingly kissed Ivy’s soft white forehead, placed her down, and guided her into the bedroom.
Ivy looked at him deeply, nodded, "Okay."
Watching her enter the bathroom.
Only then did Sebastian step out of the study.
"Master Blackwood, as per your instructions, we’ve blocked all of Lowell Group’s financial chains."
Owen Rhodes reported over the phone.
With the financial chains blocked, Lowell Group absolutely couldn’t hold on for long.
Our Master Blackwood is determined to go against Lowell Group, to fight for Miss Kensington!
Owen was amazed inwardly, reiterating that he had underestimated Ivy’s importance in Sebastian’s heart...
"Blacklist Lowell Group in all the guilds across various cities."
Sebastian issued another command.
Once the call ended, the man sat on the sofa in the study.
He slowly closed his eyes.
Although issuing the order was easy, its execution was not a simple matter.
If the Blackwood Group sanctioned Lowell Group without a valid reason, it would arouse the speculation and defiance of other groups...
Thinking of this, Sebastian decided to personally investigate, starting a comprehensive investigation into Lowell Group’s current industry chains and partners, including those hidden under the surface.
"Knock knock—"
Suddenly, the study door was knocked.
Ivy peeked her head in, "Won’t you come keep me company? I’m scared."
The woman’s tone was tense, her big, clear eyes staring unblinkingly at him, with a trace of longing.
Sebastian’s deep eyes darkened. The next second, he stood up, turned off the computer, and walked over to her.
Seeing her standing barefoot on the wooden floor, he immediately frowned with displeasure.
"The entire manor has air conditioning on, the floor is cold."
Having said that, he picked her up and cradled her.
Ivy snuggled into his warm embrace, smiling at him ingratiatingly, "Don’t be so stern, it won’t happen again."
In the future, she would never appear before him again.
Ivy thought sadly, but the smile on her face grew even brighter.
Soon, she was carried back to the bedroom.
This bedroom was where they lived when they were married, and the furnishings had not changed much from back then.
It was still the light pink sheets Ivy had chosen back then.
Back then, when she chose this color, Sebastian was particularly unhappy.
As a grown man, why sleep on pink sheets?
But Ivy liked them. If he wouldn’t use these sheets, she wouldn’t sleep in bed.
After a few days of stalemate, Sebastian finally conceded, though he was displeased and secretly angry with Ivy for several days.
Unexpectedly, four years later, even though she was gone, he was still using the sheets he once found displeasing.
Ivy couldn’t help but smile and ask him, "Weren’t you so disdainful back then? Why didn’t you change them?"
