Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Ivy Kensington’s Tryst with Ethan Ford
"Are you free?"
It turned out to be the elderly man she helped earlier today.
Ivy Kensington wiped her tears, calmed herself, and said, "Hello, what’s the matter?"
"I... I’m lost and don’t know how to get back, can you help me..."
The elderly man’s voice was full of helplessness.
Ivy looked at the weather; she couldn’t bear to refuse. Such heavy rain, and the elderly man was unfamiliar with the area, it wasn’t easy...
"Okay."
After agreeing, Ivy asked for his location and called the police before heading over.
The elderly man got lost on a small road far from the city center. By the time Ivy arrived, the police were almost there.
"Where is your family?"
Ivy held the umbrella, covering the elderly man with it.
Master Gard was moved to tears.
Oh, at this old age, someone is still genuinely kind to him... Chloe Ford, that unruly girl, wasn’t as considerate; when he called her, she didn’t even answer.
"My daughter is coming soon, thank you."
Master Gard looked at Ivy with eyes full of joy and then took out a packaged dried flower from his pocket.
Ivy’s eyes widened suddenly. Wasn’t this cedar? And preserved so well, its value in the herb market reached seven figures! How did this elderly man have it?
Master Gard said, "This is my gift to you. Isn’t there a mentorship competition in a few days? You can use this."
Ivy shook her head. She had just casually helped the elderly man; how could she accept something so valuable?
"Sir, keep it well yourself. This herb is very valuable; don’t take it out casually, or it might attract unwanted attention."
As Ivy was speaking, she saw a woman approaching with the police.
It was probably the elderly man’s child, so she said, "Since you’re fine now, I’ll be on my way."
She handed the umbrella to Master Gard and left with another umbrella.
Chloe Ford rushed over and saw Gard wiping his tears as he looked at Ivy’s back.
"Teacher, what’s wrong with you?"
The mischievous old man had wandered off and gotten lost, and now he was secretly wiping tears?
Chloe Ford was utterly astonished.
Master Gard sighed and said excitedly, "Chloe, you don’t understand. My future apprentice has appeared!"
He had already secretly slipped the cedar into Ivy Kensington’s pocket. At the mentorship competition, as long as Ivy used the cedar, he would surely recognize it!
This girl was destined to be his apprentice!
Master Gard let out a relieved breath; this trip to Veridia hadn’t been without gains...
Meanwhile.
Ivy walked with an umbrella toward the bus station.
The rain was too heavy when a Bentley pulled over.
"Ivy?"
It was Ethan Ford.
Ethan Ford saw she was drenched and quickly got out of the car, "It’s so late, why are you here alone?"
Ivy hadn’t expected to see him here; surprised for a couple of seconds, she replied, "I came for something, what about you?"
Upon hearing this, Ethan’s eyes squinted slightly.
Chloe Ford was his sister; he came to pick up her and Master Gard, but unexpectedly encountered Ivy.
"Ding—"
Coincidently, Chloe sent him a message: [Brother, I’ve picked up the teacher; you don’t need to come over.]
Glancing at it, Ethan put the phone in his pocket and saw Ivy shivering from the rain. Without thinking, he took off his coat and wrapped it around her tightly.
"The rain is so heavy; get in the car first."
He said, pulling Ivy toward the car.
Ivy felt a bit uneasy, but with the heavy rain and waiting for a long time without seeing a car, she thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Ford."
Without noticing, not far away on the street side, a black Maybach was parked.
Sebastian Blackwood gripped the Peace Locket tightly, the smile on his lips cold and unforgiving.
Ha!
So this woman came out late at night just to rendezvous with Ethan Ford!
