Chapter 200: Chapter 200: So Sweet It Hurts
"You... you should loosen your grip a bit..."
She bashfully pushed him away.
But Sebastian Blackwood pulled her tighter into his arms, "No way."
Ever since their new marriage, she’s been so obedient, it was endearing.
"Tomorrow, you have a union meeting?"
The man suddenly asked, Ivy Kensington froze for a moment, how did he know?
"Ethan Ford will be there too."
He knows even that?
Ivy was shocked, puffing her cheeks as she looked at him: "Have you been stalking me?"
"How could I not know what’s happening around you?"
Sebastian replied lazily, "Stay away from anyone named Ford. Remember, you’re my woman."
How domineering and assertive those words were.
Ivy found it somewhat amusing, "Got it."
Having said that, she quickly cupped his face and gave him a peck.
Just as she was about to escape, Sebastian stretched his arms and pulled her underneath him.
"You started the fire, now you have to put it out."
"Mmm..."
Ivy protested a little, but it ended in a soft moan.
...
The next day, the union meeting officially began.
The venue was a Japanese restaurant, with a very relaxed and leisurely atmosphere.
Strangely, Chloe Ford hadn’t shown up today.
She was always inseparable from Master Gard before.
A bit puzzled, Ivy asked, "Professor, isn’t Chloe Ford coming tonight?"
Master Gard chuckled, "That girl asked for leave today, said she wasn’t feeling well."
Ivy acknowledged, not being very familiar with Chloe, she had just asked in passing.
At this moment, Rhiannon Zane approached.
As she passed by Ivy, she whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Ivy, tonight I’m going to reveal your true colors in front of everyone."
Ivy: "...?" What is she talking about?
Rhiannon snorted through her nose and without another glance, went directly into the Japanese restaurant.
Ivy didn’t know what she was up to and simply ignored her, walking in with Master Gard.
In the restaurant.
Ethan Ford was already there. Seeing Ivy come in, he waved her over: "I’ve got a seat, come sit with me."
Instantly, everyone’s eyes turned to Ivy.
They actually know each other?
Feeling slightly uncomfortable under everyone’s gaze, Ivy smiled at Ethan and sat down next to another colleague.
"I’ll sit here, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ford."
Not just because of the curious looks from others, but recalling how jealous Sebastian was last night, punishing her for being around Ethan, it sent chills down her spine.
Rhiannon sat just one seat over from Ivy, and upon entering, her eyes were glued to Ethan.
This man, he’s truly charming!
But why is he being so attentive to Ivy?
Blame it on Ivy, who seduces people despite being married... going around looking for men...
Rhiannon bit her lip, clenching her teacup.
Just wait, soon everyone will see how shameless she is...
Ivy had never had Japanese cuisine before, and she felt quite awkward throughout the meal.
It seemed Ethan had noticed her discomfort, and he signaled for a waiter to come over: "Bring some century egg and lean meat porridge."
"Mr. Ford, do you like century egg and lean meat porridge?"
Rhiannon, sitting close to Ethan, heard this and asked on purpose.
Ethan glanced at Ivy and replied, "I suppose so."
Rhiannon said, "What a coincidence, I like it too."
Soon after.
The porridge was brought in, placed in front of Ethan.
Rhiannon, trying to cozy up, said, "Mr. Ford, would there be a chance to share this porridge with you?"
After speaking, Rhiannon looked shyly at Ethan.
This coy demeanor might have worked on others, but Ethan directly pushed the porridge in front of Ivy.
"It’s for you, go ahead and eat."
