My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 51

It was always a pleasure to chat with someone who understands you.

For that whole night, Whitney let herself drown in that pleasure and drank away.

In Dellmoor, William was very strict with her.

Their family rule stated that she could enjoy as much as she wanted with her friends but must be home

by 11 o’clock every day.

Now, in Norham, Whitney was free to do whatever she wanted as no one would be there to govern her.

Plus, Whitney thought of Ivy as her friend.

Hence, she was even more reckless, and her whole state was super relaxed.

Ivy lowered her eyes and looked at Whitney, who had fallen over in a drunken stupor.

She tapped Whitney hard with the wine glass. As her scarlet lips parted slightly, she softly called,

“Whitney.”

Whitney was drunk and unconscious.

She showed no reaction at all.

Over the years, Ivy had learned that she must strive for what she wanted.

She was not like the other girls.

Many girls liked to watch a romantic drama series from which they fantasized about their Prince

Charming.

However, she had always been particularly interested in the imperial court drama series. Perhaps

because she had been so immersed in them, she picked up some skills in a specialized area.

All night, Ivy was scheming.

As things stood, Whitney had come to regard Ivy as one of her best friends.

However, Ivy felt that this was not enough for her to achieve her goal.

If you wanted someone to remain useful to you, you had to grasp the other’s weakness.

Ivy took out her phone and dialed an unfamiliar number saved without a name.

“Come to Blue Dusk now. She definitely fits your taste.”

She calculated the time and called Christopher. “Christopher, I’m in Blue Dusk. A friend I haven’t seen

for many years only arrived in Norham today. We met to catch up- on old times and lost track of time.

It’s so late now. I don’t want to return to the Levine

Manor for fear of disturbing others‘ resting.”

She was not afraid of disturbing the Levine family‘ resting but more worried that if she returned late, the

image she had created of a virtuous woman would shatter.

Ten minutes later, Ivy received a message. “We’re here.”

When Ivy got the message, she took a picture of Whitney and sent it to the person.

She also got up and was ready to leave.

She didn’t want to end up in trouble.

‘Since I have paid for it, those people will naturally get things done.

‘It’s industry policy!

According to Ivy’s calculation, Christopher was almost there, too.

Christopher was slightly surprised to hear from Ivy.

At that time, he was in Osimor Residence, the mansion where he had stayed with Katherine, getting Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

ready for bed.

When he got to the door of the bar, Ivy was already waiting there..

She deliberately pretended she didn’t have a place to return to win Christopher’s sympathy.

As soon as she got into the car, her eyes were misty.

When Christopher saw her like this, he was slightly dazed.

People really do change.

“When the fire had broken out, she had been so young, yet she had calmly led us out of there.

“However, now, she’s so frail.

“With the way she looks now, if I said anything to blame her, I’m afraid that she will burst into tears.

11:18 Wed, 24 Jan G.

“Things with Christopher are different from the Levine family.

I’m afraid of the Levine family finding out about my late–night return, but with Christopher, I actually

want to hear his reproach.

‘Well, at least that means he cares about me.”

She sat in the passenger seat, turned her head, and looked at Christopher. Then, she spoke

remorsefully and aggrievedly as if she were a child who had done something wrong. “Christopher, I’m

sorry to bother you so late. You know that I don’t have many friends in Norham either. I don’t know who

else to call except you. I was afraid of disturbing Grandpa Maxwell and Grandma Lilian resting, but I

don’t dare to stay in a hotel,” she said emotionally, tears streaming down her face.

No man would be indifferent to seeing a girl like this.

Christopher glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, took out two tissues casually, and handed them

over. Then, he continued to look straight ahead.

“You don’t have to explain it to me, nor do you need to say sorry to me. Don’t worry. Grandpa Maxwell

and Grandma Lilian usually go to bed early. They are usually deep asleep when they go to bed, so they

won’t be that easily disturbed by you,” said Christopher.

To

put

it bluntly, Christopher wasn’t prepared to take her back to Osimor Residence.

As if he had guessed her mind, he said indifferently, “I’ll take you home. If Grandpa Maxwell and

Grandma Lilian ask about it tomorrow, just say you went out with me to meet my friends.”

Ivy turned pale at Christopher’s words.

She didn’t expect that her thoughts would be seen through by Christopher.

“Would he think that I am a scheming woman?”

Soon, she had readjusted her emotional state. ‘Since he has seen through it, why don’t I take

advantage of the situation?”

“I don’t want to go back to the Levine manor tonight. Grandpa Maxwell and Grandma Lilian are so kind

to me, and I don’t want them to misunderstand that I am a frivolous woman. So, can I stay at your

house for the night?” asked Ivy cautiously as she bit her lip.

Christopher suddenly felt uncomfortable and frowned.

He thought, ‘But on second thought, it doesn’t seem too much.

‘She is my savior.

‘I have always spoiled her as if she were my sister.

‘But why did I feel so disturbed when she asked me about staying in Osimor Residence?

“Now that she has said such words, it would be rude for me to refuse anymore.

‘If I refused again, she would probably cry herself to sleep tonight.

‘And if she decides to tell on me to Grandpa Maxwell and Grandma Lilian, then wouldn’t I suffer a

double loss?‘

He then siad, “Okay, you can stay in Osimor Residence tonight.”

Ivy was secretly delighted. ‘It seems like my performance on the way was not in vain.

‘I have yet to see what Osimor Residence looks like.

‘It’s not a very high–end house.

‘But it’s Christopher and Katherine’s house.

‘If I can move into that place, it will mean a good sign for our future.

‘Even if I can only be the lady of the house for one night, it is definitely something enjoyable.

Christopher called George in advance and told him to prepare a guest room.

At Osimor Residence, George led Ivy to the guest room and instructed her not to go into the master

bedroom on the front of the east side.

Ivy was a little curious and asked, “Why? Is there any special taboo in that room?”

George saw that the young lady in front of him was brought back personally by Christopher, so he

realized they had a close relationship.

Because Christopher had never brought any other woman here before except Katherine.

George patiently replied, “That’s Mrs. Levine’s room. After she left, Mr. Levine didn’t want everyone to

be simply going in and out of that room.”

Ivy got important clues from George’s reply.

That was Katherine’s room.

That was to say, they had been married for two years, but they stayed in separate

rooms.

In other words, they were nominally married and had never had a good relationship.

Ivy was so happy when she thought of this that she even wanted to laugh out loud. Suddenly, she

realized George was still standing at the side.

She immediately readjusted her expression to show that she was well–educated and sensible. She

thanked George and apologized for interrupting his rest by coming so late. at night.
