Chapter 216: Revised: Chapter 215 Lend Me One to Play With

Ivy River glanced at him, "Three, two..."

She didn’t even finish counting.

Gale Wiles obediently took off his jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves, "I’ll show you, I’ll show you. How can a brother disregard his sister’s filial piety?"

Alaric Taylor smiled but said nothing.

He was noble and detached, elegant and aloof, giving off an unapproachable vibe.

But his eyes were fixed on Ivy River, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Five minutes later.

Ivy River unceremoniously pushed Gale Wiles’ arm aside, "Alright, I covered for you with Dad, you should’ve called him to let him know you were safe, letting the old man worry all afternoon."

Gale Wiles touched his nose, speaking awkwardly, "There are outsiders here, can you give me some face? I am your brother."

Ivy River slumped onto the sofa lazily, "Alaric is not an outsider. Besides, what face do you need?"

Alaric Taylor laughed lightly, "Ivy’s right."

Gale Wiles said, "Sycophant! Don’t flatter my sister in front of me."

Alaric Taylor ignored him and turned to Ivy River, "Why did you suddenly return to China?"

"It’s more suitable for me to research traditional Chinese medicine here. I thought about it and decided to come back with the children."

Ivy River didn’t hide anything.

"Children?" Alaric Taylor asked, shocked, "You have children?"

Ivy River nodded, "They are over four years old now. What about you? How long will you be in the country? I didn’t see you at my dad’s birthday party yesterday."

Alaric Taylor’s thoughts drifted, and he replied absentmindedly, "It was raining heavily in California yesterday, I couldn’t make it back. How did you have children, whose are they?"

Gale Wiles cut in directly, "You don’t need to know whose children they are, just know that they are part of the Wiles Family."

Alaric Taylor immediately understood and subtly changed the topic, "So Ivy, are you planning to stay in Riverland long-term? My focus has also shifted back to China, so we can hang out more often."

"I’m surprised that Uncle Taylor decided to shift his focus back here, not an easy decision. I’ll mainly be based in Seaton, it’s suitable for my work. But I’ll frequently visit Riverland too, it’s not that far away."

Ivy River was quite astonished.

The Taylor Family was also a notable family in Riverland.

Alaric Taylor and Gale Wiles were childhood friends, and their families were very close. Father Taylor and Father Wiles were sworn brothers.

Jonah Wiles was a powerful figure in the country.

While Callum Taylor dominated abroad, wielding influence in both the legitimate and underground worlds...

Their business naturally had some unsavory elements.

Alaric Taylor nodded, "Yes, he’s getting old, can’t keep up that lifestyle anymore. He’s already retired from his past activities and now focuses on import-export projects. Luckily, domestic business has been doing well these past few years, so he’s fully embraced the shift."

"Who’s handling things abroad then?"

"I fly abroad irregularly, but mainly stay here. The main reason, though, is that the old man is getting anxious..."

As soon as Alaric Taylor finished speaking, his phone rang.

He silently placed his phone aside, choosing to ignore it.

Gale Wiles glanced at it and burst out laughing, he swiped to answer and put it on speaker.

"Godfather, it’s me, Gale."

The voice on the other end laughed heartily, "Great, great! I knew you two would be together. Listen up, you should hear what your uncle has to say."

Alaric Taylor held his forehead, looking rather helpless, "Dad, can you not?"

"You brat! If you know what I’m about to say, then hurry up and take action. Stop postponing everything to tomorrow. Does it matter?"

Ivy River could vaguely guess what it was about.

Just as she was about to stop Gale Wiles, she heard him mock, "Does it matter, Alaric? Listen well to your godfather!"

Ivy River kicked Gale Wiles angrily.

Gale Wiles patted his leg, "What’s the matter? You don’t let godfather speak? Can you really ignore the elders?"

Ivy River ignored him, silently pulling out her earphones to listen to music, closing her eyes to rest.

Alaric Taylor spoke solemnly, "Dad, say what you want to say, we’ll both listen."

Callum Taylor said grouchily, "Listen up, I found a lot of great matches recently, all esteemed ladies. Although most aren’t from Riverland, they still suit you both."

Gale Wiles was immediately stunned, crying out in pain, "Godfather, please stop! Why are you and my dad always talking about this? Let things happen naturally."

Callum Taylor swore, "A man is known by the company he keeps! You two together are no good!"

Alaric Taylor sneered, "Dad, go ahead. Since I’m with Gale, I’ll meet them after him. Don’t waste your resources."

"Oh! My son finally showing some promise. Great, great! That’s just what I intended. Gale, I’ll call your dad soon, he’ll be thrilled."

"Godfather, don’t rush. We’ll find someone when the time comes."

Gale Wiles winked at Alaric Taylor.

But he was completely ignored as Alaric Taylor replied seriously, "Dad, go ahead, tell him. My godfather must be anxious as well. It’s a good thing, I’m willing to go on blind dates."

Callum Taylor was about to hang up, "Okay, then I’ll end it here."

Honestly, it wasn’t surprising that Callum Taylor was worried.

Mostly it was because Gale Wiles and Alaric Taylor were both over 30.

They didn’t seek partners or go on blind dates.

Even if young people had their own ideas, being too avant-garde was not good. After all, their family businesses needed heirs.

What’s more, being rich bachelor playboys, and very handsome at that.

Why wouldn’t they have women interested in them?

Obviously, they were unwilling.

"Godfather, don’t call my dad. He should be with the kids now, doesn’t have time for you."

Callum Taylor paused, his voice suddenly rising, "What?!"

Gale Wiles explained, "Ivy brought the kids back, twins, now they’re the joy of the home, surrounded by family, no time to talk to you."

Ivy River heard this and threw her earphones at Gale Wiles.

Damn it!

This got her into trouble!

Callum Taylor asked incredulously, "When did Ivy come back?"

"You left the party early yesterday, later Ivy brought the kids back. A pity you missed that." Gale Wiles’s tone had a hint of regret.

"No wonder the old man didn’t answer my messages! Is she home now? I want to see her. It’s been seven or eight years."

"Ivy!"

Ivy River quickly placed a hand on his waist, her red lips curved upwards.

Gale Wiles immediately changed his tone, "Ivy is probably home, you want to see the kids, seeing her is just incidental, right?"

"Alright then, I’ll send you both the details later. Make sure to meet those I’ve arranged. Now, I’ll contact your dad and borrow one of the kids, so selfish!"

Callum Taylor hung up after saying that.

"Ouch! I covered for you, why pinch me? Ivy River!"

Gale Wiles complained to Ivy River.

Ivy River got up slowly, "Who told you to be so ingratiating. Alaric, I’m heading home. I’ll meet godfather later, it’s been a long time."

"Okay, drive safely, don’t rush."

Alaric Taylor instructed, watching Ivy River leave.

Gale Wiles coldly said, "Come back to reality!"

Alaric Taylor regained his composure, glanced at him, and said nothing, lighting a cigarette.

"Alaric Taylor, let me be straightforward, you and Ivy aren’t suitable."

Alaric Taylor exhaled smoke and nodded, "I know."
