The Billionaire Ex-Wife Stormed Back as a Marvelous Divine Doctor
Chapter 304 - 303

Chapter 304: Chapter 303

Ivy River gasped in shock, instinctively stepping back, and watched as she lost her balance and was about to fall to the ground.

Edwin Blake swiftly wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her in his embrace once again.

Startled, Ivy clung to Edwin’s neck out of fear.

The surrounding air suddenly fell silent.

Seeing everyone’s shocked expressions, Ivy quickly pulled away and said irritably, "Edwin Blake, what are you doing!"

Edwin chuckled lightly, feeling quite innocent.

He had merely come to check on the situation, but he hadn’t expected Ivy River to throw herself at him twice.

It was clearly his fault, yet he was still getting scolded...

Ivy glared at him, "Why don’t you leave already, what are you still doing here!"

"I came here to find Alexander Hodges, and after doing a good deed, you’re still here criticizing me?"

Edwin frowned at Alaric Taylor standing behind her, "Alaric Taylor, why are you still here, what are you doing?"

Alaric laughed, "How come President Blake is still here? Ivy and I are going out to eat, is there a problem?"

"I hope you can excuse us for a moment, there are some things you’re not allowed to hear."

Ivy immediately retorted, "We’re all friends here, what’s there to hide, go ahead, it’s fine."

She instinctively felt that Edwin had no good intentions.

Edwin said seriously, "Doctor River, are you sure you want others to know what I’m here to talk to you about?"

"What’s there to not know? It’s not that big of a deal, we’ve already divorced, there’s nothing we need to discuss secretly."

Ivy righteously declared.

Edwin said directly, "Alright then, since you’re not sparing Alaric Taylor any face, I’ll just say it: I told you he’s not a good person, you’re no match for him, why do you insist on opposing me?"

"Edwin Blake, are you a good person? Besides, whether someone is good or not is for Ivy to decide, not you."

Alaric retorted unceremoniously.

"I’m not a good person, but Ivy River has two of my children, which proves I won’t harm her."

"Ha, it’s always wise to be cautious. Who’s to say you won’t harm Ivy and then make off with the kids."

Ivy appropriately interjected, "That won’t happen, President Blake might have another child with Isla Sutton, so my children cause him no substantial harm."

"You’re right, I forgot President Blake has a girlfriend. Since you have a girlfriend now, why are you still talking with Ivy, aren’t you afraid of making her mad?"

Alaric said deliberately.

Sure enough, Edwin’s face turned black in an instant, "What does this have to do with Isla, we’re talking about you two now, why did you return to the country, running into trouble abroad?"

Alaric’s face darkened, "Do I need to report my return to the country? I came back to pursue Ivy, to be honest with you, so what? Do you have a problem with that? If so, just keep it to yourself. You’re already divorced, it’s none of your business anymore."

"Ivy River!" Edwin’s face was extremely dark with rage, and he pulled her over angrily, "When are you going to give me acupuncture, can I tell others about this?"

"If you can, then I can tell others too, it’s not my company facing turmoil. If you need a favor, act like it, understand?"

Ivy’s indifferent expression successfully infuriated Edwin even more.

"Fine, as long as you’re happy, when do you want it?"

Edwin closed his eyes, trying hard to suppress his anger.

"Wait until I get back from eating, or maybe we won’t do it today, I might not have time, it’s already mid-afternoon."

Ivy checked the time and directly declined.

Edwin laughed angrily, "You can go out to eat with him, but can’t give me treatment, huh?"

"Yeah, do you have anything else?"

Edwin didn’t say anything further and turned to leave immediately.

Seeing this, Alexander quickly followed and tried to comfort Edwin, "Bro, don’t be angry. I can tell sister-in-law doesn’t like Alaric Taylor."

"Why are you still in Seaton? Big brother is probably anxious waiting for you, right?"

Edwin found the person in front of him quite annoying.

Alexander said with a grievance, "No way, bro, I’m your most loving brother. I just called big brother, and he said they don’t need me for now and asked me to stay and help you pursue your wife back home."

"The road to winning back your ex-wife is a long one. Sister-in-law isn’t that easy to woo. Right now, I’m probably the only one she’ll talk to willingly, so you should be nicer to me, and also..."

Edwin shot him a cold look, exuding elegance and nobility.

Alexander found this very unpleasant, "And stop giving us that unapproachable look, sister-in-law is a woman, after all, you should be a bit gentler."

"How can I be gentle?" Edwin asked genuinely.

Alexander pondered for a moment, "Treat sister-in-law the way you treat Isla, have some patience, all women respond to that."

Edwin scoffed, "Sorry, but Ivy River isn’t just any woman. She doesn’t fall for that, you still haven’t figured that out?"

"Yeah, sister-in-law is rich and beautiful, her suitors must be plenty. Moreover, she’s currently the champion of the Traditional Chinese Medicine competition, which holds quite a high value domestically. So, with Alaric Taylor around now, you’ll surely see more of them in the future."

Alexander tried to provoke him, to awaken his deep-seated possessiveness.

"Ouch! Why did you kick me!"

Alexander, holding his butt in pain, glared angrily at the culprit.

Edwin glanced at him nonchalantly and then strode off with long steps.

Frustrated, Alexander hurriedly chased after him.

Watching them leave, Ivy couldn’t help but shake her head, "Sorry, I made you watch a joke. Let’s go, I’ll treat you to lunch to make it up."

Alaric waved his hand, "It’s fine, we’re like family, no need to be so formal. Let’s go."

In the restaurant.

Ivy stared at the myriad of dishes on the table, lost in thought.

"How did you know I love these?"

Alaric smiled, "Your brother told me, Gale asked me to keep an eye on your eating habits, saying you’ve become too thin from the recent competition and he hasn’t had time to watch the competition, so he asked me to do it."

Not doubting him, Ivy started eating, "My brother is best at talking big, saying he’s busy when he just doesn’t want to see me, tsk tsk."

Alaric stood up and served Ivy a bowl of rice.

She accepted it and said in passing, "You eat too, don’t worry about me, I can reach everything. Since we’re all on the same side, I can shamelessly dig in."

"Eat up, just be your true self around me, no need for pretense."

Alaric said with a doting smile, still helping her with food.

"Alright."

Just as Alaric was in the middle of serving dishes to Ivy,

the box’s door suddenly opened.

Fatty and Emmy entered, "Mommy, why are you eating alone!"

That’s what they said.

But their little gazes were all locked onto Alaric’s hands serving Ivy food.

The intense stares left Alaric at a loss.
