Chapter 155: 136、Forced Marriage March

"So Ivy, you’re saying that in your heart, it’s me, isn’t it?"

Michael Gordon lowered his head, his hands on her face, which was still beautiful despite being wrapped in gauze, gently caressing her. "No, it’s that you like me!"

"Cough, cough!"

Ivy couldn’t stand the burning gaze of the man in front of her, as if he wanted to swallow her whole. She deliberately avoided his eyes and turned away from him, but her face turned unnaturally red.

Without getting any answer, Michael saw Ivy’s shy and charming appearance, but still stubbornly refusing to admit it. His mood suddenly brightened, the corners of his lips lifted with a charming curve. The words of his beloved daughter, "Not allowed in until the marriage certificate is obtained," suddenly filled his mind, and his heart suddenly opened up.

Now that her body was fine and she couldn’t move easily, it was indeed a good opportunity!

"Ivy, I love you. Let’s get married!"

Ivy was startled by his unexpected declaration of love and proposal. She turned her gaze back to Michael, who was staring at her intently.

After a moment of eye contact, Ivy managed to speak through her dry, aching throat, "Is this your proposal?"

Who would propose under such circumstances!

Hearing this, Michael’s eyes sparkled, and he quickly nodded, "Yes, I am proposing. Will you marry me?"

Well, if he put it that way, of course, she would refuse! Just like how she refused the last time. With that thought, Michael quickly cleared his throat and said, "No, I am not proposing. I am forcing you to marry me, so you must marry me!"

Ivy: "..."

Forced marriage?

Why was she stuck lying in bed? Otherwise, she would definitely punch him for bullying her at such a time. Was he even ashamed of himself?

"Michael Gordon, you’re taking advantage of my vulnerability to force me into marriage. Are you even a man?!"

Because she was emotional, Ivy’s voice sounded extremely hoarse. He had just proposed nicely, and then he said he wanted to force her into marriage. How ridiculous!

"Don’t get excited!"

Seeing her red face from coughing, Michael became worried. He quickly fetched water for her, and got a straw so she could sip on it. "Drink some water first, and don’t get agitated. I am definitely a man; otherwise, how would our daughter be born? If you don’t believe me, we can have a son after you’re better, and then you’ll know I’m a man!"

Ivy: "..."

Was that what she meant?

Michael patiently helped Ivy drink water and gently calmed her emotions. In the end, for her sake, he didn’t force her any further. However, he was determined to sort things out before she was discharged from the hospital.

"You two are really something. One is forcing a marriage while the other is playing the victim. This way, you might as well forget about getting married in this lifetime!"

With a mocking tone, the door opened, and a voice accompanied by a push came through. "No, but you two are a match made in heaven. If you don’t have a few more kids, it’ll be a waste of good genes!"

Ivy: "..."

Michael Gordon: "..."

"Oliver Thompson, mind your own business and don’t come here bothering my woman to rest!"

After helping Ivy drink water, Michael got up from the hospital bed and saw the man who walked in and sat on the sofa without a care in the world. He spoke unhappily.

Oliver didn’t pay him any attention; he just looked around the room and then stood up. He walked towards Ivy and said to her, "Can I borrow your man for a few minutes?"

Without waiting for Ivy’s agreement, he directly pulled Michael out of the room.

Ivy: "..."

Was this borrowing?

It was more like stealing!

Wait, was she crazy? Did she subconsciously consider Michael to be her man now?

Ivy was caught off guard by this thought!

Michael had already proposed to her twice. Although there was no ring, no flowers, and perhaps no love, they still had Bianca, their mutual child!

More importantly, there was no one else in her heart at the moment, and it seemed there was no one else in Michael’s heart either. They had already possessed each other’s bodies!

Love might not be there yet, but now their hearts were still clean!

Without love, there was still a little bit of liking. If they got married for the sake of the child, it wouldn’t be a bad idea!

In that moment of life and death, besides her vivid childhood memories, she thought of Bianca — her precious daughter. Only after experiencing a brush with death, did she realize what the most important things in life were!

As long as he was not disgusting, had a good character, feelings could be cultivated!

Let’s give it another test — if Michael showed enough determination for their child, then she would marry him!

"Miss Aretha, Young Master Jensen came to see you!"

After Michael was pulled away by Oliver, he naturally left someone at the door of the ward to guard it. However, he had specifically instructed them that they should refuse all visitors, except for Mario Jensen!

This man loved Ivy, and deeply so. The more Michael knew this, the more determined he became to remove this man from Ivy’s heart!

Although Mario Jensen had saved Ivy at a critical moment, he had also saved Michael’s life. Just for this, Michael gave him the opportunity to compete fairly.

Michael was not a saint and didn’t care about fairness. He was used to being domineering, and his classmates gave way to him. However, he was grateful for Mario’s life-saving grace for Ivy and decided to let go of his pride this once.

However, he also believed that even if it was fair, he would never lose!

"Let him in!"

Hearing it was Mario Jensen, Ivy knew it was Mario Jensen, and was immediately reminded that he had happened to be passing by in his car during her accident, which allowed her to be sent to the hospital and saved her life.

For this reason alone, she should personally thank him!

However, besides that, she also had questions to ask him!

The accident brought back many memories of her past, including fragments she had forgotten before the age of five, and even some familiar figures!

Aside from her parents, there was her older brother. And in connection with what Mario Jensen had said about her parents, Ivy felt she had something to ask him— was the most prominent person in her memory Mario Jensen?

Mario Jensen entered the room impeccably dressed in a suit. He went straight to Ivy’s bedside, bent down, and checked her forehead. His gaze rested on her bandaged head and a soft laugh escaped him: "You’re even stronger than I imagined. Well done!"
