Chapter 187: 168、His Exorbitantly Priced Wife

A man interested in a woman is really just attracted to her, right? Otherwise, who would be so bored, especially a man like Lucas Sandy, who never does boring things.

"No, I didn’t see her face, just her back. How could she look so much like Mrs. Thompson?" Ivy added, making Lucas’s frown deepen. "Well, I must have seen it wrong!"

Mrs. Thompson would never go back to being a nanny - she belongs in the upper echelons of society!

"There’s really someone else with such a similar back view?!" Lucas couldn’t help but sigh, "Poor Mr. Thompson, he has been wifeless for more than 200 days now!"

Ivy: "..."

"He deserved it!" Michael Gordon narrowed his eyes and gave an answer nonchalantly, "If you like someone, you should treat them well, not torment them. No wonder the woman left!"

Now it was Lucas’s turn to be silent!

Did their Mr. Thompson ever torment his wife?

"Is Mr. Thompson that Oliver Thompson guy?"

Ivy finally understood the conversation between the two men; Lucas was an underling of Oliver Thompson, and the Mrs. Thompson she referred to was Oliver’s wife. However, Oliver had a fierce and sinister demeanor, and didn’t seem like the kind of man who would mistreat women at all!

"So, he tormented his own wife, and she ran away?"

If this is true, Ivy shuddered at the thought. Oliver was Michael’s brother, so Michael wouldn’t be abusive too, would he?

With that thought in mind, Ivy turned to look at Michael, her eyes filled with curiosity and suspicion, clearly saying, ’are you the same?’

"Ahem, Mrs. Gordon, my Mr. Thompson would never harm his wife; he cherishes her too much!" Lucas was rendered speechless by Michael’s words and saw Ivy seemed to believe that Oliver was a demented pervert, "Our first master loves his wife!"

Feeling that this sentence still sounded hollow, he added, "Of course, sometimes it’s necessary to dominate in bed!"

Otherwise, how would their little Crown Prince have come about?

Ivy: "..."

This guy just incriminated himself!

"So after all that explanation, he still tormented his wife?" Ivy looked at the increasingly chaotic Lucas and asked, "What’s the difference between tormenting in bed and outside of bed?"

Lucas felt that it was better to be cautious when talking to Mrs. Gordon. Her way of talking probably just made matters worse for Mr. Thompson’s image!

"Wife, what you said is wrong. In-bed torment can result in a child, but outside of bed, torment only breeds hatred!"

Michael hugged Ivy’s waist, grinning wickedly. Lucas believed that if a man didn’t possess any husband-slave potential like Michael, the wife would probably have run away by now!

"Ahem, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, I’ll be going now. You can be discharged from the hospital anytime!"

Lucas said awkwardly and left.

Ivy mulled over Michael’s words about tormenting under the bed causing hatred, sensing some familiarity. She stared into his eyes thoughtfully, "Did Oliver Thompson drive his wife away by tormenting her? Birds of a feather flock together. Do you have a hidden perverted hobby?"

Nowadays, there are more and more peculiar hobbies, such as wealthy people engaging in more thrilling activities like torture, especially in bed—some even use handcuffs or chains for the thrill.

The thought of such images filled Ivy with horror!

"Perverted hobby?" Mr. Gordon’s face darkened, and his exquisite features twisted together. He nearly spat out the following words, "Ivy, was I not gentle enough last night? Or do you like being stimulated, so my tenderness felt perverted?"

If she remembered correctly, he was just complaining about her being too gentle and their foreplay taking too long last night!

Ivy Aretha: "..."

Was that what she meant?

Also, why did it feel like they had already rolled together when he mentioned that they didn’t do anything last night?

Since the hospital was their own, the dean personally went to handle the discharge procedures, and the speed was fast. Hearing that she could finally be discharged, Ivy’s mood was quite ecstatic!

Speaking of which, this hospital really wasn’t a place for people to stay!

If Michael Gordon hadn’t turned the ward into what it was, she would have had psychological shadows from her two previous hospital stays!

Her parents died in car accidents, her daughter almost lost her life in a car accident, and now she’s in a car accident again!

Did their family have a grudge against car accidents?

Or did she hit someone with her car in her previous life, so now she’s being retributed with car accidents in this life?

Thinking about it, Ivy was startled by her own thoughts. Suddenly, she remembered that before the car accident, Zach Gilbert had come to see her and mentioned Yuri Sanders.

That’s right!

Bianca’s car accident was not accidental but a disaster she brought to her. Yuri was the one who did it, and it was a mess caused by Zach Gilbert!

"Michael Gordon, did you have Yuri Sanders thrown in the police station?"

Thinking of that day’s conversation, Ivy Aretha frowned and asked Michael Gordon. After her stay at the hospital, she accidentally learned that the man had isolated the hospital, presumably to prevent Zach Gilbert from bothering her again.

"Call me hubby!"

Michael Gordon bent down to help her put on her shoes while insisting on her title.

"Michael Gordon, how old are you? You’re still so childish!"

Ivy deeply felt that the term "hubby" was for little women to use when showing affection during their student days when they were dating. They already had a child, was it necessary?

For some reason, Ivy felt that there was a sense of "old married couple" between them.

Damn it! They had just registered, the wedding hadn’t even happened yet, they hadn’t met the in-laws, and the "love" between them could barely be said to be okay. How could she feel like this?

Was it because she’d been raising a child alone for too long that she only knew how to live life and not how to be in love?

"Childish?" Michael Gordon bit these words and looked up to see the woman with an inexplicable horrified expression. She must be imagining his childish performance, "So what if I’m childish? Call me hubby, quickly!"

Calling him hubby is the duty of a wife, and this woman dared to call him childish!

Michael Gordon looked at her with a threatening and naked stare. He even threatened to strip her clothes, "If you don’t call me hubby, I’ll sleep with you right here. Anyway, I was frustrated all night, and now I’m holding back!"

Michael didn’t know why, but without hearing her call him "hubby," his heart felt uneasy, as if everything in front of him was fake!

He’s been deprived of love for too long, right?

Ivy, who was tormented by him, had no choice but to concede, "Hub..." Before the word "hubby" could be uttered, the door of the ward was pushed open.
