Chapter 250: 231、Owe you the wedding night

Alya Larson’s words struck Ivy Aretha’s eardrums one by one, each one piercing her heart. Even with her usual strong psychological quality and calm demeanor, she was left speechless for a moment.

Ivy’s expression remained composed, but only she knew how powerless she felt at that moment. This sense of powerlessness even made her afraid to stand up and leave, fearing that she would fall as soon as she stood.

"After hearing all this, does Mrs. Gordon still dare to brag about having her husband’s favor and love to enjoy?" Alya seemed quite satisfied with Ivy’s reaction. "So, Mrs. Gordon, don’t be too sure about some things. After all, how much love can you expect from a man whose memory isn’t even complete?"

Indeed!

After hearing so much, Ivy felt that the most pleasant thing Alya had said was that last sentence. How much love could she expect from a man with an incomplete memory?

Perhaps after returning from the Gordon family, he would be a completely different person.

And when he goes back, he won’t come back!

Setting aside love for a moment, how could a few months of intimacy between a man and a woman compare to the bond of family and the honor of their household? As she thought about this, Ivy’s heart began to ache as well. For the first time, she discovered that her heart could ache - all because of a man she might lose!

Despite this, Ivy still tried to maintain her composure: "I am aware of what you’ve said, and I will ask Michael Gordon. In my world, life is always sweet and there’s no room for grudges or hatred!"

But why did it all have to happen to her?

Ivy didn’t say the rest out loud, but she spoke to herself.

"Whether it’s sweet or not, Ivy, we’ll just have to wait and see."

After saying that, Alya stood up and left. Her flamboyant attitude was like that of a proud princess who had just won a battle. For the first time in history, Ivy tasted defeat, all because of information she couldn’t accept.

Luna Cooper?

Her mother?

She had lost her memory, and it was patchy at best. Her memories were frozen at the car accident, along with the figure of a young man she called ’brother’. There was nothing beyond that. Perhaps she was too young at the time, and even without losing her memory, she wouldn’t have remembered.

Ivy tried to recall every memory she could from the car accident. In a daze, she heard her father’s voice calling out for her mother, calling her Emma.

Emma?

The two characters slowly appeared in Ivy’s mind, and then slowly enlarged. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in her mind, and one name led to another.

Her mother was named Emma Stones, and her father was named David Aretha.

Aretha family!

Andara Ancient Town?

There was nothing more Ivy could remember.

After a moment, she remembered someone, and immediately picked up her phone and called him. Soon, a voice came from the other side: "Ivy, is there anything you need?"

The sound of waves could be heard on the other end: "Brother, are you outside?"

"Yeah, I’m in Hagan. I found out Lina Miller bought a plane ticket here, so I came over to check it out!"

Ivy decided to ask about his situation first: "Brother, have you found Lina?"

"Not yet. No one has seen her. I don’t know where she went!" With that, Mario Jensen asked subconsciously, "Ivy, do you have something to ask me?"

Ever since she found out that he had confessed his feelings to her, the girl seemed to avoid him, never initiating phone calls. She and Michael Gordon had registered their marriage without telling him. She must have a reason for calling him now.

"It’s nothing serious. I just want to ask if you knew my parents when you visited Andara last time. Is the forest in the ancient town ours?"

As soon as she asked the question, Ivy could feel that the person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment before asking, "Ivy, did something happen?"

Mario Jensen had a feeling that something was off in Ivy’s voice, and the thought of the normally laid-back woman acting out of character made him uneasy.

"Nothing really happened. I just want to know if my father is really David Aretha and my mother is Emma Stones?"

If her mother was indeed Emma Stones, then she should have nothing to do with the woman called Luna Cooper mentioned by Calvin Gordon. It would only be a coincidence that they had similar faces. After all, there were many instances of unrelated people looking alike. For example, Alicia and Natalie Todd, two unrelated girls who looked like twins.

So as long as she confirmed it, there would be no problem. With that thought, Ivy’s heart was lifted once again.

"Yes, your father was David Aretha, the city lord of the thriving Andara City back then. Under his leadership, Andara City was at its peak. Your mother is named Emma Stones, an orphan. However, I later found out some information: Your mother may not actually be an orphan, but the young lady of the Cooper family, Luna Cooper. After your grandparents on your mother’s side died, she changed her identity. It’s possible that the name Emma Stones was used later. I still need to verify this point..."

Ivy couldn’t take in any more of what Mario was saying, her consciousness halted at the words "young lady of the Cooper family, Luna Cooper." So, after all, she happened to run into the love-hate drama that plagued the rest of the world?

After a long silence, Mario asked again, "Did you remember something?"

"Not really. I just remembered that my parents also died in a car accident, so I wanted to ask a few questions!"

Ivy’s heart sank to the depths as she held the trembling phone in her hand. She tried to comfort Mario, "You go ahead and get busy, brother. I hope you find Lina soon and bring her and her children back home."

"Alright, I’ll do my best!" Mario said, about to hang up the phone. But he couldn’t help but remind Ivy, "By the way, Ivy, if you remember anything, you can ask Michael directly. He’s also investigating it. Last time, his people even stole the files I had investigated. With his means and speed, he should have more detailed information than me at this point!"

"Alright, brother, you go ahead and get busy!"

After hanging up the phone, Ivy slumped back onto the cafe sofa, realizing that what Alya had told her was all true.

So that’s why Alya stayed in Allure International even though Michael despised her. She was waiting for the day he would find out the truth and remember the past...

Her confidence came from their past, while Ivy merely stole a little warmth from being with their child. But even before that warmth could turn into happiness, it was shattered!

Earlier, when she left home, he still told her that everything would be alright and that they both had a future. But if the future looked like this, would he still want it? And could she bear it?

She didn’t know if Michael would take her straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau to file for divorce once he returned from the Gordon Mansion. The thought of a possible divorce without even having a wedding ceremony made Ivy feel anxious and panicky.

She even hesitated to go home, staying in the cafe all afternoon until her phone rang, jolting her back to reality as she saw the two characters on the screen: "Husband".
