Chapter 287: 267. If your body can’t handle it, I will torment your hands.

After sweetly cuddling for a moment, Michael Gordon sent everyone away, insisting that Ivy needed rest and couldn’t rest well with so many people around.

"Mr. Gordon, let me stay and take care of Ivy. You’ve been tired all day. Go home and rest, and you can come replace me tomorrow!"

How could Michael not understand her intentions?

She wanted to stay here simply because she didn’t want to face Oliver Thompson alone!

"You go back, you were also frightened today. Go home and rest. Just help us take good care of our daughter!"

When Michael finished speaking and saw Oliver’s gaze on Julie Harrison, he couldn’t help but speak again, "Julie, I think Ivy was right about one thing. Some things, since we must face them, we should not avoid them anymore. Avoidance will only deepen the wounds. While the wounds haven’t festered, solve the problems between you two, after all, you have a child together!"

Judging by Oliver’s attitude, divorce seemed unlikely. Since they couldn’t divorce, they could only find a way to live well. Dragging it out like this served no purpose.

Michael’s original intention was for the couple to live well together, but he didn’t expect his words to almost cause a disaster!

After Oliver and Julie left, Ivy, out of curiosity, asked Michael about their story. After listening, she couldn’t help but sigh. It was perhaps the most passionate love story she had ever heard!

After listening, Ivy realized how lucky she was to have met a man who loved her despite the deep hatred between their families.

The warmth in her heart had already replaced the pain from her wounds!

"Ivy!" Michael carefully held her while they were lying on the hospital bed, called her name, and after a long pause, asked, "Will you marry me?"

The sudden question left Ivy a little confused: "Aren’t we already husband and wife?"

They had indeed spent 0.99 on their marriage certificate!

"But I still owe you a wedding!" Michael kissed her soft hair, "When you are discharged, we will take wedding photos, choose a good day to hold the wedding, and then go on our honeymoon!"

Just as these heartfelt words escaped Mr. Gordon, he received a splash of cold water from her.

"Stop messing with nonsense. The company is so busy at the end of the year. If you don’t go to work to tinker with these things, do you want our daughter and me to starve?"

Michael: "..."

Why did she have to hit him like that?

Moreover, even if he didn’t work for a lifetime, he could still support their daughter and her for several generations. How could he bear to let his woman and child starve?

"Ivy, you know what I mean!"

How could he not understand her little thoughts? "My father is my father, and I am me. Don’t think of us as the same kind of person!"

Michael had always been clear about love and hate, hating those who deserved hate and loving those who deserved love.

"Michael, you’ve done very well. This is what our family owes yours. Whatever I do can only make up for it. As long as Bianca isn’t implicated, I don’t mind what I do!" Ivy nestled in his arms, her slender fingers drawing circles on Michael’s chest, speaking in a low, serious tone that revealed her determination.

"We had hatred between us before, but we’ve maintained our current relationship, and I’m already very satisfied. Let alone having a marriage certificate, even if I were to follow you without a name or share for a lifetime, I would accept it!"

Ivy probably never expected that one day, she would say such words. In her worldview, loving her meant giving her everything. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be love. But now, she willingly gave up everything for him.

"Silly girl!" Michael lowered his head and captured her naughty green fingers on his chest, "My aunt is dead, and your mother is not alive either. Let those sorrows be settled between them. Besides, with your stab today, we’re even!"

After all, it wasn’t her fault. A daughter doing so much was enough!

"I promised your father that as long as I don’t die, I won’t step into the Gordon family’s door as long as he is alive. I will follow you without a name or share for a lifetime!"

Ivy’s words hit Michael’s heart like a heavy hammer. After a deep pain spread, a slow sense of happiness followed. He could finally have all her love.

He knew what kind of woman Ivy was – a woman who valued her pride more than her life. Michael clearly understood that to make such a woman willingly say she would give him another child without even asking for a name or share, she must love him deeply!

"Ivy..."

Just as he was about to speak, Ivy covered his mouth, "I know everything. You’ve already done so much for me. Let me do something for you!"

To protect her, he disregarded family hatred, and for him, he didn’t hesitate to turn against his father. As a son, he had done enough. She loved him and naturally couldn’t bear to see him abandon his family for her.

Michael didn’t say anything more, just looked deeply at her. In the depths of his eyes, waves of light rippled. The next moment, the hand covering his lips was twisted open. He lowered his head, covering her soft lips with his own. The strong desire was controlled into a gentle kiss, but this kiss was like a fire that couldn’t be extinguished!

It wasn’t until the alarm rang for changing the medication that Michael let her go. He undid her nightgown and carefully peeled off the bandage on her chest. He could have used western medicine instead, which would have made things less complicated.

But Ivy mentioned the possibility of a scar, and Lucas Sandy changed it to a special traditional medicine for her. Since traditional medicine had no side effects on the human body, Michael let her have her way.

However, when he removed the bandage covering her chest, Michael was shocked by the sight. A deep, deep scar had cut into her originally fair and plump chest. The original beautiful scenery was destroyed.

Michael’s heart sank suddenly. The wound from her standard 34C cup size reached her heart. How much force did she use back then? It must have been very painful. Thinking about it, his heart ached as well...

"What, you’re upset that the beautiful view was ruined? Do you dislike it?" Ivy looked at him, staring blankly at her wound, and knew what he was thinking, "You’re not gonna stop touching just because of this ugly sight, are you?"

After saying this, Ivy saw the corners of Michael’s eyes twitch, barely suppressing laughter. This was the most explicit teasing she had ever said!

"Ivy, you better not boast. If I can’t control myself later and your body can’t take it, I will torture your hand!"

Michael gritted his teeth and glared at his woman who still had the mood to tease him. Seeing her like this, he felt heartache more than anything else, so how could he ever dislike her?
