Chapter 370: Chapter 349: I’m Protecting His Wife on His Behalf

Oliver Thompson looked at her expression as his eyes locked onto hers, and the woman’s face stiffened a bit, her hands trembling slightly before continuing, "It just so happens that little Roy and Mr. Gordon’s young daughter can develop a relationship, take Michael Gordon’s daughter away, and then you won’t have to worry about me leaving first, and your daughter-in-law bullying you, that girl is so attached to you!"

Even though she knew he was just talking nonsense and looking for a topic, Julie Harrison couldn’t help but feel a twinge of heartache, perhaps it was because this man never liked to talk to her, or maybe it was the sweetest words she had ever heard since she met him!

This man was always cold, wrapped in an air that kept strangers at bay, even in bed, still so cold, doing everything so directly, not a word, she had always thought this man slept with her just because of physiological needs only!

Even after sleeping with her, she could predict his regretful expression, so they were quite in sync on this point, never turning on the light or talking during the act!

So his sudden words made her somewhat unable to control her emotions, and she dared not look into his eyes.

Although she also knew that his sweet words to her had a purpose!

"Put on the clothes yourself!"

Julie Harrison glanced away, not looking at the man’s scorching gaze fixed on her, and threw a set of pajamas at him.

"Such ugly clothes, like a hospital gown, will make me look ugly, I don’t want to wear it!"

Oliver Thompson eyed the vertical-striped pajama set reminiscent of a hospital gown, frowning deeply with a look of disdain on his face.

Julie Harrison was about to admit defeat, even in this state, he was still thinking about looking dashing!

This man had always been very protective of his image!

"If you don’t wear it, just lie in bed shirtless!" Julie Harrison said, but she had already unbuttoned the shirt and directly tucked one arm into it, "Wearing those clothes that only suit for showing off outside, do you want your wound to get worse?"

Sweaters, suits, tailcoats – they were all for showing off in public. Wearing them would certainly be less comfortable than cotton pajamas, which are loose and most suitable for healing!

"I’ll wear whatever my wife tells me to wear!"

After her scolding and personally dressing him, Oliver Thompson was in high spirits. Although he was treating her this way because of their son’s supervision, he was still satisfied, considering the few things he had done for her over the years!

Even when she needed him the most, he wasn’t by her side!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of guilt. Sometimes, only after causing harm do people realize the deep love they once had!

A bitter smile filled his heart, but he couldn’t help making an unnecessary teasing remark just to talk to her more: "After all, I’m wearing this just for you to see!"

After helping him change, Julie Harrison took Roy to eat. The little guy insisted on eating with his father, claiming that his father was already pitiful enough being injured; if he were to eat alone, he wouldn’t be able to survive!

Julie Harrison deeply felt that Oliver Thompson’s "can’t survive" was just brainwashing their son in order to harass her. This man always knew how to hit her where it hurt. Her weakness was their son, and he didn’t care about their son, so he could use him so unscrupulously!

So, she had no choice but to bring the first breakfast of the New Year to the bedroom and eat with him. Mr. Gordon expressed his utter contempt for the man’s sickly and feigned helplessness; however, this woman just happened to fall for it!

If it were Ivy Aretha, she would probably just throw him the most basic poison - pesticide, and let him drink it to death. Being disabled and alive would be a waste of food and harm the family happiness index, wouldn’t it?!

So he never used this trick on his woman. Men should always show strength in front of women, how could they pretend to be weak?!

But Oliver Thompson thought, no matter if it’s a white cat or a black cat, catching your wife makes it a good cat!

If you’re shameless, you are shameless; if you’re without merit, you’re without merit. Without a wife, there wouldn’t even be anyone to be shameless in front of, and no one to show off your merit to!

Because of Michael Gordon in Andras City, the transfer process for Roy Thompson has been handled before the year is over. Ivy Aretha, who has been resting at home until March, finally can’t sit still and goes to work at the company. The happiest person is, of course, Sophia Young; the least happy person is naturally Alya Larson, the love rival who has always maintained the highest combat status.

On Ivy Aretha’s first day at work, she received a sensational piece of news: Skyler Gordon, Michael Gordon’s half-brother, has joined the company as an intern, and he’s in the Legal Department!

In other words, this brother-in-law, who has always supported Alya Larson to become the rightful sister-in-law, has now become her colleague! Ivy couldn’t help but feel like quitting for a moment!

One love rival, plus one brother-in-law, working together in the same office, Ivy really felt like she had stepped into a palace drama mixed with a bickering man: it was a bit off!

This Young Master Skyler Gordon indeed had a great reputation; he was brought to the Legal Department personally by Calvin Gordon, who specifically instructed Minister Maria Young to take good care of him and help him learn more!

The intention was very clear. Since the Legal Department is the closest position to the CEO Office, sending Skyler there was not only to give him a chance to practice but also to keep an eye on Michael Gordon’s office!

Michael Gordon hasn’t been going back to the Gordon family because of Ivy. Although he went there once on New Year’s Eve, the relationship between father and son seems to be still stiff. Many media outlets have reported this, but as the leader of the media industry, Michael Gordon had the ability to block such news.

In fact, he just let the media do their guessing without interfering!

It seems that the relationship must have reached a breaking point. At this time, the last thing Ivy should do is to meddle. So when Calvin Gordon brought Skyler to the company, she, like any other ordinary employee, politely greeted Chairman Calvin Gordon.

Calvin Gordon didn’t even give her a glance, and after instructing her on work, he laughed and talked with Alya Larson for a long time before finally leaving the office reluctantly. As soon as he left, everyone in the office gave Ivy a disdainful look and then automatically gathered around Skyler Gordon and Alya Larson!

Of course, she still had one partner, that was Sophia Young!

"Don’t worry, even if the whole world betrays you, I, Sophia Young, will betray the whole world to support you!"

Sophia shook her head and sighed as she looked at everyone in the office who had been surrounding her not long ago and trying to get close to Mrs. Gordon. Now they had all gathered around those two people, her expression full of disdain.

"Sophia, isn’t that supposed to be something Mr. Gordon would say? You stole his line, what’s the meaning of that?" Ivy laughed and patted Sophia’s shoulder, her face carefree and smiling, "Don’t tell me you want to compete with Mr. Gordon for favor? He is a jealous pot, and he won’t care if you’re a man or a woman when he gets jealous!"

"Damn it, I’m protecting his wife on his behalf, he should thank me!"
