Chapter 484: Chapter 463: What, that woman asked you to save her husband?

"What, that woman asked you to save her husband?"

After the room fell silent, the first to speak was Mario Jensen. Jaysen Smith just stood quietly by, his eyebrows furrowing and his facial lines tensing when his gaze met Michael Gordon’s serious face.

The phone call was made in front of everyone. Based on the four words "life hanging by a thread," anyone with keen ears could understand its meaning. The three women naturally chose to remain silent on this heavy topic, even Madeline, who usually talks a lot, instinctively chose to close her mouth.

Michael Gordon’s face remained solemn, and he said nothing for a while. His fingers tapped occasionally on the screen of his phone as the coldness between his brows grew more intense. After a while, he spoke decisively, "Jaysen, come back with me. Fabian, you stay here and take care of the three women. Any problems with that?!"

Jaysen Smith nodded in agreement.

"Why am I the one taking care of the women?" Mario Jensen raised his head in disbelief, glanced at Jaysen Smith, and said to Michael Gordon, "Don’t I look more capable of fighting than him?"

Michael Gordon: "..."

Jaysen Smith: "..."

"Did I say we were going to fight?" Michael Gordon gave him a roll of his eyes, "With your unrefined, fight-seeking manner, you’re only suitable for taking care of women. Such high-intelligence tasks are obviously not suitable for you!"

He, Jaysen Smith, and Oliver Thompson were life-and-death friends. It was natural for them to go through fire and water for their brothers. However, Mario Jensen was different; he could be called a close friend, but that was all. So when faced with this kind of situation, there was no need to drag him into it.

"Michael, has something happened to Oliver Thompson?"

After a moment of silence, Ivy Aretha couldn’t help but ask, seeing Michael Gordon’s face looking so concerned, "Is it serious?"

It couldn’t be trivial. Otherwise, Julie Harrison, who was in the middle of the cold war, wouldn’t have called to disturb their honeymoon.

"It’s nothing!"

Michael Gordon reached out to touch Ivy’s slightly bulging abdomen and lazily said, "A real man should be ready to risk his life for a woman at least once. Oliver just wants to prove that he’s a real man. Don’t worry, let’s eat. The baby must be hungry!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

So it turns out that a real man must risk his life for a woman?

She thought it was enough to just perform well in bed!

Although Michael Gordon spoke casually, Ivy could still see the killing intent in his handsome face. She somewhat understood the concerns in a man’s heart. Lately, his calls had become more frequent, and he would always take them away from her.

It seemed that the matter wasn’t as simple as it involved only Oliver Thompson.

She had already given her heart and body to him, but she seemingly didn’t understand as much as she had thought. Apparently... he was hiding something from her!

However, since he was hiding it, it must mean that knowing more would be harmful. After all, male lead characters on TV always do the same!

With that thought, Ivy didn’t ask any more questions but obediently joined everyone for dinner. After all, she was pregnant now. Maintaining a happy mood, taking good care of herself, and not being a burden was already the greatest help to them.

It was not suitable for her current state to say things like facing danger together, going with him, and dying together.

Moreover, too much talk would delay work efficiency, and time was precious.

After dinner, just as Ivy was about to have someone clean up, Michael Gordon said, "There’s no need to clean up. You don’t need to come back with us. Just stay here. If we go back, there will be three women and three households to take care of. Even with six arms, Fabian couldn’t handle it all!"

"Ivy is pregnant, Lina is a new mother, and I am neither. I’m healthy and able-bodied. I can take care of them, so let Fabian go with you!"

In the end, Madeline had the final say, "There’s nothing fun on the island, especially without men. Let’s go back to Andras City directly. I’ll stay at Ivy’s place!"

"Yes, let’s all go back. If you’re worried, I’ll stay with Nirina at Ivy’s place!"

Although Lina Miller was graceful and quiet, she was remarkably quick to react in matters other than love and gender. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been the reigning actress for so many years, becoming an unattainable National Goddess to the masses.

The men were already discussing how to take care of them. It was a big deal, and it might endanger a family’s well-being. At this moment, trying to reassure them was all that was left for them.

Hearing this, Michael Gordon hesitated for a moment before saying, "That’s fine too. It’s better to have the children nearby. Lina, you stay home and take care of the child, and don’t go out for a while. Let Madeline stay with Ivy!"

After all, this matter had nothing to do with Lina. There was no need to drag her into it. Besides, Lina’s beautiful face would be too eye-catching. Even a little movement could attract attention and lead to snoops. It was better to stay out of sight during this time!

In the meantime, the people Michael Gordon brought had prepared their luggage.

After sitting on an airplane for a full eight hours and unable to sleep due to worry, Ivy’s heart finally settled when she saw Bianca Aretha’s soft, adorable face upon return home.

"Why are you back?"

When they arrived home, Julie Harrison was doing Bianca’s hair. The little girl was insisting on growing her hair to become a princess. She was surprised when she saw Ivy and Madeline and their husbands appear at home.

She wanted to ask about Oliver’s situation, but the words were stuck in her throat and remained unsaid.

"Uncle Gordon, do you know where my dad went? I can’t find him, and I’m very worried. Can you help me look for him?"

As Julie Harrison was wondering how to ask, Roy Thompson ran out of the room upon hearing their voices and clung to Michael Gordon’s leg. His voice seemed on the verge of crying, but he did his best to hold back the tears.

In just a few days, the young boy had learned to hide his emotions.

"Roy, your dad went to take care of some business. There’s a big forest over there, and the phone signal is poor, so that’s why he couldn’t receive your calls. Don’t worry, your dad is fine!"

Michael Gordon patted Roy Thompson’s head, "Go and play with your sister for a while. Uncle has something to discuss with your mom!"

For Julie Harrison, he could speak harshly because of his bond with Oliver. In his heart, he wished that she could forgive his brother for everything he had done and live a good life together. After all, some things, although done, were not voluntary.
