Chapter 491: Chapter 470 This Became a Habit!

Pausing a moment, Ivy Aretha sighed again: "A grudge that can hurt one generation; the cost is already too great. To involve the next generation would be a sin, don’t you think? Think about Roy. If you and Oliver Thompson divorced and were frequently apart, what would the child think? Roy is sensible now, your squabbling will only deceive him for a while, but not forever, and it’s not good for his growth!"

After hearing Ivy’s words, Julie Harrison, who had been silent for a long time, finally said, "I’m not talking about divorce with him now!"

Actually, after she had angered Oliver Thompson that time, and he forced himself on her like a madman and then left without a word, her heart inexplicably softened, and what she had been insisting on was slowly being compromised.

So when she called to ask him for a divorce agreement and was caught red-handed by Amanda Foster, she actually blurted out the shameless words saying she wouldn’t divorce and would drag them down instead.

It was then that her heart softened!

She didn’t know why, but after the man treated her that way that night, tormenting her so much that she couldn’t get out of bed for three days and three nights, she didn’t hate him as much?

In fact, her hatred for him wasn’t as strong as before!

After others experienced such a thing, it would only drive them further apart, but why did it bring her closer to him, as if she understood him better?

Perhaps it was because, when he treated her that way, his inner pain was greater than her physical pain!

Later, when Michael Gordon said those words in front of her, her last will to insist on divorce was almost destroyed.

"So, what do you mean by not mentioning divorce now? Are you going to mention it later?"

Hearing her clearly easing off, Ivy Aretha took the opportunity to press the issue, as the saying goes, the participants are confused, and the onlookers are clear. Encouragement from God is essential.

"Let’s talk about the future later. This time, I don’t even know if he will come back alive. He’s always doing such dangerous things, and his head is as good as hanging on his belt. There’s no tomorrow for him, so how can I think about such a distant future?"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

Uh?

Is that a compromise?

"Cathy, let me ask you seriously, do you still love Oliver Thompson now? All the while resenting him for ruining your Harrison family!" This was the biggest issue between them!

"What does it matter if I still love him or not? We’ve come this far, and love or not is no longer important!" Julie Harrison’s evasive gaze returned from the ginkgo tree outside the window, she turned her head and looked deeply at Ivy Aretha, "What matters now is that we each take care of ourselves and then provide Roy with a healthy growth environment!"

When she heard this, Ivy Aretha paused for a full three minutes before she profoundly understood the meaning of her words!

She also understood her state of mind at this point.

"How can it not be important? But I understand, you still love him, even if he does such a thing to your family, you still can’t let go of him, right? So you can only force yourself to leave him, am I right?"

Ivy Aretha admitted that her words were somewhat coercive.

But it’s true that people’s true hearts are revealed when they face choices. "So let me ask you now, just in terms of the difficulty you can achieve, which is easier for you to do, give up loving Oliver Thompson or forget the fact that he ruined the Harrison family? You don’t have to answer me, just answer your own heart!"

Before, Ivy Aretha wasn’t sure which one was easier for her to do, but today, seeing her go pale when she drew a fortune stick predicting a bloody disaster when he was twenty-seven years old, she felt she had clarity.

It turned out that she couldn’t let go, even if the man had treated her so violently that she couldn’t get out of bed for three days and three nights, she still couldn’t let go!

"Lunch is here!"

As they were talking, Sienna Harrison appeared cheerfully, carrying lunch for three people. "You guys look, these are all pure green farm dishes! I heard from the volunteers here that many of these dishes are grown by the monks and nuns in the temple. They’re all-natural and pollution-free. Ivy, it’s perfect for a woman like you with a baby in her belly!"

"A baby in my belly? Can you use a more terrible word, Sienna Harrison?"

She actually used the term reserved for animals. "I’m saying, you and Cathy both have the last name Harrison, both from wealthy families, but the difference is really big, huh!"

"Don’t talk about me like that. While I’m your best friend, how did Julie become your nanny?" Sienna Harrison glared at her. "Isn’t that right, Julie?"

Julie Harrison becoming Ivy Aretha’s nanny was a joke between the three of them, and everyone had gotten used to it by now.

Julie Harrison was naturally like that, a typical wealthy lady with impeccable manners and upbringing, while Sienna Harrison was a knockoff.

"Mm!"

Julie Harrison paid no attention to their teasing, having grown accustomed to this style of communication and interaction. Besides, her attention was on Ivy’s words at that moment: Judging by the difficulty you can achieve, giving up loving Oliver Thompson is easier than forgetting the fact that he ruined the Harrison family. You don’t have to answer me, just answer your own heart!

After going over that sentence in her head several times, she came to a conclusion.

Giving up on loving Oliver Thompson is harder than forgetting the fact that he ruined the Harrison family!

It’s already been so many years, even if it’s one-sided love!

It’s become a habit!

She had been lying to herself before, but today, when she heard about the bloody disaster and him being twenty-seven years old, she realized that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t control her own heart!

"Ivy Aretha, what kind of fate do you have? From a plain orphan, you not only got a lady like me as your best friend, but also a top-class noblewoman like Julie as your nanny, and even a man who’s so arrogant in Andras City as your exclusive wife-slave. Your fate is either amazing or better than ours!"

As Sienna Harrison spoke, she pretended to be frightened, her eyes widened in horror, and she didn’t notice that Julie, who was sitting beside them, was lost in thought. "Could it be that you’re actually a princess from a certain country who has been lost in the streets and then sent to an orphanage? Damn, the more I think about it, the more likely. What orphanage girl nowadays has such good fortune as you? It must be..."
