Chapter 498: Chapter 477: He thought, just let nature take its course.

When Michael Gordon finished listening to the recording, his brows were tightly knit, his exquisite features contorted with dissatisfaction.

With such an expression, anyone could tell that he was not happy.

Jaysen Smith, who was closest to him, noticed it first.

"Why isn’t there Ivy’s voice?!" Just as Jaysen was about to ask him what was going on, the man pulled at his lips and spoke directly, dropping his decency, "Why? Why? She’s usually the most talkative one, isn’t she?"

Jaysen: "..."

There simply wasn’t any. What else was there to ask?

After being speechless for a long time, Jaysen finally gave him a very pertinent explanation: "Pregnant women need prenatal education. She wouldn’t participate in such unhealthy conversations."

Michael Gordon: "..."

So that’s what it was!

Oliver Thompson listened to the recording and clicked replay compulsively, not feeling embarrassed at all despite having several people listening with him. He continued to play it over and over again.

Time slowly passed until the surgery was over, and exhaustion set in. He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. Jaysen then went over to take the phone from him and turned off the audio message.

The three standing men looked at his face, which appeared no different from that of a corpse, and sighed in unison after remaining silent for a while.

No one would have expected that this cold-blooded and merciless man would one day be held tightly by a woman in her grasp.

Michael thought of it as fate!

He had witnessed the beginning of Lucas Sandy and Julie Harrison’s relationship. They had known each other since childhood, borne deep grudges, and loved each other, but couldn’t be together. They finally found an excuse, only to realize that the woman they had used as an excuse wasn’t up to par.

Finally, when plunged in, they truly couldn’t get out!

At this moment, he felt both sympathy and envy towards him.

He sympathized with him because he had born the most in their love story, suffered the most torment, and loved the most bitterly. In the end, they reached a point where they couldn’t love each other.

He envied him because he, at least, had a complete memory of their growth together.

Not every man is so lucky to see the woman he loves be born, grow up, and step by step come towards him. However, he wasn’t one of those men, so he was envious!

Sometimes he wondered if Ivy was in his lost memories, if they had met before. Otherwise, how could he have fallen for her at first sight and never let her go?

Subconsciously, he always remembered a woman who had firmly grasped his consciousness and taken root deep in his heart. Even if he forgot the world and himself, he still remembered the woman in the depths of his mind!

He wanted to remember, but was also afraid of remembering!

He wanted to remember because that might be the most perfect memory he was missing. He was afraid of remembering because the woman in those memories might not be the same woman he loved deeply and was determined to love deeply.

So recently, he stopped undergoing the memory recovery treatment that Lucas Sandy had developed for him!

He thought, let nature take its course. Since God had made him lose his memory, there must be a reason. Perhaps it was to punish him for the beastly things he had done to Ivy. He didn’t want to force something to come back, only to find out it wasn’t what he had desired!

Andras City

Driver Brad, who had accidentally exposed his recording of others’ conversations, was in a good mood. As he drove, he chatted with the women, revealing some of Oliver Thompson’s embarrassing moments.

The women listened in astonishment, never imagining the cold man who always sat in the corner of the house could have such a cute side. He lived under the same roof with a beautiful woman but didn’t do anything. Instead, he cozied up to a driver and did such shady things!

Oh, it’s not completely accurate to say that he didn’t do anything. He was bold enough to have sex with someone for three days and three nights, leaving them unable to get out of bed!

Both Ivy Aretha and Madeline Harrison laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt, almost dropping their jaws.

But Julie Harrison, sitting beside them, became silent. She was lost in thought, unconsciously imagining the man doing a series of such things.

Oliver Thompson was always cold, serious, and didn’t joke around much. He didn’t speak much – when he did, it was usually short and cutting.

With such a boring man, how could he do such childish things?

Could it be that the deeper one’s inner world is, the more passionate they are inside? They just don’t have a chance to express their passion!

Is that what Oliver Thompson is like now?

At this moment, Julie seemed to start believing that he loved her, she just didn’t know when it had started.

The car stopped at the mall nearest to the villa area.

The women couldn’t decide which way to go. Madeline had suggested shopping, but she didn’t have anything specific to buy. Julie wasn’t particularly interested in shopping either, so she was simply there to accompany them. It wasn’t suitable for her to make decisions.

The three of them dithered at the parking lot for a long time. In the end, it was Ivy who made the decision to buy baby things.

At this time and location, it wasn’t the weekend, so the children’s clothing area was even quieter than usual.

Their appearance as a group attracted attention, especially since the three women were so attractive. For a moment, many eyes turned to them, and they could hear whispers around them.

Then they heard the name "Mrs. Smith" being passed around, with some curious sales assistants peeking out.

Madeline was surprised when she heard this name. She and Jaysen had registered their marriage abroad and went straight to their honeymoon after getting married. They hadn’t even returned to their home, nor met Jaysen’s parents. Now that the men had gone to deal with matters, how did their faces become recognized?

Well, it’s not strange that her face was recognized as the daughter of the Harrison family. Her father, who never cared about her, had shown off her photos to boost his reputation. However, her unmade-up face had never been exposed to the public before!
