The CEO’s Billion Dollar Bride
Chapter 655 - 634: I...I’m a little tired!

Chapter 655: Chapter 634: I...I’m a little tired!

It would have been better if she hadn’t said it, for when she did, Lina’s complexion became even worse.

"I... I’m a little tired!"

"Tired?"

At this word, Mario Jensen’s eyebrows furrowed tightly in concern. He hasn’t forgotten Ivy Aretha, his soon to be seven months pregnant wife has been wandering outside without complaining of fatigue. Lina, on the other hand, was sleeping in her room all the time, had gone to bed after having a meal at around 8pm the previous night. How could she be tired?

"Lina, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

While most men are afraid their women will be unreasonable and cause trouble everywhere, he has to worry every day whether his woman, being too reasonable, hides anything that makes her uncomfortable.

"No, no!"

Lina quickly shakes her head, then reminds him, "The wedding is about to start. We should go now!"

While speaking, she hardly dares to look up at him. The more she avoids, the more suspicious Mario becomes.

"Senior, compared to our own Michael Gordon, you’re much worse. You know nothing about spoiling your wife!"

Mario Jensen: "..."

How did he end up with a reputation for not caring for his wife?

Even when lying down, he still somehow catches bullets. What a great injustice!

Mr. Gordon was instantly satisfied. His innocent love rival of the past was now despised by his own wife in public for not caring for his wife. He couldn’t describe his happiness.

"Lina, what’s the matter with you, really?"

These words from Ivy made Mario more anxious. In this situation, even a casual guess would tell that Lina must be uncomfortable somewhere.

"That’s it, senior. If you genuinely care about her, is there any need to ask? Ask her properly when you return home tonight!"

With a glance at the worried man, Ivy lightly made a remark. Men are sometimes too careless and need to be reprimanded. "We should hurry to the wedding venue now. Otherwise, Madeline won’t share the wedding candies with us!"

"Let’s go, I’m really fine!"

Seeing this, Lina immediately pulls him towards the hall of the wedding.

By the time they arrived at the wedding hall, many people had already been seated. As Madeline likes the night view, the wedding is set in a complete night-style atmosphere. As Ivy loves stargazing, the entire banquet hall, given its design for Ivy, has a transparent ceiling. The rooftop is fitted with glass lamps. When the lights are turned off, one can see a sky full of stars under the night sky, a sight captivatingly beautiful.

Due to their high-profile identities, they were prearranged to be seated in the most remote corner. Even so, they could not escape becoming the center of attention.

Fortunately, besides Ivy, everyone had become accustomed to being observed. Julia, being a wealthy family’s daughter, has been accustomed to attending various banquets from a young age, while Lina, being an actress, has long developed an unshakeable calmness.

Ivy, who always pursues freedom, is still not quite used to being constrained by other people’s gazes.

"Honey, just be yourself. Don’t bother about others!"

Michael Gordon tenderly kisses her cheek, adjusts her to a comfortable sitting position, knowing she is somewhat uncomfortable with the feeling of being watched. The Smith family and the Harrison family are both prominent families, so the guests mostly consist of prestigious families from Andras City. Coupled with various legendary stories circulating about Ivy within these affluent circles, like an unrecognized daughter claiming her right, a son who treasures her, and spoiling her to the point it’s known to all, yet without appearing even once in media gossip, has increased interest in her face a lot. Upon seeing her face today, almost all eyes were fixed on Ivy.

"Honey, do I look more beautiful than the bride today?" Ivy casually scans the crowd within her sight, then indifferently speaks, "If so, Madeline will kill me later!"

Michael Gordon: "..."

It appears that his wife is not as resistant to being appreciated as he thought.

As he was thinking so, he noticed that the woman in front of him gradually became pale. His heart skipped a beat as he followed the direction of her gaze...

Then his face darkened.

"What’s going on?"

Almost simultaneously, Michael Gordon’s voice tightened in chorus with anxiety. He unconsciously looked up and asked Oliver Thompson, "Why haven’t you informed me that they’ve become involved with each other?"

"I did warn you that this woman is not simple and suggested to you that it would be best to keep a close eye on her. You were quick to drive her away for immediate relief. Now, in no time, she has hooked up with the future president of Orchid Kingdom!"

With an indifferent glance, Oliver Thompson languidly responded, seemingly not giving any weight to the matter.

"Keep her under my watch? You make it sound so easy. How can I keep her in my territory when she’s stepping over my wife?"

Michael Gordon pulls his wife a bit closer and stays silent for a moment before speaking to Oliver, "Get your men to keep an eye on Alya Larson for me, I want to see what she’s stirring up between those brothers."

The two brothers of Orchid Kingdom, Sammy Lowe, and Spencer Lowe have been competing for the future presidential position since their infancy. The recent news of the current president stepping down has led the royal bloodline to come out openly.

Normally, he wouldn’t care much about the internal affairs of this small country, but his people have brought news that they’ve come here with the same purpose, targeting his wife.

"Isn’t she just after your Gordon family’s wealth? For this foolish question, do I need to keep watch? It’s said that women become foolish for three years after a pregnancy, but why has it turned into men becoming foolish for three years after their woman gets pregnant in your case?"

With a light glance, Oliver Thompson indifferently speaks again, "Oh yes, I forgot to tell you one small thing. This woman and your stepmother seem to share a close relationship!"

"Close?"

He naturally knew about their closeness, if not, why would that woman persuade his father to marry him to a woman he doesn’t like?

"How close?"

This was the key point.

"It seems, um, like mother and daughter?"

The man remains calm, but Michael Gordon is definitely no longer calm. "Biological?"

"Naturally!"

Oliver Thompson retains his calm demeanor, "If not biological, what mother-daughter relationship can there be otherwise?"

For Michael Gordon, this news was like a bolt from the blue. At that moment, if Ivy hadn’t been holding his hand, he would’ve probably tossed the quilt on the table at Oliver Thompson.

"Such important news, and you only tell me now?"
