Chapter 667: Chapter 646: Why did you lose face recently?

"Alright!"

He had tried several times to explain this matter to her, but he never found the right opportunity. Plus, she was pregnant with twins, so he lost the motivation to bring it up.

Now is the perfect chance.

"About your parents, I did ask Adam to investigate, and Mario Jensen was also investigating at the time. Back then, I was afraid that he would use this information to corner you, so I let Adam snatch his investigative materials. All evidence showed that you and David Aretha are indeed father and daughter. My father and Mario Jensen were both focused on David, so I didn’t think too much and just believed that it was true..."

"So, you believed it was true?"

Being able to say this clearly means it’s not true. Ivy Aretha was so shocked that she sat up straight on the bed before he even finished talking, making Michael Gordon jump in fright and hurriedly held her.

"Ivy, don’t get excited, let me finish first. You can be mad at me, just don’t scare the baby!"

Nearing seven months pregnant with twins, Michael Gordon practically had to watch her every moment. The doctor had already moved into the villa to monitor her condition, and even Lucas Sandy had warned him to be extra cautious due to the scars from her previous cesarean section.

Ivy gave birth to Bianca via caesarean section. Although it had been a while, her uterus had been checked during prenatal examinations and was perfectly normal. However, with two babies, her belly had already become overburdened. Even Lucas Sandy made sure the doctor was attentive to her needs.

Michael Gordon was naturally anxious, fearing any accidents. Sienna Harrison’s ordeal had already frightened Ivy.

"My dad later discovered the truth because he held a press conference last time, making a fuss. He contacted the newspaper agency in the middle of the night to hold the press conference. Although I managed to handle it promptly, your photo still leaked, somehow reaching the people of Orchid Kingdom. They contacted my father, who was then prompted to investigate the past events. It was only then that he came to me and said..."

Michael Gordon hugged the somewhat bewildered Ivy Aretha and gave her some warm water from the bedside cooler with a straw. After she took a sip, he continued talking once he confirmed her emotions were stable.

"At that time, he wanted me to keep you here safely, because the people of Orchid Kingdom were looking for you. He wanted me to watch over you and not let them take you away. I was unhappy with my father’s abrupt change in attitude just because you might be an important figure the Orchid Kingdom’s royal family was looking for. I was afraid he would use you for something, so... I didn’t agree to my father’s request, and I didn’t tell you either. I didn’t want to say anything until this matter was cleared up, and I just wanted you to focus on carrying the baby!"

"So, you weren’t honest with me about this because you were worried your father wanted to use me to negotiate with Orchid Kingdom’s people?"

After all, Orchid Kingdom’s people were able to find Calvin Gordon directly. Ivy Aretha thought there must be some connection between them, even if it was unclear whether they were friends or foes.

However, the answer Michael Gordon gave her satisfied her, whether it was true or false.

"I don’t know my father’s intentions, so I was suspicious. Honestly, I wasn’t doubting my dad, I was doubting Risa Scott, fearing she might have had bad ideas for my father. So..."

"No need to say more; I understand!"

As husband and wife, if she still doesn’t understand his concerns after their conversation, it would be a waste of the affection he’s shown her for so long.

"What do you mean by ’understand’?"

Michael Gordon was puzzled and asked, "Are you forgiving me? Or..."

Ivy Aretha simply rolled her eyes at him, not saying anything, and lay down to sleep. This left Michael Gordon even more uncertain.

"Wife, I’m sorry, I was wrong!"

Considering Ivy’s character, she must be angry about such a significant misunderstanding. It almost cost her life and even got Bianca involved. Now, to find out that the supposed hatred was nonexistent was really hard to bear.

But all he could do now was apologize.

"What were you wrong about?"

Ivy initially meant to intentionally ignore him for a while, but when he admitted his mistake so blatantly and even acted so submissively, she couldn’t help but tease him a little.

"I was wrong to not thoroughly investigate such a significant matter, letting my wife suffer so much shock and grievance. My biggest mistake is not being able to protect my wife and child!"

Seeing her reaction, Michael quickly pulled her into his embrace and kissed her back gently. His temper was incredibly sweet and convincing. "I should have looked into it thoroughly and not just rely on my father’s words. I only found the surface-level information that you and David Aretha are not biological father and daughter, but he was your adoptive father. So, Luna Cooper is only your adopted mother. In any case, I’m in the wrong, I accept punishment, but please don’t leave me. I have nothing now. Apart from working to make money for you, I will starve, so wife, you can’t abandon me!"

Ivy Aretha:"... "

Was Mr. Gordon just shameless before, or has he completely lost his shame?

Ivy was wondering, if he acted like this in front of all the employees of Allure International, how would they react?

"What does it matter if I don’t want you? Your old lovers can take care of you, and your face is still pretty valuable!"

Ivy didn’t move, nor did she brush away the man’s hand holding her. She just joked with some amusement, "Those beauties who made headlines with you back then surely benefited from your fame, didn’t they? If you’re really starving, they wouldn’t just let you die, right? Oh, I’m wrong, with your playboy face, starving to death isn’t an option. You can always make a living from charming smiles!"

Michael Gordon:"... "

Him, making a living from charming smiles?

His wife has some bold ideas!

Damn, the key point is, who would dare to buy his smiles?

"But, I think if you were really abandoned by me, and it became known, you’d probably have women lined up for miles in Andras City’s streets who want to keep you!"

Saying this, Ivy Aretha suddenly turned around and gently patted Michael Gordon’s face, laughing, "So, husband, don’t worry about starving to death!"

Michael Gordon:"... "

Why did this reassurance feel so creepy to him?

Wait, he came here to apologize. How did this turn into worrying about starving to death?
