Chapter 725: Chapter 704: The Shameless Spirit of A Liar

So all this time, his affectionate words about her being somewhat willing last time, and that it didn’t count as rape, were just to coax him?

If it weren’t for the darkness of the night, Ivy Aretha would be able to see the rich expressions on the man’s face, which would make her laugh out loud.

After that, the man stopped talking, and the room became quiet. The silence was so profound that only the sound of their breathing remained. This excessive quietness began to make Ivy uneasy, and she lost all sleepiness in the middle of the night.

"Michael..."

In the end, Ivy broke the silence and whispered his name softly. "Are you... Are you unhappy?"

Although Ivy didn’t know why he was unhappy, nor could she find a reason for it, she could still feel that the man’s sudden silence indicated his unhappiness. Even so, Michael Gordon’s arm around her body didn’t loosen its grip at all.

"Hmm!"

The man only responded with a light hum, and then he fell silent again!

"What does that mean?"

Perhaps Ivy had grown accustomed to being pampered and spoiled by Michael. His sudden silence made her feel frustrated. She punched him in the chest, "You promised to pamper me for the rest of my life and let me be happy forever. How come you’re upset with me just after a few days? "

"Never mind, all men in this world are as unreliable as crows! I’ll just rely on my darling in the future!" With that said, she tried to wriggle out of his arms. "From now on, I’ll just rely on my child!"

Just as Ivy was about to leave Michael Gordon’s embrace and get out of bed with her heavy body, her waist was suddenly hugged, followed by her body being pulled back to the man’s chest.

"Where do you think you’re going? In this life, you can only be good and stay by my husband’s side, enjoying my pampering!" Michael laughed and caressed her cheek. He calculated the timing carefully in his mind, "A woman who doesn’t rely on her husband and wants to rely on her child... that’s a failure. Wife, do you want to fail?"

"You’re the one who wants to fail!"

Ivy Aretha, who didn’t know what it was like to fail since she became aware of things, retorted without thinking. Even back when she was pregnant with Bella and struggling to eat, she never considered her life a failure.

As long as she worked hard, she wouldn’t fail. One saying was true: "The wind will come if you bloom." If you feel like a failure, how can anyone else believe you can succeed?

So failure was something Ivy would never think of or admit.

No matter the situation – be it her career or love life – she had to succeed!

"Hmm, if my wife wants me to fail, then I will fail!"

How could Michael be angry with her? She was his darling. He had been waiting for so many years for his dream to come true. He had always thought that the girl from his memories was a thing of the past. Before regaining his memories, he wondered several times if that vague girl in his mind didn’t actually exist or was just a shadow. His love was for Ivy, even if he didn’t know it before, he knew it now!

However, when he did remember, he realized just how perfect his life was. The girl he had loved since childhood not only bore his child out of rape but also fell in love with him. In that case, he could say that heaven had been good to him!

He had everything he wanted!

"Ivy..."

From a playful, teasing husband to a suddenly sentimental one, Ivy was taken aback for a moment before responding, "Hmm?"

She suddenly noticed that her emotions were always so vivid when Michael was around. One moment, she was angry enough to scold him; the next, she was so touched that she wanted to cry, and then she felt warm all over.

Even Orchid Palace, a place that made her feel so threatened, was also comfortable as long as he was there.

"What do you want to say? Just spit it out. When did you become so unmanly?"

Unmanly?

Michael Gordon’s eyes twitched. He wasn’t unmanly; he just held himself back from being aggressive because he didn’t want to come off as a beast. That’s why he restrained himself, right?

"Wife, I don’t think you’re looking down on me; you’re just teasing me. So, what should I do now?" He said while reaching for her tightly wrapped pajama, only to be caught by Ivy before his hand went in.

"Do you still want to think about such things? Aren’t you afraid of your son’s resistance?"

Michael Gordon: "..."

He hadn’t even considered doing that thing, yet she had already thought of him as someone who would dare to. Indeed, in her mind, he was on par with a beast already.

"Ahem, my wife, I’m not that much of a beast. I just wanted to check if your pajamas are safe since we’re away from home and sleeping alone at night!"

After saying that, he skillfully scraped her nose, "Not bad, I’ve checked it, and your pajamas are quite secure. Good girl!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

Why did she have to think of others as beasts when she was the one being a beast?

"When it’s such a big belly, other people wouldn’t even be able to get it up, right? How could they lay a hand on it?"

Well?

Why could he still get it up without even looking at it?

Michael Gordon deeply felt that if that were the case, then his wife would truly belong only to him!

With this realization, Mr. Gordon’s mood improved greatly. Timing and arrangements were still too early to be made, especially with such a rare night. Mr. Gordon felt that he should ask the question anyway.

"Wife, let me ask you something!" This time, Michael didn’t hesitate. Instead, he just held her and began, "You said earlier that on the night we... um, conceived Bella seven years ago, you were somewhat willing. I want to know why?"

There was definitely no love involved. Michael naturally thought it was impossible for her to be willing to give herself to him because she loved him.

It did not match the style of Ivy Aretha he knew.

"Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"

They had been together for so long, and Michael Gordon never mentioned the events of seven years ago because he felt guilty. That topic was brought up by Ivy when they were in the heat of passion to ease his guilt, but it was true.

Even so, Mr. Gordon never brought it up again afterward. Thus, Ivy knew that even if what she said was true, it couldn’t alleviate the guilt in his heart. Since then, they had both tacitly avoided mentioning that night.

"I just suddenly want to know. Wife, please indulge me and tell me!"

His shameless, pleading tone came back, and Ivy disgracefully discovered that after not seeing him for a while, she had missed it quite dearly!
