Chapter 733 - 712: Do you think I’m willing to let them attack you?

Chapter 733: Chapter 712: Do you think I’m willing to let them attack you?

Not to mention these unfamiliar people, even Ivy Aretha didn’t expect Michael Gordon to have such an amazing skill. Holding her, a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, he was able to take down three Orchid Kingdom soldiers with just one kick! How skilled must he be!

Ivy stared dumbfoundedly, raising her head to foolishly look at her calm husband. After a moment, she remembered the situation and instinctively struggled to get out of Michael’s arms. Halfway through, however, she changed her mind and stopped struggling. In the next moment, she tightly hugged Michael’s neck and softly spoke: "Don’t let go of me, they won’t dare to be ruthless like this!"

After the initial surprise, Ivy quickly understood the situation. Besides Michael’s own abilities, the reason he could take down the soldiers was that these people ultimately had reservations about hurting her, who was valuable to them, and didn’t dare to act rashly!

Pregnant women are most prone to accidents, and she couldn’t afford to have one. To them, she was an important person!

"Honey, do you think I would let them lay a hand on you?"

Seeing her like this, Michael couldn’t help but chuckle. His woman was simply too adorable. However, in this situation, being loved by him like this made everything worth it, from his diligent efforts to recover his memory and regain her completely over the years.

Ivy: "..."

She just wanted to show him some concern and he didn’t even give her face. This man truly deserved a good lesson, but only she was qualified to teach him one! No one else had the right!

Being overprotective wasn’t something only men could do; women were also born with this ability.

"Mr. Gordon, I can’t let you take Ivy away. If you’re worried, you can stay here!"

The old King saw the current situation and knew that forcing his way would be difficult, especially since his beloved niece was wholeheartedly supporting that man. She really had the same temperament as her mother, being so obedient to her man. Sighing at this point was useless.

"Stay here?"

Upon hearing the conciliatory words, Ivy’s eyes lit up. After all, if they really fought right now, Michael would not stand a chance against them. He was alone, while they had thousands of troops, and they were on someone else’s territory.

"If we stay here, are you sure you won’t do anything to Michael?"

Because Spencer had taken advantage of the situation and kidnapped her, Ivy had instinctively chosen not to trust these people.

"As the head of Allure International, Mr. Gordon, besides kicking him out, what else can we do?" Spencer shot her a deep glance, giving her a guarantee. "Mr. Gordon can stay here and rest, and you can go back to Ruby Ross Palace to recuperate!"

Damn it! Not harming him, my ass!

"What’s the difference between detention and this? Keeping us separated is still detention!"

It would be better for Michael to go back to Andras City. At least he could find Oliver Thompson’s Special Forces to eradicate this small country!

The domineering thought crossed Ivy’s mind. It’s not that she was unfilial, but these people had inexplicably failed to make her feel a single ounce of affection. On the contrary, she was terrified of their so-called love.

Where did they find a cousin, a niece? It seemed more like a case of kidnapping and then covering it up, secretly knowing about it and then reporting it, and then everyone fighting over her.

"Ivy, this is where you belong, this is your home. How could you speak like that? Your grandfather is doing this for your own good. How can you say this is detention?"

The old King, hearing her words, gestured to the surrounding men in black to stop and give him a chance to speak. "A man who truly loves you should respect your family and gain their approval. Then he can marry you from the Orchid Kingdom with pride. But what about now? Kidnapping into a room? A man who truly loves you needs to be tested!"

"Ivy, stay by your grandfather’s side. If Michael really loves you, he will present a betrothal gift and marry you back from this place with honor. At that time, I will never stop you!"

"A betrothal gift?"

Ivy finally laughed out loud. After all that talk, they finally got to the point. She had long heard that the Orchid Kingdom was in an economic crisis due to corruption in the court and had no hope of recovery. The common people were desperate, and demonstrations were breaking out everywhere. The old King had been called back into service, to solve the financial and economic problems and ensure a successful election for a new president.

Indeed, compared to the Orchid Kingdom’s legendary treasure, Michael Gordon’s betrothal gift would be more direct. With three children already, Ivy’s worth was self-evident. The moment she realized this possibility, her heart felt cold inch by inch.

"This is my home?" Ivy carefully looked at the three people standing neatly in front of her, her lips curling into a mocking scorner. "Have you given me a sense of home? No, all I feel are kidnappers. Family isn’t something you just talk about; you need to feel it with your heart. I haven’t felt even a little bit of your affection, but the love from the man you say needs testing has reached the point where I can live and die with him!"

"Moreover, he and I already have three children. Is it too late for you to test the man who loves me now? This isn’t a test; it’s destroying a happy family. What kind of family is he if he can’t stand to see me happy?"

Ivy’s sharp and clear words echoed through the luxurious, empty room. Everyone’s eyes fell on her moving mouth, and the room was so quiet that not even a breath could be heard. The two men’s brows were furrowed, and the old man’s already weary face grew wearier. He wanted to speak, but as he stared at Ivy, his lips opened and closed several times without success.

Indeed, it was just as she said.

"The old King is right. Baby, we should give a betrothal gift. As for how much would be appropriate, we’ll do whatever the old King says!"

After the deadly silence, Michael lowered his head to kiss his woman’s cheek and laughed charmingly. After a while, he chuckled again. "As for how to give it, I’ll listen to my wife!"

After all, he was currently penniless, and all the family’s assets belonged to his wife!

"Really?"

Hearing these words, the old King’s eyes lit up instantly. It wasn’t that he was greedy, he was doing this for the country and the people. He originally wanted to make use of Ivy to find the legendary treasure, but now it was clear that he couldn’t hold onto his niece. Hurting her was something he could never do!
