Chapter 761: Chapter 740: The Eve of the Century Wedding

"What did you say before?"

Almost as soon as Ivy Aretha had uttered these words, Michael Gordon’s confused counter-question rang out, while his mind was still flipping through their entire conversation one sentence at a time.

"Forgive Dad!"

The bright and charming little face, the nonchalant words pierced through his ears, creating a sense of burying the hatchet with a smile.

"Ivy... do you know what else I have to say?"

The word ’forgive’, Michael Gordon had guessed already, when Ivy Aretha had said to him on the phone, ’just because he’s your father’. He had guessed then.

"But whatever you have to say, I promise you, and I can accept it!"

This time, without Ivy Aretha’s unexpectedly direct confirmation, she declared, "So, Michael, go ahead, I’ve been waiting for a long time!"

They haven’t known each other for long, but they’ve been through numerous experiences, from strangers to lovers, to family feuds, then reconciliation. It’s not that she’s extraordinarily tolerant, but rather she knows exactly what she wants.

There is a saying that the reason people are happy is not that they get a lot, but that they fuss less.

As long as a family can stay together and live a good life, everything else is minor!

"Ivy, Dad told me today that he was wrong, and he hopes you can forgive him and move back in!"

The words had been spoken, but after saying them, he was a bit afraid to see her reaction. He instinctively avoided it. Ivy Aretha did not respond, just quietly looked at Michael Gordon without uttering a sound, which made the sightless Michael Gordon even more uncertain.

"But, I haven’t agreed to him. This decision... you will make it!" Michael Gordon hurriedly added another sentence, "But, he still hopes that we can go back. After all, he is getting on in years, and his body is not so good!"

"He wants us to go back?" Ivy Aretha raised her eyebrows and chewed on these words slowly, causing Michael Gordon’s heart to tighten. Indeed, after causing her so much harm, a single sentence ’he wants us to go back’ could make her return, this really isn’t persuasive.

Suddenly, her chin was caught. Just as Michael Gordon was looking for the right words to say, his face was turned by her, forced to meet her stunning face. Her eyes, brimming with faint smiles, fell unexpectedly into his sight.

He was only able to look stunned as her soft, gentle voice, like a yellow oriole, spilled from her lips, "So are you saying, you don’t want to go back? Or do you think I don’t want to go back with you?"

Michael Gordon: "..."

"Honey, would you like to go back with me??" Michael Gordon, as if stimulated, suddenly opened his eyes to the fullest, his excited voice burst out, "Honey, are you serious? Are you serious? Are you serious?"

Three excited ’are you serious?’ made Ivy Aretha reflect on her image in his eyes.

"Do you see me as such an unreasonable shrew in your eyes?"

He gave her everything, couldn’t she even accommodate his father? This realization made Ivy Aretha feel quite lost!

"No, no, honey, you are a unique goddess in my heart, babe, but ..."

"But you can’t accommodate your father?"

"That’s not what I meant, I was just thinking about how my father treated you, nearly took your life, I know it’s not fair to easily forgive... but ..."

"But he is your father who gave birth and raised you, right?" Ivy Aretha directly picked up Michael Gordon’s words, paused, and continued, "Just because he gave me a husband who loves me so much, it’s enough to forgive him for everything he has done. Although what happened at that time caused me great harm, it was not without reason. Compared with being rejected for no reason, his reason was enough for him to do such a crazy thing!"

After all, the woman who was persecuted by Luna Cooper was his own younger sister. Moreover, repaying a debt for his mother, she didn’t think it was wrong. As for herself, she had never really cared, after all, things had their causes, not everyone could distinguish clearly between gratitude and resentment. The only thing she was bothered about was when he had attacked Bella Gordon, after all, that was his own granddaughter.

But after all, nothing happened, now that the truth has come out, it was all just a misunderstanding.

How could she bear to let Michael Gordon continue to be torn over this nonexistent misunderstanding? A smart woman not only knows how to take, but also knows how to let go, which is the most important.

"Ivy..."

"Michael Gordon, I said so much on the phone with you today, how come none of it went into your ears? I said we are a married couple, we are supposed to support and nurture each other for a lifetime. If I can’t even tolerate your father, then what kind of life am I going to live?"

Ivy Aretha was somewhat irritated by his hesitant and troubled demeanor, "Your father was able to forgive me, was able to let us live a good life as a family, this is exactly what I’ve been hoping for. He is a senior, has the right to be forgiven, so, Michael, I am very happy your father could say such words. At least from now on, we can be together openly, and no one dares to say that Ivy Aretha, Mrs. Gordon is illegitimate any more!"

Since Calvin Gordon’s press conference, Ivy Aretha, Mrs. Gordon has become a target of public criticism. She is a person, not a god, of course, she also yearned to be accepted. Rumors and slanders also hurt her.

Michael Gordon was so shaken that he couldn’t say a word. He just watched as her gaze grew deeper and deeper. He has always been worried about the harm Calvin Gordon had caused her, but he never thought about this other aspect.

Until now, he knows that compared to the harm, being accepted as Mrs. Gordon by the world is more important to her.

Michael Gordon always thought that as long as he treated her well enough, loved her enough, he could disregard others’ opinions. And he did it very well, except for one mistake. The media never spread such opinions afterwards, all people addressed her as Mrs. Gordon.

But that’s what he thought, not what she really wanted!

"Um, in the future, no one will say that anymore, never again!"

Michael Gordon didn’t say anything anymore, but held the woman’s hand with a stronger grasp. Now that things have been talked about to this point, there is no need to say anything more. How could hearts that are close together not feel each other?

The wedding was already just a few days away, and with every passing day, the wedding was getting closer. The venue had been decorated for a week. Michael Gordon had visited, and also shown Ivy Aretha videos of it. Just by looking at the progress, it could be inferred how grand the wedding would be.

During this time, the person most excited apart from Ivy Aretha was Bella Gordon. The MC who was about to host her parents’ wedding had been rehearsing hard.
