Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Enough with the Cold War, Let’s Make Up!
Sebastian Blackwood wrapped his arm around her waist and casually started speaking.
Ivy Kensington’s face flushed: "..."
Who was seducing him, shameless!
"Absolutely not."
With a huff, Ivy pulled away from his embrace, then smoothly changed out of his suit.
"All done."
Ivy instinctively patted his shoulder and turned to leave.
But Sebastian grabbed her wrist, pulling her back into his arms: "I forgive you for what happened that day."
In other words, he was suggesting they stop the cold war and make up.
What happened that day?
Thinking of it infuriated Ivy. How could he have the nerve to say that?
Clearly, he and Nina Shaw conspired to take her heart, yet he turned it around and claimed she upset him...
Clenching her fists, Ivy asked him, "Why did you marry me? Besides me being Ronnie’s mother, what other reason?"
Was it because you see me as a vessel for Nina Shaw’s heart?
Ivy couldn’t bring herself to ask such straightforward questions.
She feared a positive answer, and she feared him saying nothing at all!
Sebastian’s gaze suddenly darkened.
Pressing his tongue to his palate, he released Ivy, casually changing the subject: "It’s time."
Indeed, he was trying to hide the heart transplant operation from her!
Ivy was left feeling a deep desolation, her whole body trembling; when it came to being ruthless, she truly couldn’t compare to him...
"Go ahead by yourself, I have something to do."
Ivy didn’t want to appear with him, and after speaking, she walked off first.
Sebastian watched her retreating figure, his gaze heavy with intensity.
Why marry her?
He couldn’t clearly say either, but the thought of her being with another man stirred an inexplicable rage in his chest. Ivy could only be his woman!
Meanwhile.
Ivy ran out to catch her breath.
She bumped into Master Gard, who noticed she hadn’t changed into the apprenticeship banquet dress, his eyebrows furrowing: "Are you despising this old man? Not even changing into the apprenticeship banquet outfit..."
As he spoke, Master Gard fake-sobbed twice.
So heartbroken, the chosen apprentice actually despised him!
His words left Ivy bewildered, she wasn’t the one apprenticing, why should she change into an apprenticeship banquet dress?
Before Ivy could figure it out, Master Gard waved a hand: "Someone, take this girl to get made up and change her style!"
The apprentice he had set his sights on should only steal the show!
"Wait, sir, maybe there’s been a mistake..."
Before Ivy could finish speaking, someone grabbed her arm and whisked her onto the waiting nanny van.
Meanwhile.
Nina Shaw had already changed into the latest haute couture dress of the season, her makeup crafted by the best artist online, her whole presence exuding luxury.
She hadn’t even made her entrance, but the compliments already filled her ears.
"Miss Shaw, once you become Master Gard’s disciple, don’t forget about us."
"I have a no-limit shopping card here, Miss Shaw. Please do me the honor of accepting it. Anything you want to buy can be charged to my account, as long as I can get the chance to meet Master Gard."
Harrison Shaw was also by Nina’s side, and upon hearing these words, he waved his hand proudly: "Alright, alright, save those words until my daughter has completed her apprenticeship today."
"Oh, Mr. Shaw, you truly are fortunate to have nurtured such an outstanding daughter. We’re all so envious!"
The people around continued to flatter Harrison Shaw.
Harrison Shaw smiled contentedly and shook his head: "It’s nothing, it’s all thanks to Nina herself."
"Dad," at this moment, Nina stood up, took Harrison’s arm, and said, "It’s time, let’s go down."
The glorious moment of her life was about to arrive!
Nina’s heart was full of excitement, she couldn’t wait any longer...
