    Chapter 89


    A series of ttering sounds came at an inappropriate time. Christopher usually disliked this sound the


    most.


    He found himself already irritable after not gaining any advantages from his visit to Olivia and the


    others.


    This sound was like a fuse, aggravating the irritation in his heart.


    Unable to control his irritation, he furrowed his brows and turned to look in the


    direction of the sound.


    He saw Ivy rushing to catch up with him.


    Ivy was well aware that Christopher disliked the sound of high heels. In fact, everyone in Levine Group


    knew that.


    In Levine Group, the entire floor of the CEO’s office was furnished with expensive soundproofing


    materials, all imported from Zosteylor.


    Men’s shoes were not a problem. Even if they were to step heavily on this type of flooring, it would not


    produce noise.


    However, women had to be more careful. When buying high heels, they must pay attention to the


    material and design of the heel.


    If anyone identally wore an inappropriate pair of shoes to work, she should stay at her office table


    as much as possible and avoid walking around. This was to prevent the CEO from confronting her for


    her bad choice.


    In Christopher’s eyes, Ivy had always been different from others. She was his savior and had been


    helping him at Levine Group ever since her return to the country. She had now be the director of


    Levine Group’s design department.


    Upon noticing Ivy’s embarrassed expression, he realized he had indeed gone too far.


    Christopher stopped in his tracks and waited for Ivy to catch up.


    Seeing this, Ivy’s mood improved instantly. She was even happier than seeing a rainbow after the rain.


    “Christopher, you were walking too fast, and I couldn’t keep up with you. I had to run.” She decided to


    exin herself even though she knew Christopher was not going to me her at all.


    Christopher remained silent and said nothing. He just nodded.

    When they arrived at the underground garage, they each got into the car separately. Ivy fastened her


    seatbelt and nced to the left.


    She could not hold back her feelings. It was as if she was going crazy.


    The once-distant long-distance calls now seemed more heartwarming. Even if not particrly sweet,


    they were warm enough tofort her.


    However, now that he was right in front of her, it did not feel the same as before.


    “The furthest distance is when I am right in front of you, and you do not know that I love you,’ Ivy


    thought. This thought kept hovering in her mind.


    However, it was not quite urate.


    Christopher had known her feelings for him for a long time.


    It was all just her making a fool of herself.


    She used to think she had lost to time and distance.


    However, it seemed that that was not the case.


    She had known him longer than Katherine, and she had also returned early.


    “Christopher, your behavior in the restaurant earlier was a bit unusual,” shemented tentatively.


    Startled by Ivy’s remark, Christopher hesitated for a moment. Undeniably, his behavior in the restaurant


    had indeed been unusual.


    He replied nonchntly, “I was just saying hello to an old friend.”


    If Olivia knew that Christopher regarded himself as “an old friend,” she would most probably roll her


    eyes.


    “I didn’t expect that girl to be the famous Inferno. It’s hard to tell.” This was Ivy’s honest opinion.


    However, after saying this, she had second thoughts. ‘Birds of a feather flock together. Katherine and


    Olivia; being ssmates and best friends… I assume Katherine’s legal skills are also extraordinary!


    Kimberly had always been a nightmare for her while growing up. No matter how hard Ivy tried, she


    could notpare to Kimberly.


    Some people were clearly more talented, yet they still worked so hard, so Ivy had no reason to bezy


    orcent.

    This was why she had been working hard all these years.


    Christopher sinctly replied, “Indeed.”


    There was not much conversation between them on the way.


    In the entire Levine family, Ivy got along well with everyone except Christopher.


    Two years ago, Ivy moved out of the Levine manor.


    Originally, her n was to marry into the Levine family.


    Unexpectedly, it did not go as she wished.


    What was more, Christopher rarely came back home, for he usually stayed at Osimor Residence.


    Living in the Levine manor subjected her to various restrictions, so she decided to


    move out.


    This move also had its advantages.


    On weekends, she could use the guise of visiting Maxwell to bring Christopher along.


    When they arrived at the Levine manor, Christopher went to y chess with Maxwell.


    Maxwell liked to y chess when he had free time, but Lilian did not know how to y. If Heather had


    time, she would apany him for a few rounds.


    Therefore, he always hoped that Christopher woulde back to y chess and have a heart-to-heart


    talk with him.


    Ivy naturally apanied Lilian and Heather to enjoy the cool weather in the yard. It was early


    autumn, yet it was still a little warm.


    Lilian shook a fan with a de pattern in her right hand, which was reminiscent of the steel fans of


    Kitana from Mortal Kombat.


    Ivy took over the fan and carefully fanned Lilian, making her happy.


    Maxwell paused for a moment while holding a chess piece halfway in the air. He asked thoughtfully,


    “That girl, Ivy, has been infatuated with you for years. You’re eventually going to settle down and start a


    family.”


    Being pressured into marriage again disrupted Christopher’s thoughts. He was ustomed to making


    his own decisions and did not favor the sudden interference, which left him feeling rather displeased.

    This was why he was reluctant to visit the Levine manor frequently.


    He nced at Maxwell for a few seconds and then refocused on the chessboard.


    Silence was Christopher’s signature move.


    Maxwell was a smart man himself, so he naturally understood Christopher’s feelings after seeing his


    actions.


    “Don’t give her fantasies since you have no intentions. Let’s get it straight. If a woman develops


    resentment due to love, it can be disastrous.” It was indeed true that wisdom came with age.


    Christopher would realize how prescient Maxwell’s advice was in the future.


    Lilian had the habit of taking a nap every day. She would go and take a nap not long after.


    Ivy was so bored that she ran to the study and decided to challenge Maxwell to a few games of chess.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Ivy was a diligent girl with talents in various fields, including the five fine arts.

    She knew that Maxwell enjoyed ying chess, so she had even taken chess lessons to be able to


    bond with him.


    As they yed, Ivy acted like an advisor to Maxwell, breathing life back into the game whenever it


    seemed to be nearing a stalemate.


    Deep in thought, Maxwell considered Ivy, realizing that she was a good girl. However, Christopher was


    not interested in her.


    However, Maxwell had some close friends with children of a simr age to Christopher, and he


    wondered if he could be Cupid and help Ivy find a suitable partner.
