Chapter 1645


    There were no missed calls or unread messages.


    No one from Aryadelle was looking for him. He felt slightly disappointed and sorrowful.


    He had been in Ylore for a day and a night. Did Elliot not care about him at all? Even if he did not about him, did he not care


    about Ivy as well?


    He went into the bathroom to wash his face and walked out of his room to find Ruby ying with her daughter in the living room.


    Ivy wasying in her crib with eyes wide open as Ruby swung a toy above her.


    It was a heart-warming sight to wake up to. "Ben, you are awake!" Ruby noticed Ben and immediately set the toy down. "I told


    the nanny to make some soup. Why don''t you have some?"


    "Where is Paul?" Ben walked over to the crib to look at Ivy.


    Ivy was as adorable and innocent as she was the day before. If it wasn''t for the scent of alcohol still lingering on him, he would


    have held her.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    "| asked the driver to send Paul backst night," she said. "He doesn''t live with me."


    "Oh... You could have tried dating him. | heard that he likes you."


    "Ben, Elliot told you toe here, didn''t he? You won''t admit it, but | can tell." Ruby forced a sheepish smile. "You told me to


    change Ivy''s family name and to not bring her to Aryadelle yesterday. | agreed to that and today, you start asking me to marry


    Paul before even having your breakfast.”


    Ben scratched his head awkwardly. "He really didn''t send me. I''m just here to see the kid."


    "If that''s what you want, you can see lvy, but you didn''t have to try and convince me to marry Paul. You speak as though | am


    desperate to get married.”


    "Ruby, that''s not what | meant. | just meant that it''s okay if you marry another man. There’s no point in you wasting your youth on


    Elliot. He has three children with Avery, and even without taking Avery into consideration, he would never choose you over his


    three children," said Ben, reasoning with her.


    "| get it."


    "Also... Wouldn''t raising Ivy get in the way of you trying to find a partner in the future? " Ben said. "I can take Ivy with me. You are


    wee toe see her anytime you want."


    No matter how well Ruby had been at masking her emotions before, she could not help but lose her temper at this moment.


    "| have been friendly >e!


    Ben nced at the vicious-looking bodyguards next to him and immediately went back to his room to pack.


    After exiting Ruby''s mansion, he nced at the time. He had wanted to call Elliot and tell him about his trip, but he refrained


    as it waste at night in Aryadelle.


    Desperately wanting to share his experiences, he sent Elliot a message.


    [I just tested Ruby by asking her if | can take Ivy with me so that she could start fresh. Damn, she literally exploded!]
