Chapter 154
Ivy was both surprised and delighted to see this. This happened to be her favorite dessert shop!
“Thank you, Pierce. Stay safe!”
Pierce motioned with his hands. “Goodbye, Pretty Lady!”
Trigg dashed over, waggling its tiny tail. “Goodbye, Pierce!”
Inside the car, Pierce cocked his head proudly. “Doesn’t Pretty Lady have a lovely face?”
The nanny couldn’t help but smile. “Yeah, she’s beautiful! She’s prettier than any woman who wants
to be close to your daddy!”
Pierce quietly nodded his little head and blinked his sapphire eyes.
The bearded bodyguard sat sternly in front of him. “I assumed I was supposed to go. I never even
got to meet her.”
The nanny gave him a sidelong nce. “If you go, you’ll scare the prettydy!”
Pierce approved with a nod. “Exactly!” The ferocious-looking bodyguard shrank in his seat even
more indignantly.
For a brief moment, Pierce frowned in thought. His delicate and adorable face bore a rare
expression of bafflement.
“We can’t keep sending the same gifts to her, so we’ll have to think about what to get her the next
time!”
“I thought of those gifts,” the bearded bodyguard muttered as he looked down and flipped the “Love
for Fools” page that he had just purchased.
Back at the hotel.
Marco picked up Pierce as hezily attempted to climb into bed.
“I heard you didn’t turn in your English homework to your teacher?” Marco’s voice had a distinct
coldness to it.
Pierce muttered angrily and pouted. He buried his head between his father’s thighs and hugged his
father’s legs.
“I’m too busy chasing after my prettydy, Daddy!”
“How are you going after her?”
“I bought her presents!”
Under Marco’s watchful eye, Pierce proudly told his father about all the gifts he had purchased for
Ivy.
When Marco heard about the white chrysanthemums and the chunky gold bracelet, he smiled and
chuckled as if he was restricting some emotion.
His earlier rage had dissipated entirely.
“Then best of luck!” Marco twirled Pierce’s hair in adoration.
If Ivy didn’t drive Pierce away, after all, those “gifts,” she was a very kind woman!
“Daddy, can I invite my prettydy to your dinner?” Pierce asked as Marco was about to leave the
room.
‘Dinner?’ Marco smirked. He then realized that Pierce was most likely referring to the business
dinner he was nning to host. He had only five people on his invitation list, so it was very private.
“If you want to,” Marco said matter-of-factly. He would not have allowed it if it had been someone
else, but she was the woman from three years ago. That was apletely different story.
This time, Marco’s project was gaining international attention. After all, it required a significant
amount of workforce and resources. This also needed a lot of connections to be a sess. As a
result, his every move was shrouded in secrecy.
Even his whereabouts remained a closely guarded secret.
However, there were several capable people in the city who held significant market positions, such
as Wyatt Reed. As a result, Wyatt Reed was just one of many possible partners.
Morgan Corporation’s capabilities wereparable to Reed Corporation’s, but Marco ignored them
because his butler had mentioned Morgan Corporation too many times.
Marco despised it when those around him infringed on their authority and tried to run thepany.
He didn’t care that his butler had been with him for over a decade if he crossed a line again.
Marco Seely ignored all Morgan Corporation appointment invitations for several days in a row.
Ivy was irritated and refused Wyatt’s invitation to attend Marco’s business dinner as his female
companion.
On the other hand, Wyatt kept asking her, saying that he was willing topete fairly with Morgan
Corporation.
‘Bullshit! How could Ipete if I couldn’t even get an invitation?’
When Ivy emerged from the office lobby, she noticed Pierce striking a cool pose against the side of
the van. His delicate little face drew a lot of admiration. His sapphire eyes glowed with life. He was
simply adorable.
‘This little charmer will undoubtedly be a heartbreaker when he grows up,’ Ivy predicted.
When Pierce saw Ivy, he ran over and hugged her legs, then rubbed his head against the side of
her thigh. His voice was soft and endearing. “I miss you so much, Pretty Lady.”
Ivyughed incoherently. Her heart softened. The sudden appearance of this little boy did not irritate
her in the least. Instead, she was ovee with an inexplicable affection for him.
“I miss you, Pierce.” Ivy knelt to speak with him and couldn’t help but lightly rub his curly hair. It was
so soft!
Pierce carried arge box with nobel and handed it to her. “Would you like toe to a party with
me today, Pretty Lady?”
Ivy was perplexed as she looked at him in awe.
“Which party?”
“It’s just a casual dinner. Dad said I could invite you.”
“Is your father also present?”
Even though they didn’t say much thest time they met, Ivy had a feeling Pierce’s father was not to
be dealt with.
Pierce nodded and looked at her impatiently with his big round eyes.
“There are others as well! I want to introduce you to all my friends!” he said with a smile.
‘I want everyone to know that Pretty Lady belongs to me!’
Ivy paused for a moment. She figured there was no harm in going because she had nowhere else
to go. She also assumed it was a children’s party. Not to mention that Pierce was so gracious to
invite her.
“All right, I’ll go back and change.”
Pierce enthusiastically pointed to the box in his hand.
“I chose a dress for you! When you wear it, you’ll look like a lovely fairy! You’re more beautiful than
a fairy!”
He had spent a long time selecting an evening gown after carefully considering the advice of his
nanny and bodyguard.
Ivy was taken aback for a moment.
She was awestruck by the lovely light-colored gown when she opened the box.
The gown’s garment had delicate stitches that seemed to reflect the light on closer inspection.
The reflection of the light created a different visual effect from a slightly different angle.
Even though Ivy couldn’t see the brand name, she could tell at a nce that this luxury custom-
made gown was the work of a skilled designer.
Ivy was taken aback and gazed admiringly at Pierce. “It’s absolutely stunning!”
With delight, Pierce proudly raised his chin. His smug expression was too endearing.
“Of course! I knew you’d like it!”
Ivy tousled Pierce’s hair. The little gentleman struggled to open the car door for her and even bowed
slightly as if he were a prince.
“Come on in, my princess.”
Ivyughed and entered the luxury van. She got a new name again.
The van’s interior wasvishly decorated, and it was surrounded by some expensive limited-edition
toys. This van was clearly intended for children.
‘Wow, Pierce is living the good life!’
The driver couldn’t see anything because a privacy screen separated him.
The car drove for about twenty minutes beforeing to a stop in front of the Hilton Hotel.
The surroundings were tranquil. There appeared to be a road closure because no cars wereing
or going.
The bodyguard at the entrance approached and was about to stop them, but when he saw Pierce
standing next to Ivy, he immediately became courteous again.
‘Wow, why are they being so strict for a children’s party?’ Ivy thought.
Pierce cheerfully took Ivy’s hand in his and entered. N?velDrama.Org content rights.
Ivy found a room where she could change into the gown that Pierce had made for her.
The long gown fit her slender figure perfectly and emphasized her body in all the right ces. She
appeared to be both elegant and noble. It was simply stunning!
Pierce’s eyes were filled with little hearts. He couldn’t take his gaze away from her. He cupped his
cheeks with both hands and stared at Ivy with his big, gleaming eyes.
“You’re stunning! I love you!”
Ivy couldn’t stopughing. She assumed he was just another little fanboy who was madly in love
with her.
“Well, I think you’re adorable!”
