Chapter 181
Wyatt’s gaze was slightly trembling as he sat there, his chest heaving.
‘Has everything I’ve painstakingly prepared been squandered by this child’s handful of diamonds?!
How did Marco Seely end up with such a renegade son?!’
Ivy appeared stunned and at a loss for words.
These diamonds should have been carefully stored in a safe, but Pierce carried them around in his
pocket likemon marbles. She chuckled and looked helplessly at this ignorant and naive Pierce.
“You should return these to their original ce. It’s not something I can ept.”
Pierce twisted his petite frame and pouted inconsbly. “Pretty Lady, you don’t like it?” he snatched
Ivy’s hand and inquired. “I’ve got bigger ones!”
Ivy was rendered speechless once more. ‘How am I going to exin this to a child?’
She chuckled and stuffed it into her purse.
“I adore it, but please do not give it away in this manner again.”
Ivy would simply hand it back to Marco the next time they crossed paths.
Pierce beams with joy upon learning that Ivy epted his gift.
‘It’s no wonder the nanny said this couldn’t possibly go wrong!’ Pierce smiled as he cocked his
head. “All right, Pretty Lady, I’ll listen to you. I’ll do better the next time! Men cannot be excessively
frugal, don’t you believe, Whiner Mister?”
Wyatt’s lips were pressed tightly into a straight line. He radiated ice-cold vibes.
‘Is this small child mocking me?! I purchased this restaurant for Ivy and intended to name it after
her, but I am unable to do so at the moment. I’ve be petty?! Ugh!’
Pierce felt a sense of aplishment when he was able to enrage Wyatt.
‘Even though Whiner Mister is injured, it does not change my negative opinion of him! He’s simply a
bad guy out to steal my prettydy!’
Wyatt was so enraged that he was unable to speak another word. This little brat ruined an
otherwise pleasant atmosphere.
All the conversation starters Jimmy prepared for him were rendered ineffective in the face of this
colossal third wheel. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Ivy was in a good mood when the dishes were served and cheerfully assisted Pierce with his te.
They got along so well.
Ivy was extremely patient with children, particrly one who was so adorable that he naively gave
her a handful of diamonds.
Wyatt fixed his cold gaze on the two of them. After a while, he could no longer take it and spoke.
“Ivy, I’m feeling a little down.”
Wyatt reasoned that it was preferable to say it aloud rather than suppress it. Additionally, Jimmy
informed him that honesty was the most critical aspect of a rtionship between two people. He
was, in fact, quite upset. Ivy would direct her attention to him if everything went ording to n.
After a brief silence, Ivy looked at him gravely and smiled, “Then keep it to yourself because we’re
both delighted.”
Wyatt’s unhappiness would only serve to dampen their otherwise pleasant mood!
Wyatt remained speechless and could hear the sound of his weak heart copsing.
Pierce grinned merrily.
Ivy and Wyatt escorted Pierce back to the hotel following dinner. During the journey, the boy dozed
off and curled up in Ivy’s arms like a cute kitten.
Marco Seely was standing in front of the hotel, waiting for them.
Heughed helplessly as he reached out to carry the sleeping boy. “I apologize for the
inconvenience, Ms. Morgan.”
“Certainly not. Pierce is so adorable and didn’t cause us any problems!” Ivy spoke with a smile on
her face.
Wyatt, who was driving, rolled his eyes and thought, ‘That kid is going to be my biggest headache
tonight!’
Marco’s eyes shone with a glint. His grin widened.
“Oh? That’s excellent news.”
“Also, this is for you...”
Ivy took out the handful of diamonds Pierce had given her earlier.
In the dim light, the diamonds glowed. It embodied opulence.
“Pierce took these out. He is still unaware of the value of these items, so you may return them.”
Marco arched his brow. His lips curled into a warm smile.
“That’s fine. It is yours because he gave it to you. If I return it, he will almost certainly disown me.”
Following that, Marco greeted Wyatt with a slight nod. “I’ll return upstairs then. Mr. Reed, Ms.
Morgan, I want to express my gratitude for returning him.”
Marco brushed aside Ivy’s surprise and escorted Pierce away.
Wyatt refused to acknowledge his gratitude and grunted coldly, oblivious to them.
Ivy became immobile for a brief moment. She kept the handful of diamonds silently.
‘So... Marco is responsible for Pierce’s prodigal tendencies?!’
Ivy felt terrible about receiving a smattering of diamonds for no reason. She sat in the backseat with
Wyatt while Bill and the driver sat in the front.
Wyatt closed his eyes, but he exuded a chilling aura. He did notment.
Ivy was suddenly reminded that Wyatt had asked her to sample the dishes, but she declined to
provide feedback. “In fact, the chef at this restaurant is quite good,” she said with a slight cough.
The ingredients are unquestionably of the highest quality. What are your thoughts?”
Wyatt cocked his brow slightly. His expression softened slightly. “I’m d you enjoy it.”
Ivy sighed in relief. After all, she could not simply eat a free meal and enrage him in the process.
She regarded Bill in the rearview mirror.
“Bill, what are your thoughts?”
“Wee, Mr. Reed!” Jimmy smiled as he greeted him.
“Ms. Morgan, Mr. Reed, you’ve returned at longst! I was concerned that the dinner would interfere
with your beauty sleep, so I prepared some floral tea to aid digestion.”
He advanced to take Ivy’s shoes, praising his homemade tea.
The three male doctors felt strangely nervous and stiff upon seeing Wyatt’s glum face and cold
gaze.
Ivy grinned. “Okay. Allow me to change first. I’ll returnter. You guys can go upstairs for the
examination,” she said gently to the three doctors. Bill, please apany Mr. Reed.”
Bill nodded and was about to cross when Wyatt intervened.
“I want you,” he said, looking at Ivy.
Ivy gave him a sneering look.
‘He has an uncanny ability to boss me around!’
Jimmy approached her. “You should apany Mr. Reed, Ms. Morgan.”
Ivy was rendered speechless.
Wyatt cast a cold nce at Bill and felt stuffy in his chest. “Then have Jimmy prepare some dinner
for you.”
‘Jimmy?!’ Bill pressed his lips together. “That is unnecessary.”
Bill would rather die of starvation than be irritated by Jimmy’s constant chattering.
Wyatt’s legs remained immobile. Only a month had passed since the ident. Wyatt’s full mobility
would take several months to regain.
While the attending physician instructed the apanying doctors to prepare the instruments,
Wyatt removed his shirt to reveal his strong, lean upper body. The doctor thoroughly examined his
heart and lungs. Then they cut open his pants to ascertain his condition. Then they cut open his
pants to assess his right leg’s recovery.
Ivy averted her gaze subconsciously during the examination. Wyatt grabbed Ivy’s arm and said
softly, “You cannot leave. Stay with me.”
Ivy turned her back on him a split secondter. “All right. Let it go.”
The three doctors exchanged nces and dared not speak a word.
Wyatt had no intention of relinquishing Ivy and regarded the attending physician.
“Continue.”
The attending physician pressed his lips together. “We can draw the curtains...”
This room was initially designed to filter sunlight from various angles throughout the day.
The gauze curtains were lightweight and convenient, and they could be used to conceal Ivy from
Wyatt.
The attending physician was unprepared for Wyatt to re at him sternly in response to his
proposal.
“Yes, put it down now,” Ivy said immediately. “Bill…”
