That night.
Edwin Blake successfully picked up Isla Sutton, and after dinner, when faced with her plea, he instinctively refused.
He couldn't help but think.
Ivy River is acting so strange today. It's already eleven o'clock, why hasn't she urged me to go home yet!
But the next second he came to his senses, they were already divorced...
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said goodbye to Isla Sutton and drove home as fast as he could.
Seeing that the familiar car was not in the yard, a wave of panic and anxiety surged in his heart.
Edwin Blake pushed open the door and called out loudly, "Ivy River!"
The only response was the echo in the house.
Looking around, there was a letter and a Black Card on the table.
This was his secondary card, given to Ivy River when they got married.
Edwin Blake opened the letter, and the elegant handwriting immediately caught his eye.
[Dear President Blake,
The items I brought with me three years ago have been dealt with, as has the card. Please handle the items you purchased yourself, thank you.
Ivy River.]
Her handwriting, stroke by stroke, seemed to declare her resolute decision to leave.
Edwin Blake anxiously went upstairs to see that the things he bought for Ivy River were neatly arranged.
On the contrary, all the shabby luggage and rough, worn clothes she brought from the countryside were taken away, not leaving a single piece behind.
He knew Ivy River would leave, but he didn't expect it to be so soon!
Suppressing his anger, Edwin Blake called his assistant, "Where did Ivy River go?"
Harry Ross, still groggy from being woken up, instinctively replied, "Didn't you divorce Mrs. Blake? She came back in the afternoon and left with her suitcase."
Glancing at the time, it was midnight!
Not lamenting three years of longing to Isla Sutton in the middle of the night, but calling him to ask about his ex-wife!
Edwin Blake questioned, "What did you say?"
Harry Ross now fully awake, gently slapped himself.
"CEO, Uncle Lee told me in the afternoon, after you left, Madam returned home, took her suitcase, and left. She even specifically told Uncle Lee to drink less, as he's getting older and his body couldn't handle it."
"No more?"
"No more…"
Harry Ross was speechless. What else do you want to hear, shall I make something up for you?
Hearing this result, Edwin Blake was stunned and hung up the phone, dazed.
The morning's ruined condom after a passionate embrace, and by the afternoon, you ran away!
Heartless and disloyal scumbag!
Even Uncle Lee gets a farewell, why can't I get any concern!
Ivy River! You better pray I don't catch you, or I'll make you pay!
…
Five years later.
In a renowned research institute abroad.
Ivy River was busy with her head down when she heard Leon Peterson's thunderous voice:
"Boss, your little rascal has beaten up a classmate in kindergarten again! Can't you manage him? Every time something like this happens, it's always me who resolves it, it's embarrassing."
Ivy River rubbed her temples, sincere, "I tried to manage."
But I can't control him, what can I do?
"You tried, fine, Director Woods wants to see you in his office."
Leon Peterson sighed deeply and turned, resigned, to leave.
"Ah!"
Ivy River exclaimed and resignedly went to the office, knocked, pushed the door open, and fawningly said, "Master, you were looking for me?"
If nothing unexpected happened, Fatty probably caused trouble again…
Lucas Woods stroked his rare white beard, "Do you know!"
"I know, I know, Master, I know you're anxious, but don't worry, what if you hurt your health?"
"If I catch that little rascal of yours, I'll definitely give him a beating! I especially came to take care of him with these old bones of mine, and he cut my beard! Even poured honey on my head, is there any justice left!"
Lucas Woods, at this moment, was like a resentful woman, lacking the demeanor of the head of a top traditional Chinese medicine family back in the day.
When Ivy River had just given birth and her work began to pick up, she couldn't manage both childcare and her career.
He pitied the child and didn't trust nannies, so he dropped everything to come over with his wife to help take care of the two little ones.
Ivy River, upon divorce, went directly overseas to enhance her medical skills.
Thus, she delved into the relentless research of herbal medicine.
But soon enough, she found herself very sleepy.
Thinking about the photos Edwin Blake had sent of the damaged condom, and combining it with her symptoms.
She knew, she was pregnant.
That damned man, hit the mark with one shot, how was the success rate so high!
She couldn't bear to abort the child.
Moreover, it was twins.
So, she decided to shed the father and keep the children!
When the children were born, the brother weighed ten pounds, while the sister was just over four pounds and stayed in the incubator for a while.
At that time, she was furious, feeling that the son had absorbed all the sister's nutrients.
In her anger, she nicknamed the brother Fatty and the sister Emmy.
Their formal names were Vincent River and Elsa River.
The two children were a blessing from heaven to Ivy River.
At only four years old, their intelligence was off the charts.
Fatty frequently remotely controlled to kindly help the institute power outage, aiming to remind Ivy River, it was time to go home and rest.
Emmy, on the other hand, seized the moment to shed little pearls, perfectly demonstrating the arts of being pampered, making a fuss, and throwing tantrums in three steps, and inherited an extraordinarily high talent in traditional Chinese medicine. At three years old, she could identify hundreds of herbs, a prodigy in herself.
However, these two kids have a common deficit: sticky to Ivy River.
"Okay, okay, wrong! Leon Peterson went to pick him up, later I'll have Fatty kneel down and apologize to you!"
Ivy River massaged his shoulders, and with a change of tone, "The Dark Web sent a message; someone is offering three hundred million, asking me to return home for a diagnosis. Do you miss home? If not, would you watch the kids for two more months for me?"
Director Woods was comfortably massaged and nodded in satisfaction.
"Going home? Sure, your master's wife also misses me. I have been here for more than half a year, Ivy, you've pretty much concluded your academic research. Traditional Chinese medicine is vast and profound, returning home is more advantageous for your future development. Besides, Leon Peterson has nearly arranged things domestically, I think you can take the little ones back together."
Ivy River froze, not speaking.
She wanted her master to help her watch the kids, while she went back to handle things.
Even though she knew domestically was more suitable for her development.
But the children were her weak point, she was willing to abandon everything for them.
"Girl, I know what you're worried about. Behind you stands the Woods Family, and you yourself are not lacking; no need to fear. Fatty and Emmy will never abandon you to seek Edwin Blake. You must believe in yourself, you can protect them."
"Moreover, Emmy's exceptional talent in traditional Chinese medicine, it's more beneficial for you and the little girl's development domestically? When you sought me back then, did I strip you of your passion for traditional medicine?"
"And, Edwin Blake's first love returned, can't they have children? And don't forget, you two had a contractual marriage, there were no feelings for you."
Lucas Woods couldn't help but nag, causing Ivy River's head to swell.
However, he wasn't wrong, possibly Edwin Blake had already remarried and had children.
Isla Sutton wouldn't become a stepmother.
After being stunned for a while, Ivy River pressed her lips, "Alright then, let's take Fatty and Emmy back home together."
When Leon Peterson brought the two little ones in, they heard the good news.
Fatty ran around the room joyfully, with a barely noticeable charming smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Oh yay, my good mummy, you're finally taking us back home!"
