CHAPTER 828: CHAPTER 515: MOTHER-IN-LAW VS. ISLA LINTON

James Yinley was caught off guard, saying things that he didn’t mean to say.

After Ivy Miller finished speaking, she paused for a moment before asking, "Why aren’t you saying anything? Did my words scare you?

Or are you also very concerned about this matter? Would you give up on Isla Linton because of this?"

"I’m just wondering why she has to bear so much on her own.

Why doesn’t she tell me these things? Perhaps I wouldn’t even mind."

Listening to James Yingley’s words, his image in Ivy Miller’s heart grew even taller.

This man is indeed a good man.

"You know, I can understand Isla Linton’s reservations. Not everyone is as open-minded.

You say you don’t mind now, but five or ten years later, when there are still no children around you, you will inevitably feel some resentment, right?

Isla is just trying to prevent you from having regrets in the future.

She is a traditional woman who cares about such things.

Now that her health is like this, she naturally can’t accept it."

James Yinley was somewhat helpless: "If both of you say this, what more can I say?

Anyway, you always prioritize your thoughts without considering my feelings."

"The speculation five or ten years from now is something I said might very likely exist.

Haven’t you thought about how to help Isla Linton dispel these concerns?

You need to know, you yourself are a very charming man, and in the future, many women will naturally be drawn to you.

Can you imagine the pressure Isla would face if she couldn’t even have a child for you?"

James Yinley nodded: "From now on, I’ll really consider this matter seriously."

"James, honestly, I really think you’re a real man.

Let me tell you, Isla certainly doesn’t want you to know about this matter.

But her intentions are good, and I accompanied her to see the doctor and take the medicine.

She definitely hopes her illness can be cured too.

During this time, if you notice her taking herbal medicine secretly, just pretend you didn’t see anything.

Give her some time, time for her body to recover."

"I understand, Ivy. If one day I manage to bring Isla back, I will certainly thank you, this little girl."

Ivy Miller laughed heartily, "I beg you, hurry up and win her back.

You have no idea, I’m really scared she’ll charm my husband away."

In fact, she was joking, trying to ease James Yinley’s tension.

James Yinley said seriously, "So, you need to cooperate well with me. Only if you cooperate, can I bring her back earlier, right?"

"Alright, alright, I get it. You’re the type who always climbs the ladder upwards.

Jokes aside, my husband doesn’t know about this matter, I hope you can keep it a secret."

"Letting him know wouldn’t benefit me, so I won’t say anything."

Afterward, James Yinley would call Ivy Miller every day, asking her to help find excuses for Isla Linton to let him stay over.

Ivy Miller’s mind is really something, always coming up with endless excuses every day.

When it comes to finding reasons, Henry Sullivan only admires his own wife.

"You just say you have a slight headache tonight, then act like you faint after dinner."

After dinner, Ivy Miller lay on the sofa, crossed her legs, and suggested ideas while eating an apple.

James Yinley worried a bit, "Wouldn’t this seem a bit too delicate?"

"If she loves you, whatever you do, she’ll think you’re manly anyway."

Although it’s hard to believe, Ivy Miller never failed him with her ideas over these past days.

So this time, James Yinley chose to trust her with a bit of doubt.

After the two finished chatting and hung up the phone, Henry Sullivan, who was pretending to read the newspaper, put it down and looked at her.

"Don’t you think he’s been contacting you too frequently lately?"

"He’s just asking for advice, it’s quite normal."

Henry Sullivan shook his head, "Can’t he ask for multiple days at once? Why does he have to bother you every day? I can hardly stand it."

"Let me tell you, Uncle, you should stop being jealous for no reason.

James Yinley is truly open and honest with me, his heart is entirely focused on Isla Linton.

He’s even aware that Isla might not be able to con... hiccup," Ivy Miller was startled, nearly letting the secret slip.

Henry Sullivan looked at her, "What, why didn’t you finish?"

"Oh, suddenly my throat feels a little scratchy, I’ll go get some water."

She stood up to pour water, grateful for narrowly stopping herself in time.

This mustn’t be known by Henry, Ivy needs to be extra cautious.

Henry Sullivan glanced at her odd behavior and shook his head without saying anything more.

Ivy Miller felt she narrowly avoided a crisis.

On Friday, while bored, she invited Isla out once again.

This time, Isla cooperated, responding to a call and coming out promptly.

Last time, she had to persuade Isla for a long time before she managed to drag her out.

The two agreed to meet at the mall entrance, as Ivy wanted to buy some outfits for White.

She arrived first, while Isla was a few minutes late after taking a taxi.

Upon seeing Ivy, Isla hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, Ivy. I was closer than you but still showed up late."

"It’s okay. I understand. Isn’t James Yinley at your place?

Even if you suddenly couldn’t make it, I wouldn’t complain."

Ivy Miller laughed cheekily as she spoke.

Isla Linton was surprised, "How do you know he’s at my place?"

"I just guessed."

What guesswork, she just received a call from James Yinley.

The man scolded her for more than ten minutes, complaining how he finally managed to stay by Isla’s side, day and night, only for Ivy to call her away.

Hearing his grievances, Ivy genuinely felt a bit guilty.

But it’s not Isla’s fault for not mentioning it.

Also, he used to spend only one night each time; who would have thought he’d stay for the entire day today?

She too was innocent, okay?

However, she was foolish; given how readily Isla agreed, she should’ve sensed something was up.

"Isla, let’s go inside. I’m going on a shopping spree today, buying everything."

"Sure!"

The two entered the mall together, with Ivy focused and heading straight to the infant section on the sixth floor.

In the coming days, she plans to continue dressing White beautifully.

She bought quite a few outfits, and Isla chose two sets herself as gifts for Ivy’s child.

Although Ivy had said not to buy anything, Isla insisted, and Ivy couldn’t refuse.

Because Isla said, "This is just a small gesture.

If White grows up, she’ll surely call me Auntie.

Can’t I give her even a single outfit?

Or do you not fancy the clothes I pick?"

Her words reached this point, leaving Ivy with no choice but to accept.

After purchasing, the two went downstairs to the VIP lounge for a break and a coffee.

But upon entering, Ivy regretted not checking her horoscope before going out.

The horoscope likely would’ve said today is not suitable for going out.

Because once in the lounge, they ran into Isla’s mother-in-law and Florence Wilder, her mother-in-law’s ideal choice for her son’s wife.
