CHAPTER 520: CHAPTER 520: GIVING IT OUR ALL TO MAKE A BABY GIRL

Ivana thought about all the hardships Nicole had suffered, and her eyes began to well up, but she had to hold back in front of the little girl.

"Nicole’s awake?" she said with a smile, "Have some milk first!"

"Aunt Ivana, I don’t want milk. I miss Mommy. Has Uncle Howard rescued Mommy yet?"

As Nicole spoke, tears began to flow from her red eyes.

She desperately wanted Ivana to tell her that her mommy was rescued and would soon come to see her.

How Ivana wished she could tell her that?

But she couldn’t lie to Nicole.

"Uncle Howard is doing his best. I’m sure it won’t be long before he brings Nicole’s mommy back."

After Howard Yeats brought Nicole over, he told her everything.

Ivana was very surprised at the time. That bastard Samuel Lockwood, since they were divorced, he should have parted peacefully. On what grounds did he hurt Ivy like that? And even harm poor Nicole like this.

Ivana was furious.

If Leon Keane wasn’t lying in a hospital bed right now, she would have gone with Howard when he left, to catch that bastard Samuel and teach him a lesson.

That bastard, he’s the worst.

Nicole’s tears fell more fiercely.

Timmy got anxious: "Nicole, don’t cry, don’t cry. Uncle Howard is so capable, Aunt Linden will definitely be okay."

Ivana put down the milk in her hand, pulled a few napkins, and gently wiped the tears off Nicole’s small face: "Actually, it was your dad who took your mommy away."

She originally didn’t want to tell Nicole. What child would want to see their father do such a thing to their mother in the middle of the night?

But if she didn’t say anything, Nicole would remain in a state of anxious fear.

"Dad took Mommy away?"

Nicole was shocked.

"Yes, that’s right! So, Nicole, don’t worry too much. Stay here with Aunt Ivana and play with the two little brothers. Once your mommy and daddy work things out, your mommy will come to pick you up."

Nicole shook her head: "No, Dad wouldn’t do that to Mommy, he’s a bad person. Aunt Ivana, you must have it wrong, he’s not my dad, he’s a bad person."

Ivana felt heartbroken. To every child, a father is a great and loving figure. No child wants to think of their father as a bad person.

Nicole was the same way.

Ivana gently hugged Nicole, careful not to touch her back: "Nicole, it was indeed your dad that night. He’s not a bad person, he was just forced to take such actions."

Samuel Lockwood was a jerk, a bastard, but Ivana wouldn’t speak ill of him in front of Nicole. She didn’t want his actions to hurt Nicole’s young heart again.

Making up an "involuntary" excuse for Samuel was purely for Nicole’s mental and physical well-being.

The mistakes Samuel made should not be borne by this little girl.

"Is that so?"

Nicole asked confusedly.

"Yes, that’s right."

Ivana nodded, touched the girl’s smooth cheek, and gently said: "Can Nicole drink milk now? If Nicole gets skinny while staying with Aunt Ivana, won’t your mommy be upset when she comes to get you?"

"Aunt Ivana, I want to drink milk, I’m so hungry."

Ivana smiled, handed the milk to Nicole, and the little girl drank it all with big gulps.

Leon Keane lay on the hospital bed, turning his handsome face to watch his wife skillfully comfort the child, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Maybe it was because he already had two sons, but when he saw other little girls, he really wanted to have a baby girl with Ivana too.

Why hasn’t there been any news from Ivana’s belly? Is he not trying hard enough?

Leon tapped his fingers lightly on the hospital bed, a soft sound echoing. He needed to get well quickly!

Once he’s better, he’ll fully devote himself to having a baby girl with Ivana.

~

In Westmere, the city closest to Ravenswood among all the cities, it’s not as prosperous as Ravenswood but still quite developed, having now become a new tier 1.5 city.

In a villa in the suburbs.

Ivy Linden was tied hand and foot, thrown onto the bed.

She stared with reddened eyes, having not slept all night, looking at the familiar bed and room that was once her and Samuel’s cozy "nest" for leisure and vacation, now turned into her prison.

The room door opened.

Ivy closed her eyes, not wanting to see Samuel’s ugly, despicable face.

"Still asleep until now, are you a pig or pretending to be dead?"

This voice didn’t belong to Samuel, it was a woman’s.

Ivy opened her eyes and saw Scarlett Lawrence.

This girl wasn’t from Arden? How was she here?

"Surprised to see me here?"

Seeing the shock in Ivy’s eyes, Scarlett gave a smug smile.

"You and Samuel are in it together?"

Besides being in cahoots, Ivy really couldn’t fathom any other reason for Scarlett to be here.

"Haha... you’re not stupid, at least. You figured it out so quickly. I thought you would foolishly beg for help, pleading with me to let you go!"

Disappointed, Scarlett had her insults ready but no opportunity to use them.

"You and Samuel went through all the trouble to capture me here. Even if I begged you, you wouldn’t have the authority to release me." Ivy was very aware, but there was one thing she couldn’t figure out.

She looked at Scarlett: "I have no enmity with you. Why are you risking breaking the law to do this with Samuel?"

Scarlett was surprised: "Lawbreaking? What lawbreaking have I done? It was your husband who brought you here. I did nothing. Besides, a runaway wife being brought back by her husband doesn’t seem illegal, does it?"

"I divorced Samuel."

"Divorced?" Scarlett frowned. No wonder Ivy dared to flirt with Howard Yeats; this shameless woman: "What does that have to do with me? I’m not interested in your marriage."

"What are you interested in?"

She was interested in Howard Yeats.

Scarlett looked at Ivy with hatred: "Don’t try to get words out of me. I’ve had enough of you. I only came here with your husband to see how he deals with you, you hussy.

Dislike her?

Why dislike her?

Ivy saw the anger bursting in Scarlett’s eyes as if she had taken away something dear to her.

Ivy suddenly thought of someone... Howard Yeats.

When she was in Arden, she seemed to have seen Scarlett appear several times in front of Howard.

Could it be that Scarlett liked Howard? And for that reason, hated her?

The jealousy of women is truly terrifying.

Ivy suddenly laughed: "Howard doesn’t like calculating women. He likes simple, kind women."

Scarlett’s expression changed dramatically, feeling like slapping Ivy: "And you think you’re simple? Kind? Ivy Linden, you’re just a shameless bitch. What gives you the right to call me calculating?"
