Chapter 46: 47. Love at First Sight

“Bianca Aretha!” Sienna Harrison was angry but couldn’t help but soften upon seeing the adorable face in her arms, unable to lash out, “That uncle isn’t suitable!”

“But I think he’s quite suitable, he’s very handsome!” The little one spoke while blinking her clear big eyes, which resembled Ivy Aretha’s, at the triumphant Jaysen Smith, “But don’t be too smug, Uncle. Although I agree with you, I don’t approve of your method, so step aside. We need to supervise the battle!”

Jaysen Smith: “…”

Elsewhere, Ivy Aretha elegantly sipped on the red wine that Michael Gordon had ordered while a faint smile spread across her face, “Mr. Gordon, the show is over. Pay the bill and you can leave!”

Seeing Ivy eating elegantly and giving orders naturally, Michael Gordon couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye. This woman really had a strong taste and guts, daring to order him to pay and to leave.

“Acting?” Michael’s face completely darkened, “Are you sure you can afford an actor of my caliber?”

“Are you expensive?”

Ivy didn’t even glance at him, simply continuing to enjoy her red wine and the steak that was served. Her nonchalant words seemed to come from someone else’s mouth.

Heh.

Was he not expensive or was she?

But with her looks and talent, being the top entertainer in Allure International would indeed be expensive. But no matter how expensive, who could be more expensive than him?

Suddenly, as if realizing something, Michael smirked, “Actually, I’m quite cheap!”

Before Ivy could react, Michael paused and then continued, “So besides acting with you, I can also accompany you to dinner. And if you’re still not satisfied, I can accompany you to sleep!!”

The words “sleep” were heavily bitten into her ear.

Hearing the word “sleep,” Ivy’s elegant smile couldn’t hold up any longer, “Michael Gordon, don’t think that just because you’re my boss, you can harass me at will. If I’m unhappy, I can resign. I guarantee you’ll never find a legal consultant who can do secretarial work like me again!”

Never find another? Michael carefully chewed on those words. Indeed, he wouldn’t be able to find another woman as stubborn and strong-willed as her. It had been a long time since he felt such a strong interest in a woman, he couldn’t even remember when it had started. Since he was already interested, he decided to continue.

“If you can resign, then go ahead and do it!” Michael laughed while casually pouring himself a glass of red wine. Then he clinked it against her wine glass, which she hadn’t moved. “I can harass you even if I’m not your boss, but if you’re not an employee of Allure International, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to get such a high salary!”

Michael carefully savored the wine, then lazily leaned back in the leather dining chair, looking completely at ease. Ivy didn’t need to look at him to know that he was in a good mood.

Heh.

This man was really taking her for granted!

“You’re not leaving?!” Ivy stood up and coldly stared at him, “Then I’ll leave. Mr. Gordon, please enjoy someone else’s blind-date feast!”

Blind-date feast? Young Master Gordon found these three words extremely displeasing!

The fiery rage that just started burning was quickly suppressed by a soft voice.

“Oh my, Auntie Ivy, is this your blind date?”

Auntie Ivy? Ivy was so stunned by this thunderous title that she couldn’t move her feet. She looked up and saw the little one in her sight.

Bianca Aretha walked over with her tiny legs, looking extremely elegant. The pure white skirt accentuated her already beautiful appearance, making her look like an imported foreign doll. Behind her were Sienna Harrison, whose eyes were black-lined, and Jaysen Smith, wearing a shallow smile.

“Baby, your auntie doesn’t approve of this blind date at all, so can we go home now, alright?” Ivy said as she picked up Bianca.

“What’s not to like? Baby thinks it’s quite good!”

Bianca eyed Ivy angrily with her round, big eyes, her delicate face displaying an unhappy pout. She looked so cute that Michael’s heart softened and he couldn’t help but want to kiss her.

“Since baby thinks Uncle is quite good, will you give Uncle a hug?” With that, Michael stretched his arms towards the child.

Ivy was shocked by his natural movement, causing her to instinctively step back with Bianca in her arms.

The distance between the outstretched hands of Michael and Ivy increased, his beautiful brows furrowed as he focused on Ivy’s hands holding the child.

“Uncle, I want you to hold me!” Bianca’s big eyes flickered between Michael and Ivy before choosing to tell the truth. The only thing missing was her calling out for mommy.

Feeling her heart race, Ivy eyed Michael. This was technically the first time they properly met, aside from the time when the little one had secretly glimpsed him from the balcony. Her daughter already liked him so much and didn’t even care about Ivy’s feelings. Was this the so-called blood bond?

Would the little one, upon learning that he was her father, simply pack up her things and move into his house? Thinking about this, Ivy’s grip on Bianca tightened involuntarily.

“Uncle is just holding me, I won’t run away with him!” The little one seemed to understand Ivy’s worry. Despite not knowing why Ivy was so concerned, she whispered in her ear, “Don’t worry, baby will always be mommy’s!”

Ivy looked at those eyes blinking pitifully, unable to bring herself to refuse. The next moment, she took a step closer to Michael, still holding on to Bianca.

With a stretch of her little arms, Bianca was quickly scooped up by Michael. Her soft, tiny frame filled the empty embrace he had harbored for so long, just as it had filled the emptiness in his heart all along.

Sometimes, he wondered if there were any unforgettable memories within the lost time. Otherwise, why couldn’t the countless women in his life fill up the emptiness deep within his heart?

He never thought that a stranger’s child could fill his empty heart so completely, like a long-lost rib returning to its proper place.

“Little baby, what’s your name?” Michael couldn’t help but lower his head and plant a kiss on her chubby cheek.

“My name’s Bianca!” The little one looked at him with twinkling eyes, “Does Uncle like Bianca?”

It seemed like he liked her, but she wanted to hear it from the horse’s mouth. After all, he was one of her potential future dad candidates!
