Chapter 49: 50. Love at First Sight

“A suitable match?” Michael Gordon’s face darkened to the extreme, “You’re talking about the blind date guy who’s incredibly reserved, or the married man, Zach Gilbert?”

Whenever he thought about Ivy almost scalding his little brother at his blind date, and then acting all warm and gentle with others, Michael’s heart felt like it was being crushed by a huge boulder, making it hard to breathe.

He was so much more influential, prestigious, and powerful than a mere blind date candidate. How could Ivy compare him to some simple-minded guy?

“Whoever it is, it has nothing to do with you, Mr. Gordon!” Ivy challengingly raised her eyebrows, “Gossiping about an employee’s private life, doesn’t that devalue your position as CEO?”

Men who gossip are truly petty!

“Really?” Michael raised an eyebrow and his body inched closer to Ivy, showing no desire to return to the driver’s seat. His hot breath brushed against Ivy’s ear. “So, in your heart, I still have some value? I thought in your eyes, I was already a stud horse!”

Hehe.

“You shameless man, your face is really thick!”

Ivy didn’t want to talk anymore. If she weren’t holding Bella, she’d definitely slap him without hesitation. He admitted he was a stud horse with such brazenness.

“No one has ever said I had a thick face!” Michael didn’t seem upset when Ivy glared at him. He only chuckled softly, the seductive arc of his lips deepening as his body nearly pressed against Ivy’s chest. “People say I have no shame!”

Ivy: “…”

Bianca: “Uncle, being so shameless makes you invincible. I’m rooting for you. If you can win Ivy’s heart, Bella will be all yours!”

After saying this, the little one even gestures encouragingly.

Now it was Michael’s turn to feel stifled. He had originally intended to tease Ivy, but now he felt somewhat embarrassed due to Bella’s antics. He awkwardly got off her and, unexpectedly, a faint blush appeared on his face.

“Uncle, you’re shy!” The little one didn’t let go of the suddenly embarrassed Michael, her big eyes twinkling, and the corners of her lips forming a seductive smile eerily similar to Michael’s. “Uncle, tell Bella, do you like Ivy too?”

As she spoke, the little one nodded her head, affirming her own guess: “You must like Ivy; that’s why you disrupted her blind date banquet!”

“Is that so?” Michael didn’t expect a five or six-year-old child to see through his thoughts. Seeing her earnest and expectant eyes, he was somewhat curious about her impression of him. “So, do you support me liking Ivy, Bella?”

“Of course!” She blinked her eyes and nodded vigorously. “If uncle wants to pursue Ivy, Bella can teach you a few tricks. You’ll definitely succeed!”

“Bianca, are you itchy for a beating?”

Ivy finally couldn’t hold back and snapped at the little girl, who had swiftly betrayed her, and started to cozy up to Michael on their second meeting. She seemed like a reincarnation of her father’s lover in her past life, showing deep empathy for him and warming his heart.

Ivy’s shouting drove Bella straight into Michael’s arms, feigning a frightened look. She managed to win a rare bit of sympathy from Michael, who protected her in his arms and glared at Ivy.

“Ivy, I can take your abuse, but are you going to abuse a kid too?”

Ivy: “…” When had she abused a child? She cherished her baby girl.

Bianca hid in Michael’s arms and laughed smugly, a picture of triumph. The resemblance to Michael made it clear that blood ties were truly marvelous.

Ivy didn’t even have the energy to speak: “All right, Mr. Gordon, if you want to give us a ride home, just drive. If not, let us out of the car. Using a child to win sympathy? What kind of man are you?!”

As a man, how can he stoop so low? Michael’s eyes twitched violently.

Damn woman! One day, he would show her what kind of man he was!

Bella watched Michael grit his teeth while he placed her next to Ivy and went obediently to the driver’s cab. Her heart suddenly swelled with sympathy.

“Ivy!” Ivy was shocked by the girl’s sweet call. “Can you be nicer to Uncle Gordon? Bella thinks he looks so pitiful!”

When she heard this, it was Ivy’s turn for her eyes to twitch. In what way did Michael come across as pitiful?

If Michael was pitiful, there would be no one in this world who wasn’t pitiful. The man was utterly ruthless when he exploited her, forcing her to work overtime every day and even making her hire a nanny.

Ivy bowed her head in silence, driving Michael’s heart to swell with sweet anticipation. He hummed a little tune while driving, his pace as slow as a snail approaching its destination.

“Thank you, Mr. Gordon, for giving us a ride home!” After that, Ivy hurriedly carried Bella upstairs.

As Michael exited the driver’s cab, he heard her words. His hand paused on the car handle, brows furrowing, and he stared at the two faces, one big and one small, with an eerily high resemblance. His mind conjured up a confusing image…

“Ivy, aren’t you inviting Uncle Gordon in for some tea?” Little Bella glanced at Michael, whose eyes were deep and unfathomable, pouting her lips and pleading with Ivy. “Uncle Gordon must be thirsty after driving so long!”

Ivy wished she could bash her head against a wall. This kid was really against her today. She just wanted to get along with Michael, not giving Ivy any chance to refuse.

“Bella, Uncle Gordon has water in the car; he’s not thirsty!” Ivy kissed Bella’s puffed cheeks with a wry smile. “It’s getting late. Uncle Gordon needs to go see his girlfriend, or Auntie Gordon will be angry. Let’s go up now, be good!”

Uncle Gordon has a girlfriend? As the little girl heard these words, her gaze at Michael dimmed.

After saying that, Ivy didn’t dare to look at Michael. She carried Bella upstairs, and at the same time, Michael’s lazy voice was heard behind them.

“I really am thirsty after driving so long, and it seems my secretary didn’t prepare any water for me in the car.” Michael said lazily, following them without waiting for Ivy’s approval. “Since Bella is kind enough to offer me water, I won’t refuse!”

Ivy: “…”

Could this man be more shameless? She’d already given him a way out, and he still had the gall to come back?

“Uncle Gordon, do you really have a girlfriend?” Rather than getting angry, the little girl was more concerned about this. “If you have a girlfriend, don’t come up. After all, Ivy isn’t cut out to be a mistress!”

Michael Gordon: “…”
