Chapter 7: The Angelic Bitch Appears

Ivy stormed out of the old mansion, walking along the dark road.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

Dillan would never deserve to know about the child; he would never be a good father.

Suddenly, she felt a chill...

Ivy glanced around; there was no one in sight.

This was a well-known wealthy area in Ewrodon, where it was impossible to hail a taxi, and it was far from the city center. Walking would take her until dawn.

She took out her phone to call for help.

Unexpectedly, a car horn sounded behind her, and blinding headlights shone on her.

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped beside her. The window rolled down slowly, revealing Dillan's handsome yet shameless face. "Get in."

Ivy didn't even look at him and continued walking forward. "I don't need your help. Someone will come to pick me up."

Dillan stopped the car, opened the door, and with a few strides of his long legs, he reached her and hoisted her onto his shoulder, heading back to the car.

Suddenly lifted off the ground, Ivy was clearly startled and instinctively grabbed the man's suit jacket.

"Dillan! Put me down! What right do you have to interfere with me? We're already divorced, you know!" She kept pounding on his body.

Dillan placed her in the passenger seat and leaned over to fasten her seatbelt.

At this moment, they were very close, and she could even see his thick eyelashes.

"I brought you here, so I have to take you back safely. You better behave, or I will really move your mother's ashes."

With that, he closed the door, walked around the car, and got into the driver's seat.

Ivy's eyes widened. He was threatening her with her mother's ashes again!

She glared at the man beside her and said angrily, "Dillan! If you dare touch my mother's ashes, I'll fight you to the death!"

Dillan glanced at her nonchalantly. "That depends on how you act."

When her mother passed away, she couldn't even afford a burial plot. It was Dillan who arranged everything and gave her mother a peaceful resting place.

Now he was using the ashes to threaten her!

What a scumbag!

Suddenly, Dillan's phone started vibrating. The screen displayed three letters: Kay.

Upon seeing this name, Ivy's heart couldn't help but ache.

This was the woman Dillan cherished...

Dillan didn't hesitate and answered the call. On the other end came Kay's gentle voice: "Dillan, I'm having dinner with the crew tonight and had a bit to drink. I can't drive. Can you come pick me up?"

"It's not convenient right now. I'll send someone to get you."

"No, I want you to come. I'm drunk. How can you trust someone else to pick me up..."

Dillan was silent for two seconds. "Send me the address and wait there."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

He hung up the phone and continued driving.

The car was very quiet; you could even hear a pin drop.

Naturally, Ivy heard Kay's voice on the phone.

Gentle and sweet, completely immersed in happiness.

Ha...

This was the difference between love and indifference. Dillan showed immense patience with Kay.

But during their year of marriage, Dillan rarely came home.

Thinking about it made her heartache.

Ivy couldn't help but look out the window, biting her lower lip tightly as her thoughts wandered.

Suddenly, Dillan's deep voice broke the silence. "Who is this 'he' you mentioned?"

"What?"

Ivy didn't react immediately and turned to look at his perfect profile, chiseled like a sculpture.

"You said I would never know about his existence. Who is this 'he'?"

Ivy continued looking out the window. "No one."

Dillan wasn't very curious either, so he didn't bother asking further. Say it or don't.

At this moment, Ivy's phone rang. It was Henry calling.

She answered without any guard up, only to hear little Ian's childish voice. "Mommy! When are you coming to get me? Did you forget about me?"

Ivy instinctively covered the phone's microphone and looked at Dillan beside her, afraid he would hear the kid's voice.

Seeing that Dillan didn't seem to react and continued driving, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned her back to him, and whispered into the phone like a thief: "I'll be with you soon. See you later."

She hung up decisively, not giving the little one another chance to speak.

Seeing her sneaky behavior while driving, Dillan wondered if she had found another man?

"Is it a man or a woman?" he asked directly.

Ivy replied coldly, "What does it have to do with you?"

Her phone beeped with a message from Henry with an address for a restaurant, likely where he was dining with the little one.

"Please drop me off at Dawn&Dusk Bistro."

She hadn't seen her son all night and wondered if he had behaved well.

Dawn&Dusk Bistro?

Dillan raised an eyebrow slightly. The address Kay sent earlier seemed to be for this restaurant too. What a coincidence?

...

Half an hour later.

They arrived outside Dawn&Dusk Bistro restaurant.

Ivy said perfunctorily, "Thank you."

Then she unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the door, got out of the car, and walked towards the restaurant without looking back.

Dillan couldn't help but chuckle. Since their divorce, this woman seemed to have become much more arrogant.

The old Ivy was obedient and never gave him attitude.

After parking his car, he also got out and walked towards the restaurant.

Ivy entered the restaurant and began searching for her baby but hadn't spotted Henry or the baby yet when she noticed Dillan following her inside.

She panicked slightly. "Why are you following me?"

Ivy started to get nervous. Could Dillan have discovered something? Why else would he follow her inside?

Dillan's handsome face showed disdain. "Who is following you? The person I'm picking up is also here."

Suddenly!

"Dillan! You're finally here!"

Kay fluttered like a butterfly into his arms, wrapping her arms around his tall body.

Dillan didn't react much and responded indifferently. "Um."

Kay noticed Ivy's presence from the corner of her eye, and her sweet smile instantly vanished.

"Dillan, why are you... why are you here with your ex-wife?"

Kay's big watery eyes filled with tears instantly.

Seeing this scene made Ivy want to laugh.

So this Kay had known about her existence all along while she only learned about this rival four years after their divorce.

Dillan felt a headache coming on; he hated explaining things.

"It was just a coincidence; we ran into each other."

Kay's stiff expression eased slightly. "Oh, I misunderstood you. I'm sorry. I was so scared; I thought you two were in contact again."

The implication was that Ivy was deliberately trying to seduce Dillan?
