Chapter 902 Driven Mad!

Ivan was shocked when he heard this. Was that lunatic out of his mind? How dare he say such things! He had feelings for Ivanka, yet he adamantly denied them and chose to utter such hurtful words instead! Why? Why would he do that?! Ivanka’s face turned pale. She was completely taken aback by Michael’s words. The next moment, she could not help but laugh, “Yeah, I don’t deserve it. I know that. That’s why I’ve been keeping my distance from you.” She no longer wanted to talk to him. Words could not express how annoyed she was at him. Michael’s expression changed as he spoke those words. It seemed as though they had slipped out without much thought. When he noticed Ivanka’s pale face, he pursed his lips and turned away without a word. Ivan, who was still driving, could feel the awkwardness in the air and couldn’t stand being there any longer. He cleared his throat and quickly intervened for Michael’s sake, “Come on, you two! What’s the big fuss about? It’s not that serious! Michael, you’re a grown man, can you at least watch what you say? You always speak without thinking and don’t mean what you say. There must be a screw loose in your head.” Michael frowned and looked coldly at him. However, Ivan avoided looking at the rearview mirror. He anticipated Michael’s expression, so he avoided making eye contact with him. Ivanka remained silent. She turned away and looked composed as if nothing had occurred earlier. Throughout the rest of the journey, Ivan tried to initiate conversation to ease the tension. However, both Michael and Ivanka stayed silent. This made him feel weary and awkward as if he were talking to himself. Eventually, he gave up and fell silent. He was the first to exit the car when they reached their destination. He handed the keys to Ivanka and was eager to leave the place. The air outside was refreshing! Ivanka took the keys and. When she saw Michael step out of the car, she locked it and drove away. Michael stood motionless and watched Ivanka as she left with a cold gaze. Ivan frowned as he looked at Michael. “People often say you’re swift and decisive. But did you even think before speaking just now?” “No.” “Seriously?!” Ivan huffed in disbelief. “Are you crazy?!” Michael remained silent as he started walking. Ivan caught up to him and said in frustration, “Michael! What am I supposed to make of you? You clearly have feelings for her and want to pursue her, but you keep going to such extremes. Are you trying to back her or yourself into a corner?!” Michael’s expression turned cold as he looked at Ivan and warned, “Do not say those words ever again.” It was clear that Michael was trying to convey that he did not like Ivanka, regardless of how many times Ivan claimed that he had feelings for her. Ivan was speechless. Damn it! He knew he was meddling in Michael’s business unnecessarily. But this guy was his best friend! He could not just sit back. No, this must not continue. He needed to call Xander and tell him about Michael’s thoughtless words earlier. Ivan felt like he was being driven mad by this situation!
