Chapter 803 You Will Regret It for The Rest of Your Life

Ivanka was stunned and slightly flattered. There were even a few moments of discomfort in his eyes. Was this Michael? After a pause, she said softly, “Anything is fine.” Michael frowned. When he saw her being so strong and not the slightest sense of dependence on people around her, he surprisingly felt a little annoyed. Without speaking, he stepped outside and closed the door to her room behind him. Evan was in the living room. He did not leave. He was still waiting for Michael’s orders. Michael walked to the sofa and suddenly took out a cigarette. Evan looked a little stunned. Michael seldom smoked. He saw that he had already taken out his lighter but as he was about to light his cigarette, his movements suddenly stopped and he swiftly took it away. Evan’s eyes paused slightly. He was afraid that the smoke would enter Ivanka’s room and harm her. Evan lowered his gaze slightly and did not speak. Michael, on the other hand, said softly, “Go prepare something nutritious for her. The meals should be well-balanced. By the way, go ask Sandy about what Ivanka likes to eat.” Evan nodded, “Okay.” With that, he headed out the door. Michael’s voice was not loud enough to be heard from Ivanka’s room. After he saw Evan leave, annoyance showed up in Michael’s eyes. The moment he saw Ivanka’s injury, he did not know why, but his heart stung. For a moment, he panicked. Along the whole way, he was afraid that she would be harmed in some other way. He simply stayed near her constantly. He did not know why he felt this way. Just as he was thinking about it, Xander and Ivan’s voices unexpectedly kept replaying in his mind. —— “Admit it, she’s the one you like.” “That’s right! How much longer do you want to pretend? Why do you always pay attention to her if you don’t like her? You even stopped her from flirting with other men? I think you are just jealous!” “Mic, don’t waste any more time. She’ll really abandon you after a while.” “In the long run, you’re not alone in your torment. I’m really worried that if you continue to be so stubborn, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.” … —— The voices kept replaying. Michael grew increasingly frustrated. He got up and was about to walk out the door. But at the thought that Ivanka was still here, he eventually sat down again. He originally wanted to let Sandy come over, but he felt that if Sandy came over, there was a chance that she would cry or ask questions about Ivanka and disturb her rest. In the end, he remained. However, Ivanka never once needed anyone to worry over her. She quietly lay in bed and did not bother anyone. This undisturbed silence did not feel nice to Michael. An hour later, Evan brought over the food. Michael took it and walked to Ivanka’s room. Ivanka had closed her eyes but was not asleep. When she heard noises, she slowly opened her eyes. Michael placed the food on the bedside table as he glanced at her. His voice was cold, hard, and awkward as he said, “Eat before you sleep.” Goodness knew how much he had been struggling with his emotions for the last hour. He could not believe he liked that woman. Ivanka had always been the object of his loathing. He was currently taking such good care of her. It was only because she was suitable for him, and he did not want to let a woman with so much talent lose her life. This was just that. Ivanka cast an icy cold glare at him and said calmly, “Thank you, I can get it myself.”
