He withdrew his gaze and looked at the girl sitting in front of him.
Ivy hung her head low. Since a while ago, Damion had been ignoring her, which made her feel very uncomfortable and upset. But there was nothing else she could do. After all, it was her own fault that
Damion was angry with her.
She didn’t dare to ask for forgiveness from Damion either. But now he just stared at her without giving her any chance to explain herself.
Ivy took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Bishop, if there’s nothing else I can do for you, I’ll leave now.”
As she spoke, she stood up to leave this suffocating place.
“Sit down,” Damion lifted his eyes and looked at Ivy.
He was indeed very angry. After Ivy left the hospital without telling anyone where she went or what happened to her afterward, she disappeared completely without a trace.
Damion did try to find her but discovered that everything Ivy had told him before was a lie when he followed the information given by Ivy herself.
Damion was extremely angry about this situation. He could understand why Ivy would deceive him, perhaps because she thought he would despise or look down on the real situation of hers if he knew it himself. However, such thoughts were clearly too disrespectful towards him in his opinion.
“Why don’t you explain yourself? Why are you leaving so suddenly?” Damion asked coldly with anger still lingering in his voice.
Ivy bit her lip, unable to speak for a moment. She didn’t dare look at Damion and didn’t know how to explain the situation to him.
She could feel the icy coldness in Damion’s eyes growing stronger, making her even more unsure of what to do.
“I’m sorry,” Ivy said finally. She mustered up the courage to lift her head and look at Damion, and her eyes filled with regret and sadness she couldn’t hide.
“If I hurt you because of this, I apologize,” she continued.
Damion squinted his eyes as if amused by Ivy’s apology. “Apology?” he chuckled. “No need for that.
Just explain everything clearly.”
Ivy was momentarily speechless, feeling intimidated by Damion’s attitude towards her.
She lowered her head again and dared not look at him any longer.
Damion squinted his eyes again. He really wanted to pick Ivy up and take her somewhere private where he could teach her a lesson or two about respect.
Ivy had no idea what was going through Damion’s mind as she took a deep breath before saying,
“Regardless of how you feel about it, I did something wrong here. It was my mistake entirely. So if you have any complaints against me, I’ll accept them all.”
“And the money you spent on me? Don’t worry. I’ll pay it back.”
Damion was once again infuriated. This darn girl, why was she always trying to get on his nerves?
She was really something else.
He had never met anyone with a better temper than him. He never got angry over anything.
But this girl managed to make him angry time and time again.
Damion looked at Ivy and said, “Do you think I need your money?”
Ivy choked and instantly stopped talking.
Of course not, how could Damion possibly need her measly amount of money?
But what else could she do besides pay him back? Could she hope that he had other feelings for her?
She did hope so, but was it possible? One cannot dream unrealistically.
No one knew this better than Ivy herself.
So the best thing to do would be to clean up the relationship between her and Damion honestly.
Ivy felt really aggrieved, but what could she do? In front of Damion, she couldn’t resist anything. “Let’s just pretend like nothing happened before,” Ivy said.
She regretted it now, deeply and painfully.
Why did she come here alone to eat cheese hotpot? It had been almost half a year since she last had it.
She finally saved up enough money for this meal, but couldn’t bear to go to the popular and more expensive cheese shop. After weighing all the options, she chose this place with acceptable taste and price.
She happily ordered the cheapest dish on the menu and waited as each piece was cooked in the pot in front of her. This was her hard-earned cheese hotpot that must be cherished bite by bite.
Ivy was immersed in her own world until Damion sat across from her, causing her to drop her bowl into the pot out of fright. Damion didn’t yell at her but still made his anger known.
All of Ivy’s excitement upon seeing him instantly vanished like a bucket of cold water being poured over her head, leaving an icy feeling inside.
It also served as a wake-up call for Ivy. All those fantasies she had when alone at night should be completely abandoned. She and Damion were two people from completely different worlds after all.
So, she said, “Let’s just pretend nothing happened.”
Damion’s gaze became even colder in an instant.
Ivy hung her head, but she could feel the chill coming from Damion.
This made her heart sink even further into despair.
Finally, Ivy gathered up the courage to look at Damion and said, “If you don’t have anything else to do here, please leave.”
This was the cheese pot that she had saved up for so long to eat. She didn’t want to leave it behind.
She hadn’t even eaten the meat that she ordered earlier.
However, her words only added more ice onto Damion’s already cold demeanor.
Damion had never encountered a situation like this before. Ivy was the first person who could make him so angry like this.
He was truly angered by what happened but suddenly found it all meaningless after his outburst of anger subsided.
He let out a cold laugh as if there were knives hidden in his voice.
“Fine,” Damion spat out one word coldly and stood up before walking towards the door with large strides.
Ivy bit her lip lightly as tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
Damion really left just like that.
It was okay though. He can go ahead and leave because this time they will have no relationship whatsoever anymore.
Ivy struggled to calm herself down, but she couldn’t control her emotions and tears streamed down her face.
“What’s the matter? Why are you coming at me like this?” she asked, feeling frustrated.
She gritted her teeth tightly and tried to hold back her tears.
After a while, Ivy finally managed to suppress all of her emotions.
She picked up a whole plate of beef and threw it into the pot.
She still wanted to continue eating cheese fondue happily.
Ivy was determined not to let anything affect her enjoyment of the meal.
“
“
Damion stepped out of the cheese pot shop and was about to head towards the parking lot when he heard someone calling his name.
“Damion.”
He turned around and saw Patrick and Kelvin.
Patrick looked him up and down, suspiciously asking, “What’s wrong? Who made you angry?”
As a childhood friend, no one understood Damion’s personality better than Patrick. He was a gentle soul through and through. It was rare for anything to upset him in this world.
So it was strange that someone had managed to get under his skin like this. Patrick couldn’t help but wonder who it could be with such impressive skills.
Despite still being angry, Damion didn’t take it out on his friend. He suppressed his frustration and said to Patrick, “It’s nothing, Patrick. Are you guys going in now?”
He hadn’t continued observing Aimee and Casey’s situation just now either.
Patrick nodded and asked, “Have you eaten? Want to grab something together?”
Damion replied with a sigh, “No thanks. Knowing Casey’s temper, if she finds out I snitched on her, she’ll kill me.”
Patrick chuckled understandingly. He knew Damion wasn’t in a good mood right now, so he didn’t push the issue any further. He simply said, “Alright then. Take care of yourself on your way back home. Call us if anything happens.”
Damion nodded before leaving them behind as he headed towards home alone, while Patrick and
Kelvin walked into the cheese pot shop together.
From a distance, Patrick and Kelvin could see Casey and Aimee happily eating their cheese fondue.
They didn’t approach them, instead standing back with their arms crossed, watching from afar.
“Do we ever treat them badly?” Patrick asked.
Looking at the two of them now, they seemed genuinely upset about something.
“It’s hard to say,” Kelvin replied.
Patrick turned his head towards him. “No need to ask. I know it was your wife who convinced her.”
His wife was so clever. There was no way she could have kept this from him.
Kelvin sighed. He knew he would have to take the blame for this one. Otherwise, the three of them might team up against him later on.
“Well then, should we go over there?” Kelvin asked.
