Ivy hesitated for a moment before accepting the card.
After a while, Ivy looked up at Damion and asked, “Why are you giving me this bank card?”
Damion replied, “I don’t want you to work anymore. You don’t have any financial resources right now. If you want to buy something but don’t have any money on hand, I can’t be with you all the time.”
Ivy furrowed her brow and looked at Damion before saying, “But I don’t really need money for anything right now.”
Damion responded confidently, “You’ll find ways to use it.”
Ivy was still very confused when she heard Damion’s confident words. She looked at him with a puzzled expression, like a good baby waiting for his answer.
Damion said, “There are some things in the mall that I couldn’t accompany you to buy. You can go buy them yourself later.”
Ivy thought for a moment and suddenly realized what it was.
Now Ivy was completely shy.
She didn’t even dare to look at Damion. She just wanted to hurry back to her room and didn’t know how to face him.
Biting her lip lightly, Ivy said, “Damion, are you treating me like your daughter?”
Damion raised his hand and was about to flick Ivy on the forehead but quickly remembered how she pouted at him in the mall earlier today. He had already flicked her too many times today so he felt sorry for her and decided not to do it this time.
Ivy felt Damion’s movement and prepared herself for another hit on the head but didn’t feel any pain this time.
She couldn’t help but secretly glance at Damion, only seeing his hand raised up without falling down on her head.
Damion noticed Ivy’s expression of surprise and found it amusing. His hand did not fall onto Ivy’s forehead as expected but instead landed on top of her head where he rubbed it gently before saying,
“Take it. Use it all up, then tell me.”
Ivy took the bank card from Damion’s hand and stared at it for a long time before suddenly looking up at him again, “Damien, are you trying to keep me?”
Damien squinted his eyes then finally flicked Ivy on the forehead again this time much harder than before!
This girl really knew how to shock people!
This one hurt much more than last time!
Damion said, “What’s going on in that brain of yours?” If this was what she called being kept, Damion didn’t know if he was getting a good deal or if this girl was just too easy to fool.
Ivy’s forehead swelled from the hit and she looked at Damion with tears in her eyes. “Damion, if you keep doing this, I won’t be able to get into college.”
Damion replied, “Then you better be ready for me to settle the score with you later. Let’s see how I’ll deal with you.”
Ivy hesitated and couldn’t help but shrink her neck back and move away from him.
Damion chuckled but still spoke seriously. “So what do you want to do? You need to figure it out yourself.”
Ivy nodded obediently and quickly changed her attitude.
“I understand now. I will study hard,” Ivy said.
Damion was satisfied and said, “Okay then, go rest now.”
But Ivy couldn’t resist asking one more question before leaving. “Are you staying here tonight?”
It wasn’t early anymore and he had stayed over last night because it got too late.
Was history repeating itself today?
Damion smirked at Ivy’s question. “Are you scared of me?”
Ivy really didn’t know how to answer that question.
Ivy couldn’t help but feel confused about the current situation with Damion. Were they living together? It all seemed so strange to her.
“You know, if you don’t want me to stay here, I can leave,” Damion said.
Ivy was even more unsure of what to do now. She felt like Damion was trying to guilt trip her into letting him stay.
She knew that she might have been a bit unreasonable in wanting the real owner of the house out, especially since it was already kind of him to let her stay there in the first place.
After berating herself for a moment, Ivy finally spoke up. “That’s not what I meant. I’m just going back to my room.”
With that, she turned and ran back into her room while Damion sighed and thought about their relationship.
He knew he wouldn’t do anything to hurt Ivy intentionally but being a man made it easy for girls like Ivy to overthink things. He decided he’d go somewhere else tonight so Ivy could be more comfortable.
Maybe tomorrow they could talk things out properly and figure out where they stood with each other.
After Ivy returned to her room, she closed the door and leaned against it with the bank card in hand, unable to calm down.
The current situation was really strange. She could feel how good Damion was to her, but she couldn’t explain why. Why did Damion have to be so good to her? Especially since there wasn’t even a hint of ulterior motives in his kindness towards her. On the contrary, it was Ivy who had some twisted thoughts about him.
Ivy was really worried that one day she might give in to those twisted thoughts and do something outrageous like sneaking into Damion’s room at night while he slept…
She slapped herself on the forehead suddenly, realizing that she was becoming more and more abnormal.
“If I keep thinking like this, I’ll explode right here,” Ivy muttered under her breath.
Her gaze fell back onto the bank card in her hand. It felt like a hot potato burning through her fingers.
She needed to hide this thing away or else risk losing it altogether.
After scanning around the room for a moment, Ivy finally decided on hiding the bank card inside one of the drawers next to her bed.
Although she still had some money left on herself – only a few hundred dollars – Ivy decided not to use any of Damion’s money if possible.
The next day, Ivy was still sleeping when Damion woke her up.
She grumbled as she rolled out of bed, looking like a sleepy little thing that hadn’t fully woken up yet.
Damion chuckled at the tuft of hair sticking up on top of her head and asked, “Why so unhappy?”
Ivy pouted and replied, “I’ve been staying up too late these past few days.”
Damion laughed again and said, “You young people can’t handle it.”
Ivy pouted some more and muttered under her breath, “Well I haven’t stayed up late much before this anyway.”
But he couldn’t really blame her for that.
“Alright then. I’ll let you sleep when we get back. For now though, go freshen up. We’re going out,”
Damion said.
Even though Ivy could be a bit stubborn sometimes, she was obedient around Damion.
She went to freshen up and change clothes. She felt a bit more awake after that and didn’t have any lingering bad moods as they sat down at the breakfast table together.
Looking at the food on the table in front of them, Ivy asked what was on her mind, “Did you make all this yourself?”
Damion laughed again and flicked his finger against Ivy’s head playfully before saying teasingly, “Do you think I’m that amazing?”
Ivy tilted her head to one side with a smile on her face as she replied jokingly, “Well, to prevent your ego from getting too big… no comment.”
Damion chuckled lightly before admitting, “Nope! These were delivered by someone else.”
Ivy didn’t know what was wrong with her. When she heard Damion’s words, she actually thought he was just an ordinary person. But as soon as this idea came to mind, Ivy almost choked on her food.
According to what she had seen in TV dramas, it was normal for Damion not to be able to cook. He should be a young master who could get anything he wanted without lifting a finger.
Damion saw Ivy biting her fork and wondered what she was thinking about. He raised his hand and gave her a light tap on the head before saying, “Stop thinking about nonsense and eat your food properly.”
Ivy obediently focused on eating again, showing off how well-behaved and docile she could be.
After breakfast, Damion took Ivy out with him.
Curious now, Ivy asked him where they were going. “To visit an elder,” replied Damion.
Instantly, she sat up straighter in her seat with a nervous expression on her face – meeting elders always made her anxious – Damion turned his head and laughed at the sight of it all. “Why are you so scared?” he teased.
Biting down hard on her lip, Ivy replied softly, “I’m just a little nervous.”
“It’s not like we’re meeting my parents or anything,” said Damion jokingly.
Feeling close to tears now from frustration at how lightly he seemed to take things that worried her so much, Ivy couldn’t understand why everything seemed so easy for him while every little thing felt like such an ordeal for herself!
Damion said, “But you can also think of it as meeting the parents.”
Ivy was speechless.
Although she knew Damion was just teasing her, she really felt like jumping out of the car now.
Damion continued, “Although Camdyn is not my grandfather, he has watched me grow up since I was born. He’s no different from my own grandfather and maybe even cares about me more than my grandfather does.”
After all, Damion didn’t spend much time with his grandfather and didn’t know how he would feel about him.
Ivy didn’t understand all this but Damion’s words made her realize that the person they were going to meet was important to him.
Even though Ivy understood that Damion was joking when he said they were meeting the parents, she still felt like crying.
Her past experiences had taught her to fear meeting elders because she never knew how to handle them properly. She had already imagined a terrible scenario in her head.
Seeing Ivy so nervous made Damion feel helpless. He reached out and held Ivy’s hand saying, “What are you afraid of when I’m here?”
Ivy really wanted to tell Damion that it was because of him that she was scared in the first place. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t be so nervous right now.
However, no matter how nervous Ivy felt, some things still needed to be faced head-on. She took a deep breath and told Damion, “Damian, I won’t embarrass you.”
Damion shook his head and chuckled at Ivy’s words, before finally giving her a rough rub on the head.
There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, but if one listened carefully, people could also hear that
