Chapter 25 - 25 25 We Don't Need Dad
25: Chapter 25: We Don’t Need Dad 25: Chapter 25: We Don’t Need Dad I don’t know whether it was unintentional or deliberate.
But the words “Miss River” and “Ivy River” stabbed hard into Edwin Blake’s heart.
Over the years, people rarely mentioned the name Ivy River in front of Edwin Blake, knowing well it was his sore spot.
Edwin Blake’s attitude was cold, “No one is interested in President Wiles’s Miss River.
It’s getting late, Alexander, let’s go home.”
“President Wiles, we’ll gather another time.
We’re leaving now.
Don’t take my brother’s words to heart.”
Alexander Hodges hastily exchanged a few pleasantries before hurrying to catch up with Edwin Blake.
Gale Wiles looked at the two departing figures, and his gaze suddenly turned icy cold.
Returning to his own seat.
Ivy River spoke calmly, “Was it amusing?”
Gale Wiles glanced at her, “Amusing.”
“If Edwin Blake comes over to see who Miss River is, how will you explain it?”
Gale Wiles shrugged indifferently, “So what?
Doesn’t he know you’re back?”
“He doesn’t know!
I’ve been using disguises lately.
Don’t cause trouble for me, alright?”
“I don’t think I’m causing you trouble.”
Ivy River snapped angrily, her face turning cold, “What you did just now is causing trouble for me.
If he had taken a glance, I would’ve been completely exposed.
Have you ever considered me?”
Gale Wiles sneered, “Have you ever considered me?
We’re divorced, what are you still worrying about?
Afraid old feelings will rekindle?”
“You!” Ivy River held her forehead, “Didn’t I tell you on the phone not to come?
I came to meet you without disguise, what if something went wrong!”
She received Gale Wiles’s call suddenly in the evening, saying he was at Charm Color.
Ivy River was so anxious to go out and thought Seaton wasn’t small, so she simply didn’t disguise.
Unexpectedly, enemies really do meet on a narrow path!
She actually ran into Edwin Blake at the bar.
“Ha, you told me not to come, but it’s been eight years, Ivy River!”
“It’s not eight days, nor eight months!
You cut connections when you were abroad; if I hadn’t seen the message on the Dark Web, were you planning never to contact me for life?”
“Haven’t I contacted you now?”
Gale Wiles mocked, “Yes, would you contact me if you didn’t need confirmation?
As soon as you returned home, you went back to Seaton to help Edwin Blake’s little lover with treatment; people who don’t know might think you still have feelings for him.”
Ivy River didn’t know what craze Gale Wiles was on about.
She spoke helplessly, “Edwin Blake and I are already divorced, and I have children.
I don’t want to expose myself to Edwin Blake, it’s to protect their safety.”
Gale Wiles was stunned, and his thoughts slowly returned.
Children?
Them?
Such terms were so rare when it came to Ivy River.
Ivy River looked at Gale Wiles and spoke softly, “You’ve become an uncle, twins, want to come home with me to see them?”
Upon hearing this, a tinge of bitterness unwittingly swept through Gale Wiles’s heart, “Are the children Edwin Blake’s?”
Ivy River nodded, having no intention of hiding it.
After all, Fatty’s face was a spitting image of Edwin Blake.
“Ivy River, you’re truly muddled!”
“The children are only mine; their father has long been dead, so when you see them, you can’t say anything inappropriate.”
Gale Wiles closed his eyes, not wanting to say a word.
Ivy River stood up, “Come on, I’ll take you home to see them; don’t you want to meet them at all?”
Gale Wiles followed her, appearing somewhat lonely amid the bustling bar crowd.
After getting in the car.
Gale Wiles’s voice was icy, “Go to the nearest mall nearby.”
Ivy River raised an eyebrow, intentionally asking, “Why?”
“To buy some gifts.
How can an uncle meet his nieces and nephews for the first time empty-handed?”
Ivy River teased, “Oh, have you regained your senses?”
Gale Wiles gazed out the window, his voice cold, “Just drive properly.”
Ivy River’s thoughts were slowly coming back to her.
When Edwin Blake left just now, he had intentionally glanced at her seat.
Even though she had her head down, she wasn’t sure if he had noticed her.
After buying gifts and arriving home, the two remained silent on the way.
Ivy River, while opening the door, reminded, “Fatty can be a handful, so be a little patient.”
“No need for your reminder, I’m very patient with children.” Gale Wiles responded irritably, “And, what kind of name did you give the kid?
Couldn’t you choose a nicer nickname?”
“Fatty was born ten pounds, Emmy was born less than five pounds and even had to stay in an incubator.
What do you think I should name him?”
Gale Wiles was speechless, saying no more, and began looking around.
The house styled American simplicity, with a large living room filled with many toys.
Various Chinese herbs were placed in the corner of the balcony.
“Still researching herbal medicine?”
Ivy River glanced over, a face of pride, “This is Emmy’s labor of love!”
At this moment, Fatty and Emmy heard the noise.
They rushed out immediately.
“Mommy, you’re finally back!
We missed you so much!”
Fatty charged out impulsively, and upon seeing a stranger in the living room.
His little face immediately turned cold, “Who are you?”
Hearing Fatty’s questioning, Gale Wiles couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“I’m your second father.”
Fatty frowned, trotting to the door, “Please leave my home!”
“Why?”
Fatty looked icy, “We don’t need a father.”
What do you think?
