Chapter 96 Not the Right Time
Chapter 96 Not the Right Time
As Jennifer emerged from the bathroom, Ivan snapped back from his own thoughts and his eyes
inevitably fell on her.
Wet long hair, face flushed, the body emitting the fragrance of shower gel.
"You go take a shower." Her voice was crisp and clear.
Ivan nodded and walked toward her.
She felt her heart pounding as the two brushed past each other.
Jennifer patted her chest when she heard the bathroom door close. Somehow, she felt nervous.
Was it because the room was too small, or his presence too strong?
During the daytime together, Jennifer felt quite close to him.
But since they came to this B&B, she felt that there was still a wall between her and him, as if he had
closed himself off.
So about the fire... She still couldn't ask it out.
It was not the right time.
When Ivan came out of the bathroom, Jennifer was obviously stunned, "You... Why aren't you wearing
clothes?"
His perfectly-built body was shown right before her, especially the sexy abs, "When have you ever
seen me sleep with my clothes on?"
"..."
Unable to retort, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze.
They both felt tired, so Ivan just lifted the covers and laid down on the bed directly.
The bed was very narrow, only 1.2 meter wide.
Once he was lying there, there wasn't much room left for her.
"Come on up." Ivan looked at her.
Jennifer was perplexed. She didn't know what was going on tonight, she kept feeling out of breath,
especially when he looked at her.
She struggled to overcome the strange feeling in her mind and climbed into bed.
To keep herself from falling off the bed, she could only lean toward him.
Ivan slowly lifted his arm and gently wrapped it around her shoulder.
She raised her eyes to stared at him. Handsome eyebrows, deep-set eyes, sculptured nose, his facial
features were simply clear-cut.
Ivan looked down and met her gaze, "Haven't seen enough?"
"What's your beauty routine?" She couldn't help but discuss with him on skincare methods, "I don't see
you using any skin care products usually. You are 38 years old, but there are no wrinkles on your face."
Ivan's lips curled up into a slight smile, and just when she thought he would actually tell her some
methods, she heard three words, "Born this way."
"Pfft...!" She buried her head in the crook of his arm. Shortly afterwards, she fell asleep.
Ivan reached out with his other hand and turned off the light, then pulled the covers towards her.
Whatever her purpose in bringing him out today, it brought him peace and happiness he had never
experienced before.
At night, Emerald Bay, Arkpool City.
A headlight shines into the villa, and Alfie and Diana, tossing cushions in the couch and playing, turned
their eyes to look out the floor-to-ceiling windows!
Jordan rushed to welcome them.
"Didn't they say they weren't coming back?" Alfie wondered.
Diana glanced at her brother, "Maybe it's not daddy and mommy."
"So who else was there at this hour? This is not a place for anyone to come in."
The evening breeze wafted through the courtyard where the roses were in full bloom.
As soon as the person got off the car, Jordan bowed respectfully, "Welcome, Madam."
Pippa helped Aubree walked toward the house, and Jordan hurried to follow.
When they entered the living room, they did not see the two adults.
Instead, at a glance, they saw two children standing on the couch with their bare feet.
The siblings' hair was a mess, their shoes scattered here and there, and a few pillows fell off the couch.
The children looked at the person who arrived and then at each other, confused.
What a strange person, wearing half a mask, and the whole was tightly wrapped up, even wearing
gloves.
The children also felt an eerie and cold presence.
Jordan rushed in, "Master Alfie, Lady Diana, this is Mr. Marsh's mother. Come down and greet your
grandma."
The children froze for a second. Then they glanced at each other, hurriedly put on their shoes and got
off the couch.
"Hello Grandma!"
The two little ones stood hand in hand next to the coffee table, bowing deeply towards the door. They
were simply adorable!
Aubree's icy gaze skimmed across the children. Then, she looked to the stairs and asked unpleasantly,
"Where's Ivan and Jennifer? Tell them to come down."
Jordan replied respectfully, "Mr. Marsh is taking the Young Lady out."
"They're still out so late at night?"
Alfie took the chance to interpose, "They're not coming back tonight! They went on a date!"
The face under Aubree's mask suddenly turned grim. Her eyes fell back on Alfie again, "What did you
say?" Then she strode towards the kids.
