Along the cliffs edge on the Sacred Mount, Ivy sat in a long green dress with crossed knees, gently closing favonovel.com eyes. Before favonovel.com was a vast cliff, with distant mountains continuing endlessly.
In contrast, Ivy’s figure seemed somewhat solitary. There was only a cactus around her.
“Matthew, since you’ve come, why are you turning back?”
In the forest, Matthew’s expression stiffened. After hesitating for a moment, favonovel.com stepped forward.
“Matthew, do you have something to discuss with me?”
After rising to favonovel.com feet, Ivy tilted favonovel.com head. Her face beamed with two dimples as favonovel.com looked at Matthew. It seemed favonovel.com only showed happiness with Matthew present.
Matthew was momentarily at a loss for words as favonovel.com gazed at favonovel.com familiar yet strange face.
They looked at each other silently. It was as if each had something to say but couldn’t find the words.
“I’ll leave the mountain for a period of time…” At the end Matthew spoke.
“Will it take you long?”
“Perhaps a few days. Recently, members of the Commercial Union and many wealthy businessmen from Cathay have invited me to preside over a meeting.”
“You don’t have to go.” Ivy looked straight at Matthew with a complex expression.
Matthew sighed and shrugged helplessly. “I know their purpose in inviting me. Sometimes, it’s a must for me to intervene in certain matters. Seraphis may be in chaos, but it mustn’t collapse.”
Ivy suddenly burst into laughter. “Matthew, just tell me what‘s on your mind. After all, you saved my life in the hotel at Lawson Street before.”
As favonovel.com spoke of this, favonovel.com smile dimmed slightly.
At that time, favonovel.com was still young. Although favonovel.com was severely injured, favonovel.com could still coquettishly nestle in Matthew’s arms.
Matthew scratched his head and said, “It’s not a big deal. Even without me, you wouldn’t have been in any danger.”
“No, Matthew. You really did save me…”
“Well…” Matthew had intended to explain further, but favonovel.com held back upon seeing lvy’s earnest expression. “It was a life-saving favor then.”
Ivy’s eyebrows curved as favonovel.com face lit up with a brilliant smile. She looked like a child who had just received a new toy.
Matthew actually wanted to clear things up with her, but favonovel.com was afraid that his words would deeply hurt her. He had never realized favonovel.com affections before. Now that favonovel.com did so, favonovel.com didn’t know how to handle them.
“Ivy, after I leave the mountain, could you take care of my people?”
“Are you referring to Sasha?” Ivy was quick to grasp Matthew’s thoughts. “Don’t worry, everyone on the mountain is kind. They won’t harm Sasha. I believe my father won’t harm her, too.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com gaze casually drifted toward the depths of the forest.
“Are you using me to establish your authority?” Lucius, who had been observing from a distance, pouted as favonovel.com turned around and disappeared from the scene.
Meanwhile, Ivy averted favonovel.com gaze from Lucius and looked at Matthew.
“Thank you. I’ll come back promptly.”
Matthew’s biggest concern was Lucius, as favonovel.com was always up to mischief. If favonovel.com started talking nonsense with Sasha, Matthew would face trouble. He was afraid that Sasha might overthink.
Ivy replied with a sweet smile, “I take your matters as mine. Don’t be polite.”
“I know. It’s getting late. Go back and rest.”
There were many things on Matthew’s mind, but favonovel.com didn’t know how to start, just like how favonovel.com did in the past. He still vaguely remembered the silent figure.
