Chapter 13

Aunt May's house had always been the perfect hideout for Ivy and Mason when they were dating. They spent hours there, since her father never wanted to see them together. Patrick had never liked Mason and he made no effort to hide it.

Aunt May, however, was the first person to accept Mason, which was why Ivy wasn't entirely surprised to know he'd found her here,

"What are you doing here?" Ivy demanded, standing up abruptly.

"Get out of my house," May ordered, gesturing at the door.

"Can't a man come see his ex-wife and ex-in law?" Mason asked, a smirk tugging at his lips.

Ivy didn't like the look on his face. "No, he can't Leave Mason," she said firmly. Instead of turning towards the door, Mason took a seat on Aunt May's couch.

"You imbecile!" May yelled, her voice sharp with anger.

"Easy now, Tiger," Mason chuckled, crossing his legs nonchalantly. "I just came to see your niece."

"What do you want?" Ivy asked, a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"First, I'd like to say I don't appreciate you hurting my fiancée," Mason said, wagging a finger at her.

Ivy's brow arched. "Hurting your fiancéel"

"Yes. Cheryl told all the nasty things you said to her. I don't like it," Mason said with a frown.

Jealousy rose in Ivy's chest at the possessive tone Mason used for Cheryl-a tone he once reserved for her. "You should know by now that your fiancée is a liar," she shot back, her voice icy.

"You're engaged to Cheryl?" May asked, standing up from her seat. "You bastard"".

"I won't have you calling me or Cheryl names," Mason said in his usual calm tone that normally drove Ivy crazy. "I understand you might be sad and angry, but don't take it out on her. She has done nothing wrong."

Anger surged in Ivy's chest but she tamed it. She wasn't going to let Mason control her emotions. "Get out, Mason. I don't want to talk to you anymore,"

A sly smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "I know you're upset, Ivy. I can see why you'd humiliate your best friend in public." He emphasized the last two words.
