A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 15

"Thank you so much, Aunt May," Ivy said as she hugged her.

"Call me everyday, and make sure you visit me again," May replied, her embrace tightening

"I will." Ivy smiled, gently pulling away as Bud opened the car door for her.

"And don't forget our conversation about Patrick. Try to call him and let know how that goes," May reminded her.

"Sure I will. Bye, Aunt May," Ivy waved as she entered the car.

Victor started the car while Bud took the front seat. Ivy gave her aunt one last look, waving again as the car pulled away.

Once the journey began, Ivy tried to calm her nerves. She was anxious about the public announcement, if her aunt already disapproved of her marriage to Silas- hating the fact that she was going to be divorced again after the contract ends- what would the public think?

Not that she cared-but still.

Another thing bothering her was her father's reaction. His opinion was bound to cut deep, and she wondered what he would say when he heard.

"What do

want? Patrick's tone was harsh. "I already told you-I don't want anything to do with you."

Ivy bit her lip, trying to steady her breath. "I'm calling to inform you that I'll be having my wedding soon."

"Again?" he scoffed, and lyy could guess he was frowning. "Haven't you learned your lesson? After everything Mason did to you? He and his stupid family who didn't give a fuck about you! And now you're doing it again. Who's the unlucky fellow this time?"
