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.

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?"
