A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 63: Words From A Bitter Heart?

As Ivy stepped out of the car, her phone rang. She reached for it in her bag while

pushing the door open.

"Hello," she said, answering it.

"Hey, are you back?" Silas's voice crackled through the phone.

"Yes. Just walking in," Ivy replied as she headed upstairs.

"How did it go?" Silas asked, his curiosity evident.

"Well..." Ivy drawled as she entered her room. She pulled off her heels and dropped her

bag on the bed. "Sonia invited me for the party tomorrow."

"No way!" Silas shrieked with excitement. "How did you do that?"

"I don't know,” she admitted, walking over to the window. "It just happened."

"That's so cool, Ivy. Thank you," Silas said softly.

"It's not over yet," she reminded him. “I still have to convince her fully. But going to the party is a good start, right?"

"Absolutely," Silas agreed. "I can't wait for it to be done. Thomas would be so thrilled."

"I'm happy to help," she said. She could already imagine Mason's face when she

showed up at his party.

"I'll see you when I get home," Silas said. "Before I forget," he added. "Gabriel isn't available to bring the documents today. Can you go over and sign them?"

"I'll love to," she replied, feeling delighted.

"Great. I'll call you when I hear from Thomas."

"Alright. Talk later," Ivy said, hanging up.

She turned and her eyes landed on her wedding ring on the table. She picked it up, twirled it between her fingers and slipped it on. She then leaned against the window, taking in the view below.

"Guess it's time to see you," she muttered.

Ivy walked into the closet, pulling out her box of photography equipment. She dusted off a camera, clicked it to see if it was still working. Its flash momentarily brightened the room. Satisfied, she straightened up, hung the camera around her neck and wore her pink flip-flops.
