From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World by Anonymous

Chapter 268 Come Out And Meet Your Fiancée

Upon hearing this, Ivan remained expressionless.

His gaze was profound and steady, like a warm pool of water in winter, easily making people let go of their guard and reveal their inner thoughts to him.

Hazel regarded him as an extremely manipulative and dangerous individual.

Ivan: "Child, you were still too young."

His voice was steady, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and there was no visible emotional change due to Hazel's impolite words. "My young eyes could see it clearly, there was no need for you to explain it specifically."

"You misunderstood me too deeply."

The man's calm demeanor made Hazel feel uncomfortable.

"Since misunderstandings can exist, it must be because the other person did something that caused the misunderstanding. Since they did it, there's no need to turn back and say that the misunderstanding is too deep, as it will only make one appear cheap." Her current appearance is like a small, skinny hedgehog, encountering a formidable presence that makes her wary. She raises all her spines, attempting to repel the other party.

Ivan silently curved the corners of his mouth.

"You inherited your mother's eloquence. When I met her back then, she was even younger than you are now. Beneath her seemingly delicate appearance, she had a strong heart."

This was the longest sentence Ivan said tonight, closely related to her mother.

That was a past that Hazel had never known.

She pursed her lips and sneered, no matter how strong her heart was, in the end, it couldn't withstand the pain. Eventually, she became melancholic and at such a young age, she bid farewell to this world. As soon as Jessie was mentioned, the aura around this man instantly changed.

The tone is filled with nostalgia and affection.

People who have long held high positions will not easily expose their weaknesses to their opponents, unless they intentionally show them to lower your guard and achieve their true inner goals.

Or, one could say it was a deliberate indulgence... a test!

Hazel focused two hundred percent, her gaze locked onto the expression on Ivan's face.

"You didn't have to be so guarded against me."

"I was your father, I would never hurt you."

Would a manipulator who can even hurt their loved ones care about an infant who never grew up by their side?

Hazel didn't believe a single word of what he said.

She looked at him with an emotionless gaze and sneered, "Stop flattering yourself. My father died a long time ago, and your daughter is not here either."

Seeing the disdain gathered in her eyes, Ivan calmly said, "You will understand later."

With the compassion of paternal love withdrawn, the man's aura suddenly became as chilling as the

coldest winter wind. Even a fleeting glance from him carried the power to dominate everything.
