Substitute Wife For The Blind CEO

Chapter 64: Too Late Now

Ivy took a deep breath before pushing Stefan’s room door open.

Stefan looked up when Ivy walked in, his expression unreadable. He was sitting by the window, sunlight touching his face, lost in thought. He had trued reaching Ethan but it had been a futile attempt.

Ivy remembering all she’d been told, smiled gently. "Hey, you okay?"

He gave a small nod. "I’ve just been thinking."

Ivy crossed the room slowly and took a seat beside him, reaching for his hand. "About Ruby?"

He glanced at her, clearly surprised. "Yeah... how’d you know?"

"How would I not? I mean I saw the way you looked at her when she left," she said, her voice soft but cautious. "I saw the confusion... the pain. It gelt like you were buying it."

Stefan stayed silent, and she continued. "Stefan... I know you’re confused. I know she said things that probably didn’t make sense. But please... don’t let her twist what we have."

"Ivy, I’m just trying to understand," he said, looking at her closely. "She said things that made me question... everything. Just like I did back then too."
