Chapter 69: Messy Puzzle

There was a long silence on the line before Ethan finally said, "Did you ask her what she meant?"

"No. Everyone—especially my mother and Ivy—insisted I ignore her. That she was just trying to confuse me. Her sister and mother all said that was how she was, always causing trouble but I can’t stop thinking about it. Her voice keeps playing in my head. It felt like... someone I knew. Someone who’s been close to me all along."

Ethan sighed. "Do you want me to look into her? I mean we should know where she’s been since after your wedding to know why she loves you."

Stefan didn’t answer immediately. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to make sense of the storm brewing in his mind.

Ethan was right. If truly she hadn’t been close to him, or hadn’t seen him before, how could she say she was inlove with him? It definitely couldn’t be just by hearing about him from Ivy.

After thinking about it, he gave a short nod, even though Ethan couldn’t see it.

"Yes. Find out where she has been, who she’s been in contact with and everything. Everything you can."

"Alright. I’ll get on it first thing tomorrow," Ethan said.

Why would Ivy go back to her room just after returning? Though she’d gone there a couple of times in the last six months, it was just to get clothes or bath when he was using the bathroom or getting dressed by Martin. Why had she gone there to sleep?

For the past six months, she had refused to sleep anywhere but beside him—even when he’d told her she didn’t need to stay.

He couldn’t shake the feeling growing in his gut. The kind of feeling that tells you your entire world might not be what you thought it was.
