"Mr. Blackwood, Ronnie is in danger. Keith is using this to threaten me."
Ivy Kensington was extremely anxious. If it weren’t for this, she wouldn’t have followed Keith today.
As she moved, the coat that Sebastian Blackwood had draped over her shoulders slipped down her skin.
Feeling a chill, Ivy instinctively hugged her arms tightly.
Sebastian Blackwood’s eyes suddenly darkened. She had been wearing this in front of those men for so long?
Thinking of the video Julian Hawthorne sent him, Sebastian’s handsome face grew even more somber.
Earlier, his actions were still too lenient!
"Didn’t you know to find me?"
Sebastian questioned coldly.
With his backing, who would dare touch her?
Ivy felt a bit wronged. She had tried to reach him back then, but he didn’t answer her calls...
"You were ignoring me."
Sebastian frowned slightly, suddenly remembering that he had been entangled with Nina Shaw at that time, and his phone was silenced, so he neither saw nor heard anything.
His Adam’s apple rolled as he said, "In the future, if something happens again and you can’t find me, you can also reach Owen Rhodes."
Sebastian murmured a sound. He had already sent Owen to pick up Ronnie. From today on, there would be someone specifically following Ronnie every day, so no one would easily use Ronnie to threaten Ivy again.
Finally, Ivy felt relieved.
But suddenly, she remembered how Eleanor Sterling had aimed at her earlier, and Sebastian had blocked it.
Ivy asked cautiously.
Sebastian, however, picked up the coat and wrapped it tightly around her again, sternly saying, "If you dare to wear clothes in front of others again, don’t blame me for getting angry."
Ivy pressed her lips together and asked, "Then what about you?"
Sebastian raised an eyebrow, his thin lips curling slightly, "I’m an exception."
Returning to Blackwood Manor.
Sebastian quickly went to the study. Although he said nothing, Ivy felt that the blow earlier wasn’t easy to endure.
She thought for a moment, then brought up some ointment for swelling.
The study door was slightly ajar.
Ivy saw that Sebastian had taken off his coat, and indeed there was a red mark on his prominently muscled back, indicating he had been injured.
Her heart tightened, and without thinking, Ivy rushed inside.
"Mr. Blackwood, let me."
She said hurriedly, pausing Sebastian’s action of applying the ointment himself. He didn’t say anything and just let her proceed.
Ivy had a knack for applying ointment. Her touch was gentle, not causing Sebastian any discomfort.
As he half-closed his eyes, Sebastian suddenly asked, "The baby in your belly is almost three months old?"
Ivy paused and cautiously replied, "Two and a half months."
It wasn’t yet three months. In a few days, it would be time for a prenatal checkup.
There was only about a month and a half left before they could find out whose child it really was.
Ivy couldn’t help but have some expectations in her heart.
If it turned out the child was his, would he stop disliking the baby so much?
Before long, the ointment was applied.
Ivy was about to leave with her things when Sebastian said, "I’ve already informed the school about your suspension. You can attend classes as usual now."
Ivy was surprised. She never expected Sebastian to be so kind. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.ɴet
This means she could graduate normally.
Immediately, Ivy happily hugged Sebastian, "Thank you!"
Seeing her so excited, Sebastian’s lips curled slightly.
But he coldly said, "It’s just because you helped me apply the ointment."
Ivy smiled sweetly, and without thinking, she tiptoed and kissed the side of his face, "Thank you anyway!"
After the kiss, Ivy realized what she had done and panicked.
She had just kissed Sebastian...
Swallowing, Ivy was a bit afraid to see his reaction and quickly hurried away with the ointment.
Sebastian’s cool gaze watched her retreating figure, softening slightly.
At this moment, a call suddenly came through.
"Is this Master Blackwood? I’d like to propose a deal with you."
