"Ivy, long time no see."
In front of June Keane, Nina Shaw raised a smile.
However, Ivy Kensington was not in the mood for pleasantries and said to June, "Mom, is there a reason you’ve come back today?"
Hearing Ivy still call her ’Mom’, June felt much relieved.
The next second, she turned to face Nina Shaw and said sternly, "Dear daughter-in-law, I’ve heard about the recent events. The reason I called you here is to make it clear that the only daughter-in-law I recognize is you; Nina doesn’t count!"
Nina Shaw’s face immediately turned pale.
She had thought June called her here for something good, only to realize she was being embarrassed in front of Ivy!
"Auntie, your words..."
Before she could finish, June interrupted her directly, "Nina, it’s true you grew up with Sebastian, but you must understand, Sebastian has no romantic feelings for you, at most he regards you as a sister. Besides, not only is Sebastian married now, he also has Ronnie. You’re a good girl, and you know not to destroy someone else’s family."
June’s words almost pointed at Nina’s nose, accusing her of shamelessly being a homewrecker!
Some maids standing nearby listened to this and cast their glances over.
"Indeed, it was understandable for Miss Shaw to cling to Master Blackwood before, but now that Master Blackwood is married, it’s improper..."
"Madam is right. Previously, when Ms. Kensington and Ronnie left home, it was Miss Shaw who caused trouble. A mistress is truly detestable."
The whispering of the maids reached Nina’s ears, and she gritted her teeth secretly.
That June, damned old woman!
Clenching her lips in grievance, Nina suddenly thought of something and innocently said, "But Auntie, Brother Sebastian and I have long been intimate as a husband and wife. Brother Sebastian initiated it; there’s no way he only sees me as a sister..."
Intimate as husband and wife?
June’s stern expression grew even darker.
She knew her son well enough to believe he would never commit adultery.
She sneered, "Nina, you might be able to fool others with that claim, but not me."
Just then, Sebastian Blackwood happened to come back.
He had come upon hearing that Ivy had returned to the Blackwood family.
Upon entering, the entire atmosphere in the Blackwood family seemed stifled.
"Brother Sebastian..."
As soon as Nina saw him, she rushed over.
Sebastian frowned slightly and glanced instinctively in Ivy’s direction, whose gaze met his.
Their eyes collided, and Sebastian pushed Nina away, not allowing her to hug him.
Taking a deep breath in defiance, Nina said, "Brother Sebastian, Auntie doesn’t believe me, so I ask you, haven’t we long been intimate as husband and wife?"
After all, in his heart, she was the woman who had been by his side every night.
Sebastian’s expression darkened, "Nina!"
Who taught her to ask such questions in front of everyone?
Nina stomped her foot, "Brother Sebastian, don’t you want to admit it, do you forget about those nights..."
Sebastian coldly interrupted, but he only silenced Nina without denying her words.
This attitude was enough to indicate that Nina was telling the truth—they had long been intimate as husband and wife! Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel✦fire.net
Ivy remained silent, but at that moment, she let out a self-deprecating laugh.
She had actually still hoped for Sebastian to explain...
"Aunt June, I have to go pick up Ronnie from school, so I’ll be leaving first."
With that, Ivy started to walk away.
June was anxious. She had originally called Ivy over today to stand up for her, but unexpectedly, it backfired. It was all because of her disappointing son!
Sebastian’s voice lowered as he grabbed Ivy’s wrist.
