Chapter 64: Chapter 64: She Is the Biological Mother of My Two Sons
Ivana didn’t cause trouble for the bartender. On the pretext of going to the restroom to handle the spill on her clothes, she escaped the two men arguing over her.
Ivana had just left.
Howard caught Leon watching her leave and raised an eyebrow, "Are you serious this time?"
Leon withdrew his gaze, frowning, "No, it’s fake."
Howard didn’t believe him: "Fake and yet so earnest? Can’t even joke about it? Leon, you weren’t like this before."
In the past, when Leon took a female companion out, Howard joked around, and Leon wouldn’t get angry. There was even a time when Howard deliberately said he wanted to be with Leon’s female companion to test him, and Leon acted unconcerned.
Today, he merely glanced at this woman a couple more times, and Leon got angry as if guarding a precious treasure, not allowing him even a second glance, and still claims he’s not serious?
Leon’s handsome face turned stern. Was he serious? It must be Howard’s eyesight that’s faulty!
Ivana doesn’t care for him, and he might not care for Ivana either. He’s just spending time with Ivana to regain custody of his son.
Besides, this time Ivana was the one who took the initiative to find him to be his companion.
He never sought Ivana out; he even let Derrick choose a companion for him, but Ivana insisted on being his companion.
Seeing Ivana as the mother of his two children, he agreed.
Howard noticed Leon pursing his thin lips, unwilling to say more, his almond-shaped eyes flashing slyly as he teased, "It’s fine if you don’t admit it. You say it’s fake, I’ll treat it as fake then, and I’ll wait for you to ditch her."
Leon’s handsome face became icy, radiating coldness, "If I ditch her, you can’t pursue her either."
Howard reacted with shock, "Why?"
Leon replied in a deep voice, "Because she’s the biological mother of my two sons."
Howard was dumbfounded.
What? Did he hear wrong? This twist in the plot is too big; his mind can’t keep pace with Leon’s rhythm.
They even have sons, two of them, and Leon still says it’s fake?
How can fake yield two real sons?
...
As Ivana just walked into the women’s restroom, a shadow followed quickly, locking the door behind them. Startled by the noise behind her, Ivana turned around and was shocked to see the man locking the door.
"Zachary?"
"You’re really something, back in the country only for a short while and you’ve hooked up with Leon already?" Zachary, with a handsome face, was very angry at this moment, walking quickly toward Ivana, seeing her retreat in defense.
Zachary grew angrier, reaching to grab Ivana as she tried to escape, blocking her against the high-end marble washbasin.
"Zachary, what are you trying to do? Let me go." Ivana struggled fiercely. Right now, she realized that the man she once loved deeply, she couldn’t tolerate him even touching her slightly, both physically and mentally, developing an extreme aversion and repulsion.
He sneered at her, "Do what? Fulfill the marital duties you didn’t complete six years ago."
She was once his wife, rightfully his, why should Leon benefit?
Ivana thought she must have misheard. How could Zachary say such shameless words?
"Zachary, don’t forget we divorced six years ago. We have no relation now. If you dare touch me, I’ll sue you, and you’ll be sentenced to prison."
"Heh... Ivana, still acting noble in front of me, are you? You cling to Leon and don’t feel ashamed? Your body filthy? I’m not despising you; you should be grateful, comparing who’s better between Leon and me?"
Zachary pushed his luck.
Ivana was taken aback, and without thinking, she raised her high-heeled shoe to fiercely kick Zachary.
Zachary felt the pain and released Ivana.
Ivana slid off the washbasin, landing unsteadily on the floor, her legs trembling. She mustered her strength, clattering as she ran to open the restroom door.
Zachary suddenly blocked the restroom door with his body, his expression twisted into a snarl, "Ivana, you tramp, with Leon already, you despise your ex-husband now?"
"Don’t think Leon will genuinely care for you; the women around him change every three months. You’re merely his plaything!"
Ivana’s back hit the hard tiles, making her gasp in pain as she heard Zachary spewing words akin to a shameless rogue. She felt no fear, just intense disgust at the notion.
Zachary was utterly revolting.
She must’ve been blind before to fall for this hypocrite.
"Help... help me..." Ivana screamed for rescue.
Zachary sharply covered her mouth with his hand, smirking viciously, "Don’t call out. No one will come to save you at this sort of banquet."
"Including Leon, he’s probably in a pile of women right now, with other women, and has no time to save you?"
Jealous, extremely jealous, mentioning Leon made Zachary feel as if a knife had pierced his heart, causing unbearable pain. He suddenly realized he cared for this woman a lot.
But intense jealousy uglified him, prompting him to utter vulgar words to shame Ivana. It’s all Ivana’s fault; her love for him lacked steadfastness, and now she’s looking elsewhere.
No man can tolerate this.
Outside the women’s restroom.
Two glamorously dressed women were eavesdropping.
"Michelle, is it really your fiancé?" It was too unbelievable; Pearl’s eyes widened in astonishment. Zachary, back then, was a campus star, every schoolgirl’s heartthrob, including Pearl herself.
