Ha. Owen’s idea of “making it right” was moving Ivy Wells into the villa next door.
Ivy was looking radiant as she directed people moving furniture inside.
When she saw me, she gave me a taunting smile.
“Miss Blake, I told Owen I loved your home’s layout, so he had designers recreate the exact same setup.”
“Even the nursery is identical.”
Owen walked out of the house, and when he saw me, his expression got a bit awkward. But he still immediately stepped in front of Ivy to protect her.
“Ivy likes the house here. You’re not living in the same place, so you won’t bother each other.”
Watching him stand so firmly in front of Ivy, I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt.
Owen suddenly softened his tone.
“Nora, you hurt Ivy last time. Apologize to her, and you two can get along from now on.”
I looked at Owen, somewhat speechless.
What the hell was he thinking?
How could a wife possibly get along peacefully with a mistress?
When I didn’t grovel and apologize as he’d expected, a flash of displeasure crossed Owen Pierce’s eyes.
“Nora, when I give you an out, you should take it. If I wasn’t holding back, you’d already be in jail right now.”
What a joke. Even if he wanted to send me there, he’d need evidence.
I’d deleted all the surveillance footage clean.
If I didn’t have more important things to do today, I’d show him exactly what kind of person Nora Blake really was.
“Mommy,”
Mason’s sweet voice came from behind me. He was holding his teddy bear, waiting quietly for me.
I couldn’t help but soften my expression.
But then Ivy Wells actually crouched down right in front of Mason.
I moved to stop her, but Owen blocked me.
“You’re Mason, right? I heard you’ve been sick and weak since you were little?”
“Do you know why your body is so weak?”
“Because when your mom was pregnant with you, she was still fooling around with lots of men outside. She went too far and caused you to be born premature. It’s all because of what your mom did. Who knows how much longer you’ll even live.”
“I’m different though. I keep myself pure. I’ll definitely give Owen a healthy child.”
Ivy let out a fake sigh.
