As looked at my excited face and said, "Didn''t you say you wanted to end this quickly? Let''s do it, then."


    He grinned.


    Just then, his phone rang again. He picked it up, nced at it, raised an eyebrow, and answered. "Yes?"


    I heard Dn''s voice on the other end.


    "Mr. As, she went to meet Felix''s brother, Franklin, today. He''s awyer, but when Franklin found out about the incident, he left quietly without meeting her."


    "Good! Let''s apply pressure through public opinion and have Adrian request a court hearing."


    After saying that, he hung up the phone.


    I looked at him happily. "That was about Liora, right? If everything goes well, the court hearing will happen soon, won''t it?"


    "Absolutely," As responded confidently.


    "That''s great!" I was even more delighted.


    "Doesn''t this call for a thank you?" As looked at me with a mischievous smile.


    I quickly leaned over and pecked him on the lips.


    He extended his hand and pulled me close. "Just one kiss? Can''t you show a little more sincerity?"


    I tried to push him away. "Are you being unreasonable again?"


    His handsome face approached mine, "Didn''t you just say we were legally married? How am I being unreasonable?"This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    I chuckled helplessly, unable to respond. He always had a way with words.


    Against his cunning, I had no room for resistance.


    The next day, I gritted my teeth and got up early despite my exhaustion.


    I hadn''t taken Ivanna to the hospital yesterday, and if I didn''t do it again today, I wouldn''t be able to exin myself.


    I went to Ivanna''s ce, where a small struggle was under way. Lauren was trying to persuade Ivanna, who was hiding under the nket, to get up.


    "Don''t you remember our talkst


    night? Didn''t we make everything


    clear? Why are you ying around again today? Come on, get up. Let''s go to the hospital together"


    Ivanna whined from under the nket, "Can''t I sleep a little longer, Lauren? Please? Right now, all I want to do is sleep, not go to the hospital."


    Lauren was so frustrated that her face turned pale. She looked at me with a pained expression.


    I walked forward, reached out, and lifted the nket covering Ivanna. With a stern face, I scolded, "Get up quickly ande with us to the hospital!"


    Ivanna raised her head and looked at me disdainfully. She pursed her lips but didn''t dare speak. After a brief standoff, she reluctantly sat up and sighed before crawling out of bed, heading to the bathroom.


    Lauren immediately said to me, "You really can be authoritative."


    She gave me a thumbs-up and quickly turned to leave. Before going out, she said, "I was just making breakfast. Keep an eye on her. I''ll


    check on the food. Have you eaten?"


    "I have," I replied as she hurried away.


    I reached out to tidy up the bed, then waited by the bathroom door. I didn''t know what Ivanna was doing inside, but eventually, I had to knock.


    "What are you doing in there? Aren''t you done?" I spoke sternly.


    After a while, she finally came out, pouting and ncing at me unhappily.


    She seemed extremely displeased as she muttered something under her breath.


    When I saw her like that, I couldn''t help but smile secretly.


    She walked into the room, opened the wardrobe, pulled out a dress, and quickly put it on. Then, she tidied her hair in a swift motion.


    I stood there watching her, and she kept her back to me the entire time.


    When she finished, she turned around like a child who had done something wrong, avoiding eye contact.


    "Is this enough?"


    Her expression made me burst outughing.


    "You''re terrible. Just tell me what you have to say."
