Chapter 357: Is work important or is marriage important?
How did they meet? Alexander's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
He vividly remembers that day four years ago when he made plans to meet his friends for drinks at a bar, but ended up being approached by a drunk Ivy.
This woman, tightly clinging to his waist, insisted on him taking her to the bathroom, and even mentioned something about giving him a fragrant bath.
And then... well, the next thing he knew, they had sextuplets.
Strictly speaking, they met by accident on a one-night stand.
"Mr. Ashford..." the hotel reporter noticed Alexander's distraction and quickly reminded him.
Alexander cleared his throat immediately. "Regarding how Ivy and I met, I have mentioned it once at Fiona's banquet. I won't repeat it here. In short, lovers eventually become family.
I am extremely grateful to my wife, Ivy, for enduring hardship and giving birth to our six daughters. She is an extraordinary woman, whom I admire, respect, and deeply love."
At this point, Alexander's devoted gaze met the camera lens, and his gentle voice spoke, "Ivy, I owe you and our children so much. From now on, I will use all my strength to make it up to you and our children, to protect you all, and to never let any harm come your way."
On the big screen, the stunningly beautiful Ivy shyly nodded. "Alexander, thank you. Actually, I don't have high expectations for our future marital life. As long as my husband respects me, understands me, supports me, and never abandons me, it's enough."
Isn't this request too simple?
Everyone felt that Ivy's expectations were too low!
Alexander reassured her by patting his chest. "Ivy, I will definitely respect you, understand you, support you, and never abandon you."
"Well..." Ivy looked straight into the camera, her eyes filled with affection, as she asked, "I want to work. Will you support me?"
"This..." Alexander was suddenly dumbfounded.
This woman is really cunning. It turns out, everything she said earlier was leading up to this moment.
He just promised to respect, understand, and support Ivy. If he doesn't support her in her work now, he would be contradicting himself.
But if he does support Ivy's work, she might start working as soon as tomorrow.
He had always hoped that Ivy would be a full-time wife of the Ashford family.
"Don't you want to support me?" Ivy's beautiful eyes on the big screen showed a hint of disappointment.
All eyes shifted to Alexander.
Facing the camera, Alexander replied, "Ivy, with my resources, I am fully capable of supporting you and our children. You don't need to work to earn money. But if you find it boring and want to pass the time through work, I can arrange for you to join the Ashford family group and have some easy tasks. How do you feel about that?"
Ivy shook her head in disappointment. "Alexander, I want to work not just to pass the time or simply to earn money...
Moreover, I have already found a job and signed the contract. I will start tomorrow, so there's no need for you to make other arrangements for me..."
Upon hearing these words, Alexander's newlywed joy vanished completely.
"Ivy, we just got married today, and you're already going to work tomorrow? Is work more important, or is our marriage more important?
Do you know that I have already decided to take a month off, and even planned our honeymoon itinerary? Tomorrow morning, we can set off on our honeymoon, but now..."
Ivy pouted with a hint of grievances, "I already told you about the job yesterday, but you just told me about the honeymoon now..."
