Chapter 99 Preparation in Advance
"Ivy!" Maria worried a lot. She took some more tissues and pressed on Ivy's wound hurriedly. Then she said to the driver, "Go to the hospital. Hurry to the hospital!"
"No, back to the hotel! I'm not going to the hospital!" Ivy had Magic Pearl. She didn't need to go to hospitals. But now was not the right time to use the Magic Pearl to heal her wound.
Ivy was so determined that Maria had no choice but to agree to return to the hotel first.
Maria worried Ivy would be too sad, so she kept comforting Ivy.
"Ivy, don't be sad. If the Ashford family doesn't want you, you don't marry Alexander. From now on, you can live in a small hotel. I will raise the children with you. Anyway, I don't have children. I will regard them as my own.
"If you like, I can let my mother take you as her goddaughter. From today onwards, my mother will be the children's grandma, and I will be their aunt..."
Maria's speech made Ivy's tears fall like rain.
The Ashford Villa.
All the servants were shocked by Mrs. Ashford slapping Alexander. They were stunned for a moment.
Alexander was always strong and cold. Everyone feared him. He was beaten by an old lady who was nearly seventy years old!?
The critical point was that the old lady was Alexander's grandma! He couldn't vent his anger or fight back!
For two solid minutes, Alexander and Mrs. Ashford confronted coldly. The atmosphere was tense and cold.
No one dared to speak at this time, for fear of losing their lives.
"Since you are determined to sever the relationship, fine! I will help you!" Alexander grabbed the car keys and was about to leave the villa.
"Alexander, what do you mean? For a cheap bitch, you want to sever the relationship with your family?" Mrs. Ashford claimed angrily, "You are the only descendant of the Ashford family. Have you forgotten?"
"Heh, don't you still have a daughter and a grandson?" Alexander got in the car with a cold face.
"That's different. They're not the Ashford family blood!" Mrs. Ashford said angrily.
But at this time, Alexander had already got into the car.
Before leaving, Alexander told his assistant, "Ethan, from now on, you are the temporary housekeeper here. Take care of the house!"
"Yes, Mr. Ashford!" Ethan knew what Alexander meant. He worried Mrs. Ashford would discover the secret in the family and asked him to guard the house.
However, after Alexander left, Mrs. Ashford still broke into Alexander's villa.
She suspected that Ivy was still hiding in this villa.
Ethan wanted to stop Mrs. Ashford, but he was afraid she would be unable to withstand the torment. She was too old. So Ethan had to let her go.
Even if Annabel found out something, Ethan would find a way to fool her.
Mrs. Ashford went around the villa but couldn't find Ivy. She felt a lot more comfortable. However, she saw a special suite in the house, which was divided into six small rooms, like kindergarten children's accommodation. Mrs. Ashford walked in curiously.
"Ethan, what does this mean?"
Leo hurriedly said, "Grandma, Alexander wants to open a kindergarten at home."
"Open a kindergarten?" Mrs. Ashford stared hard at Ethan. "What is his problem?"
Ethan rolled his eyes and said, "Mrs. Ashford, didn't you ask Mr. Ashford to breed to enlarge the Ashford family? This is called prepare ahead. He is making preparations in advance."
"That's good! I like the preparation in advance idea!" A satisfied smile appeared on Mrs. Ashford's face.
Seeing Annabel laughing, Ethan became bold and introduced all the "preparations" to her.
"Mrs. Ashford, to adapt to life with children as soon as possible, Mr. Ashford bought a lot of children's toys and even built a Children's amusement park in the back garden. Even the servants' dishes and spoons are cartoon painted."
"Oh? He's so concerned about breeding?" Mrs. Ashford was more and more satisfied. But when she thought of Ivy, all her good mood was gone.
"Ethan, did Ivy sleep with Alexander after she moved in? A woman like her must never conceive Alexander's child!"
