CHAPTER 854: CHAPTER 532: I’M HER BACKER

What we need to do now is follow his heart, like the people he loves, respect his life, and not force her with our methods.

You should also realize, Henry is not a child anymore. If you want to reconnect as his mother, there’s only one way—change your temper.

Or, do you not want this son anymore?"

"Of course I do," Nathan became anxious, "I carried him for ten months, even if it costs my life, I have to have my son."

"That’s why I went through great lengths to persuade Ivy to come and work at the company, just to create more opportunities for us to connect with him.

But your bad temper keeps causing trouble.

Think about it, if today Henry came home and saw you chatting and laughing with Ivy, would he still act like this with you?"

"How could I chat and laugh with her? I really don’t like her, you didn’t see how she spoke to me just now."

"The kid is straightforward and says what she thinks, isn’t that just like you when you were younger?

When did you ever hold back when speaking to my mom?

If my mom didn’t tolerate you, and instead hated you every day, you would’ve turned against her long ago."

Nathan couldn’t help but smile at his words, "Our mom has indeed been good to me. I never really did anything for her to dislike."

"Then what did Ivy do wrong? Tell me, if you can point out her real mistake, I’ll help you talk to her."

Nathan thought for a moment and then fell silent, "Alright, stop lecturing me. You always give me lessons. Aren’t you tired of it? I get it, I get it, isn’t that enough?"

"Knowing isn’t enough; you have to change."

Nathan rolled her eyes at him and stayed silent. Damian knew her well and understood that she would consider it seriously.

On the way home, Ivy sat in the passenger seat, quietly giggling.

Henry gave her a sidelong glance, "What are you laughing at? Look at that silly look on your face."

"What am I laughing at? I’m laughing because my husband is awesome.

Really, you were so cool today, Uncle. I’ll give you one hundred and eighty likes."

Henry didn’t say anything; he seemed to be lost in thought. Ivy tapped his arm, "Why are you so deep in thought all of a sudden?"

"What’s the maximum?"

"What?"

"Likes, you said you gave me one hundred and eighty. What’s the cap?"

"Pfft," Ivy couldn’t help but giggle, "you’re such a relic."

"Why are you laughing?"

"I’m laughing because you’re cute. One hundred is the limit. I gave you an extra eighty, just to make you proud."

Henry’s left lip curled up, "You young folks nowadays speak in such an outrageous way."

Ivy decided not to discuss such trivial matters with him.

"Uncle, you came to my rescue just in time today."

"I think I was late. I should’ve told you not to go to the banquet when you decided to attend.

That way, you wouldn’t have had to listen to my mom’s nonsense."

Ivy raised her eyebrows, blaming herself for knowingly stepping into a trap.

The most annoying one was Florence Wilder, an absolute flamboyant red lotus.

A simple white lotus couldn’t describe her deviousness.

"Your mom’s senseless blabber is probably unchangeable.

I guess she’ll never like me, so I’m done pretending to be a good girl.

When I spoke to your mom today, you wouldn’t believe the amount of courage I had to muster.

I thought to myself, worst-case scenario, if you found out and scolded me, I’d just divorce you.

I’d rather be on my own than put up with this nonsense."

Henry couldn’t help but glance over at her with a smile, "No wonder you were a bit nervous when I appeared."

"Wouldn’t I be? Although you supposedly have a falling out with your mom, she did give birth to you.

I’ve never had a direct conflict with her before. What if, just this once, you didn’t back me up? Wouldn’t I be finished?

It’s one thing to lose face in front of many people once, but twice? I could hardly live like that.

I’d rather go back quietly to sell my adult toys than deal with this."

While driving, Henry couldn’t help but quip, "Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid. I promised to stand by you, and I won’t change my mind.

Besides, even if we weren’t together, I’d still stick with you. I can’t afford to lose a wife at this age.

Moreover, I know my mom’s temperament. You’re not the type to provoke things, but she is.

I don’t believe you’d criticize her without a good reason."

"Do you think it’s awkward that we just left like that, might it be hard on Mom and Dad?"

"My dad will handle it. You don’t have to worry about the company’s affairs anymore.

If you feel embarrassed and don’t want to return to the company, you don’t have to go from tomorrow."

"No," Nelson shook his head while looking at him, "Why shouldn’t I go? Of course, I should."

The red lotus is still there, she must expose her true colors bit by bit.

Watching Florence Wilder flaunt confidently in front of her mother-in-law irks her.

That woman can put on an act, and it’s not like she can’t, she can too.

So... she plans to continue going to the company to compete with that woman.

"Is there any other reason you have to go to the company?"

"Yes," Ivy looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "Remember, the company was saved thanks to me, didn’t you admit it?

Since it was saved thanks to me, I’m the big hero of the company.

I can’t let those who gossiped about me behind my back get away with it for nothing.

As long as I’m at the company, they have to be cautious with their work.

They need to understand clearly that the fact they still have jobs is because of me.

In short, I won’t take this lying down."

Firing others is unlikely, but scaring them a bit, strutting around shouldn’t be a problem.

Henry smiled at her, she really does have a childlike disposition.
