Chapter 159 Overnight at Ivan’s Place 

“Blargh!” 

As the burning sensation in my stomach surfaced, I couldn’t hold back the urge to vomit. A bag appeared before me just in time, followed by Ivan’s slightly deep voice, “Don’t puke in my car.” 

I heaved into the bag without hesitating. The space began to smell, but I didn’t care at the moment. After my stomach settled a bit, I tied up the bag and wiped my mouth with a piece of tissue. I turned my head groggily and looked at Ivan. 

“How did I end up in your car?” 

“Olivia asked me to pick you up,” Ivan said calmly as he drove. “Are you planning to destroy your body by drinking?” 

“Don’t you already know? I can’t have children anymore. What’s the use of this body?” I chuckled bitterly. “Ivan, do you still consider me a complete woman?” 

“Why wouldn’t you be? Do you need children to be complete? Who told you that?” 

We stopped at a red light, and Ivan turned to look at me. There was a slight glint in his eyes. “You can find a man who doesn’t mind that about you, right?” 

I sighed deeply. “Which man wouldn’t mind? But you promised me you wouldn’t tell anyone about this! You better keep your word, or I won’t let you off!” 

Maybe it was the alcohol talking, but I sounded harsh. Despite knowing Ivan was the only person I could confide in about everything, I couldn’t help but threaten him. 

I was sure this behavior was the aftermath of my drunkenness. 

“What would you do?” Ivan asked again. Maybe it was due to the alcohol in my system, but I felt a gentle warmth in his gaze as he looked at me. 

“I don’t know, but you’ll die a miserable death!” I replied casually, then closed my eyes to rest. 

Ivan didn’t know the exact address of my home, and I had forgotten that. When I woke up, I found myself in his apartment. 

Single men who kept themselves tidy were different. Ivan’s bedroom was exceptionally clean. There was no trace of a woman’s presence. There was no perfume in the air, only a faint scent of soap coming from the bedding. 

I didn’t know about other men, like Rowan, for instance. Our interactions mainly took place at Windwill Estate. Apart from Ashley, he didn’t bring any other women back to the 

estate. 

In my heart, though, I couldn’t help but feel Ivan was different. Despite his status and background, he chose a demanding and noble profession without relying much on his family’s influence. He didn’t go wild with his wealth and position. He truly was a good man. 

I only hoped things wouldn’t end up as they did in my past life, when things between him and Rowan almost fell apart completely. 

“Are you awake? Come have something to eat.” As I stepped out of the bedroom, I heard Ivan’s voice and Bobo’s meow. 

“How did I end up here?” My head was pounding a bit. But thankfully, I was still wearing the same clothes. 

Otherwise, I would have another type of headache. 

Bobo rubbed against my legs, and I bent down to pick him up. Then, he made a disgusted sound and struggled to jump down from my arms. 

Ivan watched this scene and shrugged helplessly. “You should take a shower first. There’s no one else here, so I couldn’t help you change.” 

I smelled of alcohol and vomit, and it was truly unpleasant. Feeling awkward, I headed to the bathroom. Just as I finished showering, Ivan’s voice came from outside again. 

“I’ve got a change of clothes for you. They’re on the sink outside.” 

“Okay, thank you!” I replied loudly, but I was puzzled. 

Hadn’t my parents tried to reach me last night? 

Ivan’s clothes were obviously too big for me, but it was better than wearing yesterday’s dirty clothes. I tucked the hem into my pants and rolled up the sleeves before stepping out of the bathroom. The first thing I did was check my phone. 

There were two missed calls from Mom and a text from Olivia that said, “Ivy, I told your mom you drank too much and stayed over at my place tonight.” 

I really admired Olivia. Sometimes, her actions matched what Jean would do. Before, they had quietly suspected whether Ivan had feelings for me. Now, she directly arranged for him to pick me up when I was drunk. 

They were both equally bold. Also, it seemed like she wasn’t afraid of me doing anything untoward while drunk. 

“What’s wrong?” Ivan asked when he saw me holding my phone motionlessly. 

“Nothing. Thanks for picking me up last night. Sorry for the trouble,” I put away my phone and thanked him politely. “You really are kind, just like how a doctor should be!” 

Ivan glanced at me. “If it were anyone else, do you think I would have picked them up?” 

What was he implying? It felt a bit ambiguous, and I felt frustrated. I didn’t want Ivan to actually have any other feelings for me! 

At that moment, I experienced what real awkwardness felt like. 

“Uh, well, we’re friends after all. If it were a stranger, you probably wouldn’t have been so kind. I know that,” I chuckled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject. “Dr. York, your cooking skills are really impressive! Did you make all of this?” 

I walked over to the dining table and admired the delicious breakfast spread. 

Ivan glanced at me and replied, “It was Bobo.” 

“Meow!” Bobo seemed to understand human speech as he echoed with a meow. 

I felt like I had asked a redundant question. In the apartment, it was just Ivan, me, and a cat. 

If he didn’t make breakfast, who else could have done it? 

In this slightly awkward atmosphere, I finished my breakfast. The food tasted good, but the air felt a bit tense. 

Throughout the meal, I couldn’t help but think of Ivan from my past life. 

Why had he changed so much? How come he hadn’t developed any feelings for Ashley yet?
