Chapter 2
The alarm clock at eight in the morning promptly woke Ivy up from her dream.
She opened her eyes and saw that there was no one beside her.
Afraid of being discovered by their parents, they agreed that Rod would come every day at midnight
and leave promptly at five in the morning. They lived like this for a full five years.
But soon, they were just siblings, and he no longer had to sneak around.
After changing her clothes, she went downstairs and immediately saw a stranger sitting on the
sofa.
Ivy’s mother warmly waved her hand and called her over, enthusiastically introducing, “Ivy, come
here. This is your brother’s girlfriend. Go and pour a glass of water for the guest.”
Yvette Ford stood up cooperatively, extended her hand towards him, and smiled with curved
eyebrows and eyes.
“You must be Rod’s sister, nice to meet you. Although it’s our first time meeting, I often hear your brother praise you.”
Ivy’s hand trembled slightly as she glanced at Rod, but she didn’t ask anything. She turned around
and went to pour water for her.
She poured a cup of hot water and was about to carry it out when Rod came in.
He held her waist and bent down to kiss her.
Ivy quickly turned her head to avoid it, “Don’t make a scene, your girlfriend is outside.”
Rod raised an eyebrow and pecked her lips. “Are you angry? I forgot to tell you, she’s just an old childhood friend of mine. She went abroad when she was very young and just returned a few days
ago. My father has been pressuring me to get married, so I brought her along to act in a play, just to appease him and prevent him from meddling in my love life.”
“Who is my girlfriend, you should know best, right?”
Ivy listened quietly for a while, without any expression, and casually nodded her head to respond.
Looking at her plain appearance, a hint of surprise flashed in Rod’s eyes.
He thought that this time he would have to coax for a long time again.
After all, there used to be a little girl who would send him love letters. Whenever she caught sight of them, she would become extremely jealous and cry until her eyes swelled up and couldn’t open.

He found out and asked her, but she refused to say. He had to come up with ways to trick her into telling him a few honest words.
Originally, she believed that this forbidden relationship between them was not acceptable in society, and she could never openly stand by his side as his girlfriend.
So she never dared to question him, nor did she get angry. She would only hide under the blanket and sulk by herself.
It was the same plot again, but her reaction was so indifferent,
Rod couldn’t help but feel confused.
He was about to ask, but Ivy didn’t give him a chance to speak and went out with a glass of water in her hand.
After breakfast was prepared, the family sat down as usual.
Yvette was assigned to be with Rod.
The two people chatted and laughed about their childhood memories, displaying an intimate and close appearance.
Yvette stayed overseas for a few years and enjoyed eating runny fried eggs. When Rod found out, he passed the fried eggs from his bowl.
She immediately showed the shy and coy demeanor of a little girl, and she also put the fried egg that she had bitten into his bowl.
Rod unconsciously glanced at Ivy.
She lowered her head and focused on drinking porridge as if she hadn’t seen what had just happened.
When she looked up to grab a tissue, he picked up the egg and took a bite.
Ivy happened to look over silently, put down the spoon, and left the seat.
Seeing her about to leave, Yvette quickly called out to her, “Ivy, are you going out? Rod and I are also going on a date, wait a moment, let’s go together.”
Ivy was about to refuse when Rod’s father spoke up.
“It was raining outside, so your brother would take you, otherwise your mother and I would also be worried.”
Rod’s father spoke up, and Ivy couldn’t refuse. She had no choice but to go to the garage first.

The place she was going to was the visa office, so in this way, wouldn’t Rod know that she was gring overseas?
After thinking it over, she couldn’t find any other way, so she gave up as well,
You know, you know, anyway, the itinerary has been arranged, and he couldn’t do anything
After a while, the two people who arrived late also got in the car.
Yvette deviated from her usual behavior and sat in the back seat, deliberately striking up a conversation with Ivy.
She was not in the mood and responded perfunctorily with a few words,
The car slowly drove away, and the sound of rain gradually became clear.
Yvette leaned in close to her ear, deliberately lowering her voice.
“I knew you didn’t like me, and I also knew that you and Rod had an unusual sibling relationship, but you two could never have a future together. Rod also had some feelings for me, believe it or not. If I wanted to, I could snatch him away from you.”
