Upon hearing these words and seeing the tears inexplicably streaming down, Rod’s heart also started to panic.
After being together for four years, it was the first time he saw Ivy wearing such a helpless and sad
expression.
In the past, no matter what happened, as long as she was in front of him, she was always full of vitality and smiling.
She lost confidence in this relationship because she was afraid that he would misunderstand.
Although he didn’t know exactly what had happened, he instinctively went up and hugged her. “I’m
sorry, sweetheart, don’t cry. It was my fault. I got angry when I heard you calling her sister–in–law today. From now on, brother will never do that again, okay?”
After saying that, he wanted to kiss her again.
This time, his actions were gentler than before.
But Ivy still pushed him away.
“Menstruation.”
“It has been so long, and it hasn’t ended yet?”
“Well, maybe it was because I had a fever last time, so it never really went away.”
Remembering the way she looked drowsy and sluggish that day, a hint of concern flashed in Rod’s
eyes.
He no longer forced her, but gently carried her into the room, reached out to turn off the lights, and embraced her as they got onto the bed.
Ivy was so tired that she couldn’t keep her eyes open, and as soon as she touched the bed, she fell into a deep sleep.
Rod was slightly stunned as he looked at her peaceful sleeping face under the dim night light.
He remembered many random past events in his mind, until three o’clock, when he cherished her by kissing her forehead and squinted slightly.
The curtains in the room were not pulled, and the morning sunlight shone in, waking up Rod.
The person lying beside him was still asleep, and as they turned slightly, it caused a wave of soreness in his already numb hand.

He opened his eyes and saw the clock on the table pointing past nine o’clock, and he froze.
Why didn’t his biological clock wake him up on time today?
Remembering that breakfast at home was usually arranged at this time, Rod quickly rolled out of
bed.
After opening the door, he tiptoed back to the bedroom at the other end.
Ivy’s mother appeared at the staircase after a few steps, and saw him coming out of her daughter’s room in his pajamas. She stood there, completely stunned.
“Rod?!”
Rod couldn’t help but look at his disheveled collar, feeling like his heart was about to burst out of
his chest.
Ivy’s mother on the other end also snapped back to reality, her face showing an increasingly intense expression of doubt.
“Rod? Why did you come out of Ivy’s room!”
Rod’s still groggy mind was about to crash.
Just as he didn’t know how to explain, the door behind him suddenly opened.
Ivy appeared neatly dressed, looking calmly at the two people in front of her.
“Good morning, Mom.”
“Hey, bro, call me to have a meal, why are you walking so fast?”
It was just a misunderstanding.
Ivy’s mother’s restless heart finally calmed down, and she waved at the two children, “Come and have dinner quickly.”
Ivy nodded, took two quick steps, and held her mother’s hand as they went downstairs.
Just as she had just come downstairs, she froze because Yvette was sitting at the dining table, smiling and waving at her.
“Ivy, I came to discuss the wedding arrangements with Rod, hope you don’t mind.”
Before she could speak, Ivy’s mother smiled and took over, “You, my child, Ivy is Rod’s sister, and you are Rod’s girlfriend. You are discussing the wedding, what does a little girl like her have to be concerned about?”

Upon hearing this, Ivy tugged at her lips.
Yes, from now on, she was just a younger sister, so naturally there was nothing to mind about.
She sat down at the dining table and silently listened to Yvette pulling Rod, asking him about the
wedding.
“Rod, if we were to have a wedding, what do you think about having a lawn wedding? Or would it be better to go to the beach? Do you prefer diamond or gemstone rings?”
