Mr Leo's petty little wife

CHAPTER 7 

"Honey, what's the matter, you don't seem so happy about Ivy getting married ".

"Humm it is not that I am not happy that she is getting married, I want to keep you all to myself and the best way I can do that is by marrying her off to someone ".

Mr Albert laughed at his wife's comment, this little wife of his is always protective of him.

"Okay, so what's the problem? Since you want to marry her off so badly, why are you unhappy? ".

"Well I am not happy with whom she's getting married to, I don't trust the Austin family. I keep having this feeling that they are not sincere towards our daughter. Even if I want to marry her off I need to send her where she would be loved and cherished. She is still my daughter at the end of the day and I want what's best for her."

Mr Albert sighed " Everything will be fine if they ever hurt our daughter I will make them pay".  He meant every word he said

He kissed his wife's head, pulling her closer as he kept reassuring her. He was finally able to coax her to sleep.

His wife's words really got to him, it wasn't that he had never thought about it. The problem he had was how to convince his daughter against it.

He fell asleep trying to figure out how to protect his daughter without hurting her 

.......

Early the next morning Ivy left home for school, she needed to finish with her clearance before the week runs out so she can focus solely on her wedding. When she got to the department she saw Lily who was also there for her clearance. From the look of things it seemed like she was waiting for Ivy there. 

Ivy did not want to bother with her, she walked past Lily as though she was invisible. Lily quickly held her back when she noticed that she was about to walk past her.

"Ivy since you have chosen to forgive Dave can't you forgive me too?"

Ivy turned and pulled her hand out of Lily's grip. She gave her a hard cold stare. 

"Can you even listen to yourself, I wonder where you got the guts to stand before me and ask such a question. I have always felt you are smart in the past but I never expected you to be this foolish. You know your question right now got me wondering if you are really mentally stable. This better be the last time you intentionally appear before me."

Lily glared at Ivy, every word she said was targeted to humiliate her. She could no longer bear it anymore. 

"Look at you always acting like a proud princess, I thought you were the school Bella but you could not even keep your own man how pathetic. Always flaunting your family wealth for everyone to see. How dear you say I am foolish, even if I was foolish I still took you man from you with ease."

Ivy turned to see Lily's gloating expression, every word she said hurt Ivy really badly but there was no way she could let her win this battle. 

"Well well well so this was the reason, but all these things you've listed are not my fault my parents gave them all to me. Be it the beauty, the wealth or..?" Ivy took steps closer to 

Lily said in a low tune " or even the proper home training to know that one should not do things that make them a slut".

Ivy dropped her words, turned around and left with a smirk. Her footsteps seemed lighter, she felt victorious. 

The same thing could not be said for Lily, Ivy's words reminded her that they were not from the same social circle and this further annoyed her. She looked towards Ivy's direction with her eyes filled with so much hatred. Her initial thoughts were to provoke Ivy but she was the one that ended up being provoked.

A few hours later Ivy was done with her clearance, she didn't feel like taking a cab home and she did not drive to school that day. She called Dave to come pick her up, while she waited for him she decided to search for a suitable wedding gown online.

Her attitude towards the wedding showed how nonchalant she was about the whole thing. 

Dave came over later on and rushed towards the department where she was waiting for him to come pick her up. On his way there he pumped into lily. At first he felt awkward but he glanced at her again and he noticed that her mood was not right. He suspected that she must have had a confrontation with Ivy which was unavoidable since they were in the same department. 

On the order hand when lily saw him she wiped off the hatred in her eyes and replaced it with sadness. When she noticed that Dave felt sorry for her she turned around and left without a word to him.

Lily knew how to play her cards well, by taking a step back she was able to retain Dave's attention.

Dave could not explain how he felt towards Lily, he was certain of his love for Ivy. His affection for Lily was not deep but he couldn't bear to see her getting hurt.

Dave hesitated on whether he should go after Lily, after giving it some thought he went ahead to find Ivy.

On the other hand Ivy was already coming out of the department when she happened to see Lily and Dave. She observed all of Dave's expressions, she also noticed his momentary indecisiveness. Ivy smiled and walked back to the department and waited for him to come over.

Ivy did not know what she hoped to gain from accepting Dave back, she did not know if she did it to split Lily and Dave up or because she loved him. That's other than their family business being intertwined.
