Chapter : 1143
The earlier sense of ease turned heavy again. Ivy remembered that she still had to face Nathan, and she couldn’t predict what he would do.
He would definitely be angry. Furious, even.
Still, the child she was carrying was Keith’s precious great–grandson. With Keith backing her up, there was no real need to be so
nervous.
Thinking it through like that, Ivy felt lighter again.
“Mr. Lowe left early this morning. Do you want to call him and share the good news?” Wanda asked.
Ivy shook her head. “Don’t tell him about the pregnancy yet. I’ll find the right moment and tell him myself.”
Wanda replied, “Alright.”
“I’ll head to work after breakfast.”
“I know you still want to work even though you’re pregnant, but you should cut back a bit. From now on, everything comes second to the baby.”
Ivy placed her hand over her lower abdomen. “Don’t worry. I’m the baby’s mother. No one is looking forward to his arrival more
than I am.”
Nathan had been busy at the office all day. He had cleared his entire schedule yesterday to take Ivy out, so a pile of work had built up waiting for him.
By the time he finished, it was already afternoon.
Baxter placed a cup of coffee beside him. “Mr. Lowe, your coffee.”
“Thanks.”
Nathan took a sip, then picked up his phone.
His screen was empty. Ivy hadn’t sent him a single message.
Yesterday, she had been blowing up his phone, even bringing homemade soup to the office to see him. Today, she had completely disappeared.
Nathan smiled helplessly. Sometimes, he really had no idea what my was thinking.
“Mr. Lowe, why are you smiling? Did something good happen?” Baxter asked curiously.
Nathan said, “Do you think women are all like this?”
“Like what?”
“Suddenly warm, then suddenly distant. Like a total mystery.”
Baxter didn’t answer. He just smiled.
Nathan looked at him. “What are you smiling about now?”
“Did Mrs. Lowe not contact you today?”
Nathan paused. “How did you know?”
“I’ve noticed that whenever Mrs. Lowe ignores you, your face practically has a big question mark written on it. Have you realized
that you seem more and more interested in Mrs. Lowe, and that your moods always follow hers?”

Nathan stopped for a moment, his expression unchanged. “Do they?”
“Of course they do. When Mrs. Lowe is affectionate, you’re in a good mood. When she’s distant, you’re in a bad one. Honestly, even though you’ve been married for years, it feels like you and Mrs. Lowe are dating now.”
Dating.
The word felt new to Nathan. An arranged marriage was still a marriage. When he married Ivy, he had never planned on getting divorced. 1
At first, he thought it would just be mutual respect and keeping up appearances for the family. He hadn’t expected them to become so entangled.
He actually liked how things were going between him and Ivy.
If he really did date Ivy like this, it didn’t sound bad at all.
After all, they were legally married.
Nathan set his coffee down, picked up his phone, and called Ivy.
The pleasant ringtone rang several times before the call was answered in a hurry.
Ivy’s lovely voice came through. “Hello. How do you suddenly have time to call me?”
Nathan could tell she was busy. He could hear her flipping through documents. “What, am I not allowed to call you?”
