Chapter 202

• Before Ivy could say anything, she noticed Avery Lamour dash upstairs, Duke’s suit jacket draped over her.
• Avery’s scurrying away was truly pitiful, but no one noticed.
• Ivy had a calm expression on her face as she looked at Wyatt. His eyes were as dark as ink. She felt a dull pain in her chest and took a deep breath. “Wyatt Reed, I don’t want to torture you,” she said quietly after the pain subsided. “I want you to be relieved as soon as possible.” Her tone was light, calm, and solemn. “It’s not that I haven’t considered our relationship during this period. Mr. Reed, thank you for your efforts on my behalf, but... I apologize. I just can’t imagine ever being with you again.”
