Chapter 18 The apartment was located near Soltharion University , with a prime location and a tranquil environment . Ivy was very satisfied . Bruce accompanied her to the room and carefully made a note of what needed to be added . Then he took her for a walk around the area , telling her about the nearby supermarket , restaurants , parking spaces , and even the small paths one by one . Ivy made an effort to remember and expressed her sincere gratitude to him . Bruce didnt really mind , and seeing that it was almost time for lunch , he proactively asked her what she wanted to eat for lunch . She didnt have a good understanding of the local taste and wasnt good at making decisions , so she just said she would listen to his recommendation . Bruce didnt hesitate either , he chose a restaurant and took her there . After spending more than a day together , Ivy unexpectedly found him to be a very nice person . Compared to his parents , Bruce didnt speak much . But he is not aloof , he just rarely expresses his opinions unless asked . Although he was rather quiet , he was very reliable when it came to getting things done , even leaving Ivy with an impression that he was capable of anything . Therefore , unconsciously , she developed some natural feelings of closeness and trust towards him . Just after placing the order , Doreens phone rang , asking them when they would be back . Bruce glanced at her and asked for her opinion . Ivy made a hand gesture in the shape of a four , and he replied accordingly . My mom said she has prepared a welcome banquet for you tonight and wants us to come over after we finish our work . Welcome banquet ? So grand . Ivy was somewhat taken aback , but everything had been arranged . She went along with the local customs and did not express any opinions . After finishing lunch , the two people went to the school and took a look around , and then they planned to go straight there . As soon as Ivy walked out of the school gate , she looked up and saw Rod . The smile that hung on her lips froze on her mouth . Bruce noticed her change in mood and , following her gaze , saw a man rushing towards her in quick strides . He instinctively stood in the middle , shielding her behind him . Watching his actions , Rod , who had just gotten off the plane , became so angry that his face turned black , and he raised his fist ready to punch someone . But as soon as his hand was raised , Bruce tightly grabbed it and he couldnt move at all . Bruce glanced at him and then turned to look at Ivy . Do you know him ? Ivy didnt expect him to catch up so quickly , let alone to meet him here . Bruce asked , and she still answered . My brother . Her boyfriend ! E Bruces face , which had always remained unchanged , also revealed a subtle expression at that moment . But in the end , he chose to believe Ivy , letting go of her hand and taking a few steps back , creating a safe distance . Rod glanced at him deeply , his tone filled with resentment . Who was he again ? Ivy knew that he had a strong possessiveness , and there was a sense of helplessness in his tone . Rod couldnt believe it , despite the concise and straightforward words . But he also knew that it was not the time to dwell on this , so he turned around and grabbed Ivys hand , wanting to take her away . You followed me . Ivy had no intention of leaving , she broke free from his control and took a few steps towards Bruce . I had something to do , I was busy . One sentence ignited the suppressed anger in Rods heart . He looked over with disbelief in his eyes , his eyebrows furrowed tightly . Is this the attitude you spoke to me with ? Ivy knew that he was angry . But she didnt care anymore , she said lightly . I didnt think there was anything wrong with my attitude , I was just stating the facts . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
