Chapter 22 I woke up and the house was very quiet . Bruce was also not there . He left her a note , saying that he had something to attend to and had to go out for a while . Ivy didnt care either , she went back to her bedroom after breakfast and turned on the computer to prepare for studying . Just as I finished reading a chapter , the phone that was placed on the desk started ringing . She picked up and saw it was an unfamiliar international number . After hesitating for a few seconds , she still answered the call . I called out a few times, but there was no response from the other side . She was about to hang up when she heard Rods deep voice on the other end . Ivy , I was downstairs at the place where you currently live . Come out and celebrate my birthday with me . Ivy didnt know why he had found his way here . Judging from her understanding of him , she knew that as long as they went out today , he would definitely try every means to take her away . She did not want to see this kind of thing happen , so she refused . You went to celebrate your birthday with your mom . She hadnt seen you for so long , she must have missed you a lot . I didnt go down , I wish you a happy birthday . After she said these words , there was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time . The only thing left was the increasingly heavy sound of panting . Ivy knew that this was a sign of his anger . She didnt want to argue with him today , so she hung up and turned off her phone L She stayed in her room all day , focusing diligently on her studies . The next morning , she finally opened her phone . After seeing over a hundred missed calls , she remained silent for a while and cleared the records . For the next half month , Ivy hardly went out . She only joined in when the Woods family had occasional gatherings . Most of the time , she studied at home and chatted with Bruce . Days passed by , and soon it was September , the season of starting school . Three days before the start of school , Ivy and Doreen discussed and decided to move to the apartment in advance . Doreen had been trying to persuade , but seeing her firm attitude , I had no choice but to agree . The next day , the family of three carried double the amount of luggage and sent her to the new home . When parting , Bruce did not get in the car . Looking at the person standing beside her , Ivys eyes flashed with a hint of surprise . Dont you go back with your parents ? I wont go back , Im about to start school soon , so technically youre still my senior . Until now , Ivy only found out that Bruce was also from Soltharion University . No wonder he was so familiar with this area . She looked at the luggage piled on the ground and was surprised to find that it was only hers . Did you go to school without bringing any luggage ? The apartment you chose happened to be right across from me . That was quite a coincidence ! Ivy couldnt help but sigh a few words , and then she thought about being able to be neighbors with him , a bright smile appeared on her face . Well , it seems like I will have to continue bothering you later . Bruce picked up the box , his tone filled with cheerfulness . Youre welcome . Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
