Chapter 17 Someone’s Upset
The next morning, Ivan went to the company very early.
When Jennifer woke up, she only felt that her body seemed to have been run over by wheels. She didn’t dare to think about what happened last night.
As soon as she went downstairs, she met Jordan. He seemed to have something to say to her.
“Mrs. Marsh, there is something… I wonder if Mr. Marsh has told you.” Jordan said with a serious look. “But… I think you still have the right to know since you have become his wife.”
“What’s the matter?”
“He has suffered from stomach illness for a long time. He has been relying on nutrition injection to maintain his life for several years.”
She was shocked.
Jordan said, “He will feel sick when he eats any food, except for liquid.”
“Didn’t he finish the noodles yesterday?” She remembered clearly that he took away the bowl.
Jordan looked at her with a relieved smile. “So, you are his savior. This is the first time that he has eaten something in recent years, but there is no nausea.”
She was so astonished that she couldn’t believe it.
“But you can’t always cook yourself. There are chefs here,” Jordan said. “Therefore, I want to learn your cooking skills, so that I can cook for Mr. Marsh myself in the future.”
“I’m not good at cooking,” she said honestly. “I don’t know any cooking skills, to be honest.”
“Are you going to cook noodles today? I’ll learn it.”
Then Jennifer had to let Jordan enter the kitchen.
Towering up towards the sky, the Marsh Group was the most representative landmark in Arkpool City with majestic momentum.
The staff who just arrived at the company saw today’s front page of the news and began to discuss incredulously.
“What? Mr. Marsh is married? He even has a child?”
“How is that possible?”
“Who is this woman? How lucky she is! She has been kept in Mr. Marsh’s love nest for seven years.”
“I have always thought that Mr. Marsh doesn’t have emotions. It seems that he just doesn’t have any feelings for us.”
“This woman looks so young.”
“You can’t tell how old women nowadays they are, okay?”
“My heart is broken. Although it is impossible that I can be with Mr. Marsh, I still can’t accept that he suddenly has a woman by his side.”
In the CEO’s office upstairs, Finnley felt a little ashamed. How decisive his boss was! It was still unbelievable that Ivan had announced his marriage.
A red Bentley was driving to the Marsh group.
The woman in the driver’s seat was well-dressed and exquisite, especially the pair of long tassels earrings, making her look capable and cold.
In the morning, when Catherine got up and saw the news, she was so angry that she couldn’t eat anything. There was a touch of sharpness in her cold and beautiful eyes.
Her phone rang. She put on a Bluetooth headset.
“Miss Collins, I only found that Jennifer Brooks are helping the poor in Sunshine Village and she’s close to the villagers. And the two children, brought up by her, are indeed her children, but it’s hard to say whether Mr. Marsh is their father. The villagers said that they had never seen the father come visit Jennifer and her kids in the past six years.” Someone reported on the other end of the phone.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I see.”
Catherine didn’t believe the news. How could it be possible for Ivan to keep his marriage a secret for seven years? And how could it be possible for him not to see the children for six years?
She thought that Ivan put up such a ridiculous show in order not to marry her.
She had only left Arkpool City for two years and managed the branch company in America for him. Two years ago, she was in Arkpool City.
Therefore, she thought that she knew clearly about the emotional state of Ivan.
The Bentley stopped at the gate of the Marsh group. Serious in speech and manner, she was tall, walking with the wind.
“Miss Collins?” People who saw her was full of surprise. “Good morning, Miss Collins.”
“Good morning, Miss Collins.”
“Did Miss Collins come back overnight when she saw the news?” Everyone had the same thought.
The respectful calling made her slow down. She turned her eyes and asked, “Is Mr. Marsh here?”
“Yes.”
She quickened her pace and walked towards the elevator without looking back. She heard people whispering behind her.
“Mr. Marsh’s sudden announcement of marriage must have hurt Miss Collins’s heart, right?”
“I have always thought that Miss Collins and Mr. Marsh are a couple. Now it’s all in vain.”
When Catherine pressed the open button of the elevator, a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes. She was really upset.
She took the elevator upstairs to leave those noises behind.
In the corridor, she walked quickly towards the CEO’s office.
Through the clean glass wall, she saw the man in a suit in front of the desk at a glance.
When she saw him, she suddenly felt a little soft-hearted, a little missing, with expectation. All kinds of complicated emotions intertwined.
“Haven’t seen you for a long time.” She walked into the room and said with a smile. “I have something fantastic to share with you this time.”
