Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 122

In the dim light, Jennifer stared at Ivan's handsome face and thought that she hadn't woken him up.

Suddenly, she felt sorry for him, the man standing at a height.

As long as one was alive, no matter how much power or wealth he had, he would always suffer from his past trauma.

Jennifer lay beside him, holding the half of the jade pendant in her hand. She couldn't help thinking of some people she had met before. Their faces came to her mind.

The next morning.

Jennifer got up early in the morning and had been busy in the kitchen.  

The servants wanted to help, but didn't know how.

"Mommy!" In overalls, Alfie came to the kitchen and stared at her, "Are you making sandwich for daddy?"

"I'm making congee, not sandwich here," Jennifer took a look at him and answered, "Daddy's got a share."

He didn't believe it! Mommy made it specially for daddy. Alfie thought to himself.

Then, he said purposely, "Mommy, I heard that a lady working in daddy's company made him congee, but he didn't eat it."

A lady? Did Alfie mean Catherine?

"It's none of my business," Jennifer blinked, "I'm making congee because I want to eat it. I just made some more because it's not much trouble anyway."

Alfie was confused. Mommy was making breakfast for daddy, but why didn't she admit it?

"Fine. You can say whatever you want! Anyway, daddy has got a share." Alfie was determined to work harder to bring them together.

After Alfie left, Jennifer stood there and jealousy bubbled up in his heart. But she managed to suppress it.

Perhaps she was nothing different from those women who were unable to resist Ivan's charm.

But she couldn't show it, for she didn't know how Ivan felt about her.

She would not degrade herself to becoming a joke.  

"Mommy, do you have to wait there yourself? You could have used the electric casserole," Diana came over and asked, "You have been really nice to daddy recently."

Jennifer turned off the stove. The congee was ready. "Stop making fun of me. Do you want your congee or not?"

"Making fun of you how?"

A man's pleasant voice came from behind Jennifer.

Jennifer turned around and saw Ivan standing behind Diana with his hands on her shoulders.

"Daddy, let me tell you a secret!" Diana grabbed Ivan's hand and the two of them left.  

Jennifer blushed and she tried to calm down.

They had a nice breakfast.

In the bright and simply-decorated restaurant, there were cheery pie, sandwiches, milk and omelets prepared by Marry on the dining table, all of which were the kids' favorites. 

Jennifer handed a bowl of congee to Ivan and poured herself some.

Alfie said to Ivan, "Mommy made the congee for you, daddy. You have to drink it up!"

Ivan took a gentle look at Jennifer, who was sitting opposite him and said, "Thank you." Then he picked up the spoon. 

Jennifer looked calm and didn't have any thoughts on her mind.

After breakfast.

The driver was about to send the kids to school.

Jennifer and Ivan carried the kids into the car and waved them goodbye.

"Aren't you going to work?" Jennifer asked as she saw Ivan walking towards the living room.

"It's still early," Ivan said without looking back.

Jennifer followed him.  

Ivan asked, "Are you going to make the treatment plan?"  

"Of course. But I might need some help from Rowan and see if it will work."

"You can come to me if you need something."

"Of course, I know."

In the living room, the news was on.

"Ever since the popular novel 'Love in Violet Gold Bay' was announced to be adapted to a TV series, many audiences are keen to know the progress of this franchise. Now, the casting has just finished! The leading actress will be the A-lister Georgia Clarke.

"The leading actor will be Spencer Lawrence, a newbie of showbiz. The director chose him for his charming appearance and the wonderful performance during his audition. He has the similar character of that of the hero in the book. The TV series will start shooting next Monday. Let's look forward to it!"  

In the TV, there showed a poster of Georgia and Spencer. Georgia was gentle and pretty while Spencer was cool and handsome.

They looked like a perfect match.

The female reporter was also saying how popular Spencer had been on the Internet recently for his outstanding good look and his somewhat gang-ly vibe. 

His name had been on Trend. Although he was a newcomer in the entertainment business, he was going to play a leading role in a TV series directed by a well-known director, which had attracted everyone's interest in learning more about him.
