Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 138

Without further ado, Ivan turned around and left.

Inside the spacious lab, the mentor and student in protective suits were left speechless, wondering what he was up to.

Rowan looked at her, whispering, "He does love you."

Darcie shook her head. "I don't see that." She got back to her work, murmuring, "I think he's going to be a trouble to our work. What is he staying here for?"

"That's a bit of an exaggeration with the word ‘trouble'. After all, he knows how his mother sees you and he hoped his mother to get well too."

Rowan thought, "Perhaps he's staying here to protect you?"

The woman had stopping thinking about that and was concentrating on her research.

Downstairs sitting on the sofa, Aubree rose to her feet in surprise as she heard the news from Pippa. "Really? Are you sure? He actually said that?"

"Definitely." Pippa beamed with delight. "I wasn't the only who heard him say that. Dr. Darcie and Dr. Rowan heard that too."

"..." Aubree stood stunned. Why would his son suddenly offer to stay?

"Madam." Pippa came forward to hold her arm. "Mr. Marsh cares about you! He got two doctors here to treat you and he himself comes to check on you every night. That shows how much he loves you!"

Aubree indeed felt touched.

Ever since she had tried to set his son up with Catherine, the relationship with her son had been odd, so until then she had never thought he'd be willing to stay.

"Then what are you doing here? Go make a room for him!" Aubree was in a great mood. "Ask him which room he wants. He can use any room he wants. And tell the butler if he needs anything. Ten days are not short after all. Make sure he has a good time here."

"Yes, Madam."

Upstairs, in front of a door with a sign saying "Darcie", there stood Ivan, staring at it.

Next to it was Rowan's bedroom.

So he pointed his finger to Rowan's room and said to Pippa nonchalantly, "I want this one."

Pippa reminded him, "Mr. Marsh, this is Dr. Watson's room. Maybe you could take the one next to his."

"I said I want his room." Ivan remained indifferent. "You don't understand what I mean?" He looked too forbidding for her to defy.

"Oh, sure, yes, sir." She was confused, but did as she was told. "I will make it ready for you."

After a while, the butler entered the lab after knocking.

He came to Rowan and said apologetically, "Dr. Watson, Mr. Marsh wants your room, so I have to move your belongings to another one. I'm so sorry, I'll make sure they will be arranged as they were in your previous room."

Rowan was fine with it. He was shocked for only a second before saying, "OK, no problem. He can do as he pleases. It's his home after all."

"Then we're moving now," The butler said with a smile.

Darcie found it so childish! Why was Ivan acting like a baby?

Downstairs.

Aubree said to Pippa, "As long as Jennifer is not here, it will be a perfect ten-day. I haven't gotten along with him for so long. We can bond with each other better."

Upstairs, the servants were preparing the room for Ivan.

Alfie and Diana had been peeking through their slightly opened door and witnessed what had happened outside.

"Daddy is such a baby."

"He is jealous."

When the door was quietly closed, Alfie said to Diana, "It means that daddy loves mommy."

"When will mommy love daddy?"

"Every woman loves daddy! I think mommy fell in love with him long time ago. Anyway, they are perfect for each other and will be happy ever after."

"Mommy is a famous pharmacist, a perfect match with daddy! And grandma will grow to like mommy when she gets cured."

Meanwhile, at the skyscraper of the Marsh Group.

In the CEO office, Finnley was astonished by what he had heard from the phone.

"Are you sure, Mr. Marsh? You are going to work from home at Kelsington Bay in the following ten days?" Finnley soon checked the schedule. "But you've got important meetings to attend in person in the next couple of days."

"Cancel them."

"..." Finnley's heart skipped a beat as he wondered what was going on with his boss.

Outside the office, Catherine with some files in her hands stopped in shock as she overheard what Finnley had said.
