Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 139

Finnley signed after hearing something said from the other side of the phone. "OK, I'll cancel them for you. But are you sure you won't be coming back to the office in the next ten days?"

"Yes."

The sudden change of schedule gave Finnley such a headache.

Some while later, Catherine heard him saying, "Then I'll give you a report on the latest update every night."

She was wondering why Ivan would be absent for ten days and what had happened to him.

When the phone call was ended, she walked in. "Mr. Russell, what happened to Mr. Marsh?"

Finnley turned around to her and said, "Ms. Collins," and added as he continued to organize his files on the desk, "He won't be here in the following ten days."

"Is he sick?" The woman's heart was hanging. "Where is he?"

Finnley paused and said, "Mr. Marsh will be living in Kelsington Bay during his absence from the office and he'll be working there too."

Kelsington Bay?

Had something gone wrong with Aubree?

Catherine was beginning to feel worried, but she didn't ask further, thinking that Finnley wouldn't know either.

She handed a file to him. "The reputation of our expectant partner DaKings is not very good. Why is Mr. Marsh playing fast and loose with the project? Is he indebted to them in any way?

Finnley answered, "You might wanna give more confidence in Mr. Marsh's vision, Ms. Collins."

But Catherine laughed a little, because based on his unfortunate choice of life partner, his vision was not that trustworthy.

She said no more and left.

When she returned to her own office, she tried to figure out what was going on in Kelsington Bay.

Ivan had fallen out with Aubree because of her, then why would he stay there for ten days?

Besides, Ivan had often looked abstracted lately... Was it because Aubree's conditions had worsened?

Or had he gotten in a fight with Jennifer and didn't want to see her?

An hour later in Kelsington Bay.

A car was pulled over. It was Finnley who brought a laptop and other things needed for work to Ivan.

Upstairs at the drug lab, Rowan and Darcie were struck as they saw people moving an office desk and chair in!

"What are you doing…"

Before she finished, Ivan came along. He gave a cough with his hands stuck in his pockets, and gave a rub around the corner of his mouth, saying to the two doctors, "I'll be watching you two as you work, day and night."

Darcie gave him an indifferent glance before she turned back to her research, thinking how unbelievable he was.

Meanwhile, Rowan was thinking, "Why would he do that? Haven't they got married already? So he hasn't won her heart?"

Why was Ivan acting like he was courting her?

Jennifer was wondering if Ivan fell in love with her.

He was obviously not happy with her being around Rowan. The small face under the black mask flashed a faint smile as she thought of that.

Jennifer was all the more driven to cure his mother.

Because she loved him too.

Not long after Finnley had left, another car stopped at the yard.

The door of the driver seat was opened, and Catherine appeared in heels with a file on her hand. In the sun, she shut the door, walked to the trunk and took out some well-selected gifts.

She marched towards the house.

"Madam, Ms. Collins's here," someone said in the living room.

The sight of Catherine lit up Aubree's face.

The visitor looked tall and elegant in a white suit.

"Aubree." Catherine sped up her pace with a smile on her face.

"Hi, Catherine!" Aubree came towards her too. "I thought I've told you. You don't have to bring us anything when you come to this family."
