Ivy gasped and rushed to her feet. Damn! She nearly forgot! Sebastian, the devil is returning today!
“But, wait a minute, did you just call me Mama?”
Simba sat on top of her, licking her palm with its tiny tongue. “Whoever names me is my mama, according to Shaira Winter!”
“Are you sure? Can’t you just call me Ivy?”
Simba’s stripes on the top of its head were twisted.
“Who is Ivy, Mama?” Simba couldn’t distinguish between the numerous names.
“Ignore it,” Ivy shook her head, “Mama will do.”
Ivy agreed because Simba said it in such an adorable way.
“How did you find out that I had to go to the airport?”
“I have a great memory!” Simba exclaimed proudly.
Ivy burst out laughing. “All well, then, you can stay at home by yourself. First, I need to pick up someone.”
She jumped out of bed, washed, and chose a simple long black dress with diamonds at the edge of the sleeves and collar. It was a very smart-casual outfit.
Ivy drove her Cayenne to the airport without trouble.
There were a lot of people at the airport, particularly young girls gathering at the arrivals area. Did they know that the devil would go home?
And she was correct when she heard the screams of a bunch of girls. “Seby! Seby!”
She accidentally saw it and almost burst out laughing. She quickly snapped a photo and posted it to the family group chat.
Ivy: This is the first time I’ve ever questioned Sebastian’s stage name!
Cooper: Lol
Ryan: The substance of the poster appears to be a laminate board constructed of *insert science jargon that no one else understands*.
Sebastian: You have no right to laugh at me! I’m going to tell Dad to beat you up!
Daddy Leo: I didn’t see it… *smirk emoji*
Ivy was looking straight at her phone, wide-eyed when she heard someone in the crowd yell, “Wyatt!”
She shifted her gaze automatically in the direction of the voice. Ivy’s smile quickly stiffened as a familiar face emerged from the exit.
Alice Perez?
What a coincidence! She smirked.
Wyatt Reed arrived with his helper Michael to pick up Alice. Alice’s eyes became bright red as she saw Wyatt. She couldn’t help but rush up to him and hug him.
Ivy’s eyes were drawn to the pair’s intertwined figures. Ivy thought she was over it, but her heart couldn’t stop throbbing with pain. Her chest felt tight and dense, and time just seemed to stand still at that moment.
Before Ivy could withdraw, an arm from behind wrapped over her shoulders and pulled her into a close hug. Ivy suddenly returned to her usual self as she scented this familiar perfume. She pouted as she drew the huge hand that had been covering her eyes.
“Sebastian, how old are you that you still enjoy scaring people?”
Sebastian’s dashing and exquisite features were there in front of her. His looks were flawless, like a finely carved sculpture with no flaws. A panty-dropping feature that a woman would die for.
“How could you make me wait for so long?” he asked, wearing sunglasses and raising his eyebrows.
“OMG! It’s Sebastian! He’s here!!” Someone in the vicinity recognized him.
The fangirls rushed up to them, surrounding them.
Ivy was taken aback and asked him quietly, “Where’s your bodyguard?”
“I sent him on vacation,” Sebastian explained gently.
“So, what do we do now?” she asked.
“Of course, you have to protect your brother.” Sebastian was completely concerned with his safety. And he trusts his sister with it.
Ivy was surprised. The gathering was growing by the second. When everyone spotted Sebastian, the airport was filled with fangirl yells.
While countless people raised their phones and cameras and shouted Sebastian’ name, Sebastian held Ivy securely in his arms to keep her from being pushed away by the crowd.
Damn, I should have known this from the start, Ivy pondered.
She bowed her head and hid her face, not wanting to be in the picture, but there was nothing she could do. Some audience members who used the internet and read the gossip section recognized Ivy.
“Isn’t Ivy the woman in Sebastian’s arms? The one who had recently divorced Wyatt Reed?”
“It’s her!”
“Yeah, it’s Ivy! I’m sure of it!”
“What brings them together?”
“Do they have a relationship?”
This information spread quickly!
The alarming news about a prominent movie star enraged the audience.
Ivy just wanted to find a hole to burrow into or turn back and flee. When she looked back, though, she saw innumerable flashing lights and a strong wall of people, so she abandoned that concept.
“How should we escape?” Ivy clenched her teeth.
Sebastian smiled warmly and did not shy away from his admirers. Instead, he grabbed Ivy even harder and moved steadily towards the exit.
Little by step, the supporters in front of him retreated as well.
“I appreciate everyone’s help, but please don’t terrify my girl,” Sebastian asserted.
“Whoa…! Yah…! Everyone began to yell.
Ivy didn’t have much choice. She couldn’t walk with her head tucked in Sebastian’s chest, so she straightened her back and smiled awkwardly.
The woman, who had Ivy’s arm over her shoulders at the time, had no idea that she would be on the top pages of the newspapers the next day.
Ivy cast a casual glance around and noticed Wyatt Reed staring coldly in their direction. He was also standing nearby with Alice Perez.
She hesitated, and her smile softened. She was, on the other hand, calm and serene.
She’s curious about what it’s like to have a new lover and an ex-wife appear at the same time. They’re the actual slime, despite their indignant and pompous demeanor. She’s far superior to them and has nothing to be ashamed of! Ivy thought.
When Ivy and Sebastian exited the airport, the fans wanted to follow them, but Sebastian abruptly turned around and made a hush sign. “Everyone…! Go back! I, too, require some rest!”
Everyone paid attention to Sebastian. Despite the noise levels remaining high, no one pursued him again.
