The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 154

Ivy was both surprised and delighted to see this. This happened to be her favorite dessert shop! “Thank you, Pierce. Stay safe!” Pierce motioned with his hands. “Goodbye, Pretty Lady!” Trigg dashed over, waggling its tiny tail. “Goodbye, Pierce!” Inside the car, Pierce cocked his head proudly. “Doesn’t Pretty Lady have a lovely face?” The nanny couldn’t help but smile. “Yeah, she’s beautiful! She’s prettier than any woman who wants to be close to your daddy!” Pierce quietly nodded his little head and blinked his sapphire eyes. The bearded bodyguard sat sternly in front of him. “I assumed I was supposed to go. I never even got to meet her.” The nanny gave him a sidelong glance. “If you go, you’ll scare the pretty lady!” Pierce approved with a nod. “Exactly!” The ferocious-looking bodyguard shrank in his seat even more indignantly. For a brief moment, Pierce frowned in thought. His delicate and adorable face bore a rare expression of bafflement. “We can’t keep sending the same gifts to her, so we’ll have to think about what to get her the next time!” “I thought of those gifts,” the bearded bodyguard muttered as he looked down and flipped the “Love for Fools” page that he had just purchased. Back at the hotel. Marco picked up Pierce as he lazily attempted to climb into bed. “I heard you didn’t turn in your English homework to your teacher?” Marco’s voice had a distinct coldness to it. Pierce muttered angrily and pouted. He buried his head between his father’s thighs and hugged his father’s legs. “I’m too busy chasing after my pretty lady, Daddy!” “How are you going after her?”

“I bought her presents!” Under Marco’s watchful eye, Pierce proudly told his father about all the gifts he had purchased for Ivy. When Marco heard about the white chrysanthemums and the chunky gold bracelet, he smiled and chuckled as if he was restricting some emotion. His earlier rage had dissipated entirely. “Then best of luck!” Marco twirled Pierce’s hair in adoration. If Ivy didn’t drive Pierce away, after all, those “gifts,” she was a very kind woman! “Daddy, can I invite my pretty lady to your dinner?” Pierce asked as Marco was about to leave the room. ‘Dinner?’ Marco smirked. He then realized that Pierce was most likely referring to the business dinner he was planning to host. He had only five people on his invitation list, so it was very private. “If you want to,” Marco said matter-of-factly. He would not have allowed it if it had been someone else, but she was the woman from three years ago. That was a completely different story. This time, Marco’s project was gaining international attention. After all, it required a significant amount of workforce and resources. This also needed a lot of connections to be a success. As a result, his every move was shrouded in secrecy. Even his whereabouts remained a closely guarded secret. However, there were several capable people in the city who held significant market positions, such as Wyatt Reed. As a result, Wyatt Reed was just one of many possible partners. Morgan Corporation’s capabilities were comparable to Reed Corporation’s, but Marco ignored them because his butler had mentioned Morgan Corporation too many times. Marco despised it when those around him infringed on their authority and tried to run the company. He didn’t care that his butler had been with him for over a decade if he crossed a line again. Marco Seely ignored all Morgan Corporation appointment invitations for several days in a row. Ivy was irritated and refused Wyatt’s invitation to attend Marco’s business dinner as his female companion. On the other hand, Wyatt kept asking her, saying that he was willing to compete fairly with Morgan

Corporation. ‘Bullshit! How could I compete if I couldn’t even get an invitation?’ When Ivy emerged from the office lobby, she noticed Pierce striking a cool pose against the side of the van. His delicate little face drew a lot of admiration. His sapphire eyes glowed with life. He was simply adorable. ‘This little charmer will undoubtedly be a heartbreaker when he grows up,’ Ivy predicted. When Pierce saw Ivy, he ran over and hugged her legs, then rubbed his head against the side of her thigh. His voice was soft and endearing. “I miss you so much, Pretty Lady.” Ivy laughed incoherently. Her heart softened. The sudden appearance of this little boy did not irritate her in the least. Instead, she was overcome with an inexplicable affection for him. “I miss you, Pierce.” Ivy knelt to speak with him and couldn’t help but lightly rub his curly hair. It was so soft! Pierce carried a large box with no label and handed it to her. “Would you like to come to a party with me today, Pretty Lady?” Ivy was perplexed as she looked at him in awe. “Which party?” “It’s just a casual dinner. Dad said I could invite you.” “Is your father also present?” Even though they didn’t say much the last time they met, Ivy had a feeling Pierce’s father was not to be dealt with. Pierce nodded and looked at her impatiently with his big round eyes. “There are others as well! I want to introduce you to all my friends!” he said with a smile. ‘I want everyone to know that Pretty Lady belongs to me!’ Ivy paused for a moment. She figured there was no harm in going because she had nowhere else to go. She also assumed it was a children’s party. Not to mention that Pierce was so gracious to invite her. “All right, I’ll go back and change.” Pierce enthusiastically pointed to the box in his hand.

“I chose a dress for you! When you wear it, you’ll look like a lovely fairy! You’re more beautiful than a fairy!” He had spent a long time selecting an evening gown after carefully considering the advice of his nanny and bodyguard. Ivy was taken aback for a moment. She was awestruck by the lovely light-colored gown when she opened the box. The gown’s garment had delicate stitches that seemed to reflect the light on closer inspection. The reflection of the light created a different visual effect from a slightly different angle. Even though Ivy couldn’t see the brand name, she could tell at a glance that this luxury custom- made gown was the work of a skilled designer. Ivy was taken aback and gazed admiringly at Pierce. “It’s absolutely stunning!” With delight, Pierce proudly raised his chin. His smug expression was too endearing. “Of course! I knew you’d like it!” Ivy tousled Pierce’s hair. The little gentleman struggled to open the car door for her and even bowed slightly as if he were a prince. “Come on in, my princess.” Ivy laughed and entered the luxury van. She got a new name again. The van’s interior was lavishly decorated, and it was surrounded by some expensive limited-edition toys. This van was clearly intended for children. ‘Wow, Pierce is living the good life!’ The driver couldn’t see anything because a privacy screen separated him. The car drove for about twenty minutes before coming to a stop in front of the Hilton Hotel. The surroundings were tranquil. There appeared to be a road closure because no cars were coming or going. The bodyguard at the entrance approached and was about to stop them, but when he saw Pierce standing next to Ivy, he immediately became courteous again. ‘Wow, why are they being so strict for a children’s party?’ Ivy thought. Pierce cheerfully took Ivy’s hand in his and entered.

Ivy found a room where she could change into the gown that Pierce had made for her. The long gown fit her slender figure perfectly and emphasized her body in all the right places. She appeared to be both elegant and noble. It was simply stunning! Pierce’s eyes were filled with little hearts. He couldn’t take his gaze away from her. He cupped his cheeks with both hands and stared at Ivy with his big, gleaming eyes. “You’re stunning! I love you!” Ivy couldn’t stop laughing. She assumed he was just another little fanboy who was madly in love with her. “Well, I think you’re adorable!”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
