Chapter 16Â
Because of the nap on the plane, Ivy’s jet lag reversed smoothly.Â
Just as it struck eleven, she started to feel sleepy, yawning as she returned to her room and immediately fell asleep.Â
At 2 o’clock in the morning, a sudden phone call woke her up from her dream.Â
She picked up her phone and saw that it was her mother, and she sleepily answered the call.Â
The next second, a familiar and angry voice fell on her ear.Â
“Ivy, who allowed you to go to Cyrenth without saying a word?”Â
It was Rod.Â
Ivy’s mind suddenly became clear.Â
She turned on the desk lamp and sat up, looking at the clock on the table, reminding him.Â
“It is now 2 o’clock in the morning, brother.”Â
Every word deeply struck Rod’s nerves, and he spoke through gritted teeth.Â
“I said, you are not allowed to call me brother!”Â
“But we were siblings on the same household registration, and that was an unchangeable fact.”Â
I heard her state this fact that loomed between the two of them, always unable to be crossed, in such a plain tone.Â
The panic hidden in Rod’s heart reached its peak at this moment.Â
He could no longer control the raging madness within his body, and irrational words blurted out of his mouth.Â
“Did you ever think that we were siblings when you sought pleasure beneath me?”Â
As soon as the words fell, both individuals fell into silence.Â
Rod also realized that he had said the wrong words, his heart sank, but he did not apologize.Â
Because he urgently needed a proof.Â
Proof that Ivy still loved him.Â

There was only along silence on the pioneÂ
Rod doubted several times if the other side had already hung up.Â
His heart beat faster and faster in this boundless silence, dragging his reason down into theÂ
darkness.Â
Just as he was about to completely lose control, Ivy finally answered him.Â
“I have never regretted everything that happened before, because back then I truly loved you, Rod”Â
“But my love was not invincible, impervious to harm. It may be able to withstand external gossip, but it cannot bear the weight of a rotten heart within.”Â
“My mother has never interfered in the relationship between your parents, and she has a clear conscience, as do L. It’s just that there have been too many calculations between you and me. If we continue like this, it will not only hurt both of us. Let’s end this relationship here, brother. Only in this way can it be considered a satisfactory ending for everyone, right?”Â
Satisfactory.Â
From the day Rod found out about his parents‘ divorce at the age of 12, he no longer held any hopeÂ
for this word.Â
He thought it was Ivy’s mother who destroyed his family, so he hated this woman, but could only pretend to be polite.Â
And in their interactions, every time he saw her being kind to Ivy, he would be overwhelmed by feelings of jealousy.Â
In the constant struggle between reality and illusion, he as a person has completely split in half over the course of ten years.Â
He was required to remember the taste of hatred and to utilize Ivy’s emotions to accomplishÂ
revenge.Â
The other half was hypnotizing him to let go of his hatred and integrate into the new family hisÂ
father had formed.Â
Day by day, he became more and more indecisive, even starting to indulge in it, finding it difficultÂ
to extricate himself.Â
The person who set up the situation eventually became a piece on the chessboard, unable to controlÂ

the direction of love.Â
And when it came to the end, Rod did not get everything he wanted.Â
The person who was once trapped in a dilemma came out and became an observer, and told him.Â
His first step was wrong.Â
Rod couldn’t accept this fact.Â
Just like he couldn’t accept the fact that Ivy had moved on from him.Â
He stubbornly refused to let go and insisted on getting an answer.Â
He asked Ivy a question.Â
“You came back, came back, let’s have a good talk, okay?”Â
