When she is home, Ivy spent an hour in the cold shower. After she finished, she walked into the living room and saw that Shawn was still sitting by the balcony, lost in thought, and he refused to return to the room to rest. For some reason, she felt a hint of loneliness in his silhouette. Shawn... must be very lonely, she thought. Although Ivy didn't understand Shawn well, sometimes, when she heard Grandma Winston talk about him, she could sense his sensitivity and loneliness. Grabndma Winston had said that Shawn completed his education alone. At that time, Ivy didn't know why Shawn had grown up in isolation. But it wasn't until she saw his legs on the day of their blind date that she guessed he had attended a school for the disabled. The people there all had varying degrees of physical disabilities, as normal people typically didn't want to be friends with them. Grandma Winston also said that Shawn was very afraid of her leaving because he only had his grandmother as a family. When he was young, every time she took even a small step away from him to buy groceries, he would lock himself in a dark room, refusing to eat or drink. Grandma's eyes would always well up with tears whenever she talked about this, and Ivy could empathize to some extent. Thinking about this, she walked over to him and handed him a glass of water. "Are you feeling down?" "A little," he replied. Ivy sat down beside him and asked, "Is it... about Grandma?" Shawn shook his head and put on a mysterious and inscrutable expression. He admitted that his legs' recovery had been indirectly delayed due to his reflection on how he had pressured doctors in the past, as suggested by Ivy's words. However, he would never admit it so easily. When they got married, Ivy had taken the initiative to apply for their marriage certificate, but Shawn was determined to maintain absolute control and leadership in their future together. "Did my words hurt you?" Ivy asked again. Okay, she admitted that she could be too direct at times. But as a doctor, sometimes being straightforward was the best way to make patients understand their condition and motivate them to cooperate with their treatment. Grandma had mentioned that Shawn was quite sensitive, and perhaps her words had indeed hurt him. "Am I that kind of person?" Shawn's voice contained a hint of playfulness. Beneath the moonlight, his deep, enchanting eyes seemed to have a magical quality, drawing her heart towards him. This man had a talent for exuding charm everywhere he went. Thick eyebrows and deep-set eyes, and Ivy suddenly remembered the intense and passionate scene from that night. She stiffened for a moment, and her ears turned crimson. She quickly turned her face away, but her eyes moved uncontrollably downward and finally fixed on Shawn's firm and powerful Adam's apple. She noticed a slight tremor in his Adam's apple, as if the alluring, husky voice and charm were about to be gradually released through it. Ivy couldn't help but swallow hard. Shawn was her husband, and it was perfectly reasonable and legal to sleep with him. Oh no, Ivy, you must resist! Don't be tempted by his good looks, don't make a mistake! "What are you thinking?" Shawn's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and Ivy's face blazed with heat. She couldn't believe it. Why did it feel like this man was deliberately trying to seduce her? "Why is your face so red, Dr. Jones?" the man lightly chuckled, and there was a hint of teasing in his gaze as he looked at her. Oh no! It was intentional! Ivy looked up, ready to respond, but as she met Shawn's enigmatic gaze, she suddenly lost all her defenses. His eyes seemed to speak, whispering to her, "Dr. Jones, the value of a moment of passion is beyond measure. With a handsome man like me right here, you better seize the opportunity." The more she thought about it, the more she uncontrollably moved closer to Shawn. Closer... A little closer... She tilted her head, her big round eyes gazing up at his chiseled jaw. Finally, her inner devil broke free from its restraints, and she opened her mouth to take a bite. And what met her was the cool, soft connection of lips and teeth. "Ding dong!" The doorbell rang loudly, and Ivy distinctly heard Shawn mutter, with her lips still locked on his, "Damn it!" Ivy suddenly snapped out of her dazed state from moments ago. She stood upright and said, "You... go answer the door. I'll use the restroom." She almost fled into the bathroom, locking the door behind her, then stamped her foot in frustration. How could she become so lustful after getting married? If it hadn't been for that doorbell, she might have actually done something with Shawn. She splashed cold water on her burning cheeks, trying to calm herself down. Outside, Shawn's face turned as dark as charcoal. He was just a step away! No matter who had come tonight, he was determined to give them a good lesson. Meanwhile, outside the door... Having rung the doorbell for a long time, Kevin hesitated about what to do next. His assistant had gone through a lot of effort to find Ivy's address, and he had rushed here as soon as he got it. He thought his visit was somewhat abrupt, but this silence was unnerving. Had he made a mistake? Or was she still at her clinic at this hour? Yes, doctors often worked late hours, and it was only 10 o'clock now. She might still be at the clinic. Just as Kevin was about to leave for Ivy's clinic, the door opened. "Why is it you?" He looked at the furious Shawn in a wheelchair, and then at the door number in astonishment. The founder of DT Investment Group and the eldest son of the Alter Group chairman, why was he appearing in such a third-tier neighborhood? So, this idiot had ruined his plans. "Have you finished looking?" Shawn angrily questioned him. "If you're done, then get lost!" Kevin's temples throbbed relentlessly. He was already irritated, but now, as he saw Shawn, he was overwhelmed by both old and new grievances. He even began to contemplate the idea of taking out a knife. Shawn's assistant had explained that Kevin had organized the class reunion that night, during which he had hinted and openly expressed his intentions to win back Ivy. However, to Shawn's surprise, Kevin's attempts had not been enough, and now he had resorted to coming to her house. Is he blind? Can't he see the wedding ring on Ivy's ring finger? What has this old man, Bob Alter, taught his child? Fine, since he can't see the wedding ring on his wife's ring finger, he would give Ivy a bigger ring! Shawn tried to close the door, ignoring Kevin's reaction. "Wait a moment!" Kevin reached out to block Shawn's actions. He tried to take a look inside, but Shawn, who could read his intentions, stopped him precisely. Kevin pushed the door a few times with all his strength, but he was surprised by Shawn, who, in his eyes, was disabled but had extraordinary strength. No matter how hard he pushed, he couldn't open the door. Kevin had to give up and asked, "Why are you here?" "This is my home. Why can't I be here?" Shawn sneered. "Your home?" Kevin looked at him suspiciously, then chuckled. "It seems that DT Investment is not as invincible as it's said to be. The mighty CEO actually lives in a slum." "What made the wind blow the heir of the Alter Group to a slum?" Shawn sneered. "Did Alter Group go bankrupt? Did you come to the slum to collect recyclables for a living?" "I..." Kevin was momentarily speechless. "Can you stop being so rude in your speech?" Shawn clicked his tongue and retorted, "Can you stop being so effeminate in your speech?" If it weren't for the fact that they shared the same father, Kevin didn't want to acknowledge the presence of this disabled person in front of him. He restrained his anger, changed the topic, and said, "You really upset our father the other day. He's still in the hospital, so take some time to visit and apologize to him." Apologize? ***
