When she woke up again, it was early in the morning of the second day. Her stomach was growling with hunger, and the aroma of food wafted in from outside. Ivy got out of bed and walked to the living room, where she saw Shawn sitting in his wheelchair, busy among various pots and pans in the kitchen. Mr. Luke was standing nearby, looking anxious, and he reached out a few times to offer help, but Shawn glared at him, making him immediately withdraw his hand. "Mr. Luke, come and sit down," Ivy said. She felt that Shawn was being somewhat ungrateful for treating someone who had always helped him like this. "No, no, I can help watch." The personal assistant smiled and replied, "Mr. Tate said he would make porridge for you, and I'm just here to assist." Shawn turned his head back around. "You should rest on the sofa; you'll be better soon." Sweat glistened on his forehead, dripping down to the tip of his nose, shining brightly. He was wearing an apron with Peppa Pig, which his mother had bought at a children's supermarket, and it looked rather out of place. Seeing that she couldn't convince the personal assistant, Ivy had to give up. She idly turned on the TV and saw that the news about the Alter Group was rolling. She quickly understood the follow-up plan for handling the situation. After the video incident involving Kevin and Tanya, H Capital had terminated its negotiations with the Alter Group. Kevin had also issued a statement, saying that he and Tanya had been in love for three years and that the video was just normal behavior between a couple. He hadn't expected it to be secretly recorded by paparazzi posing as hotel staff. The Alter Group had reported the incident to the police. "The hotel is owned by the Alter Group, so they can't really blame the hotel. They can only make a show of reporting to the police," Shawn commented on the news while cooking. Ivy said, "Oh," and continued to watch the television. "Just now, the Alter Group announced that their future heir, Kevin, will hold an engagement ceremony with Dr. Tanya Parker--one of the top ten outstanding doctors in the City, next Monday." "According to reports, the outstanding Dr. Tanya Potts is also a low-key wealthy heiress. It is believed that this marriage is a strong alliance between the Alter and Potts families, and the industry is looking forward to the wedding!" The news anchor reported this with a professional tone. Shawn quickly turned his head, looking at Ivy nervously.However, Ivy remained calm and didn't take her eyes off the television. After the report, she saw an interview with Kevin, who appeared in a well-tailored suit, completely different from the disheveled appearance on the night he had confronted her. "I and Tanya have been in love for a long time. I proposed to her last month. We initially wanted to have a low-key engagement ceremony, but it turned out to be not so low-key," he said with a gentlemanly smile, seemingly unaffected by the impact of those videos. Bob Alter actually agreed to get married? After thinking for a while, Ivy suddenly felt two dark figures behind her. She instinctively turned around and was almost scared out of her wits. "What are you two staring at me for?" Shawn had stopped cooking, and Mr. Luke had also stopped supervising him. Both of them had put down their tasks and were observing her with wide, round eyes. Shawn seemed to see through what Ivy was thinking and explained with a faint smile, "It's said that Bob Alter chose Tanya because his investment with H Capital had no hope, so he's using her to exit and take advantage of the situation with DT Investments." Ivy said, "Oh," and continued to watch the TV. "So, Alter Group hopes to use Tanya's family background to make a comeback." Shawn nodded and said mockingly, "I wonder what will happen when Bob Alter eventually discovers that the invisible wealthy heiress Potts is just a lie." Ivy, who was reading her friends' congratulations and compliments in the group, suddenly understood Shawn's meaning. "An eye for an eye," she mumbled. Shawn laughed, "That's right. It's not easy to mess with these people. I'll serve you breakfast right away. You must be starving." Ivy nodded and continued reading the messages in her chat group. "What happened? Did something good happen to you?" A classmate asked. Ivy replied, "I've just been a bit busy lately." Another classmate chimed in, "I heard that Alter Group's engagement announcement is related to you. Is that true?"Ivy smiled and replied their questions casually. During their conversation, Shawn's porridge was ready. He brought the porridge over to Ivy. She looked at him, sitting in his wheelchair, and felt a mix of inspiration, bitterness, and hardship. He was in a wheelchair and still worked so hard to cook porridge for her, while she, with fully functioning limbs, only knew how to make instant noodles for him. Thinking about this, Ivy felt a pang of guilt. She took a spoonful, blew on it, and put it in her mouth. "Uh!" Her eyebrows furrowed, then turned to Shawn with a miserable look. Finally, she spat it into the trash can. Shawn, he must be taking revenge on her for making instant noodles for him! Ivy grumbled inwardly. However, Shawn was completely unaware of her thoughts. He had merely heeded Jasson's advice to be kind to her, break down her defenses, and find the right opportunity to get to the bottom of her true intentions behind the hasty marriage. "What's wrong?" he asked with concern. "Doesn't it taste good?" "It's... not that." Ivy shook her head repeatedly. "It's just too hot, too hot." Shawn's furrowed brows relaxed when he heard her explanation. He smiled indulgently. "Don't rush; you can drink it later." "Okay," she mumbled and took another sip of water, nodding vaguely. Shawn took off his apron and went to change his clothes in the inner room. Ivy stared at the bowl of porridge, hesitating whether she should drink it or not. If she didn't drink it, she'd be wasting Shawn's kindness. But if she did, her life might be in danger. In the end, she decided to seek the assistant's help. The personal assistant arched an eyebrow. "Is it too salty?" Ivy felt helpless. "It's so salty." The personal assistant shrugged. "I already warned him earlier. I told him this salt was a bit salty, that just a little bit would be enough, but he didn't listen. He even used a big handful of it!" Ivy imagined Shawn adding salt to the porridge and shuddered at the thought. "So what should we do?" The personal assistant was about to speak, but Shawn emerged from the inner room. Seeing him in a new suit and neatly groomed hair, Ivy asked, "Are you going out?" "Yeah, there's an emergency meeting at the company." Ivy felt relieved and urged, "Then go quickly. I'll head to the clinic later." Shawn looked at the porridge in her bowl but didn't touch it. "Doesn't it suit your taste? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I can skip the meeting and stay with you." "No, no," Ivy quickly took another scoop of porridge and ate it spoon by spoon, chuckling like a fool. "It's delicious, really delicious. You don't need to worry. I'll make sure to finish this tasty porridge." The personal assistant gave her a look filled with admiration for her acting skills. With that, Shawn was reassured and patted her on the head. He was content as he left the house for his meeting. Ivy rushed to the bathroom only after she was sure he had gone far away and began frantically rinsing her mouth. "Water, water, water..." she muttered. She drank an entire 2 liters of water before she felt like she had finally recovered. Lilith called, and after listening to her, she almost burst out laughing. "Ivy, I didn't realize that your husband is still quite important to you." Ivy was taken aback, subconsciously tightening her grip. "He rarely cooks for me, and I don't want to make him sad." "For the sake of not making him sad, you're willing to endure such salty porridge. My Ivy, you've become more considerate." Ivy fell silent for a while. Although Lilith's words were straightforward, she had to admit that she seemed to care more and more about Shawn. She thought for a long time and couldn't figure out when the change had started until Lilith said again, "But it's okay, Ivy. You married him because of love, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have married him." Ivy paused. Yes, she had married Shawn.Since they were married, being considerate of each other was only normal, right? Thinking of this, Ivy quickly released her inner turmoil. ***
