Diana was shocked by the little girl's request. She was only five years old, yet she was toying with her. Ivy definitely knew what she was doing."This little devil!" Diana thought. She was the daughter of Mr Christopher, a great business magnate and the fiancée of Ricardo. A powerful woman like her was asked to apologize to a little girl? In her dreams! Marie realized that Diana was not going to apologize, she sighed and put on a little frown.If you don't want to apologize, then don't apologize! But why do you have to raise your voice like that? I'm just a little girl. She sobbed again, gaining everyone's sympathy. Whispers were heard in the room, criticizing Diana.Why is she so mean to that little girl? What's so hard about apologizing? They said. It roused Diana's anger even more.Ricardo looked at Ivy and thought she was so pitiful. The way her amber eyes gleamed with tears made him feel terrible. His chest tightened and he turned to Diana. Diana, she's just a little girl, just apologize to her. He said softly. Diana was baffled. How could he defend the girl instead of her? Ricardo, so you're taking her side now? She couldn't believe him. Jealousy crept on her skin. Why would Ricardo defend Ivy instead of her? It didn't make any sense, she was a stranger!Diana was holding herself back from strangling this little girl. She had enough of this ridiculous scenario. She threw the bouquet to the ground and stormed out of the room with tears in her eyes. Ricardo saw her upset and chased her. Diana, wait! He shouted. Once the two of them were out of sight, Ivy stopped her crying, raised her eyes, wiped her tears and pretended to still look sad, since there were still people around. The corner of her lips was slightly raised up. Ivy was enjoying this!She bent down and picked up the little monitoring and recording device toy on the Ground and pressed one of the buttons. It turned into a cube, which she quickly placed back in her pocket.
Then, she picked up the bouquet and straightened her pink dress. Rose watched the whole thing and was getting worried about her little girl. She was about to approach Ivy when she saw Diana and Ricardo arguing outside. It was certainly an interesting sight to behold. She remembered in the past, Ricardo once told her that Diana was a calm and mature woman who never caused a scene. Yet it seemed to her that those weren't true. How she wanted to laugh and mocked them at the time, but Rose decided to let it slide. She needed to have some self-restraint. After all, she was no longer the Rose from five years ago. Baby, are you okay? Rose approached Ivy, who smiled when she saw her.Mum, don't worry, I am okay. See? She spun around to show her that she was fine. Rose couldn't help but smile at how cute her daughter was. Yes, she was her daughter, not Ricardo's.Thank goodness, that woman must have given you a hard time. She kissed her daughter's chubby cheek and took her hand. No worries, mum. Ivy is a big girl, I can handle someone like her. Rose chuckled at her daughter's response. She was glad everything had passed. Her heart nearly dropped a beat earlier when she saw Ivy close to Ricardo. She was scared that the man would recognize her as his daughter and vice versa. But there was no way, right? Yes, she must be overthinking it. Mum, the toast is about to start. Let's go back to our table. Ivy said and Rose nodded. She gently took her hand, picked her up from the ground and led her back to the table.
