章 287: Anger? Yes. Hatred? No.

It was only after hearing Oliver's question did Ivy realize she had not told him anything about her mother. Nobody told him about her death and Ivy was in a fix now on how to reveal the news to him. However, she could not hide it from him too. It was something he had to know.

"Dad, please sit down." Ivy held Oliver's hands and made him sit on the kitchen counter chair.

"What happened Ivy? Is everything alright?" Oliver stared at his daughter in confusion before his eyes settled on Joshua. He raised his eyebrows at him but did not receive any answer. Seeing all the three people silent, Oliver's heartbeat spiked up and he was scared now. "Ivy, speak something. I am getting scared. What happened to your mother?"

Unable to stand the tension, Oliver jumped off the chair and held his daughter's shoulders. "Please tell me, Ivy."

"Dad." A feeble voice was heard from outside the kitchen and everybody turned to look at Aria waiting outside the kitchen.
