Chapter 2 Ha . Owen's idea of " making it right " was moving Ivy Wells into the villa next door . Ivy was looking radiant as she directed people moving furniture inside . When she saw me , she gave me a taunting smile . " Miss Blake , I told Owen I loved your home's layout , so he had designers recreate the exact same setup . " " Even the nursery is identical . " Owen walked out of the house , and when he saw me , his expression got a bit awkward . But he still immediately stepped in front of ivy to protect her . " Ivy likes the house here . You're not living in the same place , so you won't bother each other . " Watching him stand so firmly in front of Ivy , I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt . Owen suddenly softened his tone . " Nora , you hurt Ivy last time . Apologize to her , and you two can get along from now on . " I looked at Owen , somewhat speechless . What the hell was he thinking ? How could a wife possibly get along peacefully with a mistress ? When I didn't grovel and apologize as he'd expected , a flash of displeasure crossed Owen Pierce's eyes . " Nora , when I give you an out , you should take it . If I wasn't holding back , you'd already be in jail right now . " What a joke . Even if he wanted to send me there , he'd need evidence . I'd deleted all the surveillance footage clean . If I didn't have more important things to do today , I'd show him exactly what kind of person Nora Blake really was . " Mommy . " Mason's sweet voice came from behind me . He was holding his teddy bear , waiting quietly for me . I couldn't help but soften my expression . But then Ivy Wells actually crouched down right in front of Mason . I moved to stop her , but Owen blocked me . " You're Mason , right ? I heard you've been sick and weak since you were little ? " " Do you know why your body is so weak ? " " Because when your mom was pregnant with you , she was still fooling around with lots of men outside . She went too far and caused you to be born premature . It's all because of what your mom did . Who knows how much longer you'll even live . " " I'm different though . I keep myself pure . I'll definitely give Owen a healthy child . " Ivy let out a fake sigh . My Hubby's Second Family 9.0 % Chapter 2 Just as she was about to turn and gloat at me , I slapped her to the ground . My assistant nearby quickly covered my son's eyes and carried him back inside . Ivy clutched her face , screaming as she tried to lunge at me . I grabbed her hair and slapped her again . " How dare you ! How dare you say that kind of thing in front of my son ! " I was shaking with rage . " Owen , save me ! " A shocked Owen Pierce snapped back to reality and immediately stepped in front of me . He grabbed my hand and growled , " Enough . " " Ivy wasn't wrong . If you hadn't been sleeping around with men while you were pregnant , why would Mason's health be so poor ? This is what you deserve . " Even knowing how heartless this man could be , my heart was still deeply wounded . Back when Mason was born at seven months , the company Owen and I had built together faced its biggest crisis . The funding chain had collapsed . If we didn't solve this problem , bankruptcy was inevitable . When he was ready to give up , I was the one who went out with my pregnant belly , begging people to invest . Finally , I successfully secured the investment . But the baby was born premature because I'd overworked myself . I had clearly caused the premature birth because I was working for the company , which is why Mason was born with a weak constitution . But they twisted my efforts into something so disgusting . Owen didn't care about my pain at all . " Look at yourself right now - you're acting like a lunatic . " Ivy shrieked behind him , " Owen , hit her back ! I want her to pay for what she did to me ! " Just as I was about to throw caution to the wind and fight to the death , my assistant came running out anxiously , holding my son . " Ms. Blake , the young master can't breathe .
