Chapter 1152 - 1160: A Match Made in Heaven

Two people with such an open affair, one playing the mistress role with such pride, are truly a perfect match.

Anna didn’t call anyone out, and Mr. Monroe didn’t force Anna to address anyone in front of all these people.

After all, it was a party thrown for a mistress, but it couldn’t be too blatant.

"Miles!"

Ivy Preston approached Miles Morgan, softly saying, "My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, I want to sit on the side."

"Okay!" Miles Morgan pulled his thoughts away from Anna and Mrs. Monroe and nodded at Ivy Preston, "Go take a rest, I’ll introduce you to some people later."

From Miles Morgan’s words and at this party, it was clear he truly liked Ivy Preston.

However, he wants to be a hypocrite while trying to keep his moral high ground! He doesn’t want to suffer losses by divorcing Mrs. Monroe.

Midway through the party, Miles Morgan went on stage to thank the guests attending the gathering.

Once he stood there, he realized many guests came today, far more than he had sent out invitations for.

Originally, it was a small and exclusive gathering, attended by his close friends.

Strangely, there were quite a few people he didn’t know!

Miles Morgan had a bad premonition, but he did not pay too much attention.

There were no reporters here, and he hadn’t explicitly told anyone that Ivy Preston was his lover, so even if rumors spread, they would only be rumors.

"Thank you all for attending my family’s party."

"Both my wife and I especially welcome your presence."

Miles Morgan deliberately included Mrs. Monroe in his speech to subtly inform everyone that Ivy Preston’s status was supported by Mrs. Monroe.

Many people in this social circle have lovers outside, and knowing Mr. Monroe has a lover and an illegitimate child, those playboys didn’t see anything wrong. They just didn’t expect Miles Morgan to be more skilled, able to persuade Mrs. Monroe to bring someone into the Morgan Family.

It truly is a win-win solution.

The men admired Miles Morgan’s courage and audacity, while the women pitied and scorned Mrs. Monroe’s compromise.

As Miles Morgan was speaking, Mrs. Monroe handed her wine glass to Anna.

"Mom, it’s okay."

Anna nodded at Mrs. Monroe, watching her walk up.

Both Anna and Mrs. Monroe knew what was about to happen, Mrs. Monroe was nervous, but Anna was even more nervous.

When people get nervous, they seek security.

Anna held the wine glass, shifting her gaze from Mrs. Monroe to one person after another in the crowd.

She was looking for Carter Lockwood.

Carter Lockwood came earlier than her, and their marriage hadn’t been publicly disclosed, so they attended parties separately.

Anna searched through many people but couldn’t find Carter Lockwood, suddenly feeling uneasy.

Her relationship with Carter Lockwood wasn’t something she needed to hide.

Why couldn’t they just be openly together!

"Right here!"

A familiar voice came from behind, Anna turned around joyfully to see Carter Lockwood right behind her.

When did he arrive!

Anna looked at him, her eyes dry and red, feeling incredibly secure after seeing Carter Lockwood.

"Hmm!" With people all around, Anna responded softly, imagining how much she wanted to hold his hand now.

But she couldn’t; they agreed to keep their marriage secret. If it became public, what if it affected him! What if he was unhappy, what then!

In a flash, Anna thought of many things, all concerning Carter Lockwood’s feelings.

She didn’t know Carter Lockwood compromised in everything for her, even the secret marriage, just to make her happy.

Suddenly, Mrs. Monroe went on stage, and Miles Morgan below looked surprised.

He hadn’t heard Mrs. Monroe mention this beforehand, what was she going to say!

Miles Morgan stood still, thinking Mrs. Monroe, being someone who understood the bigger picture, would definitely indirectly acknowledge Ivy Preston’s status on stage.

"Thank you all for attending the Morgan Family’s party."

The same opening as Miles Morgan’s.
