Better Late Than Never

On a muggy summer night at the Oak Manor Club, Ivy Taylor sat alone in a booth, close to the air conditioning. The cold breeze occasionally lifted her white dress, revealing a pair of alluring long legs. Yet, the unapproachable look in her eyes deterred the men who tried to approach her.

Tonight, Ivy Taylors focus was solely on a woman named Teresa Lee, around twenty-five or six years old, with fair skin, slender figure, black long hair, small mouth, flat chest, and big eyes. At that moment, Teresa was leaning against William Shen, their eyes exchanging affection, inseparable.

With her back to that table, Ivy Taylor adjusted her makeup mirror for a while but couldnt figure out where Teresa was better than herself. Staring intently, tears streamed down Ivy Taylors face. Her white teeth clenched so hard that the taste of blood spread.

She hated the two of them and resented the group of friends at that table. She had wholeheartedly loved William Shen for so many years, usually hearing them call her "sister-in-law." Now that the "white moonlight" had returned to the country for nearly two months and was inseparable from William Shen every day, none of these guys took the initiative to tell her...

Ivy Taylor picked up the cocktail by her side and drank it all with tears.

However, her stomach was weak, unable to digest alcohol and heartbreak.

After the third Long Island Iced Tea, Ivy Taylor rushed to the restroom and vomited.

In her drunkenness, she saw a man in a white shirt and black trousers.

Ivy Taylor staggered over and mumbled, "Sir, did you go to the wrong restroom?"

The man turned his head, glanced at her, and seemed to question: Could there be a urinal in the womens restroom?

This raised Ivy Taylors alertness, and she was shocked by the mans face!

"You, youre Noah Carter! Noah?"

It had been years, and he had changed so much!

The once unruly, short-haired, and rebellious youth now carried an aura of restrained desire, even his posture while relieving himself was elegant.

"Did you recognize my face or something else?" Noah Carter turned away and asked coldly.

Ivy Taylor blushed and quickly averted her eyes, "Are you here with William Shen and the others?"

Noah Carter zipped up his trousers and turned to wash his hands.

The sound of the running water might have covered his casual response.

Later, Ivy Taylor only heard him say, "You didnt come with William Shen."

Her question, his statement.

Ivy Taylor took a deep breath, "Noah, I want to ask you for a favor."

The man frowned and didnt respond.

"The woman William Shen used to like is back, and now hes with her every day, lying to me that hes busy with work. Can you talk to Williams parents for me?"

Ivy Taylor had heard that Williams parents didnt like Teresa and didnt agree with their relationship. If they knew Teresa had returned to the country and was involved with William again, they would definitely intervene again.

"What does it have to do with me?"

Noah Carter dried his hands and glanced at Ivy Taylor.

Ivy Taylor blushed and bit her lip gently, "I just dont want to see them so carefree."

"Why dont you have some fun then?"

With that, Noahs eyes flashed, and with a flick of his long fingers, Ivy Taylor, with her delicate jaw, hit the wall with a thud!

...

An hour later, Ivy Taylor lay exhausted on the back seat of Noahs car, her long legs trembling and weak.

Under the influence of alcohol, she felt a sense of revengeful pleasure rising from the ground to the sky.

But after the passion faded, reason was stranded again.

Ivy Taylor felt regretful!

Not only because she had hastily given away her innocence of twenty-four or five years.

But also because Noahs identity was indeed not an ordinary stranger—

He is the eldest son of the Luo family in River City, the head of the family, Luo Xiangdongs eldest son, and William Shens cousin.
