Ivan planned to leave the next morning so he didn't tell Jennifer today.

He would tell her tonight or the next morning as he didn't want to upset her.

He thought she might also like him, probably.

Perhaps she felt the same way as he did.

Catherine didn't come to Kelsington Bay because Ivan told her specifically that he didn't want to see her here.

But Aubree didn't know this and she still thought Catherine would come for lunch, so she sent the menu to the cook and chose some dishes Catherine would like.

She still didn't come at eleven.

"Pippa, Catherine didn't say anything yesterday, did she?" Aubree was confused, "Did she say she wouldn't come today?"

"No."

"Then why hasn't she come?" Aubree then grabbed the phone and called her.

In a few seconds, Catherine's familiar voice came through, "Auntie."

"Catherine, where are you? Lunch is almost ready, why haven't you come?"

"I won't be there today." Catherine said softly, "And auntie, there's something I need to remind you of."

"What?" Aubree got serious when hearing this, "You can talk to me."

Catherine thought for a while, pretending to hesitate.

"Don't worry. Just say it." Aubree guessed, "Is it Ivan? Did he do something that upset you, so you don't wanna come here?"

"No, that's not it." Catherine said, "Auntie, I saw Ivan walk into Darcie's room yesterday at Kelsington Bay. I knocked for so long before they opened the door and there were wrinkles on the sheet." Aubree was shocked and it seemed she had thought of something, "Is that true?"

"I wonder if Darcie had drugged him so that he has been so obsessed with her lately." Catherine added, "If not it, then why would he move to Kelsington Bay?"

That would be a great explanation for him moving in.

Did Darcie really drug and control him?

"That would be horrible..." Aubree was worried, "What does she want? The Marsh Group? Or to marry my son?"

Catherine was upset, "Auntie, let her treat you first. She doesn't have superpower or something. She can't get everything she wants."

"How could I keep someone so evil around me?" Aubree's voice got colder.

"Ivan will go to US tomorrow for a meeting," Catherine said, "He won't live here when he's back and I'll tell him to stay away from that woman."

"Catherine..." Aubree didn't know what else to say, "Thank you for being so attentive and careful. I'll keep an eye on her. Don't worry. Are you going with him tomorrow?" "Yes, we'll go together."

"Then please take good care of him. I'll be pleased with you around him."

"I will." Catherine added, "Take care, auntie. I have a meeting waiting for me."

"Okay."

The call had ended but Aubree was still lost in her thought on the couch.

Ivan was in Darcie's room. It took them so long to get the door and there were wrinkles on the sheet?

Wasn't he in love with that ill-mannered girl Jennifer?

Aubree decided to figure this out.

After a few moments of thinking, she finally got her plan.

The next morning.

Ivan got up early and he knocked on the door of Darcie's room.

She answered the door with a mask on her face. When she saw it was Ivan, she then let go of the doorknob, "Morning."

Ivan entered the room, "I gotta go to the States."

Darcie took off her mask, astonished by the news, "Now? What happened?"

At this time, Aubree also got up early in her bedroom and was staring at the security camera. She was flabbergasted when she saw the face of Jennifer, her hand clenching the fabric on her chest. And even Pippa standing beside was shocked.

Darcie was actually Jennifer?

How was that even possible?

Inside Darcie's room.

Ivan reached out to hug Jennifer as he cherished every moment now, "I have a meeting with an old friend. He's in a wheelchair, so..."

"Then go." She felt relived at his words and then gently pushed him, "You don't have to report everything about your work to me."

"That's not reporting." Ivan was holding her and rubbing his chin on her shoulder, "You are my wife. A wife deserves to know what her husband is doing. That's called a marriage."

She somehow got a warm feeling in her heart from these words.
