Chapter 467 Without a Marriage 4 Certificate 1 An hour later, I left and visited Ivanna.

When I arrived, I saw the composed Jared standing at her bedside. He usually looked like that, but I saw his slight panic that night.

The two seemed to be enjoying each other’s company at that moment.

When I entered, Jared rose and told Ivanna, “You two chat. I'll be back in a bit.” Then, he nodded at me and left the ward.

I gazed at Ivanna and noticed she looked much better. She asked, “Where’s Lauren?” “Well, Oliver's wife isn’t doing well, so

I consoled her, “Don’t rush. Try to take it easy.” I wanted to change the subject, but she interjected, “I had prepared myself for this since I started seeing him. Still, I never expected Trinity to...” Although she trailed off, I understood she lacked the courage to continue.

Even an ordinary woman wouldn’t let go of a marriage, not to mention someone as ferocious as Trinity.

Ivanna uttered in resignation, “They’re only engaged and not legally married.”

-_ CTY BVTWo Iwas surprised, asking, “You mean Trinity and Jared never got a marriage certificate?” - | “Yeah,” Ivanna chuckled, “Jared once told me he dares to love me because he’s a free and responsible man. He wouldn’t want to trap me in passivity.” “Didn’t you know about that before?” I asked, feeling skeptical.

“I didn’t, but when we slept together, Jared told me he would take full responsibility for me.” Ivanna blushed.

“No one knows they’re not married.” For some reason, I felt a sense of relief and joy. I squeezed Ivanna’s hand, saying, "That’s the best outcome. Jared is yours as long as they don't get the certificate."

I believed in Jared, Although he appeared gentle and courteous, he was decisive and stubborn. Once he decided something, he wouldn't give up, no matter what.

Ivanna had always been a fiery and decisive “big sister” in the workplace.

Seeing her so vulnerable made me sad.

Somehow, everything reminded me of Matthew. He had never shown weakness when we were together.

Instead, he appeared strong. I found it comical because his strong persona was only for show. Meanwhile, his true self was the sentimental person who sought my advice last night.

I wondered how I ever fell for him.

Ivanna noticed my distraction and shook my hand, asking, “Is everything

okay?” 1 offered a faint smile. “It’s nothing,” “Then why do you look so distracted?” Ivanna always understood me the best.

"It’s about Matthew’s mom. Things have escalated,” I chuckled, recounting the situation to Ivanna as if to lighten my mood.

Ivanna seemed much more spirited now. “It's not that I look down on that jerk, but he's not a real man. He let Melanie get the better of him. He’s not the same Matthew anymore.” I smirked. “Matthew was never good, but I just never realized it. He had been hiding behind his self-righteous facade for so many years. His history

with Melanie had been brewing for a long time. I was the fool all along.” I could never forget what Melanie described to me at the bar.
