Chapter 506 - Counter plan (1/2)

Amber did not have the patience to walk all five miles and getting on the bus was beyond her acceptance. She had already experienced how horrible it was to travel through a public bus. All she could do was hail a cab even though she would be left with less money in the end. The only consoling factor in this was that everything was for Joshua, and once she got together with him, she would be able to lead the luxurious life she always craved for.

While Amber was busy planning her next course of action to enter the hospital to meet Joshua, the man in question was on a conference call with his friends and Ivy.​​

”Joshua, your ex has become a psycho,” Ian stated as he took a look at a patient's report.

”I realized it long back. Thank my brain for thinking quickly and getting out of the hospital before she got there.” Joshua boasted, and Ivy scoffed at his self-appraisal. Ignoring her looks, he continued, ”Otherwise, it would have been difficult for me to bear her nonsense. It's as though she has lost all her sense of reasoning.”

”I agree,” Ian added. ” Why isn't Noah speaking a word?” He lifted his head with a frown.

”Noah, where is Aria?” Ivy asked another question to the man who was gazing at Aria. He c_a_r_e_s_sed her cheek as he observed the sleeping girl beside him.

”Aria is sleeping.” He replied softly, making sure to keep his voice low to not disturb Aria even though he knew that she would not be waking up any time soon. He had drained her out after their intense s_e_x.

”Why is she sleeping until now? It's past noon.” Ivy frowned, not getting the hint in his words, and gave Joshua a questionable look. But all she got in return was the man's devilish smirk.

”Ivy, do you really want to know why Aria is still sleeping?” Joshua raised his brows at her, and this time, Ivy got the hint. She bit her tongue for asking such a question. How could not know what might have transpired between the couple, especially after she was the one who had helped Aria in her plan? The last few days had been quite hectic for her that she had completely forgotten about what Aria had prepared for Noah.

”Noah, did you torture my sister now that you finally caught her alone? I am telling you...” That was what she could muster to say before Joshua shut her mouth with his palm. Ivy closed her eyes shut in embarrassment. 'Oh, Lord!! What was I doing?' She wondered to herself when the realization hit her, and all she wanted to do was hide under the blankets forever.

”Ignore her, Noah. I presume you were a beast in bed. Otherwise, why would Aria still be sleeping when it is already noon.” Joshua teased, waiting for his friend to respond. But the man chose to remain silent, for he wanted to hear the words from Aria, not from anyone else.

”What the heck!! How long will you people torture me? Spare this single man, please.” Ian cried and shut the report in his hand in frustration. ”I can't tolerate this torment anymore.”

Ivy just chuckled at his words while Noah rolled his eyes as he continued to run his fingers over Aria's cheeks lovingly. His gaze turned soft on seeing her, and he pulled the duvet until her chin in worry. Although it was sunny outside, the room was quite cool as they had lowered the temperature during their intense workout. He picked up the remote and raised the temperature by a few degrees.

”Ian,” Joshua spoke with a satirical tone. ”We have already told you to find yourself someone. It does not matter if it is a girl or a boy. We don't judge people on their s_e_x_u_a_l orientation.” Ivy jabbed his c_h_e_s_t and shook her head at once.

”Oh yeah. Joshua, when you visit the hospital next time, I will keep in mind to change your s_e_x for you. Be prepared.” Ian lowkey threatened him, and this shut Joshua for a few moments.

”Ian, are you trying to make Ivy a widow?” Joshua gritted his teeth and took a look at the girl who was laughing until tears formed in her eyes.

”Why will Ivy become a widow?” Ian queried in confusion.

”If I am unable to satisfy her, I am as good as dead. Wouldn't that make Ivy a widow?” Joshua winked at Ivy, who was now glaring at him.

”Don't worry, Ian,” Ivy interjected. ”You have my full permission. You can do what you want with Joshua. I don't mind. If it comes to a state where Joshua cannot satisfy me, I will find another boyfriend.”

Now it was Joshua's turn to glare at her while Ivy stuck out her tongue at him playfully. ”I will take care of you later. Wait for it.” Joshua threatened but it did not have any effect on the girl.

”I wonder how. You are prohibited from involving any strenuous activities until I say so, and that included s_e_x too.” Now it was Ian's turn to pour oil to Joshua's raging misery, and Ivy gave the man a thumbs up for helping her.
