Violet suppressed the exhaustion in her heart and reached out to touch the two kids' faces, "It's okay, don't worry, I will take care of it."
"But ......"
Calvin was about to say something else.
Violet rubbed her brow, "Alright, you guys go back to your rooms first, let me have some quiet time and think of a way to clear the air with your dad."
"Okay." Calvin nodded and pulled Arya upstairs.
Walking up the stairs, Arya spoke in a small voice, "Brother, if Daddy treats us all like this in the future, are we going to lose him?"
"No." Calvin answered with a serious face, "I will find a way to make Daddy and Mommy make up, and as long as they are good again, he will still be our Daddy."
"Well, then I'm going to help too!" Arya smiled.
"Then let's go back to our room and figure out what to do." Calvin opened the door to his room and pulled her inside.
In the study.
Ivy stood in front of Stanley's desk apprehensively, "Staley, are you angry with me?"
"Ivy, this is your second time to stitch Violet up. Last time you fell, but said Violet pushed you, this time you are not only abusive to Violet, but also to two kids. When did you become so vicious?" Stanley looked at her with a stranger's glance.
Ivy's panicked, and then she said indignantly, "Stanley, I am vicious? I did it all for you."
"For me?" Stanley frowned.
Ivy nodded, "Yes, I asked you last night why you were suddenly so cold to Miss Hunt, and you told me that Miss Hunt was your enemy, so I tried to help you."
"Your so-called help is to vilify two innocent kids with such language?" Stanley slapped his hand on the table.
Ivy froze, "I could only do that. You love Miss Hunt, but there was a deep hatred between you, you said you didn't know how to get along with Miss Hunt, so I thought, let Miss Hunt leave you voluntarily. That’s why I said something like that."
When she said that, she took a breath and added, "As long as Miss Hunt can't accept these humiliations, she will definitely leave of her own accord so that you don't have to be struggling with how to get along with her."
"Whether you're doing it for me or for yourself, Ivy, you know it in your heart." Stanley narrowed his eyes, gazing at her as if he wanted to see her through.
Ivy's heart was weak and her gaze dodged unconsciously, "Stanley, of course I'm doing this for you, I'm with Henry now, how could I possibly do something nasty?"
"I hope so." Stanley spoke coldly.
Ivy was slightly relieved to see that he didn't pursue the matter, and looked at him as she added, "Stanley, then how about you cite this solution of mine? Since you don't know how to get along with her, then it would be the best option for you two to separate."
"This is my business, no need for you to interfere." Stanley pursed his lips impatiently.
Ivy was upset in her heart, "Stanley, don't you give up? Miss Hunt is one of the murderers who killed your parents, you are with her and helping her raise those two kids, what do you want your parents think?"
"That's enough, get out, you're not in charge of my affairs!" Stanley pointed at the door with an icy face.
Ivy knew he was furious and didn't dare to confront him, her voice softened, "Fine, I'll go out, but Stanley, I hope you think about it, it's better for you and Miss Hunt to separate, otherwise you'll just become a pair of resentful couples."
With that, she turned and went out.
Silence returned to the study, and Stanley closed his eyes in exhaustion, his arm resting on the sofa.
How could he not know that separating from Violet would be the best option?
But he really loved her, and the thought of being separated made his heart ache.
