Inside the room, Ivan saw two people working harmoniously with each other on the drug research. Although he only saw their backs, the two were standing very close to each other, with one handing some tool to the other from time to time. Even though they both were wearing sterile gloves, they seemed very intimate from where Ivan stood.
Ivan coughed to drew their attention.
The act made the two looked over their shoulders at the same time.
Rowan and Darcie were shocked to see him there.
He marched inside and saw Jennifer, who had got her hair cut, wearing a mask and a smart-looking ponytail.
"Stop! You don't have a protective suit on!" Darcie gestured him to stop walking on.
Ivan halted his march as told. The voice didn't sound like her! How did she manage to change her voice?
But there was no way he would have mistaken the woman he had slept with.
He surveyed her with a funny look on his face, and thought her figure hadn't changed at all. How come his mother had not recognized her?
The stare made Darcie feel nervous.
Ivan looked back at the door and said, "The door is wide open, so this is not even a sterile zone. What's the use of a protective suit?"
"You..."
Then he continued to marched on.
For reasons unknown, Darcie's nerves were on edge, as she felt that the approaching man was some shady character.
She was only two fists away from Rowan, the distance that annoyed Ivan more.
In a customized suit that was neat and stylish, Ivan stood tall, looking hunky and formidable.
Ivan stood in front of Darcie and reached out his hand to push Rowan away, a way of saying "Get away from my wife!"
Rowan was astonished!
He was being jealous?
Ivan asked before Darcie said anything, "Why are you living here?"
