Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 536

Ivy Dawson followed Grace Hart's pointing finger.

A massive, dazzling bouquet of red roses sat quietly on the shoe cabinet.

Ivy didn't understand.

Was this... for her?

Seeing that the secret was out, Elliot Ashcombe decided to drop the act.

Although his original confession plan had been completely derailed, and the current situation was far from romantic—maybe even a little comical—he didn't care.

He didn't want to wait anymore.

Especially after that terrifying moment when he thought Ivy had been hurt. The sheer dread of losing her had made one thing crystal clear.

Pride was completely worthless; making her his was the only thing that mattered.

Elliot took a deep breath, walked over, and picked up the bouquet.

"Ivy Dawson."

He called her full name, his voice steady and completely free of its usual stutter.

Ivy grew nervous at his sudden seriousness, instinctively taking a half-step back.

"Wh-what are you doing?"

"These flowers are for you."

Elliot held the flowers out to her, his gaze unwavering. "I know I look like a mess right now, and I'm not exactly acting like a gentleman. But when I heard you cry out in pain earlier, only one thought crossed my mind."

"I want to take care of you."

"And I don't just like you as a friend."

"I want to be the first person you think of whenever you're hurt or upset. I don't want you to ever have to endure anything alone again."

"I wanna be the man who... soothes your pain."

The hallway fell completely silent.

Ivy was utterly dumbfounded.

She stared at the man standing in front of her, her mind exploding like fireworks, leaving her thoughts in absolute chaos.

He liked her?

Elliot Ashcombe liked her?

Was this some kind of joke!

She wasn't exactly some elegant socialite; she was loud, chaotic, and far from the picture of feminine grace.

The men who used to hover around her were either after her looks or trying to get to Grace through her.

No one had ever told her they wanted to be the one to soothe her pain.
