Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143: I was waiting for you

Ivy paused mid-game and turned to stare at Aaron.

For a moment, she wondered if she had heard him correctly.

Nora? Out of all people?

After failing to grab Xander’s attention, Ivy had never imagined Nora would somehow find her way to Aaron as well.

Just what does this girl want? Ivy thought.

Meanwhile, Aaron remained completely nonchalant, his eyes fixed on the television as he continued pressing buttons on the controller.

Recovering from her surprise, Ivy shook her head.

"Then let me give you a piece of advice," she said before returning her attention to the game. "She’s not good for you."

Aaron glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

There was no hesitation in her voice. No jealousy. No hidden agenda.

Just a straightforward warning.

That alone made him chuckle.

"I know."

Ivy blinked.

"You know?"

"Of course I know."

Aaron casually leaned back against the couch.

"That’s why I blocked her number before I even got home."

For a second, Ivy simply stared at him.

Then an amused scoff escaped her lips.

"That bad?"

Aaron laughed.

"Let’s just say dinner was... educational."

Ivy couldn’t help but smirk.

"Well, at least you learned something."

"Oh, I learned plenty."

Aaron’s character landed another perfect attack, causing Ivy’s character to lose yet another life.

He grinned.

"I learned that you’re definitely the better sister."

Ivy nearly dropped her controller.

"What?"

Aaron shrugged.

"I’m just stating facts."

"That’s not a compliment."

"It absolutely is."

"No, it’s an insult to both of us."

Aaron burst out laughing.

For the first time that evening, the irritation from Aaron’s disastrous date completely faded away.

Surprisingly, arguing with Ivy over a video game was far more enjoyable than spending hours with Nora.

Aaron leaned back against the couch and casually said, "So, can I start calling you my sister-in-law now?"

Ivy froze.

"What?"

"You heard me."

Aaron’s grin widened.

"You said you’re staying here permanently, didn’t you? That means I should probably start supporting your future with my brother."

Ivy almost choked on her own saliva.

She stared at him as if he had suddenly lost his mind.

"What kind of conclusion is that?"

"A very reasonable one."

"There is absolutely nothing reasonable about it."

Aaron laughed.

"Oh, come on. Do you really think Xander Emerson is the type of man who would let you walk away after bringing you into his life?"

The smile remained on his face, but the confidence in his voice made Ivy pause.

It wasn’t a threat.

It was worse.

It sounded like a fact.

And somehow, that made her even more uncomfortable.

Aaron noticed her expression and chuckled.

"See? Even you don’t have an answer to that."

Ivy rolled her eyes and returned her attention to the game.

"You’re impossible."

"So I’ve been told."

Despite her annoyance, his words lingered in the back of her mind.

*My sister-in-law.*

The title felt strangely heavy.

Not because she intended to leave.

The truth was, she had already decided to stay.

Leo needed stability, and she had grown attached to the little boy far more than she ever intended.

But Aaron’s words forced her to think about something she had been carefully avoiding.

Xander.

Her relationship with him.

The future.

Was she ready for something like that?

Wasn’t it still too early?

The questions only made her head hurt.

Without realizing it, her thoughts drifted toward the man responsible for most of her recent confusion.

Speaking of which... why isn’t he home yet?

Ivy mentally groaned.

Somehow, Aaron had managed to ruin her perfectly peaceful evening.

The match continued for another twenty minutes.

To Aaron’s annoyance, Ivy eventually managed to turn things around.

The final score appeared on the screen.

Victory.

For Ivy.

She immediately jumped to her feet.

"Yes!"

Aaron stared at the screen. Then at her. Then back at the screen.

"You got lucky."

My sister-in-law.
