Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Who are you Ivy?

By the time Ivy stepped out of the bathroom, Xander was already awake.

The moment she saw the solemn expression on his face and her phone in his hand, the corner of her mouth twitched.

"Someone wants to meet you," he said as soon as he noticed her.

Although his tone was calm, Ivy could easily hear the underlying displeasure.

Still, his gaze softened as he watched her climb back into bed and settle beside him.

Taking the phone from his hand, Ivy glanced at the screen.

Kevin.

A sigh escaped her lips.

"Should I feel threatened by this?" Xander asked, finally turning to face her fully.

His expression remained composed, but Ivy could sense the insecurity beneath it.

Xander had never considered himself a possessive man.

At least, not before Ivy.

But ever since she had entered his life, he found himself becoming wary of every man who got too close to her.

It didn’t help that Percy had informed him about Kevin visiting Lola’s apartment while Ivy and Sal had been there. Then there was Kevin’s strange statement the other day.

And now this message.

Everything felt connected.

Too connected.

Ivy looked at him before setting the phone aside on the nightstand.

"No," she said gently. "You have absolutely nothing to feel threatened about."

"But he was your crush."

Xander remembered reading it in the information Taylor had given him.

At the time, he had dismissed it as an old schoolgirl crush.

He never expected Kevin to reappear in Ivy’s life, much less become someone she worked with.

The thought of Ivy still harboring feelings for him made Xander unexpectedly territorial.

A smile tugged at Ivy’s lips.

For some reason, seeing Xander jealous was oddly amusing.

"As you said," she replied, "he *was* my crush."

The emphasis made Xander pause.

Ivy shifted closer and wrapped both hands around his arm before resting her chin on his shoulder.

"Now I only have eyes for one person."

Xander blinked.

"And who would that be?" he asked, though the hopeful look in his eyes betrayed him.

Ivy rolled her eyes.

"You."

The single word hit him harder than he expected.

Every trace of jealousy vanished instantly.

"M-Me?" he stammered.

Ivy couldn’t help laughing. "Yes, you." She squeezed his arm.

"We agreed to give this relationship a real chance. That means there isn’t room for my old crush or anyone else." Her voice was firm and sincere.

For a moment, Xander simply stared at her. Then a smile slowly appeared on his face. A genuine one, and the sight made Ivy arch an eyebrow.

"But I’m still upset with you." Immediately, the smile disappeared.

Xander frowned. "What did I do now?" His confusion was so genuine that Ivy almost laughed.

Instead, she pulled away from him and crossed her arms. The pout on her face made Xander’s heart skip a beat.

She was adorable.

And unfortunately for him, she knew it.
