Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Raven is alive

Everyone soon settled into their seats, enjoying breakfast in relative peace.

Leo was the first to finish and dash off, leaving behind the three adults. Xander, Aaron, and Ivy continued eating, though "peaceful" was slowly becoming an optimistic word.

"Oh, I finished my sandwich," Aaron announced dramatically, as if he had just accomplished something worthy of applause.

Then he turned to Ivy with a bright smile.

"Can you pass me that plate?"

Everyone at the table knew that smile was not friendly. It was the kind of smile that came with trouble... and a little bit of evil sprinkled on top.

Ivy met his gaze with a deadly glare.

Is there any way I can wipe that smile off his face? He’s clearly enjoying this way too much.

Still, she forced a polite smile and passed him the plate.

Aaron casually picked a sandwich and placed it on his plate, looking entirely too pleased with himself.

"Oh wait," he said, as if struck by another brilliant idea. "I also finished my juice. Can you fill it for me?"

He tapped the rim of his empty glass for emphasis, like a king issuing royal orders.

Before Ivy could respond, Butler Rupert stepped forward. "I will serve it for you, Second Young—"

"No need, Butler Rupert," Aaron interrupted smoothly. "I’m sure your madam won’t mind helping me."

That same polite smile remained on his face, but his eyes clearly said, I’m doing this on purpose.

Ivy’s expression darkened by a few shades.

Hehe... are you annoyed yet? Good. Because I’m just getting started.

Aaron had already made up his mind. In his head, he was on a noble mission to "save" Leo and Xander from Ivy. And the best way to do that, apparently, was to irritate her until she packed her bags and left voluntarily.

Butler Rupert hesitated, looking at Ivy with concern.

"It’s okay, Butler Rupert. I can manage," Ivy said with a reassuring smile that did not quite reach her eyes.

The old man sighed internally. When he glanced at Xander, who had been silently eating as if none of this chaos concerned him, he wondered if his master was choosing peace... or simply enjoying the show.

"See? I told you," Aaron continued cheerfully. "Your madam is very kind-hearted."

Then, as if remembering something important, he snapped his fingers lightly. "Ah, your gift. Here it is."

A servant stepped forward immediately.

"I got you a new pair of glasses," Aaron said, handing over a box. "Try them and tell me if you like them."

Butler Rupert opened it, carefully putting them on. The change was instant. He looked... upgraded.

"T-Thank you, Second Young Master," he said, visibly delighted.

"Distribute the rest of the gifts to the staff," Aaron instructed the servant, who nodded and left.

After finishing his meal, Aaron checked his watch and stood up.

"I’ll take my leave now," he said casually. Then, pausing, he added, "And yes, don’t come to pick Leo. I’ll bring him home today."

And just like that, he walked away, leaving behind a storm in human form.

Ivy’s grip on her fork tightened dangerously.

She exhaled sharply, blowing a strand of hair off her face as she looked away.

She had no idea how long she could tolerate Aaron’s antics, but one thing was certain—if he kept this up, her patience would not just wear thin... it would vanish entirely.

I need to do something before things spiral out of control.

Ivy knew herself well enough. If pushed too far, she might end up using her strength to deal with Aaron.

And while that was tempting... very tempting...

This time, she decided she would win differently.

Not with force.

But with strategy.

And when she did, she was going to wipe that annoying smile off his face permanently.
