When Ivy said her mom didn't want to, her words were loud and clear, like she was really worried Wayne wouldn't understand.
"So who's your dad?" he continued to ask.
Ivy blinked, looking pretty confused and didn't say anything.
"Your mom doesn't want you to talk about it?" Wayne patiently tried to get it out of her.
Ivy shook her head, "My family's business is something that shouldn't be told to outsiders. It's how we're raised."
Wayne thought for a moment and gave a nod, "Hmm, that's good."
"But you're not an outsider," Ivy said very seriously. "So I can whisper to you about my dad."
Wayne unconsciously clenched his hand.
He bent down and leaned close to Ivy.
Ivy whispered in his ear, "Mom said my dad went to a faraway place, he had a space mission."
Wayne was speechless.
"But I'm not that easy to fool. Cory and I both know that our dad just abandoned us, and mom didn't want to hurt us, so she lied to us."
Ivy finished and sat up straight.
When she mentioned this, her face revealed obvious sadness and anger.
Wayne's anger had reached its peak, as if it was about to explode at any minute.
But at that moment, Ivy suddenly said with a heavy heart, "Mom can fool us, but not herself, I know she's always sad."
"Sad?" Wayne's eyes gradually reddened.
He just felt like someone who was about to drown, looking to grab onto anything, anything at all, as long as it would save him.
"Yeah," Ivy looked at Wayne. "Mom has had many suitors, but she never liked anyone, not even someone as great as Noah."
"Your mom never got married?" Wayne asked in surprise.
