Chapter 196 – Recognizing Your Heart

Book:Seize His Little Wife Published:2024-6-3

Ives Norton took a step back and leaned against the wall and lazily returned, “You once said that you and Christine White are people from two worlds, she is not the person you have in mind for a wife, and she is also not up to the standard that meets your eyes, so you have never treated her particularly well, but you have been unknowingly moved by her, and so you have in your heart subconsciously refused to recognize this fact.”
“Ridiculous.” Baird Lane snorted dismissively, “You keep insisting that I’m in love with Christine White, what about Molly? Did I put down Molly?”
Ives Norton raised an eyebrow, “Haven’t you realized yet? You’re not in love with Molly Bort anymore, you’re really only being nice to her because you care about her, but caring isn’t necessarily love, anyway, I’ve observed the way you’ve looked at Molly Bort a few times, and there really isn’t a trace of love left.”
Baird Lane is unfazed, “Even if I had no more feelings for Molly, I wouldn’t believe I was in love with Christine White.”
“You’re really not dying.” Ives Norton shook his head helplessly and smiled, then pulled his cell phone out of his white coat and
“What are you doing?” Baird Lane looked at him coldly.
He didn’t answer, his full attention on his cell phone.
He unlocked his phone, then after a few clicks on it, reached out to Baird Lane.
“Just listen.” Ives Norton said.
Baird Lane glanced at the recording playback screen of his cell phone, his brow knit tightly, “I’d like to see what you’re up to.”
“You’ll find out soon enough, now stop talking and listen carefully!” Ives Norton pointed to the cell phone.
Baird Lane pursed his lips and stopped talking.
At that moment, a hoarse and weak voice suddenly rang out from the cell phone, “Christine White….. . Christine White…”
Baird Lane blanched slightly at the sound.
Because the voice was too familiar to him.
It’s his own voice.
“How do you …”
“How did this recording come about right?” Ives Norton waved his cell phone.
Baird Lane by default.
Ives Norton laughed a little, “Of course I recorded it myself, it’s what you were yelling in the emergency room, when you weren’t awake, but your mouth was screaming Christine White’s name, so I recorded it, why do you think you were screaming her name?”
Baird Lane’s eyes flashed a few times, “I didn’t know that was happening.”
“As I just said, you’re not even awake, so how could you possibly know, but that’s the truth, they say that when you’re drunk, you’re drunk and passed out, instead of calling out for Molly Bort, you called out for Christine White, which is a good indication that Christine White has taken over your heart.” Ives Norton put away his cell phone and said in a serious tone.
Baird Lane bit down on the back seat of his teeth and didn’t answer.
Ives Norton looked at him and continued to speak again, “I’ve asked you before if you’ve got the hots for Christine White, and at that time I was just skeptical, I wasn’t sure yet, but now, I’m really sure, you are indeed in love with him, Baird, face the facts.”
Baird Lane got a little lump in his throat, “You’re asking me to admit that I love her?”
“Yes.” Ives Norton nodded.
Baird Lane let out a soft huff and stopped talking again.
Was he really in love with Christine White? He doesn’t know, all he knows is that Ives Norton asks a lot of questions that go right to his heart.
He couldn’t answer those questions, but the answers to the questions were always in his mind, and it was true that he didn’t want to get a divorce, and he couldn’t accept that there was another man chasing after her, and he didn’t want to accept the result that she suddenly didn’t love him anymore one day.
Anyway, just thinking about it, a hostile energy could not help but rise up in his heart, just wanting to destroy everything.
Is he really in the situation he’s in because of love, as Ives Norton says?
Ives Norton watched Baird Lane in his musings and, without meaning to disturb him, left the ward quietly after a wink to Aunt Lucy.
In the hallway, Aunt Lucy closed the door gently behind her, “Dr. Norton, is it true what you say? Is it true that Mr. has made a move on Mrs.?”
“It’s true, he just doesn’t want to admit it to himself that he’s actually been in love with Christine White for a long time.” Ives Norton returned.
Aunt Lucy was shocked and happy, “That’s really great, as long as mister can look into his heart earlier and recognize his true feelings for his wife, he can get his wife back, but Dr. Norton, how come you suddenly woke up mister, aren’t you also interested in your wife …?”
Before the words were finished, Ives Norton interrupted her with a raised hand, “I just want her to be happy, and for her, her happiness is Baird.”
“Dr. Norton, you are so … generous.” Aunt Lucy struggled to find an adjective to praise him.
A glint of divinity darted under Ives Norton’s eyes, “Generous? Maybe.”
In fact, he was really going to pursue Christine White after her divorce.
But such thoughts were put to rest when he saw Baird Lane like that in the emergency room.
At the thought, Ives Norton tickled the corners of his mouth in self-deprecation, “Aunt Lucy, give me Christine’s number.”
“This …” Aunt Lucy was a little embarrassed.
Ives Norton added, “Don’t worry, she won’t blame you… Besides, I’m a doctor and she’s not well… so I can keep tabs on the situation in case something happens.”
Aunt Lucy was so impressed by his words that she gave him Christine White’s phone number right away.
He saved it in his cell phone and called Christine White.
Christine White looked at the number that looked familiar but couldn’t remember who it was, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she answered it, “Who is it?”
“That’s sad, you can’t even remember my phone number.” Ives Norton said with feigned sadness.
Christine White froze and blinked, “Ives?”
“So you haven’t forgotten me.” Ives Norton laughed.
Christine White smiled along, “No, but how did you get my number?”
“I asked Aunt Lucy for it.” Ives Norton returned.
Christine White nodded indistinctly, “So, what did you want to see me about?”
“It’s nothing much, just wanted to ask you why you left The Lane Family without telling me.” Ives Norton grumbled a little.
Christine White lowered her eyes, “I’m sorry, I left in such a hurry that I didn’t let you know.”
“Oh, and I don’t blame you, where are you now?” Ives Norton asked.
Christine White looked at the small, somewhat dilapidated building in front of her, “I’m going back to my own house.”
For her, The White Family is not her home.
The Lane Family is no longer her home either, her home is just this little house.
“It’s good to be back in your own home, Baird hasn’t been able to find you for the last two days, I thought you were missing.” Ives Norton laughed softly.
Christine White tugged at the corner of her mouth, “Ives, tell him for me to get off my back.”
“It’s no use me talking about it.” Ives Norton shrugged his shoulders, “He won’t listen, and he’ll probably go after you himself later.”
“How?” Christine White was startled for a moment.
Ives Norton took off his glasses and looked at the ground with bleary eyes, “Because I said something about how he’ll definitely go back to you when he’s thought it all through and realized what’s in his heart.”
“Wait.” Christine White cocked her head in bewilderment, “Why am I a little confused, what do you mean he understood his heart?”
“Of course he understood the love for you.” Ives Norton whispered back.
Christine White was stunned in place by his statement and it took her a while to slow down, “What do you mean? He loves me?”
“Yes!”
“That’s impossible, the person he loves is obviously Molly Bort, how could it be me, you’re lying to me, deliberately trying to cheer me up right?” Christine White gripped her cell phone tightly, her voice was a little panicked.
Ives Norton couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh bitterly, “I’m not lying to you, I’m telling the truth.”
These two people, ah, they are really worthy of being husband and wife, and in a way they are also quite in tune with each other.
It’s kinda funny how you obviously love each other, but neither side knows it.
“No it can’t be, it’s not true, I’m not the one Baird Lane loves!” Christine White suddenly yelled, becoming even more emotional.
Ives Norton’s heart tightened as he heard that something was wrong with her, and he looked solemn as he inquired, “Christine, what’s wrong with you?”
