Chapter 470 - Curiosity Kills
Chapter 470 – Curiosity Kills
Noah and Joshua observed how Aria and Ivy threw Amber out of the ward in shock. They could not mask their surprise by the way they had dealt with the disgusting woman, who had lost all her morales. Just her mere presence was suffocating them, especially Joshua, who did not want to be bothered with her. And he had the urge to puke whenever she had addressed him as her boyfriend.
Joshua was not her boyfriend and never was. It was all a delusion he had been in after falling for Amber's schemes. He was just a use-and-throw boyfriend for her, and he realized it only after he met Ivy. Amber had never cherished him how Ivy did. She had never cared once for him. Heck! She had never even bothered to be by his side when he had fallen sick.
Joshua realized the harsh truth late. But he was happy that he did. Otherwise, he would still be stuck up in the past even though he was with Ivy. "Wasn't Ivy sexy right now?" He commented, his eyes fixed on her. "It was so hot to see her argue with Amber. I loved every word of hers."
"She sure was excellent. But I think Aria was better." Noah could not move his mind away from the words Aria had told Amber before Ivy took over. Both the sisters had dealt with such finesse that the men could not help but love them more.
"We are blessed to have them in our life," Joshua added, gazing at Ivy with love. "I am falling in love with her all over again."
"You are right. I still don't know what I did to deserve Aria." Noah added with a warm smile. "I could not love her more even if I want to."
"Joshua is my man, mine. Period. I will never allow anyone to come in between us." Joshua's brows raised at her words. He had never seen such a side of hers, and he could not deny he was loving every second of it. Possessive Ivy was the best Ivy, and he wanted to hear more of such words from her. Unlike before when Aria had kept her voice low, Ivy did not even bother about it. So, he could hear every word clearly.
"Bitch, Joshua was my boyfriend and will always be. Now get out of my way. My boyfriend is waiting for me." Amber tried to push Ivy, who was blocking her exit. But Ivy defended herself quickly, making the woman stagger on her heels. Amber held the door to support herself. Otherwise, her butt would have kissed the ground, and from the force of it, she was sure it would have been painful.
"How dare you push me!!" Amber seethed, clenching her fists.
"Oh my!! Did I? I am not sorry then." Ivy's come back was strong, and both Joshua and Noah were amused by her, let alone the guards who had not stopped laughing since the time the hateful woman had made an appearance.
"You..you.." Amber did not have any idea how to retaliate. The woman before her was too smart for her to deal with. "I will complain to Joshua."
"Sure, go ahead. As if he will listen to you." Ivy scoffed. Without waiting for Amber's reply, she slammed the door on her face. 'How annoying!!' She took a deep breath to calm her fury before she turned to face the two men. "Yes, where were we before awful woman disturbed us?" A relieved smile replaced her furious face, discarding all the anger she had in her.
Her swift change in personality stunned the two men, and they gaped at her, unable to comprehend how she was able to do it this quickly. Aria just chuckled seeing their surprised faces. She had been long accustomed to her sister's antics.
"Ivy, did I tell you how sexy you were just now?" Joshua uttered, unable to take his eyes off her.
"Aren't I? I know I am charming." Ivy flicked her hair, and Aria shook her head in helplessness.
"Noah, it's best we leave from her. Otherwise, these two will drown us in their sweetness." She picked up her bag.
"Correct. It is our retribution for acting all lovey-dovey in front of me when Joshua was unconscious. It's your turn to experience misery." Ivy stuck out her tongue in playfulness.
"I would have stayed back to show you how sweet we could be with each other. But I have other plans. You see, I need to celebrate my man's birthday. So, I'll get going."
"What?" Joshua was stunned to hear her. "Is it Noah's birthday already?"
"What do you think?" Noah raised an eyebrow at him.
"Damn it!! I had a gift to give you which you could use on your birthday. I am sure you would have loved it. Never mind. I will give it to you once I get discharged. You can use it some other time. It has lifetime validity." Joshua winked at him, and from his words, Noah could more or less guess what his gift might be. He glared at him, though he was secretly delighted from within.
Though his face said nothing, Aria could sense the excitement from him. She could not help but wonder about the gift Joshua was talking about. But before she could ask the man about his gift, Noha ushered her towards the door.
"Be careful. Amber might still be outside." Ivy voiced out, taking her seat beside Joshua, who welcomed her with glee. And just as she had claimed, Amber was right outside the ward.
"Haven't you gone yet?" Aria frowned, loathing the woman for her brazen behavior.
"Why will I leave? It is you people who must leave." Amber spat.
Noah was done entertaining the woman. He sighed lightly before he pulled out his phone and texted Ian about the problem. Within minutes, two guards arrived, and they stood in front of Amber. "Excuse me, Miss. You will have to leave the hospital right away." They stated politely.
"Why should I? I am here to meet a patient. You cannot ask me to go." Amber argued, glaring at Aria.
"You are disturbing the atmosphere of the place. The patient in this ward has complained to the authorities, and if you will not leave on your own accord, we will have to force you to." The two hospital guards closed in on her, making her take a step back.
"You…you… you cannot force me." Amber stuttered, clutching her purse in fear.
"We will not if you leave on your own, Miss. The choice is yours."
Amber glowered at the couple who had shown no mercy on her before she stomped on her foot and walked away.
"Thank you for your help." Aria thanked the two guards, who nodded at her.
"She is so annoying," Aria mumbled, closing the door after her once Noah and she was out of the ward. "I wonder how Joshua put up with her when he was with her."
"Forget about her. She is not worth our time." Noah held Aria's hand and clasped his fingers with hers. "Joshua has moved on, and he has found the best girl he ever could. Let's focus on us. What are you planning to do today? Where is my gift?" Immediately, Aria's bra popped up in his mind, and he could not control his excitement.
"That, my dear, is a surprise. We have to be somewhere soon. Let's leave before it's too late." Aria did not hint at what she had planned for him, keeping Noah in the dark. And all Noah could do was pout, the curiosity killing him.
