Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband 

Chapter 88 

8 Pearls 

Without waiting for Ethan’s reply, Ivy chimed in quickly, “Yes, sister–in–law! Brother is allergic to seafood, so we can’t let him eat it.” 

Lily’s eyes widened in alarm. “Oh no. Ethan! I’m so sorry, I didn’t know you were allergic. I just called Brother Parker and-” 

“Sister–in–law, Ivy interrupted with a smile, gently taking Lily’s hand. “The food is getting cold. Let’s start 

cating.” 

“Yes, you’re right.” Lily agreed, serving Ethan some rice noodles and vegetable soup instead of the seafood. 

Ethan turned to his sister with a sweet yet suspicious smile. “My dear little sister,” he said, his tone deceptively calm. 

“Yes, brother?” Ivy asked innocently, though her eyes gave away her mischief. 

“Where is he?” Ethan asked, raising an eyebrow. He was certain his sister had a partner–in–crime. Who else could disrupt his perfect lunch? 

Ivy gulped, feigning ignorance. “Who?” she asked, batting her eyelashes. 

“Parker, I know you’re out there. Get in here now!” Ethan called out, rolling his eyes. 

Parker, who had been lurking outside the office, flinched. Slowly, he opened the door just a crack, peeking inside with an awkward smile. “Hehe. Hello, everyone,” he said sheepishly. 

“Come here. What are you afraid of?” Ethan said, his voice calm but laced with warning. 

“Oh, nothing.” Parker replied nervously as he entered and quickly took a seat beside Ivy. “It’s just that if you’re going to kill me, can you do it after I’ve tried sister–in–law’s cooking?” 

“Traitor,” Ethan muttered, glaring at Parker. 

“Hey, how did I betray you?” Ivy protested, crossing her arms. “Brother figured it out on his own. I didn’t say your name!” 

“Not talking about that,” Parker grumbled, pointing at the seafood. “If Ethan hadn’t called me in, you would’ve eaten all the seafood by yourself.” 

“When did this become yours?” Ivy shot back. “It’s made by my sister–in–law, so it’s mine.” 

“She’s my sister–in–law too!” Parker argued. “Ivy, we had a plan. I was waiting for you to call me in.” 

“I never told you to wait outside,” Ivy said with a smirk. “You were the one shivering and crying the whole way here.” 

“Hey, I wasn’t crying!” Parker denied, flicking her forehead in annoyance. 

“You were,” Ivy teased, laughing. “Oh, Ethan is going to kill me! My dear future wife, I’m so sorry I won’t get to meet you, and so on…” 

“Ivy, stop lying! I wasn’t doing any of that,” Parker protested, though his red face betrayed him..

troublemakers First, they’d ruined his lunch date, and now they were giving him a headache with their 

endless hanter 

Just as he was about to yell at them, a sweet sound filled the room–Lily’s laughter. Ivy and Parker stopped their squabbling, turning to see Lily giggling, her face alight with amusement. 

“You two are so funny,” the said between laughs, her eyes sparkling. 

Hearing his wife’s laughter, Ethan’s irritation melted away. The frown on his face disappeared, replaced by a soft smile. Her happiness mattered more than anything, and seeing her smile was enough to calm him. 

As Lily’s laughter subsided, she looked at Ivy and Parker with newfound affection. At first, she had been confused by their antics, but now she realized the phone call earlier had been Ivy’s doing. A small pang of jealousy had lingered when she thought about Ethan’s close bond with his sister, but seeing their camaraderie now, she couldn’t help but feel warmed by it. 

Suddenly, a thought struck Lily, and she turned to Ivy with a curious expression. “Ivy, if you knew Erhan was allergic to seafood, why did you ask me to cook it for him?” she questioned. 

Ivy’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she offered a sheepish smile, “Well, sister–in–law… it’s all brother’s fault! He told me not to meet you, so I had to come up with a plan.” 

you decided to sabotage my lunch date?” Ethan’s tone was sharp as he glared at his sister. 

“Oh, come on, brother,” Ivy replied, waving her hand dismissively. “Don’t be like that. I just wanted to meet my sister–in–law. Every time I tried before, your bodyguards stopped me. When I finally got the chance, I 

took it.” 

Lily’s eyebrows shot up in surprise as she looked at Ethan. “You instructed your bodyguards to keep her from meeting me?” she asked. 

Ethan gave her a small, guilty smile as he gently poked her cheek. “Well, someone did tell me to keep our marriage a secret…” 

“Alright,” Lily said with a blush, letting the matter go. She then glanced at the table. “Anyway, the food is getting cold.” 

What had initially been planned as an intimate lunch for two quickly turned into a lively gathering of four. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Lily found herself enjoying the lunch immensely. She and Ivy connected instantly, and their conversation flowed effortlessly as they got to know each other. 

After finishing their meal, the group moved to the couch, where the lively chatter continued. Ivy and Parker spent most of the time teasing and bantering, but whenever an anecdote about Ethan’s childhood came up, they quickly joined forces to share the most embarrassing stories. 

Lily listened intently, a soft smile gracing her lips as she learned more about Ethan’s past. Their playful tales painted a picture of a close–knit bond, and for a moment, she felt a twinge of longing. In her previous life, she had never experienced this kind of familial warmth. She had always been excluded, working tirelessly for a family that never cared for her.
