"You still have to get used to our new rtionship."
ine took a deep breath and smiled at him.
"Okay, I''ll get used to it gradually."
She pushed the door open and got out of the car.
He nced at her as she stepped into the mansion and slowly raised the car window.
At this time, he received a call from his father, Juan.
At the Saldana manor...
When Ian stepped into the living room, he saw Juan sitting on the couch smoking a cigar while the
servant beside him was brewing tea.
He raised his hand, motioned him to sit, and dusted off the ash.
"Ian, I n to give you a big gift before you get married."
Ian sat on the opposite couch.
The engagement between him and ine had not been fully disclosed.
It was just an agreement between him and Edward.
Thus, Juan should not know about it.
Ian smiled.
"Then I truly look forward to what kind of gift you’ll give me."
Juan ced the cigar on the ashtray and picked up the teacup.
"The equity of thepany in Hewston, do you want it?"
Ian’s face remained unchanged.
"Is it appropriate for you to give me shares?"
"How is it inappropriate?"
Juan took a sip of tea.
"Your brother, Marco, can’t inherit it.But you’re my son too, aren’t you? I’ve ignored you throughout all
these years, and I wish to make up for you before you get married." Ian lowered his gaze.
"It’s my honor that you’re willing to promote me."
Juan did not see that Ian had any ulterior motive.He only knew that his illegitimate child had had a
difficult life.
As such, he would be extremely grateful a s long as he gave him some benefits.
"Tan, I have faith in you.I hope you won’t let me down."
"I won''t let you down, Father."
The conversation ended after a short while.
Juan asked Ian to go to Synergy tomorrow to sign the contract, and he would arrange for him to go to
Hewston to take over thepany.
Seeing that Ian agreed to the proposal without any hesitation, Juan was satisfied with the oue as
Ian bid him goodbye and left.
Ian returned to the cafe.
As soon as he entered the door, the store manager told him someone was looking for him.
His brows creased.
"Who''s that?"
The store manager nced over to a corner of the café.
"She’s there."
Ian looked at the window seat.
The woman sitting there was none other than Barbara.
Barbara had made a decision before she came to him.She felt the need to talk to him until a silhouette
sat down opposite her.She raised her head and met Ian’s profound gaze.
He asked, "How have you been doing over the years?"
She nodded.
"I’ve been doing fine."
"You''ve lost a lot of weight."
Ian rubbed the dial on his wristwatch as his eyes moved.
"Is he treating you well?"
Barbara looked out the window.
"Helios has always treated me very well.There’s no need for you to worry about me."
"Good, I’m d to hear that."
"I didn’te to you with any obvious purpose."
He responded with a soft hum.
"I know."
Barbara lowered her eyes and held the coffee cup in her hands.
"I heard that you and Ms.Xavier are engaged.I’m here to give you my sincere blessing."
Ian remained silent, and all he did was stare at her.
"I didn’t know the nature of your work before this, and I was a little angry at you for leaving me without
any goodbye.Now that I know more about it, however, I’m not as furious as I was.Not to mention that
you secretly helped me three years ago.I’m very grateful for that."
She took a deep breath and faced him calmly.
"I hope that you can live a happy life too."
A woman sitting in a car parked outside the cafe looked in the mirror to touch up her makeup while
waiting for the driver to go in and purchase her coffee.
She then saw someone and felt a little familiar, so she took a closer look.
‘Isn’t that ine’s fiance? ‘He’s sitting with a woman whose long hair covers her side profile, so I can’t
see her face clearly"
She picked up her cell phone, pointed it at the window, zoomed in, took a picture, and then found
ine on WhatsApp and sent it to her.
