Chapter 1491


    "Thank you for your reminder."


    After the meeting was dismissed, ine’s secretary walked up to her and asked, "Are you all right,


    Ms.Xavier?"


    ine shook her head and smiled.


    "I’m fine."


    "You seem distracted.Did you have a fight with your fiance?" asked her secretary.


    ine froze and lowered her head.


    Things would have been easier if they were only having a fight.


    She did not even know what had happened between them this time.


    Neither of them talked when Ian sent her back homest night.


    The atmosphere in the car had been awkward, and she was certain that he thought she did not


    understand him at all.

    Looking at the troubled expression on her face, her secretaryforted her.


    "Actually, both of you just need to sit down and talk everything out.If you refuse tomunicate, no


    one will know what''s on your mind."


    ine let out a bitter smile and said, "What if he gets even angrier after I tell him everything?"


    Her secretary was stunned.


    "Is your fiance such a petty-minded man? What is it about that would make him angry after you told


    him?"


    ine pressed her lips tightly and said, "It’s not his problem.M-Maybe I’m just being nosy."


    Her secretary was even more confused.


    "You''re his fiancee, so isn''t it normal that you want to know more about him? It would be abnormal if


    you didn''t care about him at all."


    ine returned to her office and massaged her temples on her chair.


    Suddenly, she chuckled at herself.


    They were just having a marriage of convenience.


    However, she was the one who fell in love with Ian.


    They had said they wouldn’t interfere with each other’s private life, but she was the one who poked her


    nose into his stuff.


    Even though Ian treated her sincerely after she inadvertently took the stab for him, at the end of the


    day, she still couldn''t rece Barbara''s position in his heart.


    Even if he felt that he owed her something, she was certain that he felt he owed Barbara even more.


    Suddenly, she received a text message from Lucy.


    [Sis, my mom told me to remind you not to forget to attend Mr.Goldmann Sr’s birthday party.]


    ‘Mr.Goldmann Srs birthday party, huh?’ ine frowned.


    ‘The Bouchers and the Goldmanns have a great rtionship.Does this mean that Barbara will b e there


    as well?’ Just as she expected, all of the Bouchers were at Nichs’ birthday party.


    The Goldmanns did not invite a lot of people, and most of them were their close friends.


    The Hannigans, the Bouchers, and the Lucases...


    Most of the prestigious families in the city hade to his birthday party.


    It was Nichs''s birthday.


    His face was full of smiles, and he was in high spirits since his son, daughter-in-w, and grandchildren


    were with him.


    "I heard that Mr.Goldmann Sr"s daughter-inw prepared the birthday party.He treats her like his own


    daughter."


    "Well, his daughter-inw has given him three grandchildren.Not only is she smart and talented, but


    Mr.Goldmann loves her to the core.Now the Goldmanns have three heirs, and you can see from the


    fact that he adores his daughter-inw when he allowed Mr.Goldmann’s daughter to carry her mother’s


    surname."


    All of the guests were envious of Maisie.


    When Maisie first married Nn, everyone in Bassburgh thought she did not deserve Nn.


    After all, most of the women who married into rich families did not lead happy lives.


    They only got married because of their family status and the benefits they would gain from the


    marriage.


    However, not only was Maisie a pretty woman, but she was also talented and had brought a lot of


    fortune to Nn.


    It went without saying that Nichs would adore her from the bottom of his heart.


    What''s more, Nn spent all his time on his wife after being married for so many years.


    He did not have any scandals with any women, nor did he make his wife worry about him.


    Not many men in Bassburgh could do that to their wives like him.


    ine followed the Xaviers and walked around.


    She looked at those couples, as well as Lucy and Hector, and a surge of sadness erupted from the


    bottom of her heart.


    Edward led them toward Nichs to give him birthday gifts.


    Nichs was happy tonight, treating all the guests with great enthusiasm.
