    “I’m twenty–seven this year,” Ivor replied.


    Gerald whispered to Welma, “He’s quite a bit older than Bonnie.”


    Although Ivor could not hear them, he could read their lips. He had heard about Gerald’s love for


    alcohol beforeing. He poured a ss and handed it to Gerald, saying, “Dad, this is the wine I


    brought you. Give it a try.”


    “Sure, don’t mind if I do.” Gerald stared at the wine and sipped it. Immediately after, his eyes lit up


    as he eximed, “Wow, it tastes fantastic!”


    Ivor said smilingly, “I have a collection of exquisite liquors at home. If you like any of them, feel free


    to take them all with you.”


    “I can’t do that.”


    “It’s okay. I’m not much of a drinker myself. They’ll just sit there and gather dust if you don’t take


    them off my hands. Don’t be shy, Father. You can call me son once I marry your daughter. Parents


    shouldn’t be so shy with their children and inws, right?”


    Gerald did not know how to respond.


    Meanwhile, Bonnie watched as Ivor won over her parents. She felt amused and speechless but said


    nothing.


    Welma asked, “Where do you work, Ivor? How big is your family?”


    “Mom, we haven’t even started eating yet. Here, have some.” Bonnie scooped some dishes onto


    Welma’s te.


    “This young man has chased you so far, yet I can’t even ask about him? It concerns your lifelong


    happiness, you know?”


    Ivor replied, “Well, there are four main members of my family. Also, I work for the Knight Group.”


    “The Knight Group?!” Benedict bolted to his feet. “Are you referring to the city’s toppany?! The


    wealthiest family in the city owns thatpany.”


    Ivor nodded. “That’s the one.”


    Benedict stammered in shock, “Y–Yourst name is Knight, too. Wait, are you from the Knight


    family?!”


    Welma and Gerald stopped eating and stared at Ivor.


    Ivor was about to answer when Bonnie interjected, “He’s just an ordinary employee at the Knight


    Group.”


    She lied because she feared her foster parents would worry about her. After all, she was just a


    country


    girl in their eyes. If Ivor, the city’s richest man, pursued her just to y with her heart and abandon


    her, the older couple would be furious.


    Ivor nced at Bonnie and understood her reason for lying. So, he cooperated and said, “I just


    happen to have the same surname as them.”


    Welma and Gerald sighed, somewhat relieved. The meal went by joyfully, and after sending the


    older couple and Benedict back to their hotel, Ivor was alone. Bonnie stayed with her parents


    because they would leave the next day, and she wanted to spend more time with them.

    Benedict had a lot on his mind, saying, “Bonnie, I have something to ask you.”


    “Go ahead.” Bonnie followed her brother outside.


    As they walked on the street, Benedict suddenly stopped and said, “The interview went well today.”


    Bonnie smiled. “See, I told you not to worry.”


    “Mr. Hamish said he wants to mentor me personally.”


    “Well, you have a natural talent for design. I’d expect Hamish to say something like that.”


    “He was exceptionally kind to me and offered a high sry with many privileges.”


    “That just means he values you a lot.”


    “Bonnie!” Benedict eximed, “Don’t you have anything else to say?! I know my worth. Even if I’m


    somewhat talented, Mr. Hamish is the CEO of Tang Fusion Studios and one of the world’s best


    designers. Why would he treat me so well?”
