Chapter 193
They headed to a Thai restaurant which didn’t have a lot of customers even during lunch time after
paying for the ring. Ian seemed to be a regr, as he would exin the dishes that Sophia didn’t know
to her when they were ordering their meal.
A smile bloomed on Sophia’s face. “You had always lived away from home, so do festive asions
bring about unpleasant feelings?”
There was a pause on Ian’s part before he went on, “It’s alright. I used to live with my family, which
wasn’t the best of experiences, so I left. Although life after breaking away from them was a little lonely, I
had a lot more freedompared to when I was with them.”
Sophia seemed to think of something as she tilted her head while looking at Ian. “Have you never
thought of finding yourself a girlfriend throughout your life? Having someone by your side would make
things easier.”
Ian stared at her for a few seconds before averting his gaze. “I gave up on the idea after giving it some

thought.” Finding himself a girlfriend wasn’t something he could do willy-nilly due to his own concerns.
Two peopleing together meant the merging of both their futures, so he would one day have to tell
his other half about his past, which was something that intimidated him.
His identity wasn’t only something that he was never able to escape; it was also the source of his
misery while living with the Morgan Family. It was thus he decided that he need not drag someone else
into the pithole he was in just because he was feeling lonely. However, he could tell none of those to
Sophia.
Upon observing him closely, Sophia chuckled. “You are good-looking and have a nice voice, so a lot of
girls must like you.” She wasparing him to John, who managed to attract a woman of Isabelle’s
calibre—who sought him out despite the fact that he was married—by utilizing his looks alone, so she
figured someone like Ian had to be able to attract even more women.
Ian chuckled by way of a response. “That’s not how it works, as most women have a practical mindset.”
He didn’t have a ce to call his own, nor did he have a high-paying job. Both factors were of no help
in terms of providing a sense of security, which was why not a lot of women liked him.
Even if there were, those women tend to be younger and less experienced in terms of worldly matters,
whom Ian wouldn’t be interested in, as dating those women tend to make him feel as if he was ying
with children.
After the waiter served their meal, Sophia switched the topic while holding a spoon. She opted to talk
about matters regarding his work, to which he told her he was still getting used to it, as he literally knew
nothing about the job. Despite his title as the vice president, he was extremely humble, while Mr.
Zimmel was pleasant enough to teach him about the smallest of things.
“Do the rest of the employees know of your background?” Sophia was blinking as she spoke.
After mulling over the situation, Ian replied, “They might not know much about it. I think they assume
that Sean and I share the same mother.” Not a lot of people would imagine that Bryce managed to
hook up with a third woman between his marriage with his two wives, who bore him another son.
What he said lifted some of her worries. “The presence of Sean might make your life easier. How is
Sean’s rtionship with Sally and Simon anyway? I bet they don’t have the best rtionship.” Sophia
was curious about the subject.
Aughter escaped him as soon as he heard the question, as both Sally and Simon were afraid of
Sean. Rumor had it that their mother, Leah Zimmerman, made use of unscrupulous means in her
attempt to be Old Mr. Morgan’s wife, which infuriated the old man, while Sean knew the details of
it.
That was the reason why Sally and Simon constantly felt ashamed while in the face of Sean, as if they
were confronted about their wrongdoings. Besides, after a few days’ observation, Ian gathered that
even Leah wasn’t able to assert herself over Sean, as Sean’s status was almost on par with Bryce, or
Old Mr. Morgan himself within the family.
