Chapter 1812


    “Ah, Ian! Wee back! You''re just in time for lunch! Go wash your hands and have a seat!” Susan


    greeted him with a surprised smile when she came out of the kitchen with the food.


    Huh? Is she not mad at me?


    Ian thought to himself in confusion while staring long and hard at her.


    Not only was she not angry at him in the slightest, but she also had her usual warm and caring look on


    her face.


    Feeling a little relieved, Ian replied with a nod, “Okay.”


    He then put his bag down and went to wash his hands in the bathroom.


    The atmosphere in the house returned to normal that day, and the three of them headed out together


    when the rain stoppedter that afternoon. Because Timothy was in a hurry to attend apetition,


    Susan drove Ian to university using her moped instead.


    “Ian, did your father say anything about the project you''re in charge of? Is he satisfied with your


    performance?” she asked along the way.


    Having gotten used to riding around on mopeds, Ian was casually reading through an electronic book


    while seated behind her.


    “He didn''t ask.”


    “What? He didn''t ask? Why not? Was he unsatisfied with your performance?”


    Susan grew anxious when she heard that. She even slowed down a little just so she could hear him


    clearly.


    Ian looked up at her when he noticed the sudden decrease in speed.


    “The fact that he didn''t ask me about it could also indicate something else.”


    “What would that be?”


    “That he doesn''t need to worry about it at all!” Ian replied confidently.


    Oh, wow... Okay... You know what? Screw it, I''m not going to ask any further!


    Susan thought to himself as she continued the journey to the university in silence.


    “Susan, Ian, nice to see you two back on campus again! I heard you guys took the day off and went


    home yesterday. What happened? Is everything all right?” Zaylynn eximed in surprise the moment she


    saw them.


    Susan simply shed her a smile and brought the moped to a halt so Ian could get off.


    “You head on over to your ssroom, Ian. I''ll be in the Faculty of Business Administration. Give me a call


    if Timothy isn''t able to pick you up when your ss is over, and I''lle right over.”


    “Okay.” Ian nodded obediently.


    Zaylynn, on the other hand, started yapping the moment Susan left.


    “Why does it have to be her that picks you up, Ian? I have a car, so I can send you home too! It''s way


    morefortable than a moped! Ian? Hey, Ian! Wait, don''t go!”


    Zaylynn stomped her feet in anger when she saw Ian carry on walking like she didn''t exist.


    She then followed closely behind him until they arrived at the Faculty of Finance. Suddenly, the two of


    them happened to bump into Yasmin and Jacques.


    “Ah, Ian! You''re back!” Jacques called out to him worriedly upon seeing him.


    Not wanting to be rude to him, Ian stopped in his tracks and said, “Yeah.”


    “Is everything all right at home? You left in such a hurry that Yasmin had to take care of your leave


    application!” Jacques shot Yasmin a nce as he asked.


    A faint blush could be seen on Yasmin''s pretty, fair face when she heard that.


    “Oh, it''s nothing worth mentioning! I—”


    “Anything else I need to know? If not, I''ll be on my way to ss now,” Ian cut her off coldly, much to


    Yasmin and Jacques'' surprise.


    Neither of them was expecting for Ian to be so cold toward them.


    Even Zaylynn was so shocked that she only snapped out of her daze when Ian entered the ssroom.


    “Hey, Ian! Wait for me! Ian!” she shouted while running after him.

    Yasmin''s face was red with anger and embarrassment, and her knuckles turned white from how tightly


    she clutched her books.


    “Um, Yasmin... Please don''t take it personally. I heard Ian is just cold and aloof like that. He''s not good at


    socializing with people, so we need to be more patient with him,” Jacques advised her when he noticed


    her response, but she didn''t seem to hear him at all.


    Momentster, she just turned around and walked off without saying a word.


    D*mn, that''s way scarier than hershing out angrily!


    Jacques thought to himself as he watched her leave.


    Ian found the ss to be quite all right, but it would be so much better if Zaylynn didn''t pester him


    incessantly.


    “Ian, look! I''ve made the notes for the sses that you missed! It''s all here!” she said while handing him


    the notes that she had prepared throughout the past two days.


    It was her first time ever doing such a thing.


    Being quite thezy student, the fact that she even prepared her own notes was a miracle in itself.
