Charming Mommy of adorable triplets

Elaine had her hand on the side of her forehead.“Isn’t he your father?”Ian’s face tensed. “He has never treated me as his son.”She parted her lips but didn’t say anything.She had noticed that the relationship between Ian and his father was interesting.Rather than father and son, they were pretty alert around each other.She turned to look at him.“Why did he ask to speak to me?”He didn’t answer but asked, “What do you think?”“Because I know you?”“Why else?” Elaine chuckled.“Then why did you tell him that we’re getting married? Wouldn’t he take the chance t o ask me for drinks then?”“He wouldn’t.”Ian was certain about his answer, and that surprised Elaine.“What do you mean?”“Because he thinks that it wouldn’t be worth his time.”Elaine looked at him.“You know him very well.”Ian stopped his car at the red light and looked at her.“It’s not always a good thing when I know someone very well.”She paused and didn’t answer.Ian was undercover once, so he had to know who was going against him before he went under.His cover would have been blown if he didn’t take time to know who he was up against.One needed to know their enemies well enough to have the upper hand.Some people thought that they were better than everyone, were arrogant, and thought they deserved what they had, so they looked down on others.People like these wouldn’t be good leaders.They would just b e empty cans.The light turned green, and he continued driving.Elaine stayed quiet for a long while.“You’re not important to him because you’re just an illegitimate son, right?”“He wouldn’t waste his time on an illegitimate son, especially when he thinks that the women I dated weren’t presentable.He wouldn’t be ashamed of that either.” Juan had never announced who Ian was, so it didn’t matter who he married because it wouldn’t be related to the Saldanas.He just needed this son to do what needed to be done, which was why it had taken him so long to search for him.After enjoying the benefits and lying low overseas, the purpose of the illegitimate son would come to light.Elaine pressed her lips together.All she heard was ‘all the women he dated’.“Have you dated a lot of women?”The car stopped outside the gates of the Xavier mansion.He pulled the handbrake and turned to look at her.“On the surface, yes.”“You asked them for a marriage of convenience as well?”“No.”She was curious, “What then?”He calmly said, “Because my job required that.”He put his arm on her backrest and leaned forward.“Do you mind?”Elaine paused, then snapped back, looked away, and smiled, “This is just a formality, so I wouldn’t mind.”He lowered the car window and let the cool breeze blow at his collar.He turned off the headlights and sat there in the dimly lit night.It was quiet in the car, and the sexual tension of two single people sitting there together would have devoured everything.However, he never thought about it that way.Elaine broke the silence.‘‘Have you spoken to my father?” He nodded.“I did.”“And?”“He didn’t object.”Elaine was a little surprised.“What did you speak to him about?” Ian smiled.“It’s a secret.”“Tsk, you have a secret together?”She opened the door and stepped out.“I’m going in.Drive safely.”
