Chapter 560

Julia’s eyes flashed when she looked him in the eyes. “Let’s talk about this another time,” she said softly.

Julia could finally let down the weight she had been carrying now that Royden Group was saved.

“Ivan, let me take you out for a meal to express my thanks.”

Things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly if it weren’t for Ivan’s help. She also wanted an excuse not to go home as she knew Edgar and Jean would have a lot to talk about tonight.

“Sure. What do you want to eat?” He asked happily. He was fine as long as Julia stayed and did not avoid him.

“Let’s go to a bar. I wonder if that alley bar is still open,” Julia said as she stared into the distance.

Ivan immediately knew the place she was talking about. He nodded his head and said, “It is. I was there a few days ago.”

Julia’s eyes soften. “I can’t believe you remember after all these years.”

“I will never forget the things you like.”

Ivan buckled his seatbelt and drove away.

Ivan did not know Julia had another motive when she asked him for dinner. She arrived home late at night, reeking of alcohol. She thought no one was home as Jean should be at Royden Residence. She did not expect the chandelier in the living room to light up the moment she stepped into the house.

Jean was sitting on a couch. She shot Julia a fierce look and said, “Aunt Julia, tell me you didn’t stay out so late just to avoid me.”

Julia’s heart jumped, and she hastily shook her head. “Of course not, Jean. Why would I avoid you? I just ran into a few old friends, so we chatted till now.”
