Three Little Guardian Angels

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.
