She parted her lips but didn’t say anything.She had noticed that the relationship between Ian and his father was interesting.

He didn’t answer but asked, "What do you think?"

"Because I know you?"

"Why else?" Elaine chuckled.

"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."
