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.

"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.
