“I’m twenty–seven this year,” Ivor replied.
Gerald whispered to Welma, “He’s quite a bit older than Bonnie.”
Although Ivor could not hear them, he could read their lips. He had heard about Gerald’s love for alcohol before coming. He poured a glass and handed it to Gerald, saying, “Dad, this is the wine I brought you. Give it a try.”
“Sure, don’t mind if I do.” Gerald stared at the wine and sipped it. Immediately after, his eyes lit up as he exclaimed, “Wow, it tastes fantastic!” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Ivor said smilingly, “I have a collection of exquisite liquors at home. If you like any of them, feel free to take them all with you.”
“I can’t do that.”
“It’s okay. I’m not much of a drinker myself. They’ll just sit there and gather dust if you don’t take them off my hands. Don’t be shy, Father. You can call me son once I marry your daughter. Parents shouldn’t be so shy with their children and in–laws, right?”
Gerald did not know how to respond.
Meanwhile, Bonnie watched as Ivor won over her parents. She felt amused and speechless but said nothing.
Welma asked, “Where do you work, Ivor? How big is your family?”
“Mom, we haven’t even started eating yet. Here, have some.” Bonnie scooped some dishes onto Welma’s plate.
“This young man has chased you so far, yet I can’t even ask about him? It concerns your lifelong happiness, you know?”
Ivor replied, “Well, there are four main members of my family. Also, I work for the Knight Group.”
“The Knight Group?!” Benedict bolted to his feet. “Are you referring to the city’s top company?! The wealthiest family in the city owns that company.”
Ivor nodded. “That’s the one.”
Benedict stammered in shock, “Y–Your last name is Knight, too. Wait, are you from the Knight family?!”
Welma and Gerald stopped eating and stared at Ivor.
Ivor was about to answer when Bonnie interjected, “He’s just an ordinary employee at the Knight Group.”
She lied because she feared her foster parents would worry about her. After all, she was just a country
girl in their eyes. If Ivor, the city’s richest man, pursued her just to play with her heart and abandon her, the older couple would be furious.
Ivor glanced at Bonnie and understood her reason for lying. So, he cooperated and said, “I just happen to have the same surname as them.”
Welma and Gerald sighed, somewhat relieved. The meal went by joyfully, and after sending the older couple and Benedict back to their hotel, Ivor was alone. Bonnie stayed with her parents because they would leave the next day, and she wanted to spend more time with them.
Benedict had a lot on his mind, saying, “Bonnie, I have something to ask you.”
“Go ahead.” Bonnie followed her brother outside.
As they walked on the street, Benedict suddenly stopped and said, “The interview went well today.”
Bonnie smiled. “See, I told you not to worry.”
“Mr. Hamish said he wants to mentor me personally.”
“Well, you have a natural talent for design. I’d expect Hamish to say something like that.”
“He was exceptionally kind to me and offered a high salary with many privileges.”
“That just means he values you a lot.”
“Bonnie!” Benedict exclaimed, “Don’t you have anything else to say?! I know my worth. Even if I’m somewhat talented, Mr. Hamish is the CEO of Tang Fusion Studios and one of the world’s best designers. Why would he treat me so well?”
