Chapter 286

Have they inked the deal yet?

Are they going to split up?

Before Carlene could even lay down her terms, lan went ahead and offered to break it off with his wife.

Carlene felt like she was swimming in sweetness.

Her hand started shaking. If lan was going to divorce, the one most likely to become Mrs. Raymond

would be her, right?

“How long will it take for you guys to divorce?”

lan stared ahead, his voice flat, “Half a year at most; my grandpa hasn’t been doing so well lately.”

Carlene’s cheeks flushed, and she tried to calm herself by petting the cat.

But when the car stopped at the Shepard family’s doorstep, she couldn’t help but look back at him.

“Alright, half a year it is, lan. You’re right; even though we’re not back together yet, I’ll make sure you

know I’m the one who’s cut out to be your wife. I won’t force you, and I won’t see that woman again. I’m

sure we had our problems too. I’ll figure them out and fix them. If one day you agree to get back with

me, then we’ll tie the knot, deal?”

Her heart was racing as she finished her words; she was extremely excited.

lan, however, just stared ahead calmly.

“We’ll see when we get back together.”

“lan, I’m sorry. I was too willful before. I shouldn’t have stayed abroad to study painting, and I shouldn’t

have rejected your offer to get back together. From now on, I’ll actively pursue you, and I hope we can

get back to how we used to be.”

With that, she exited the car, looking at him through the window with eyes full of tenderness.

lan glanced at her, then gently said, “You should

get

in; it’s cold outside.”

Carlene’s heart became even sweeter and she kept looking back at him as she walked away.

lan sat in the car, feeling somewhat unwell.

He didn’t linger and managed to drive back to Rosewood Manor.

It was closer to Rosewood Manor than the hotel, and once parked, he rolled up his sleeve and saw the

rash on his arm.

He was allergic to animal fur.

Maria came out when she heard the car. She thought it was Maja coming back. When she saw lan, she

was taken aback.

She noticed the rash on lan’s arm and immediately remembered what Selena Casson had said about

him being allergic to animal fur.

Maria immediately called the private doctor.

Luckily, she just had the entire house thoroughly cleaned by the servants; otherwise, Mr. Raymond’s

allergic reaction could have been worse.

“Mr. Raymond, you better go sit down.”

lan’s allergy to animal fur was severe; he already had a noticeable rash.

He even seemed to have a fever.

Maria called the Raymond family’s private doctor, who had treated lan’s allergy before.

But she told Selena about it before the doctor arrived, so Selena quickly found out about lan’s allergy at

Rosewood Manor.

She immediately thought of the white dog at Rosewood Manor and became furious. Had Maja not

gotten rid of that dog yet?

She drove to Rosewood Manor in anger..

By the time she walked into the living room, lan was already feverish. The doctor was having him take

medicine and specifically reminded him not to eat any spicy food for the next three days.

Just then, Jeff also rushed over and helped lan up to the second floor.

lan had never been to a pet store, so this allergic reaction was especially severe.

As he approached the staircase, he vaguely heard Selena questioning Maria.,

“Has that dog not been sent away yet? Didn’t I warn Maja not to keep a dog here?”

lan’s eyebrows furrowed, but he wasn’t able to make out what they were saying due to his discomfort.

A dog?

Was there a dog at Rosewood Manor?
