Chapter 709

The hot cocoa was ready.

When the servant brought it to the door, Cyril saw it and gestured for Emmanuel to bring it in.

Emmanuel didn’t really want to move.

lan never drank this. Ian rarely even ate chocolate. How could he drink.

hot cocoa?

It was a waste of effort.

Seeing that Emmanuel did not move, Cyril frowned and went outside to bring the hot cocoa in.

Kelly noticed it immediately and waved at him. “Bring it over.”

“lan, quickly drink this to dispel the cold.” Kelly brought the hot cocoa to Ian’s mouth.

Ian frowned. This brown water looked poisonous.

He didn’t really want to drink it.

However, Kelly was concerned about him. If he didn’t drink it, Kelly would probably be sad.

For a moment, Ian seemed to be in a dilemma. Because he was in a bad mood, his thin lips were tightly pursed.

When Emmanuel saw this scene, he could not help but say coldly, “Madam, please don’t force Ian. He won’t drink it.”

Ian wasn’t picky about his diet. Regardless of whether it was sour, sweet, bitter, or spicy, he could eat anything. However, Ian valued the appearance of his food very much. He liked simple and convenient things.

For example, bread, sandwiches, and baguettes.

But things like soup were out of the question.

Ian hated to drink soup, especially soup that seemed to be poisonous.

As soon as Emmanuel finished speaking, Ian picked up the cup and placed. it next to his mouth. He was still a little hesitant, but he did not refuse. He closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp.

Emmanuel was stunned for a long time.

Cyril also stared blankly at the empty cup in Ian’s hand.

He had a deeper understanding of lan. He had suffered a lot when he was young. Those half-brothers not only bullied him but also secretly drugged him.

If Joshua had not arranged for the doctor to protect him, Ian would have died countless times.

He had a shadow over chocolate.

Everyone around Ian knew about this. It had been so many years, but Ian had never taken a single piece of chocolate.

Now, he drank hot cocoa for Kelly.

At this moment, Cyril deeply understood Kelly’s position in Ian’s heart.

Ian finished the cup of hot cocoa in one go. He even turned the cup upside down, indicating that it was empty.

Kelly’s eyes widened. “Wow, You’re amazing. You drank it all in one go.”

Ian said proudly, “It was you who asked me to drink it, so I definitely have to.”

With his proud and confident look, Ian was like a big dog waiting to be praised by its master.

Kelly could not help but touch the top of his head. “Good boy.”

She praised him for being obedient again!

Ian’s eyes flickered. His eyes were filled with joy, excitement, and embarrassment.

After coaxing lam to drink hot cocoa, Kelly changed her clothes and prepared to go to the ancient residence.

lan followed closely behind. “Should I go with you?”

No way!

Kelly frowned. She did not really want lan to go over. This guy followed. her wherever she went, making her lose her freedom.

After thinking for a while, she said, “It’s already so late. Don’t torture yourself. You were freezing for a long time just now. It’ll be bad if you catch a cold. Go to bed early and rest. I’ll call you tomorrow.”

Ian’s heart warmed.

Kelly was always so concerned about him and thought about ev for him.

“Kelly, it’s okay. I’m in good health. I won’t get sick.” Ian came over an held Kelly’s hand. “I’ll go with you.”

Kelly was speechless.

She really didn’t want him to follow her.

It was already so late. She still had to explain her relationship with lan to her grandfather and the others at the ancient residence. According to her grandfather’s respectful attitude, he would definitely overeact and tidy up a room for lan.

In this way, she wouldn’t be able to sleep for the entire night.

However, looking at Ian’s sparkling eyes, Kelly could not tell the truth. She could only sigh and say, “lan, don’t make me worry, okay?”

Ian’s eyes were moist.

He was touched.

Why was Kelly so good? Why was she so concerned about him?

What right did he have to be with such a good person like Kelly?

In order not to worry Kelly, Ian nodded. “Rest assured. I won’t go with you.”

Kelly’s shoulders went limp and he heaved a long sigh of relief.

She looked down at the time. It was almost 11 o’clock. She had to leave quickly.

As soon as Kelly’s car left, Ian immediately got into a car and followed.

Cyril did not understand. “Ian, why don’t you leave with her?”

Ian shook his head with an affectionate gaze. “Kelly cares about me and hopes that I can rest early. I can’t disappoint her.”

“Since you can’t disappoint her, why don’t you rest early?” Emman could not understand at all.

Ian lowered his eyes. “I know that Kelly cares about me, but I also care about her. It’s so late. I’m worried about her going over alone.”

Cyril and Emmanuel were speechless.

I really don’t understand you two!

The Collins house was brightly lit as if it was daytime. Kelly was invited over by a servant as soon as she arrived.

The hall was filled with people. Everyone from Collins family had arrived, including the elders and juniors.

Kelly was shocked. What exactly happened? Why was there such a huge commotion?

“Grandpa.” Kelly did not understand.

Dylan suppressed the anger in his heart and his eyes darkened. “Kelly, I heard that you’re married?”

“Yes.” Kelly nodded. “I was just about to tell everyone that he will be visiting in the next two days.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Millie said sternly, “Kelly, it’s fine if you.

want to die, but don’t implicate us!”

Penelope also had a cold expression. “You clearly know that Ian likes you and is interested in you. It’s fine if you hide from him and pretend your don’t know, but how can you marry a nobody? If lan gets angry, we don’t care if you die. But don’t implicate the whole Collins family!”

Hearing this, Kelly finally understood.

This was a trial..

She pulled a chair and sat down. She looked up at Penelope and Millie and said calmly, “Don’t you like lan and pursue Ian? You even told me not get in and give him to you. Aren’t I completely giving up becau my marriage? Why are you unhappy?”

“That’s different!” Millie was burning with anger. “We want Ian to like us, not…

“Enough!” Dylan scolded angrily. “You have no right to speak here. Go away.”

“Grandpa!” Millie stomped her feet. “Kelly is in big trouble. Why are you still protecting her?”

Dylan frowned. “Shut up!”

Then, he turned to Kelly. “Kelly, are you really married?”

“Yeah.”

Hearing this, Dylan sighed. “I didn’t tell you before that Ian was interested in you. Then, Ian suddenly left. I thought he had let go. But the time was too short, and I wasn’t very sure about his feelings.

“Now that you’re getting married rashly, it’s fine if lan gives up on you. If he doesn’t, I’m afraid he’ll cause a huge disaster.”

Dylan had no intention of reprimanding Kelly. He was simply worried. about trouble.

Kelly could understand.
