CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: IS THIS RICH SON-IN-LAW ABOUT TO FALL THROUGH?

No girl had ever been fierce with him before; when she was fierce, she was truly fierce, but Ian Sterling found it quite amusing.

"..." Summer Nolan instinctively looked at him, expecting him to make things up carelessly, but she didn’t expect him to sound so sincere.

Fierceness can be cute? Even rolling her eyes can be cute? Mrs. Nolan held back her laughter, finally seeing through it, this must be what they mean by ’beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, right?

Her daughter really stepped in a dog’s luck!

Outside the restaurant window, the man sitting in the luxury car looked at Summer Nolan gazing at that man, his fingers slowly tightened—

It felt like something precious belonging to him was slowly slipping away.

He wouldn’t allow it!

Hmph, she said she was accompanying her mother to shop, but here she was secretly on a dinner date with that man! Elias Spencer’s cold eyes fixed on her, wishing he could bore several holes into her.

"Find out the exact location of the house Summer Nolan recently bought." He ordered the bodyguard in front coldly.

"Yes, Young Master Spencer." The man replied.

"Also, from now on, drive the Rolls-Royce Phantom for work commutes." He had always been very low-key, not liking to show off wealth, but who asked those mother and daughter to love money so much?

For goodness’ sake.

Seeing that guy named Ian driving a Rolls-Royce, their eyes went straight!

"...Yes." The bodyguard responded again.

"And go find out Ms. Nolan’s mother’s preferences as soon as possible." Elias Spencer ordered again with a cold voice.

"...Yes." The bodyguard noted down all his requests, questioning if he had been provoked?

In the restaurant, Summer Nolan suddenly felt a bit uneasy, as if someone was watching her, she looked around the window, yet saw no familiar face.

Ian Sterling placed a freshly grilled slice of beef tongue on her plate, "What are you looking at?"

"It’s nothing." She gently shook her head and deliberately placed a piece on his plate too: "Hurry and eat, you’ve been taking care of us without eating much yourself."

"I don’t mind if you feed me." He joked.

"You really dare to make demands." She laughed, they weren’t a couple, wasn’t he embarrassed?

"I’m just joking, I’m very happy you serve me food."

Just as Ian Sterling finished speaking, a girl in a yellow dress with shoulder-length short hair walked up from behind, and suddenly shouted at him with a sharp voice,

"Who is the woman next to you, Brother Ian?!"

Luckily, someone called her, saying he was here having a meal with a woman, indeed! Fortunately, someone informed her!

Instantly, the three of them looked toward the voice, Mrs. Nolan sized her up and down, with her pampered yet arrogant demeanor, she seemed instantly unlikable.

"Ian, who is she?"

"Just a little sister of mine, her family and the Sterling family have been friends for generations, so this girl doesn’t always know her manners, sorry." Fearing that the mother and daughter would misunderstand, he quickly explained.

Just after he spoke, the young girl immediately retorted,

"What little sister? I’m clearly your fiancée, yet you’re secretly dating another woman? I must report this to Uncle and Aunt!"

"I did not agree." Ian Sterling shot her a cold glance.

The young girl frowned, frustratedly, glanced at the woman by his side who was prettier and calmly sipping red wine, unlike those indecent women.

With a mind to ruin their relationship,

"Our parents have long discussed our marriage alliance, I’m your fiancée now, Brother Ian, how can you have one foot in two boats?"

"I’ve said, I did not agree, you leave now, or I’ll get angry?!" Ian looked at Summer Nolan, stood up from the sofa and ordered angrily.

"You’d better come with me, or... or I won’t let that woman off, hmph." She angrily glared at Summer Nolan, who was still sitting on the sofa and eating calmly, annoyed.

How come she’s not angry?

Is it because she relies on Brother Ian’s protection?

Seeing this pestering young girl, Ian Sterling truly became angered. If he didn’t take her away, she would definitely continue to pester here.

He turned to Summer Nolan to explain: "Don’t misunderstand, I really didn’t agree to marriage with her; I’ll take her back first."

Summer Nolan didn’t care whether he had other women around or if he was engaged, she approached him only to obtain the account book.

She smiled and said to him:

"You don’t need to explain to me, we’re just friends now, right? You’d better take her back, arguing here isn’t good."

Hearing her words, Ian Sterling felt a bit disappointed, was he too anxious himself? Better settle this young girl first, to avoid further disturbances.

He called her out, and speaking solemnly after getting in the car:

"I’ve long told you, I only see you as a little sister and won’t marry you, understand?"

The young girl pitifully grabbed his hand, shook it and pouted,

"But I love you... I don’t care, I’ll marry you in this lifetime! By the way, who was that woman?"

Hmph, daring to take my man, she’ll regret this, won’t she?

"You’d better not mess with her, dare touch her and don’t blame me for being rude to you!"

Ian Sterling warned her, shaking off her hand in disgust, starting the car, taking her away quickly to prevent her from returning to the restaurant to trouble the Nolans.

In Elias Spencer’s car, seeing Ian Sterling taken away by his fiancée, a sly smile finally curled on his lips.

The previous gloom was completely gone.

As an ex, he was looking out for his ex-girlfriend, better to find out he had a fiancée now than later! Besides, those two seniors of the Sterling family are no pushovers.

Those two are scheming and ruthless.

Did she think that because Ian has a good character, his parents are easy to deal with?

What a foolish woman!!!

Elias Spencer looked forward to seeing Summer Nolan in the restaurant, only to find her calmly leaning back on the sofa, with a glass of red wine in hand, gently swirling it—

Not angry at all.

Why wasn’t she angry with that man?

Summer Nolan took another sip of red wine, put down the glass, picked up a fork, speared a piece of fruit salad and put it into her mouth, ate the grilled meat, and then some of this to get rid of the greasiness.

Mrs. Nolan at this moment was both angry and disappointed, she asked if he had a girlfriend, even asked if he was married, but never asked about having a fiancée!

Just missed one question.

With arms crossed, she stared at her daughter, unable to hold back and asked, "Don’t you have any other feelings? Still able to eat?"

"What feelings should I have? We’re just ordinary friends now, you saw him as the perfect catch." Summer Nolan ate another piece of fruit.

"His family has agreed on marriage allies, I think that perfect catch is fading..." Mrs. Nolan sighed with regret.

"Just treat him as my friend, don’t give him the cold shoulder, he’s still my partner for now."

She reminded her, still not unveiling Ian Sterling’s identity to her mother.

If her mother knew, she’d definitely dislike him, hindering her own plans.

"Don’t you like him even a little?" Mrs. Nolan asked, pouting.

"No."

Although no, her impression of him was still good, he was quite nice, every time she met him, Summer Nolan would feel a bit guilty.
