StartNovelAt 2 PM, Jan took Yvonne to school.
The little girl, still sleepy, rubbed her eyes as she woke up nestled against his shoulder.
Outside the Holmes family’s door.
lan, who was carrying a kitten backpack, went out and nodded slightly after seeing the person standing outside
the door.
“I'll send the driver to take you back,” he said.
Howard maintained his composure and declined.
He had a driver and just called.
Yvonne, who was lying on her stomach, looked at the unfamiliar man curiously.
He was good-looking, but his impassive expression made him appear less approachable.
Feeling Yvonne's curious gaze, Howard looked away, his knuckles paled as he clenched his fists.
He found Yvonne's eyes unpleasant, reminding him of the obnoxious man whose genes they shared.
Howard didn’t feel comfortable when she looked at him.
Yvonne observed that Howard didn’t seem to care for her.
She wisely averted her gaze and refused to look at him again.
After getting into the car, she asked lan, who was sitting next to her.
“Uncle lan, who was that man just now?”
lan leaned over to fasten her seat belt and rubbed her little head.
He said, “He’s a friend of your mother’s. He can be a bit distant, but don’t let it bother you.”
“Oh.” Yvonne pondered for a moment before asking, “Has he been unhappy this whole time? If so, why?”
lan froze for a moment.
How could he, a man of such stature, be bothered by another man’s unhappiness?
Because Yvonne was curious, lan patiently explained, “Perhaps it's because he never married.”
Yvonne nodded, blinking thoughtfully.
lan found Yvonne quiet, but she quickly grew even more curious.
She lifted her gaze, her dark eyes fixed on her single uncle.
“Uncle, you're unmarried too. Why are you happy?” she asked.
lan was speechless.
After a moment of silence, he said, “Because | was born to be a happy person.”

He enjoyed Yvonne's persistent questions, even if this particular one was a bit uncomfortable.

As lan looked at the kitten backpack in his hand, a thought struck him.
He asked, “Yvonne, where did the picture frin your bag cfrom? Can you tell me?”

He was stunned when he saw the person in the picture while filling Yvonne's teacup with water before leaving at
noon today.
The photo showed a young Tinley at her graduation.
Many of her former classmates were now involved in politics. Their political successes had made them highly
regarded at the school, making this particular graduation photo a treasured keepsake.
Yvonne said softly, “Anna gave it to me.”
Realization dawned on lan as he heard the name.
Skylar, who was classmates with Tinley, also had the graduation photo.
Remembering something, Yvonne looked up at lan with a serious expression on her small face.
“Unde, Yvonne requested, “I want to buy Mommy lots of flowers so she looks young. Will you please taketo
get some?
lan’s eyes flickered as he sighed.
“Yvonne, you want to grow flowers and put them in her room?” he asked.
Yvonne nodded, “Yeah!”
Yvonne secretly planned to infuse her mother with magical power after she fell asleep that night.
However, Yvonne slept soundly in her bed, so soundly that she couldn't be woken until dawn each day.
When she woke up, her mother was no longer in bed.
The plan was terminated because of that.
Yvonne decided to make it simple and grow flowers.
Jan placed his large hand on her head, gently stroking her hair. His intense gaze settled on her.
“Okay,” he said. “I'll take you after school.”
“Thank you, uncle!” said Yvonne delightedly.
Jan smiled, hearing the little girl's happy voice.
“Don’t mention it. I'm your uncle,” said lan.
lan carried Yvonne from the car after stopping at the school gate, taking her into kindergarten.
A strange sight beside him attracted his attention.
lan tilted his head to look at the source of his sight and saw Carlson with his son Kevin.
lan tilted his head and saw Carlson and his son, Kevin.
“Mr. Holmes, I'm really sorry, | just found out about this,” Carlson apologized as he drew closer to them.

Carlson said, “I understand that Kevin said something that offended Yvonne, and | apologize for that. The
children are young and may not have understood the situation.”
Confused, lan lowered his eyes to Yvonne. “What happened?” he asked. “What did he say?”
Yvonne forgot who the man was, but she still remembered what the boy had said.
She said, “He said he wants to marry me.”
lan hugged Yvonne tightly, paused for a moment, then turned to look at Kevin by Carlson's leg.
Carlson explained quickly, “I laughed when | heard that. He didn’t understand marriage at all and only brought it
up because he saw something about it on TV. When | found out about it at noon, I lectured him.”
Kevin looked like he'd been crying; his eyes were red, and he was walking a bit strangely.
lan frowned.
“Please make sure your child doesn’t bother Yvonne in the future,” he said calmly. “It’s not funny to say that to a
little girl”
Carlson said, “I understand, Mr. Holmes.”
Carlson smiled, lifted his son’s chin when he looked down, and gave him a firm pat on the bottom.
He stated firmly, “No more jokes, you heard me!”
Many children gathered around Kevin, watching. Even though the slap didn’t hurt, Kevin cried out in distress.
He whimpered softly, but didn’t say a word.
Carlson’s eyebrows shot up and he was about to continue reprimanding his son when lan intervened.
“It's better to lecture your son at home; otherwise, people might think you're just putting on a show for me,” lan
said calmly.
A strange expression
flitted across Carlson Jones's face as lan spoke.
He was indeed putting on a show for lan.
When Kelvin called at noon, Carlson thought it was about a collaboration and felt a surge of excitement.
Kelvin made no mention of cooperation and instead engaged in a serious discussion about the children’s
sensitive topics about marriage.
Carlson was so embarrassed he couldn't speak, able only to repeat what he’d just heard.
After the call, he summarized the key points.
Children commonly expressed their love through marriage proposals, but this wouldn't work if it caused Yvonne
any trouble.
Carlson felt a pang of anger, believing Yvonne, having grown up in an orphanage, shouldn't be so pretentious
and tell her parents every little thing.
He found Kelvin a bit too particular and worried it might affect the little girl's chances of getting married
someday.
Although Carlson thought his son was right, he still taught his son a lesson to show it to the Adler family and the
Holmes family.
Carlson explained to his son that Yvonne, that stuck-up little girl, was the reason he had been lectured.
