Inside Adalyn’s restaurant, Vivian, who had just started eating, knitted her brows when she saw thatthere were only four of them.

"Where's Aunt Susan? Why isn't she here?"

"Hmm?"

Laying out the cutlery, Kurt looked at her. "Didn't you inform her?”

"I didn't. Isn't she supposed to be together with lan? lan, didn't you tell Aunt Susan about havinglunch here?"

Vivian looked at lan, who had taken his seat opposite her.

Instead of responding, the latter's gaze shifted in Sigrun's direction.

Evidently, she was the one who arranged everything.

At that moment, she began to shirk her responsibility.

"1-1 thought that you had informed her. Since you haven't, I'll give her a call right now.”

She took out her phone at once.

Nevertheless, Vivian was already annoyed. This is just Aunt Susan's first day at school, and we havealready made such a careless mistake. What will she think when she replaces out about it? She willdefinitely feel sad about it.

Getting to her feet, Vivian decided to pick Susan up herself.

The moment she left, Kurt naturally went with her, leaving lan and Sigrun at the dining table.

“lan, I..."

"Didn't she ask you to make reservations for lunch? Why didn't you do it?" lan questioned with anindifferent look in his eyes.

Sigrun was surprised that he had brought up the Incident in the morning. She had assumed that hedidn't care for it, just like many other things in his life.

Upon realizing he had clearly remembered the matter, her face lost all color.

"lan, I-I'm sorry. I just thought that you had no intention of eating out, so I decided not to makereservations. After that, I assumed Vivi would have told her when she invited US here."Subsequently, Silence ensued.

At that moment, lan got to his feet as a grim look flashed in his eyes

In the end, after Vivian found Susan, she and Kurt brought the latter to have lunch in the schoolcafeteria together.

Even though the simple dining environment wasn't as luxurious as that of Adalyn’s place, thedespair that Susan felt earlier eased a little at the warm gesture.

"Aunt Susan, you should come straight to me next time. lan can't be bothered with anything andlets Sigrun run his affairs, just like a kid who hasn't grown up- Mmm..."

Before she could finish, Kurt had stuffed a piece of steak into her mouth, rendering her speechless.Damn it, doesn't he realize that I'm speaking to Aunt Susan?

Susan continued to eat quietly.

Kurt, too, didn't say a word. It wasn't until Vivian left to wash her hands that he swept his gazetoward Susan, who was feeling down in the dumps.

"Sigrun is someone Old Mr. Jadeson found for him. Over the past half year, she has been taking careof him"

"In that case, what about him?" Susan finally asked.

When she raised her head to look at Kurt, he could see the ashen color of her face.

Kurt cocked a brow. "Him? How would I know?"

Susan was stumped.

"Perhaps, she has grown on him like how you did when you took care of him back then. Or maybe,he's just used to being under her care. Anyway, how could I know what's going through his mind?"Kurt's tone was indifferent to the extent of sounding a little cold as if to express his exasperationover the question.

If she really wants to reconcile the relationship, what does the engagement matter? Is she just goingto back off because of it? If that's what she thinks, I would prefer Sigrun to be with lan for the rest ofhis life. At the very least, he will be a lot happier with someone who doesn't shy away in the face ofobstacles.

Susan stared blankly at him as she didn't know how to describe her feelings. The only thing she feltwas a growing sense of isolation.

Only then did she realize the complex emotions she previously felt were nothing compared to hercurrent feelings.

That's right. How can I give up just because of this? They aren't even married yet, are they? As longas they aren't, I still have hope. I will show him that I'm the one that belongs in his heart.

Wiping the tears off her eyes, Susan began to wolf down her food.

When she saw lan again in the afternoon, she noticed the apologetic look in his eyes even thoughhe didn't bring up the matter of lunch.

"Next time, just come to me if you need anything."

"All right.”

Susan felt better at once.

Over the next few days, she would travel back and forth between the Faculty of Accounting and theFaculty of Finance. Just as he promised, lan would drop whatever he was doing whenever she cameto see him.

Consequently, Susan was happy with how things were.

Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Sigrun.

"Grandpa, ever since Susan came, she keeps staying by Ian's side. Even though she's his aunt, shegets in my way of spending time with him. Are you able to somehow transfer her away from theuniversity?"

"All right. I'll have it done right away.”

Sympathizing with his granddaughter, Lucius Lightburn readily agreed to the request.

However, the moment he ended the call, his wife reminded him, “Susan is one of Louis Limmer'sdescendants and is someone of importance. Are you sure you want to mess with her?”

"What are you afraid of? Even if she’s a member of the Limmer family, it's only in name as shedoesn't hold any meaningful power. Besides, I'm not messing around with her. Can't I replace her abetter school than the one she's in now?"

Lucius didn't think much of the matter.q
