Chapter 708
Then, she would go as told.
Kelly did not overthink it. However, the dress she was wearing was too troublesome. She had to find a place to get changed.
She decided to go back to Ian’s first.
Ian was waiting for her at home.
Within half an hour, he had stretched his head out and looked out over
ten times.
He looked like he was dying to see Kelly back.
Even Cyril and Emmanuel could not stand it anymore.
“Mr. Walter, why don’t you go to pick Mrs. Walter up?” Cyril suggested.
Ian shook his head with a solemn expression. “No. I just remembered I had to take Kelly to see Grandpa soon!”
Ian had just remembered it.
At first, Joshua had hoped that Ian would manipulate Kelly and make Kelly unable to stop loving him.
However, that did not seem to be the case at the time.
The case was that Ian was the one who couldn’t leave Kelly, not that Kelly couldn’t leave him.
This was a little tricky.
Ian respected his grandpa, Joshua. He did not want to let Joshua down, nor did he want Joshua to hate Kelly.
Hence, lan made a last-minute effort and decided to turn a cold shoulder
to Kelly.
He told Cyril and Emmanuel his plan, “I’ve decided to restrain myself. Although men in the Hushe Republic dote on their wives, I can’t lose my
masculinity. I must restrain my love for Kelly and not let her affect me.
Gosh!
Upon hearing this, Cyril and Emmanuel were on the verge of tears.
They thought inwardly, ‘Mr. Walter is finally back on track. He finally realized the seriousness of the problem! Thank God! Thank God!”
Tears welled up in their eyes.
Cyril wiped the corners of his eyes. “Mr. Walter, you’re right. Women need men’s love and care, but you can’t spoil them. You should be moderat
“Yeah.” Ian nodded and said earnestly, I’ve been very restrained today
How had he restrained himself?
Cyril and Emmanuel looked at each other in confusion.
Then, they heard Ian say, “I didn’t follow Kelly to the banquet today. I didn’t wait for her in the car.”
Speaking of this, Ian sighed, and his eyes flashed with distress.
The husbands in TikTok waited for their wives in the mall like this. There
was a room where the husbands could rest and relax while waiting.
Ian made an analogy and felt that he should have waited in the car for her to come back since Kelly went to the banquet. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
However, he did not go. He endured it
Ian looked at Cyril and Emmanuel and frowned slightly. He looked a little torn. “Do you guys think I’ve gone too far? I’ve restrained myself too
much!”
Cyril and Emmanuel were speechless.
‘Mr. Walter, are you kidding? Did you call that ‘restraint’? How could it be called so?’ They thought helplessly. ‘Are you sure you understand what ‘restrain’ means?’
Cyril did not dare to speak.
Emmanuel could not help but

Ian sneered. “Jesus, no wonder you are still single. Kelly is my wife. How dare you compare her to your ex-girlfriends?”
Emmanuel was stunned. He was at a loss for words for a moment and
could only ask Cyril for help.
Cyril did not want to get involved, but he could not stand Emmanu pinching him and said, “Mr. Walter, well, men in the Hushe Republ rarely wait in the car when their wives go to banquets. Both husband wife are busy with their things.”
lan frowned slightly as if he had listened.
After thinking about it for some time, he said again, “It should be like this. I don’t have to wait if I have something to do, but I don’t have anything else to do tonight. I’ve been free, but I didn’t wait for Kelly…”
At this point, lan’s tone changed. His voice trembled slightly, and his heart
ached.
He lowered his head and said in a low voice, “Although you guys found an excuse for me, and Kelly doesn’t know I’m free tonight, I know very well what’s going on with me.
“I’m just not being sincere to Kelly!”
The more lan spoke, the more guilty he felt. In the end, he could no longer control his emotions. He stood up and walked out. “I’m going to pick up Kelly.”
Cyril quickly followed up with him. “Mr. Walter, Mrs. Walter is already on the way. The driver just sent a message.”
lan did not stop walking. “Where are they now?”
Cyril answered, “They will be here in half an hour.”
3/6
Kelly leaned against the back seat with her head tilted back, looking sleepy.
She was still not into the banquets. It could not be more boring.
She liked to stay with Olivia or fight and do missions with her senior
brother.
This kind of decadent music and lovey-dovey stuff were not her thing.
Kelly did not open her eyes until they were almost there.
over
The driver came to open the door for her. Kelly lifted her skirt and got out of the car. As soon as her feet landed, she saw Ian striding over.
“Ian!” Kelly was pleasantly surprised. She did not expect lan to come out to
wait for her.
Ian walked over and pulled Kelly into his arms.
Oh God! So many people were watching them!
Kelly was a little shy. She buried her head in Ian’s neck. As soon as her cheek touched it, she felt a chill.
She thought, “Why is his neck so cold?”
Kelly raised her hand and placed her palm on it. First, she touched his neck, then his cheek, and finally his hands.
They were all cold.
Kelly immediately narrowed her beautiful eyes. She pouted and glared at Ian. “How long have you been waiting out here?”
Jan answered, “Half an hour.”
Kelly was mad. She poked him hard with her slender finger. “Are you okay, young man? What are you thinking? It’s almost ten at night. It’s so chilly out here. You shouldn’t have waited here so long.”
Chilly?
lan quickly reacted and looked at Kelly nervously. “Kelly, you feel cold?

Here.”
After saying that, he immediately undressed his coat and put it on Kelly.
Kelly was speechless. “I’m saying you’re cold.”
Ian shook his head, his eyes sparkling. “No. I’m good.”
Kelly was lost for words again.
‘What a silly guy he is!’ she murmured inwardly.
Back in the house, Kelly quickly rubbed Ian’s hands together and
instructed the servants to make hot cocoa for him.
Ian loved it when Kelly rubbed his hands. Her hands were soft and warm. When she rubbed his hands, it made his heart warm.
At the same time, he felt guilty.
Kelly worried so much about him, but he restrained his love for her because of his grandfather.
Ian felt terrible.
At last, he could not help but lean on Kelly’s shoulder and whisper, “I’m
sorry.”
Kelly was puzzled. “What are you sorry for?”
“I wasn’t in the car tonight. I should have waited for you until the banquet. was over,” said Ian.
Kelly didn’t know what to say in response.
‘Crap! Is Ian going to go from one extreme to another?’ she wondered.
He was indifferent and cared none about her needs before. But at this moment, he was paying too much attention to her.
Kelly was a little helpless. She held Ian’s hand and whispered, “Ian, you don’t have to wait for me. It’s so boring to be alone outside. You can go and do your things. If you insisted on waiting for me outside, I would be

worried about you.”
Ian blinked and wiped away the tears in his eyes.
He did not expect Kelly to care about him so much.
His Kelly cared so much about him, but he restrained his love for her for
selfish reasons.
Ian could no longer control his emotions. He hugged Kelly tightly in his arms. “Kelly, you’re the best.”
Kelly was at a loss for words, wondering what Ian had imagined in his mind again.
