Chapter 1781 Cohabitation
Meanwhile, Ian had already gone back with Timothy. After having lunch, both of them returned to the apartment, for Ian needed to conduct a conference call with Yvonne in the afternoon.
As for Timothy, he had made an effort to come back together with Ian.
After lunch, Susan returned to her dorm with a heavy heart. After she lay down, her mind was preoccupied with the matter.
It turns out that Yasmin is really Duncan’s sister.
Thinking back to the day she saw the name list, she sent someone to Xenhall to send her a copy of the list of all the children who disappeared back then.
Subsequently, she used her photographic memory to recall Duncan’s details.
Duncan. That isn’t his real name. It should be Shane Snow. The Snow family was probably a family of scholars to have given their children such beautiful names. Unfortunately, their lives were ruined by that maniacal demon. Now that Shane is no longer around, can Yasmin accept the truth calmly?
Susan didn’t dare think about it.
Nonetheless, after lying down for the entire afternoon, she finally made a decision in the evening.
“Ian, after thinking through the matter, I feel I should stay by your side if you’re going to continue managing the company. Timothy is just too careless and won’t be able to juggle so many tasks. Therefore, I plan to move into your apartment too, what do you think?”
Susan had given Ian a call.
While presenting her idea, she was both nervous and blushing till her ears were red.
After all, she was still a young girl in her early twenties.
Luckily, Ian, who trusted her with his life, readily agreed. “Sure, when are you moving? Do you need my help?”
In fact, he even sounded delighted at the news.
At that moment, Susan felt her concerns ease.
“That’s… a good idea. Come over and help me then. Don’t worry, I’ll inform your parents of the matter.”
“There’s no need to, just move over,” Ian plainly rejected.
After lessons had ended, he left class with his bag slung behind his back.
Coincidentally, Yasmin ran into him. When she saw him, she remembered that he had asked her to invite him along whenever she found any jobs. Hence, she called out to him, “Ian, where are you going?”
Stopping in his tracks, he turned around to look at her.
“Is something up?”
“Not really. Remember you told me that you wanted to work part-time while studying? I just found a job as a home tutor. Do you want to join me?”
Yasmin explained her intention in an awkward manner.
The moment the words left her mouth, she was surprised that Ian had no reaction at all. Just two days ago, his eyes lit up curiously upon hearing about the strange ideas she had.
“Nope.”
“Hmm?”
Yasmin was caught off guard by his monosyllabic answer.
By the time she regained her senses, Ian was already long gone.
What’s with that snarky attitude? I’m not going to invite him the next time!
After having her good intentions rebuffed, Yasmin was filled with exasperation, causing her to stomp her feet before leaving.
Meanwhile, Ian headed to the Faculty of Business Administration.
Given that all the girls there had not seen Ian before, the entire dorm was filled with excitement when they realized how handsome he was, to the extent Susan was worried that Ian would be given a shock.
In the end, Ian ignored all of them.
Once again, it was an opportunity for him to demonstrate how his character flaws made him different from an ordinary person.
Whatever he disliked or scorned would be totally filtered out of his mind.
Once both of them had moved some stuff to the apartment, Susan went off at once to buy some groceries.
“Ian, just leave my things there. I’ll unpack them when I’m back. But first, I’m heading out to get some groceries to cook. If you have something to do, please go on ahead.”
“Sure,” Ian agreed obediently.
After Susan came back with the groceries and was done cooking, Ian was still busy working in his room.
Such a routine felt right to her.
“Ian, it’s time for dinner. You can continue later.”
“Mmm-hmm,” he grunted before coming out of his room.
Coincidentally, Timothy had just returned from playing basketball and was drenched in sweat.
The moment he saw his sister and the table filled with a scrumptious feast, he ranted, “Susan, aren’t you being biased? Why haven’t you cooked such a delicious meal for me before?”
Just as he spoke, he sat down and started eating before washing his hands.
The instant she saw it, Susan slapped his hands aside.
“Go and wash your hands. How do you expect everyone else to eat when your hands are so dirty?”
“Okay.”
“Ian, have you washed your hands? Once you’re done, come and have dinner.”
“I’m ready.”
Amidst the warm atmosphere, all of them had a great time together.
With her mind put at ease, Susan slept very well in her new room that night.
