Natalie ended up lazing in Ian’s room.
The fact was that she was afraid of Matteo. He was tall and looked like he enjoyed playing pranks on others. Hence, whenever she went out and saw him, she was always afraid that he might lift her up again.
Hence, she sat on Ian’s couch and played obediently.
Meanwhile, Susan was cooking outside. Since there were suddenly so many guests, she became busy.
Luckily, Kurt was there to help.
“Kurt, I didn’t expect you to know how to cook! How impressive. Did you know that Timothy doesn’t know how to do anything? He just asks for everything that he needs. I wonder if he’ll starve to death in the future.”
Looking at Kurt, who was cutting the vegetables skillfully, she was surprised and envious.
A smile formed on Kurt’s lips.
Naturally, he knew how to cook after training at SteelFort for a few years. The training was not just limited to combat—survival skills were taught as well.
Furthermore, he had a glutton with him; thus, there was no way that he would not know how to cook.
Kurt tried his best to help Susan prepare the food.
“Time to eat! After we are done, let’s take a look at Ian’s project.” Matteo was always optimistic. When he saw that the food was served, he ran to Ian’s room.
When Natalie saw him, she shuddered in fear. She ran away from the couch and crawled into Ian’s arms.
Ian was speechless.
Matteo complained, “What’s wrong with her? Why does she always run to you whenever she sees you, but treat me like I’m a ghost?”
Ian replied, “All right, let’s go out and eat.”
Then, he pushed his big-built brother out of his room and pulled Natalie out of his arms.
With his large figure, Matteo would undeniably intimidate children. Since he had been in the military school for quite some time, he was very strong and muscular. Furthermore, he was a prankster.
On the other hand, Ian did not train so intensely due to his health and was much thinner. His introverted personality made him seem more approachable too.
However, this was only Natalie’s perspective. Any other person would think that Ian was cold and aloof whenever they saw him.
“Let’s go and eat,” instructed Ian calmly as he gazed at Natalie.
While being carried by him, Natalie blinked her large, watery eyes.
“Can I sit with you? Kurt is definitely sitting next to Vivian, so I can’t sit there. There’s also Matteo and the other dude…” Natalie pouted as she revealed a fearful expression.
Is she serious?
The veins on Ian’s temples throbbed.
However, left with no choice, he could only take Natalie out.
Susan asked, “Huh? Is she with you all this while? It’s no wonder I didn’t hear anything.”
When she brought the food out and saw Ian bringing Natalie out, she was very surprised. She walked over and stroked her tiny head.
“Your name is Nat, right?”
“Yeah!”
When Natalie saw how gentle Susan was, she immediately took a liking to her.
Susan asked, “Do you want to sit with me? He might not know how to take care of you.”
She pointed at Ian, who had never taken care of anyone.
Natalie looked at both of them.
A handsome big brother or a gentle big sister… Never mind! I’ll fill my tummy first before playing with him.
Natalie allowed Susan to carry her away obediently. The meal ended in a fun and lively exchange between those young men and young ladies.
After eating, Ian agreed to take them to the project area.
Hence, the whole gang left enthusiastically.
“Ian, how’s the project looking? Are you going to turn everything into a commercial district?” asked Vivian since she was quite knowledgeable about businesses.
Ian passed her a blueprint.
“It’s going to look like this for now, but I want the surroundings to form a business ring. That’s how we can maximize profit. So, we’ll wait and see how things turn out after business starts.”
“That’s possible. But do you want to add something more unique?”
Vivian suddenly made a suggestion after receiving Ian’s blueprint—a contrast to her usual carefree personality.
What? Something unique?
Ian glanced at her. Matteo, who was driving in the front, and Kurt in the front seat also turned around simultaneously.
“What do you mean?”
“Like classical architecture, you know? The show that I organized in Elysium, Yorksland, helped the place to shoot to popularity. We can look for something similar to that,” reminded Vivian.
Everyone had to admit that among the triplets, Vivian was the most naturally gifted in terms of business. In short, she had inherited the good genes from both Sasha and Sebastian.
A smart man like Ian immediately understood what she meant. Ideas started surfacing in his mind rapidly.
