Chapter 23

Terry found himself regretting his decision.

Ian had worked overtime till the wee hours of the morning. He proceeded to spend the entire day wearing nothing but a poker face. It was clear that he was in a bad mood.

Would Terry be making things worse for Ian by bringing up Sage’s shopping spree at this time?

“Thank you for shopping at Gentlemen’s Style! Your bill is 28,800 dollars! We hope to see you next time!”

Terry didn’t know if he was seeing things. He thought he noticed Ian’s furrowed brows relaxing slightly at the sight of the message.

Even though clothes with such a meager price tag would never be part of Ian’s daily wardrobe, Terry decided to risk his life by giving lan a compliment.

“It seems that Mrs. Holcomb has even bought you clothes even though she’s out on a shopping spree. She really cares about you, Mr. Holcomb,”

As expected, Ian’s expression softened a lot. Still, he harrumphed coldly at Terry’s words.

“I don’t care about her.

Terry picked up on the underlying meaning in Ian’s response immediately.

“Mr. Holcomb wou must
