At 2 PM, Jan took Yvonne to school.

The little girl, still sleepy, rubbed her eyes as she woke up nestled against his shoulder.

Outside the Holmes family’s door.

lan, who was carrying a kitten backpack, went out and nodded slightly after seeing the person standing outside the door.

“I’ll send the driver to take you back,” he said.

Howard maintained his composure and declined.

He had a driver and just called.

Yvonne, who was lying on her stomach, looked at the unfamiliar man curiously.

He was good–looking, but his impassive expression made him appear less approachable.

Feeling Yvonne’s curious gaze, Howard looked away, his knuckles paled as he clenched his fists.

He found Yvonne’s eyes unpleasant, reminding him of the obnoxious man whose genes they shared.

Howard didn’t feel comfortable when she looked at him.

Yvonne observed that Howard didn’t seem to care for her.

She wisely averted her gaze and refused to look at him again.

After getting into the car, she asked Ian, who was sitting next to her.

“Uncle lan, who was that man just now?”

Ian leaned over to fasten her seat belt and rubbed her little head.

He said, “He’s a friend of your mother’s. He can be a bit distant, but don’t let it bother you.”

“Oh.” Yvonne pondered for a moment before asking, “Has he been unhappy this whole time? If so, why?”

Ian froze for a moment.

How could he, a man of such stature, be bothered by another man’s unhappiness?

Because Yvonne was curious, Ian patiently explained, “Perhaps it’s because he never married.”

Yvonne nodded, blinking thoughtfully.

lan found Yvonne quiet, but she quickly grew even more curious.

She lifted her gaze, her dark eyes fixed on her single uncle.

“Uncle, you’re unmarried too. Why are you happy?” she asked.

Ian was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he said, “Because I was born to be a happy person.”
