    Iris understood what he meant, and a happy smile slowly appeared in her eyes.

    “Eat the sweet rice wine dumplings while they’re hot.” Aedan said as he scooped up a spoonful of dumplings and brought it to her mouth.

    Iris opened her mouth and ate it.

    After she finished a whole bowl of sweet rice wine dumplings, Aedan got up to leave.

    “You could stay tonight,” Iris offered.

    Aedan pulled her over, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, “No, you just get a good sleep. I’ll pick you up for school tomorrow morning.”

    “Okay.”

    Aedan put on his coat and left./

    The car had just pulled out of Weston Manor when the phone rang.

    He nced at the caller ID on his phone and only answered the call after a while.

    “Dad.” He called out to the person on the other end of the phone.

    “Aedan, the election was about to start. I had to get that position. You knew what to do.” Beckett said on the other end of the phone.

    Of course, Aedan knew what to do.

    That was using Iris’s money power to support Beckett, so he could win the election and get to the top spot.

    “As long as I got that position, there would be no obstacles for Iris’s development in the country.” Beckett said again.

    **

    “Father, I could go convince other people to support you, but Iris, no way.”

    Aedan’s refusal was clear.

    From the very beginning, he never thought about using Iris. He was truly sincere toward Iris.

    “What did you mean?”

    Suddenly, the voice from the phone turned cold, “Convince other people? How are you going to convince them? You had no foundation in the country, so how could you convince the local business groups to support me in the election?”

    Besides, which domestic consortium had the kind of power that Iris and the Knighton family had?

    “No matter if I could convince others or not, I definitely wouldn’t try to convince Iris.” Aedan was firm.

    Although his growth couldn’t have happened without Beckett, his father, looking after him.

    But he was a person, a thirty–three–year–old grown man, not a machine to be pushed around.

    He wasn’t controlled by anyone.

    Including Beckett, the biological father.

    “Aedan, you really grew wings.”

    Beckett on the other end of the phone was angry, “Don’t you get it? If I got that position, it’d be all good for you and not hurt you at all. You could go back home and do whatever you want.”

    “No need, I’m in Goltuna, I’m fine.” Aedan’s voice turned cold too, “If Father doesn’t have anything else, let’s stop here.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

    ***

    Aedan proposed to Iris and she said yes. His mom Margaret was really happy and invited Iris to bring Ezekiel and Isabe over for dinner.

    Margaret had brought Aedan abroad for many years, and the way they got along was pretty much like foreigners.

    Since Aedan started working, he moved out and lived separately from Margaret.

    He only went back to Margaret’s ce for a meal when he was free on weekends.

    Margaret called Iris herself, so of course Iris didn’t say no.

    After ss in the afternoon, she brought it up to Aedan and said, “Ms. Valois invited us to her ce for dinner tonight.”
