It wasn't that Vera had too many secrets, but simply that she couldn't accept him.
Ian Lockwood had been by her side for years. He had thought all he lacked was the right opportunity, but it turned out he just wasn't the one she was waiting for.
Victor Morgan had only just appeared, yet their relationship had already progressed this far. Ian Lockwood had no idea where he had lost.
He knew Vera wasn't the type of woman to chase wealth and status, so she couldn't be after the Morgan family's fortune.
But the child had completely captured Vera's heart.
As Ian Lockwood reached the end of the hallway, Vera ran out and called after him, "Ian, thank you!"
Ian Lockwood turned back, a gentle smile on his face. He still had the air of a perfectly polite and refined gentleman, the kind that could steal many hearts.
His gentle and refined aura was something few women could resist.
