Chapter 717
Kelly told Ian, “Ian, there’s a gathering I want to go to tonight. Don’t worry, it won’t affect my trip to Grandpa’s
place tomorrow.”
‘Gathering?’ Ian thought.
Ian subconsciously became unhappy. He did not like Kelly leaving him and being with someone else.
However, he restrained himself and pretended to be curious. “What gathering?”
Kelly showed him the invitation. “Cyril brought it over for me. He said that it was sent by the daughter of the Phil
family’s third son.”
‘Why is Cyril so insensible?’ Ian thought.
His gaze darkened, but his gloom instantly dissipated when he saw the words “cousin-in-law” on the invitation.
‘Cousin and cousin-in-law…’ Ian thought.
He subconsciously looked down and glanced at Kelly. The corners of his mouth curled up.
They were a family. They were husband and wife.
“Alright.” Ian nodded. He looked extremely noble, but also a little cute. “But remember to come back early. I’ll get
Cyril to follow you.”
He had something to deal with tonight and couldn’t follow her, so he left her some instructions.
“No need, no need.” Kelly quickly shook her head. She thought, ‘Why would I need Cyril? It’s a waste of his talents.’
“No.” Ian immediately refused.
Kelly was stunned. Ian’s tough tone sounded like it was second nature to
him.
Ian also came to his senses and was immediately at a loss. “Kelly, don’t be

angry. I wasn’t trying to be fierce with you. I just, just…” He was used to being cold and giving orders.
Kelly felt a little aggrieved. She lowered her head and did not speak.
Ian became even more anxious when he saw this. The corners of his
eyes were red, and his expression became manic. Fortunately, Kelly quickly laughed.
Otherwise, he might have done something irreparable.
“Hehe,” Kelly rebuked, “I’m just teasing you. Why would I be angry with you?”
Ian thought, ‘It’s great that she isn’t angry.’
He heaved a sigh of relief. The blood in his eyes gradually faded.
He explained seriously, “Our identities haven’t been made public yet, so ignorant people might try to bully you.
Also…”
Ian paused, his beautiful eyes filled with worry. “I’m afraid that my enemies will try to hurt you. I can rest assured
with Cyril around.”
Kelly leaned over softly and rested her head on Ian’s shoulder. “I know that you are worried about me.”
At this point, she reached out to grab lan’s large hand. She wrapped her fingers around his and continued, “But you
scared me just now. Don’t get angry in the future. Just tell me directly if there’s anything bothering you.”
“I’m sorry.” Ian hugged Kelly.
The two of them cuddled for a while before Kelly went to the cloakroom to change.
As soon as she closed the door, she leaned against the door and caressed her racing heart.
She had been scared to death just now.
Ian would have crushed his phone if not for her quick reaction.

She had always been afraid of how Ian would lose his temper with the flick of a switch in the past. It was as if he
could not control himself at all.
He had improved a lot over this period, but why was he acting up again?
Kelly had a headache.
Her thoughts were different from before. In the past, all she wanted was to escape as soon as possible when she
met Ian. But now, her heart ached for him.
Kelly was smart, but she was too lazy to spend time on social interactions. After recalling carefully, she realized that
there was something wrong with Ian.
He probably had some psychological issues.
Ian was surrounded by danger. Kelly could not trust ordinary people. She could only wait for Olivia to return and
beg her to take a look at him.
She casually picked up a green dress and changed into it. She tied her hair up loosely.
She was born beautiful and was eye-catching even amongst a group of celebrities. Moreover, there was still that
immaturity of youth reflected on her face because she was young. She had a glowing complexion and did not need
to put on makeup at all. She was stunning even with simple eyebrow makeup and lipstick on.
As soon as she came out, Ian could not look away. His eyes seemed to be glued to her.
It made Kelly’s face turn red and her eyes sparkle.
“Annoying, don’t look!”
“I want to swim in your eyes.”

She heard lan say, “Naked.”

Immediately, Kelly’s face burned as she questioned, “Hmph, were did you learn something this naughty?”
“You don’t like it?” Ian blinked. A trace of confusion flashed across his eyes. “I’ve watched a lot of romance movies
and television dramas recently. This is a line I learned from them.”
“Movies and television dramas?” Kelly nodded. “That’s fine, but you should only learn from the good ones, not the
bad ones.”
Kelly reacted quickly. She immediately remembered that there were dramas that glamorized an abusive romance.
Ian was smart and knew how to draw inferences. She did not want him to be led astray.
Kelly went out after reminding Ian of that.
Time was a little tight. She could only get Cyril to contact Lucia to înform her that she would only arrive later.
At the banquet, everyone had already arrived and was waiting for
someone.
Lucia told everyone about how Mrs. Walter would be late when she received the news.
Someone said with a smirk, “She’s so arrogant. Though, it’s no wonder. After all, she’s Mr. Walter’s wife. Her status
is different from ours.”
Lucia swept her gaze around.
The smirking woman immediately became quiet.
Sharon did not want to listen to their chide remarks, so she went backstage and prepared to show off in front of
Kelly to salvage some of her reputation.
She had had enough of being angry at the Phil family during this time.
