Chapter 47: Sharing The Room With Justin
"Seems like they’re fine," Clara commented, feeling pleased with how her daughter knew how to handle the situation. It wouldn’t be long before Briena had Ivan completely under her control.
"Yes," Amelia agreed, watching the couple on the balcony. "They look perfect together."
Clara smiled and nodded, while she thought, ’Why wouldn’t they look better together when just a while ago, the Browns received another project from the Fords? My mother-in-law certainly knows how to keep everything in her control.’
After they finished dinner and were preparing to leave, Amelia turned to her son. "Ivan, why don’t you drop Briena home? I’ve already called another car for myself, and Clara will take her own, so there’s no issue."
Ivan agreed and led Briena to his car. Briena had often watched Natalie sitting in Ivan’s sleek red sports car and always felt jealousy, but now she was over the moon—’it all belonged to me now.’ She had always thought Ivan looked his most handsome when he was behind the wheel of his sports car.
He opened the door like a gentle man and she sat in co-driver seat.
When the car stopped outside the mansion, Ivan was about to step out to open the door for Briena, but she placed her hand over his, stopping him. He turned to her, curious, and she spoke softly.
"I want to thank you for understanding me today," her small, soft hand resting on his larger one. Her expression was genuine, and under the soft glow of the car’s interior light, she looked so beautiful that it could melt any man’s heart.
"You did it for me," he replied, trying to keep his emotions in check.
