Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 2497

After they had run off, Ian squinted at Zivon before grumbling, “Are you not an adult? Stop making jokes like these!”

“As you said, it’s a joke, so it shouldn’t cause any harm unless it’s the truth.”

…This man was so frustrating!

After sitting by the edge of the bed, Ian sighed before muttering, “…Look, do you think a person as busy as I am, is qualified to be in love? Just so you know, I used to date a girl though we broke up in only three days because of how much work I had at the time… She even told me that a workaholic like me didn’t deserve to fall in love…”

“I have to admit, she was right. After all, unlike your working style, I have constant responsibilities to fulfill, and I never truly have any time off. Imagine if you were in my shoes. Would you like the idea of having Xavia and the kids to yourself when you’re barely ever by their side…?”

“…You’re damned right I would’ve stopped you…! Jovan, we’ve been working together for years! Do you not care about our bond at all? Also, what kind of company is Lana setting up? If she needs help, then I’ll just get someone else for her! I’m talking to HR to reprocess the resignation letter later. You’re getting your job back if it’s the last thing I do!”

Just as Ian was about to hang up, however, Jovan suddenly replied, “Please don’t do that, Sir Ian… Just… Helping with Lana’s company isn’t the only reason I’m resigning…”
