Linda returned to the vice president’s office with a bright smile as she had found a common hobby with Finnley.
Since childhood, she had been fond of cartoons and sketching cartoon characters in her spare time.
When in middle school, Linda sketched cartoons on her textbooks, which annoyed her teachers.
If she had won the fierce competition to find a job in the cartoon industry in the past, she wouldn’t have worked for the Marsh Group.
Recalling the cartoons she had seen just now, Linda thought Finnley was adorable as he drew them in his company, which didn’t match his public image.
Linda was delighted to know more about her crush.
Rowan’s villa.
The pale moonlight fell through the window. The room where Ivan and Spencer stayed was lit brightly.
The night was deep.
Staring at the calendar on his phone, Ivan was lost in thought.
Seeing him furrowing his eyebrows, Jennifer asked tentatively, “What’s wrong?”
He answered in a low voice. “It’s my mother’s birthday today.”
Spencer was also slightly taken aback, turning to check on him.
The room was blanketed by silence for several seconds.
They all recalled the scene filled with the gunpowder smell earlier in unison.
Squatting before Ivan, Jennifer gripped his hand and stared at him. “Why don’t you call her and send your blessings? It’ll help you improve your relationship.”
Ivan thought about her suggestion for almost half a minute.
Finally, he dialed Aubree’s number.
After a short beep, the call was connected.
“Hello, Mom,” Ivan greeted her actively.
Aubree was in the study on the second floor. She had just told the bedtime stories to the children and sent them to sleep.
“Ehn,” she replied. What happened earlier in the daytime still upset her, as her son defended Spencer.
She had never liked Spencer.
Ivan’s expression eased. “Happy birthday, Mom.”
