No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 545

Half an hour later, Chase rushed into the study, placing a small object on an electronic device.

Ian's youthful voice immediately filled the room. "Hey, I’m Ian. You need to grow up fast because when you do, I can marry you. This necklace is my promise to you. You must always wear it."

A woman's voice followed soon after. "Sweetheart, it's Mom. This necklace was personally designed by your Aunt Leonora, you know. She even secretly recorded Ian's voice for you. When you're older, you can listen to it and have a conversation with Ian from the past. Isn't that magical? I hope you two grow up together, then get married and have a lifetime of happiness. Ian, remember the promise you made when you were little. Take good care of my baby when she grows up, and don't let her suffer even the slightest bit. Bless you both."

By this time, Clara was already in tears. She had always looked at her mother's photos and watched her performances. There were very few real videos of her speaking.

This was the first time she heard her mother's voice. Her voice was so gentle and kind it made one feel blissful just listening to it.

Clara clutched the corner of her dress tightly, her eyes misty as she looked at Casey. "Dad, it's Mom. She left me a message. She hoped Ian and I would be happy."

Casey hugged her to comfort her. "See? Your mom has always been rooting for you and Ian."

Clara quickly wiped away her tears and asked, "Is there anything else you've found?"
