This part of the diary contained a lot of content and all of Ivan's likes and dislikes.
He questioned the Sam and Kelly why they didn't love him, and wondered if he was disobedient and that was why they didn't like him as a son.
Later, by the time Ivan was eight years old, he seemed to have given up on the couple, and the diary began to stop mentioning them, and the ones mentioned the most became Stanley's parents.
Ivan wrote all about how Stanley's parents cared for him and treated him well.
Violet was able to see the kind of heartfelt happiness and attachment Ivan felt when he wrote about his aunt.
So Ivan, during this period, should have considered Stanley’s parents as her parents.
It wasn't until a diary entry from the year Ivan turned twelve that Violet first saw worry and apprehension in Ivan's writing.
Ivan said in his diary that Stanley’s parents intended to take Stanley back, and he was afraid that after Stanley came back, his uncle and aunt would no longer love him, much less treat him as their own son.
So, Ivan said, he went to his grandfather and played a mind trick to get him to keep Stanley abroad.
"That's what suffering is like, right?" Violet couldn't help but sigh.
Ivan hadn't experienced his parents' love since he was young, so that was why Stanley’s parents treated him well, and that was why he was afraid that Stanley would come back, for he would become the same unsupported person as before.
It was hateful and pathetic.
Violet rubbed her brow and stroked the diary.
Ivan said that Stanley had successfully been left abroad and could not return, so he was relieved and continued to enjoy the love from Stanley’s parents again.
Before Stanley’s parents died, Ivan had normal feelings for Stanley’s parents and genuinely treated them as his parents.
However, when Ivan was thirteen years old, Stanley’s parents died, and when Ivan learned the news, he was so stimulated that he was hospitalized with a high fever and woke up in a coma in the hospital for several days. After waking up, Ivan's personality completely changed.
In one of the diaries, Ivan clearly said that he often had dreams about his aunt.
He missed his aunt so much that, this miss, gradually, turned sour.
So that was the real reason why Ivan fell in love with her aunt, just like George said.
"It's really sad ......" Violet sighed, and then continued to read.
The study.
After listening to Fraser's report, Stanley nodded, "Just do as you said, tell me immediately when the results come out, and if you complete the project well this time, I'll arrange for you to be decentralized after the year."
Fraser's eyes immediately lit up as he sniffed, "Thanks a lot, Mr. Murphy, I will definitely do my best to complete this project and won't let you down."
To be decentralized was his dream.
It was great to be an assistant to the president, but it was better to delegate to manage a subsidiary company and be the president of a subsidiary.
Stanley nodded, "Anything else?"
"Yes, but I'm not sure if I should say it." Fraser pushed his glasses and hesitated.
Stanley looked at him, "What?"
"It's about Ivan and Mrs. Murphy." Fraser replied.
Stanley narrowed his eyes, "Ivan and Violet?"
"Yes." Fraser nodded, "You said before that Ivan had those kinds of feelings for Mrs. Murphy, but today we learned that Ivan also had feeling for your mother, so I thought about it, but it was a surprise."
"What is it?" Stanley pursed his lips.
Indeed, it was Ivy who told him at first that Ivan liked Violet.
It was also true that he believed it because Ivan's attitude towards Violet was very special.
But now, he wasn't sure if Ivan liked Violet or not.
"It's Mrs. Murphy and your mother's eyes, don't you notice that their eyes are almost identical?" Fraser looked at Stanley and reminded.
He had never met Stanley's mother, who had died almost ten years ago.
