Benedict felt flattered as he shook Hamish’s hand with his sweaty palm.
“No need to be nervous, Mr. Benedict. Please, have a seat and make yourself at home.” Hamish gestured for Benedict to sit on the sofa while instructing his assistant, “Make some tea, will you? Use the fresh batch of the tea that just arrived.”
“Right away, Mr. Hamish.”
Benedict felt uneasy but gathered his courage to ask, “Mr. Hamish, do you know my sister?”
“Of course I do. We’ve known each other a long time,” Hamish replied truthfully.
“So, um, what’s your relationship with her? Why are you taking such good care of me, Mr. Hamish?”
“Didn’t she tell you?” Hamish countered.
“N–No, Mr. Hamish, she didn’t tell me anything.” Benedict shook his head.
“In that case.” Hamish shrugged. “I won’t say much either. You can ask your sister about my relationship with her.”
Benedict wondered if Bonnie was fooling around. However, deep down, he felt she would not do such a thing. With Hamish being so attentive, Benedict would not believe it if his sister told him they were just ordinary friends.
“Let’s not dwell on that, Mr. Benedict. Your sister told me you enjoy designing. Is that correct?”
Hamish asked.
“Yes, indeed, I do.” Benedict nodded.

“Do you have any formal training in design?”
“No, Mr. Hamish. I just doodle around as a hobby at home whenever I get bored.”
“Do you have any samples I can look at?”
“Yes, I do.” Benedict handed over his prepared design drafts to Hamish.
After looking at them, Hamish’s eyes lit up. “You’re a talented young man. How about you follow me from now on? I’ll take you on as my apprentice and personally mentor you.”
Benedict was shocked beyond words. Although Hamish praised his talent, he had a realistic understanding of the world. Benedict knew there were many talented people in the world. Having Hamish as a personal mentor was a dream countless designers wished for.
Although Benedict had never received any formal training in design, Hamish was already offering to mentor him directly.
From that, Benedict deduced that his sister’s relationship with Hamish must be extraordinary. Benedict felt he needed to ask his sister about it.

That evening, Bonnie went to meet her foster parents for dinner. Even Ivor came along. Welma asked curiously, “Who’s that, Bonnie?”
Bonnie had a headache from when Ivor insisted on tagging along. Before she could say anything, Ivor took the initiative to introduce himself. “Mother, Father, here’s the gift I got you.”
Ivor had several shopping bags containing branded clothes, expensive wine, and more. These items cost millions collectively.
Welma and Gerald were shocked by Ivor’s form of address. The older couple turned to look at Bonnie,
who had a headache. She felt even more stressed now.
“B–Bonnie? He called us… He said…”
“Ignore him. Let him call you whatever he wants.” Bonnie glared at Ivor as she spoke.
Suddenly, Welma and Gerald guessed what was happening. They suspected Ivor was trying to pursue their foster daughter. However, they treated Ivor as their half–son–in–law since they thought Bonnie
did not dislike him.
“Okay, let’s not stand at the doorway. The dishes are on the table. Let’s eat before they get cold.” Welma said, thinking Ivor was pleasing to the eye. She added, “You’re quite the looker, young man. How old are you?”
