Meeting her.
3rd pov
Ian was so happy that he had finally gained his title of nobility and the first thing he wanted to do was to go and meet his family. He wanted to hug Cassius and show him the royal decree and wanted to apologise to Marianne once again, the lady was like his elder sister, someone who pinched his ears and guided him.
A smile bloomed on his lips as he continued to think about their reactions when they would see him after a long time. He was anticipating a lot of hugs and long conversation with Cassius and having a meal with Killian, who was like a son to him too.
He did not know how he had spent a whole month without them. With those relatives of his who were no less than the hawks waiting for Ohm to make one mistake, so that they could find a chance to disown him from their family. Like he cared! If not for the pressure from Cassius and the punishment of Marianne, he would not even have tried to get back the title which he had never taken as his.
