Heaven Domain (Iwan Cliff) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Is It Related to Iwan?

An hour ago when Iwan finished the call, he looked around for Emily downstairs in the hall where Emily was nowhere to be seen. He thought Jacey must have taken Emily somewhere else, so he went to the surrounding area.

It took him some time to find Jacey and Emily in front of a store behind the hotel where Emily was enjoying an ice cream Jacey had bought. It seemed that Jacey liked Emily very much. Seeing that, Iwan walked over.

"Jacey," Iwan called her with a smile.

Jacey nodded at Iwan, saying, "Hi, Iwan. I'm sorry for what my parents said. They just can't bear to see my sister suffer. Although they have been worried about her as a single mother over the past few years, they are just too stubborn to show their care for her and so are my sister."

Iwan nodded. "Don't worry. I won't take their words seriously. It's my fault for being back too late to prevent Jayna and Emily from suffering. Since I'm back, I won't leave them alone again. I've been ready to take good care of them. But I'd like you to help me convince your parents to allow me to take my time. I'll prove myself to be a good husband to them."

Jacey breathed deeply before nodding and saying, "I believe you, Iwan."

Iwan was stunned and looked at her in confusion. "Do you believe me?"

Jacey nodded. "Yes. I can feel your genuine affection and concern for my sister and Emily, which I believe matters more than wealth or a decent job. Besides, my sister isn't that materialistic. So she'll be happy as long as you're nice to her."

Hearing that, Iwan was so touched. He nodded and then fell silent as her words impressed themselves on his memory.

"Dad, do you want ice cream? Aunt Jacey bought it for me and it's very delicious. Just have a taste of it." Emily handed the ice cream joyfully to Iwan who took her from Jacey's arms, tasted it with a laugh, and said, "Wow, it's so sweet. But I've got an upset stomach, so just enjoy it yourself."

Emily nodded and buried herself in the ice cream. Since this was a rare feast for her, she ate very slowly.

Just as Iwan wanted to talk to Emily, a stylish woman walked over, stopped at Jacey's side, and glanced at her, saying, "Jacey, are you still in a mood for a chat here? Have you gotten the offer from the department of Mellon Group where you worked as an intern since you're graduating next month?"

Jacey's face darkened and she talked back, "It has nothing to do with you. Autumn Isbell, just mind your own business."

The girl called Autumn Isbell said arrogantly, "Jacey, stop daydreaming about the offer. This is the price you have to pay for offending Mr. Piper. You deserve it! What good news it is! By the way, I've got my offer. So you'd better be ready to look for another job one month later."

"Autumn, shut up!" Jacey was instantly furious and shouted at her. But Autumn ignored her and turned to leave without staying any longer.

"What's wrong, Jacey? Do you want to land a job in Mellon Group?" Iwan asked.

"Shame on you! I know how you hooked Mr. Piper. You're so shameless! I will disdain to receive an offer from such a filthy company!" Jacey shouted angrily, clenching her fists.

Then she looked at Iwan and took a deep breath to calm herself down. "I'm good, Iwan. That girl is my college classmate who has been finding fault with me. When we spent the internship together at Mellon Group last year, she always tripped me up and even hooked the director in charge of interns. Well, it seems that I have no chance of getting an offer from Mellon Group. But I'm just so disgusted at her flamboyant style. Iwan, is it inevitable to deal with those boring people at the workplace?"

Seeing Jacey's frustrated expression, Iwan smiled and comforted her. "Not necessarily. I heard of Mellon Group, only second to Cleveland Group among the big companies in Pasoland City. Given that such a top company tends to have a good reputation, I think the director and that girl called Autumn you are talking about are only a few exceptions."

Jacey nodded, somewhat upset. "Alas, I know. But I can do nothing with them since I'm just a nobody. It seems that I won't get the offer according to what Autumn said just now. Actually, I prefer Mellon Group to Cleveland Group. What a shame I can't work there."

Iwan smiled, saying, "Don't despair, Jacey. Anything is possible. Maybe you'll get an offer soon."

Jacey smiled carelessly. "It's no big deal, Iwan. Could you stay here to watch Emily while I go upstairs to see how their conversation goes? I need to check on my sister since Krista has always found fault with her since she was a kid."

Iwan nodded in agreement. "Alright. Just go ahead."
