The hidden heir of Wayne One ninety four: Cat out of the bag
The table was quiet for a few seconds before Janet spoke up again. “Babe, you don't have to be so nice to him because he is your father in law, he came here for business so consider his proposal like a wise man would and give your feedback according to how you really feel… honestly, okay?” Her thin brow arched slightly as she spoke. “To be frank with you,” Mr Banks started out as well. “I would like it if you could consider your wife's words. Don't accept it if you don't have faith in me or what I plan to do.”“Oh but Dad, I do have faith in you.” Ivan said with a slight smile plastered on his face. “Honestly, I do. Which is why I gave you the option I did. After thorough consideration and strategizing, if you still feel confident in doing this then it is a must we give it a try. “But of course, I won't advise to start on a grand scale, we'll start it small just to test our boat over the lake. If it happens to sail very well on top of the lake then we can try bigger waters.” Mr Ban
The hidden heir of Wayne One ninety five: Adopt a baby
Ivan cleared his throat loudly as he raised the glass of water back to his mouth and took a big gulp. Rather emptied it at once in his mouth. One of the maids hurried forward and filled it back up for him then stepped back as soon as she had come forward. Mrs Banks looked back at her daughter with a confused look on her face. “Wha– what do you mean by that?” Janet cleared her throat as she sat up in her seat. “What I meant was… I… cherish his body too much and even though I have been enjoying his body for so long, it still feels like I just gained access to his body just recently. I mean… Do you understand what I mean?” She asked nervously. The silence lasted for about a minute more before Mrs Banks broke into a sudden guffaw. She jokingly punched her daughter's forearm, “oh you silly little thing!” She exclaimed while laughing out loud. Janet let out a laugh out of awkwardness while rubbing her aching hand. “Yeah, you get it now don't you?” She asked, just to be sure that her wo
The hidden heir of Wayne One ninety six: All at once
Ivan felt like a hand was holding his throat tightly as he found it hard to swallow. He had never expected such an advice from his mother in law or from anyone at all. He didn't know how to even react to what they had just said to him and he knew that Janet was probably feeling the same way. Drawn out of his thoughts by the sound of a chair being moved back, he saw his wife storming out of the dining room. “Janet come back!” Her mother called out to her in a stern voice but Janet didn't even stop to look back. Mrs Banks turned to look at Ivan. “Ivan, my Darling, please, you have to hear me out first before making a decision.”“I– I know and I will but I– I have to go check on her for now, she probably doesn't want to be alone right now.” Ivan responded, feeling confused. He didn't even know how to react at the moment. He wanted to stand up to join his wife but he felt his feet glued to the ground for some reason. Why did something like that have such an effect on him? It wasn't
The hidden heir of Wayne One ninety seven: A risk worth taking?
The relaxing aroma of freshly brewed coffee caressed Janet's nose as she raised the cup to her face. She took a sip from the coffee and let out a sigh of relief. The pleasing feeling slid down her throat and she felt more relaxed than before. The warmth of the cup burnt against the palm of her hands and made her feel comforted.“Are you feeling any better?” Ivan asked her in a soft tone and she nodded her head. He placed his hand on hers and squeezed it gently in an attempt to comfort her. All through the time he was still married to Vienna, he knew Janet was in pain just watching them but she never showed it to anyone when she was hurt.And he remembered clearly that her brother said she never showed her pain to anyone. She relied on no one else but herself. He promises himself that he would become a person she could rely on and show her pain to though he was worried thinking about how hard it might be for it to work out. He never actually knew that he didn't have to do much. Al
The hidden heir of Wayne One ninety eight: A proper discussion
Ivan was left feeling confused after his wife mentioned his own issue and what the general public might think. She was right in every way and Alfred had warned him before that the slightest mistake from him could cause everything that his ascendants had built to crumble like it was nothing but dust from the start. He let out a sigh. Turning to face his wife, he took her hands in his and forced a smile to his face. “Jane, Darling, I want you to know that only what you feel about this is important. The public can say whatever they want about me, I don't care, this is my personal life and I will live it how I see fit.“But only if you want to do this will I make the move. Don't think about me and how it would affect me in any way, just think about yourself and if it's what you want, I'll do it without thinking twice about it.” “But Ivan–”“You're my wife, not them. I'm talking about adopting a kid here and not opening up a new business or trying to get a partnership with another comp
The hidden heir of Wayne One ninety nine: Let's do it!
“Haven't you been trying?” Her mother asked her. “I didn't ask you because I knew it would hurt you. I was trying to avoid getting you hurt–”“And so you chose to ridicule me in front of the entire kitchen crew and security team.” Janet cut her mother off. “What is so shameful about adoption? When your husband was still married to his ex wife, he took her son in and raised him like his own.”“That is different! The boy belonged to his wife! What was he supposed to do? Get married to her and throw her son away?” Janet squinted her eyes as she spat out. “Can we just calm down?” Ivan interfered in a tone that was obvious he was trying to sound calm but he was already getting angry. “There is no reason for us to bring up my ex wife and her son. Janet is right, it is a completely different scenario but that's not what's important here.”Janet scoffed silently as she folded her arms below her breast. Ivan continued. “We are all adults here, there is no reason for us to be bickering and f
The hidden heir of Wayne Two hundred: Final decision
All eyes stared surprisedly at her. Ivan couldn't hide the shock he was in as his eyes widened and his jaw fell open. “What do you… I mean… how do you… why?” Ivan stuttered as he tried to ask her a question. He shook his head. “What I meant to say is… why the sudden change of heart? I haven't lost hope in you. Honestly I believe that you can do this, I believe WE can do this so why do you want to adopt?” She smiled. A soft and gentle smile as her gaze fell to her plate. Then she looked up at him to meet his gaze. “I know, I know you have hope in me and I know you all want to support me and make me give it a try, believe me I want to do the same as well. I want to trust myself too, no, I do trust myself, what I mean is…“There's nothing wrong in adopting one or two and even if I later have a child of my own, it's never too much. As you both know, mom and dad, I love children more than anything in this world and I have always wanted to have about four of them.” She said with a soft c
The hidden heir of Wayne Two hundred and one: The plan
They were all surprised by Ivan's response. They all wondered if he was being sarcastic or if he was really being serious. But he didn't seem to be smiling at all, plus there wasn't even a hint of sarcasm in his tone. “Wait,” Janet spoke up. “You are being serious right now?” Her thin brow arched slightly as she asked. Ivan nodded his head. “Of course I'm being serious, there's nothing else we can do anyway. My late step mom used to tell me that there is nothing more to do when you feel stuck, for example in a situation like ours, than to tell the truth. It will surprisingly be the best solution for everything.”Janet let out a soft yet confused chuckle. “Wait, I don't mean to go against what my late mother in law said but… telling the truth? Ivan, this could ruin your entire career if we are not being careful and thoughtful!”“And if I may ask, how?” Ivan plainly asked. “I don't know but… you know very well that this could hurt your image.” “As a matter of fact, I don't know if i
