Chapter 753
Until the end of Joshua's birthday banquet, Kelly had not thought of a solution.
Kelly could not find a chance to meet lan alone, let alone explain.
Every day, when Kelly returned to East Court, she would stay in the guest room which was in the east. Ian's room was in the west. There were countless rooms and bodyguards between them. Fortunately, they were the only ones in East Court. The others in the Phil family had not noticed the abnormality here, so they treated Kelly well.
For some reason, Lucia did not reveal that Kelly did not get along with lan. Lucia only occasionally stopped Kelly and mocked her.
Kelly was not in the mood to care about Lucia. Her mind was filled with lan. She was thinking about how to resolve this matter and was about to explode.
For the past few days, Kelly had been suffering from insomnia and could not sleep at all.
She had heavy dark circles under her eyes, and she needed to use a thick layer of foundation to cover them up.
Today, most of the guests who came to the Phil family had left. Those who still lived in the Phil family's residence were all its family members, as well as people who were close to lan. Joshua was very happy. He said that he wanted to hold a small family banquet.
Hence, Kelly woke up early in the morning.
Just as Kelly sat up, her phone rang. A message came in. It was from Elena.
[Kelly, how is it? Did you resolve the misunderstanding with Mr. Walter?]
Kelly picked up her phone and took a look. Her eyes started to sting.

Kelly felt that lam would never forgive her.
Kelly raised her hand to wipe her tears and replied word by word, [Don't worry. It's just a small matter. It's been resolved long ago.]
After replying, Kelly slid down the bed with a helpless expression.
Kelly wondered, 'I am such a big bastard! I am so smug and proud! Now I have lost everything. I deserve it!'
There was nothing in this world that would never change just like the human heart, which was the strongest and most fragile.
lan had always been wary and distrustful of others. After this incident, he would probably close his heart forever and not allow anyone else to enter.
Kelly pulled her hair in frustration. After washing up, she went to the door to wait for lan.
In the past few days, Kelly had realized something.
Perhaps because of Joshua, lan did not mention divorce again. In front of outsiders, lan would cooperate and go with Kelly.
However, only Kelly knew the distance and indifference between them.
After Kelly waited at the door for a while, lan finally came over.
Kelly looked at lan and smiled. Then she carefully leaned over to walk beside him.
However, sensing Kelly's little movement, lan glanced at her coldly. His gaze was bone-chilling.
At that, Kelly felt a chill down her spine. She subconsciously distanced herself from him.
Kelly knew lan probably did not want to be with her.
Kelly was worried that lan would get angry. She quickly explained, "Don't be angry. I'll stay away from you. It's just that Grandpa said that there's a gathering today. I'm worried that Grandpa will notice something amiss."

To show her sincerity, Kelly held up three fingers. "I swear. I swear I won't get too close to you."

As she spoke, Kelly took another three steps to the side to distance herself.
At this moment, the distance between Kelly and lan was already a lot wider. It would not be a problem to stand two more people in the middle. Kelly heaved a long sigh of relief. She thought that lan would not be angry
anymore.
Kelly quietly looked up, but she did not expect lan to have a dark expression. Ian glared at her coldly and turned to leave quickly.
Kelly was stunned for a moment before quickly catching up.
Kelly felt terrible. 'Does lan hate me so much? I am already so far away from him. Why is he still angry?'
