After doing all this, she crept back to the bedroom.Ian slowly opened his eyes, touched the blanket on his body, and turned to look at the silhouette that was stepping into the bedroom.He was well aware of how much he had drunk. He did drink a lot, but he was not completely drunk. Moreover, he was an undercover agent and had taken up a lot of dangerous undercover missions back then, so he had always been a very light sleeper. He had already woken up when she opened the door and walked out of the room.Ian chuckled softly.He had wanted to see what she would do, but he was really surprised by her actions.The next day…Elaine slept until 8:00 a.m. and woke up on time. She washed up and walked out of the bedroom only to realize that the blanket and pillow were the only things left on the couch.“You’ve woken up.” Ian came out of the kitchen with breakfast.She was astonished and walked toward the dining table. The breakfast was simple but looked good and smelled delicious. “You

At that moment, Elaine was busy working on the software. After receiving the message, she flipped through her phone in her spare time half an hour later.[Isn’t this your fiance?][Do you know the woman your fiance is meeting behind your back?][!!!]A photo was attached.She tapped on the photo to view it—it was indeed Ian. He looked at the woman who had a gentle smile and was sitting across from him. She did not look as gentle as any ordinary woman. There was a hint of affection and tenderness that existed only between a couple mixed within her gentleness.Others might not recognize her, but Elaine could with only one glance.It was exactly as she had guessed.Elaine did not reply after reading it and turned off the screen of her phone.She thought she was a little ridiculous. It was made clear that they would not interfere with each other’s private life or do anything for each other, but she was still a little downcast when she saw this scene.She thought that the marriage

Ian thought that in return, he would give some shares to Elaine after taking down Synergy. Elaine wanted benefits, and he would give them without holding back. However, he forgot about one thing: ' feelings’.When people were bound by marriage, even if they didn’t love each other, they would develop feelings if they stayed together for too long.He hadn’t been too drunk the other night, so he clearly remembered what she had done.He had come across many women, so he could tell when they were genuine toward him.Elaine was more secretive and didn’t show much. He could see how she tried to distance herself, and she knew that what they had was ‘business’.Elaine looked down and understood what he meant. After a moment, she asked, “So, we can just stay engaged, can’t we?”Ian didn’t answer.Elaine looked calm. “Once you get what you want, we could just call off our engagement.”She thought that it would be simple for them to get married, but she was hesitating now that they wer

Elaine forced a smile. “I didn’t know that he had a blade.”She just didn’t want him to be hurt. Ian put pressure on her wound and cradled her in his arms. “Hang in there, Elaine, don’t fall asleep.”When the ambulance got there, Elaine was put on the stretcher and taken away. Ian’s hands were covered in her blood.Elaine had lost consciousness by the time she got to the hospital, and they had to send her to the ER.When Edward and Jenna received the news of the incident, they rushed over and saw Ian standing in the corridor. “Where’s Elaine? What happened?”“I’m sorry,” Ian looked down, “I dragged her into this.”Edward’s knees turned into jelly while he looked at the red light of the ER, looking worried. After two hours of surgery, the doctors exited the ER, and Edward immediately went forward to ask, “How’s my daughter?”The doctor removed his mask. “Are you a family member of Ms. Xavier?”“I’m her father.”He said in a heavy tone, “She’s safe, but the blade pierced too

“Let’s date.”“What!?”Elaine was stunned and thought her ears were playing tricks on her.Ian looked her in the eyes and repeated, “I said, let’s try to date.”Elaine was dumbfounded. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.‘Is there something wrong with his head?’However, she laughed as if she thought of something and said, “Is it because I took a stab for you, and you feel sorry for me?”Ian looked at her but did not say anything.Elaine shrugged and said frankly, “Honestly, you don’t have to do that. I pushed you away not because I want something back in return. It’s just a reflex action. You don't have to feel like you owe me anything.”She would rather not want it if he dated her because of guilt. After all, those feelings weren’t real. It was just a man’s “compensation” to a woman, and love starting out with “compensation” wouldn’t end well.Something flitted across Ian’s eyes as he continued. “I didn’t mean anything either.”She was stunned. “Are you sure abou
