Chapter 1463
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.

looked good and smelled delicious. “Your cooking skills are quite up there, huh?”
Ian pulled out a chair. “After living by myself for such a long time, honing a few cooking skills was a necessity.”
She sat down. “Are you sober?”
“I’m not even hung-over.” Ian sat across from her and started buttering his toast slowly. “Did you sleep well last
night?”
“It’s quite okay.” Elaine lowered her head and tasted the sausage on the plate.
Ian placed the buttered toast on the plate in front of her. “Howls it?”
She nodded.
‘To be honest, this is delicious.’
He chuckled. “Take this as an appreciation for bringing me a blanket and pillow.”
Elaine’s eyes shifted away as she explained, “It’s just that I felt bad for occupying your bed for the night.”
She had no other intentions. Making a drunk man sleep on the couch made her feel guilty.
“You’re a very kind lady.”
“Are you complimenting me?” Elaine bit her fork, she did not seem to have done anything.
Ian smiled and said nothing.
After breakfast, he asked her to wait in the living room, changed into a new set of clothes in the bedroom, and sent
her back.
Elaine was still wearing last night’s evening dress. Ever since the arrival of autumn, the breeze was freezing in the
morning, and she could not help but shiver a little.
She walked to the front of the car and was about to open the door when Ian draped his coat over her shoulders,
and his fingertips touched her skin inadvertently.
There were some calluses on his hands. They were not very rough, and they scraped lightly across her skin like fine
sand, but the friction on the skin was enough to light a fire in the heart.
She was lost in her thoughts for a while as if the world was standing still.
However, Ian acted very openly. He knew how to grasp the sense of proportion and
appropriation, so even when he made such a move, it would not feel like he was
overstepping but felt like he did so out of a gentleman’s courtesy. “You should put it on
first.”
He then retracted his hand and walked around the car to the driver’s seat.
She was dumbfounded for a few seconds before regaining her senses, she got into the
front passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and said, “Thank you.”
He turned to look at her. “You’re welcome.”
Elaine tried to calm down the throbbing in her heart that was about to spread like

T have to admit that Ian’s charm is prominent, especially his sense of proportion.
‘Usually, the more obvious a man’s purpose is, and the more disrespectful a man is,
the more likely he’ll arouse the disgust of a woman. That’s because the woman would
be able to guess what he’s thinking at once.
‘On the contrary, the more a man can keep his impulse under control and restrain
himself, the more a woman will feel a sense of security and dependency when she’s
around him. This trait is even more obvious when it comes to Ian, a man who keeps all
his secrets to himself and acts mysteriously all the time.
‘If all of these were part of his act, I can only admit that his acting skills are so good
that he can make fake scenes look real and that I definitely won’t be able to go against
him when it comes to cheating one another.’
Ian sent her back to Xavier mansion, and she returned the jacket to him before she got
out of the car. “Thank you, Mr. Saldana.”
He paused for a moment before grabbing his coat. “ Ms. Xavier, you’re truly a courtesy
enthusiast.”
