The Three Little Guardian Angels
Chapter 1471

"Let's date."

"What!?"

Elaine was stunned and thought her ears were playing tricks on her.

lan 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?"

lan 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 lan's eyes as he continued.

"I didn't mean anything either."

She was stunned.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yeah. Do you want to try it?" he asked.

"Mr.Saldana-"

"Call my name."

Elaine opened her mouth and called his name after a short bout of hesitation, "lan."

He pressed his lips and smiled.

"Yeah."

Elaine momentarily felt they were a real couple upon looking at his smile.

lan placed his hand on the back of hers.

She was stunned but clenched her hand into a fist instead of pulling it out. She could feel his temperature through the back of her hand, and her palm was sweating.

If this went on, she was certain it would only be a matter of time before something happened to her heart.

She pressed her lips thin, and something crossed her mind.

"Don't you have something to do in Hewston?"

"I'm postponing it for two days," he replied, "I'll stay by your side to keep you company."

Elaine quickly averted her gaze and smiled.

"Honestly, you don't have to do that at all."

He chuckled and said, "You're my fiance, so of course, I have to stay back and take care of you."

She did not say anything anymore. She was a bit uncomfortable with such a great improvement in their relationship.

When Lucy returned to the ward, she noticed Elaine was in a good mood. She did not mention anything else as a good mood was required for fast recovery. She did not want her sister to suffer another blow because of this incident.

lan stayed at the hospital, taking care of Elaine for two days straight.

Even Edward had grown to like him even more.

On the other hand, Elaine felt embarrassed.

After all, he had to carry her to the restroom and would hold her hand whenever she was sleeping.

Every morning, he would go back home and prepare breakfast for her. He slept later than her, but he woke up earlier than her.

It was very hard for her not to fall in love with him, considering how well he took care of her.

Juan had been urging lan to go to Hewston.

Before he left, he came to the hospital and kept her company for a little longer.

"Be careful when you're in Hewston."

Elaine did not want him to get injured.

lan chuckled and said, "Don't worry.I will."

After that, he rose to his feet.

"Feel free to contact me by cell phone when I get there."

"I'm sure you'll be busy. I'm not going to bother you,"

Elaine said with a pout.

"Nope. Even though I'm busy, I still can find time to talk to you," he said, stumping Elaine.

A few ripples were raised as if a stone had fallen into a lake.

After that, lan departed for Hewston. He had only left not long ago, and Elaine felt something was missing in the ward. At Blackgold...

Quincy told Nolan that lan had departed for Hewston.

"It seems like that old sly fox Juan is going to make lan his scapegoat."

The police had been investigating the things happening in Hewston.

Most of the shareholders had withdrawn their shares overnight for fear of being dragged into the troubled waters.

Nobody was going to take over the hot potato now.

If he transferred the shares in Hewston to lan, the latter would be the person in charge.

If the higher-ups there wanted to investigate anything, they would only turn their target toward lan.
