Chapter 1489

Elaine looked at Ian from the corner of her eyes and saw that he unbuttoned two buttons and lowered
the window down more.

The breeze that blew in messed up his dark hair.

Ian was holding back more than her.

Elaine bit her lip.

"Are you not interested in me?" Ian paused and turned to look at her.

"What do you mean?"

Elaine looked down.She didn’t think she needed to be shy because she was no longer a little girl.

"You kissed me because you wanted to confirm our relationship, but if you’re not interested in me, I
don’t think we should get married because I can’t be sleeping in the same bed with my husband and
doing nothing."

After Elaine said that, she sounded as if she was more excited than he was? Ian was quiet for a
moment, then laughed.

His laughter was clear in the quiet carriage.

Elaine glared at him.

"Why are you laughing?"

He was still laughing.

"You meant interest in that way."



After he said that, his eyes fixed on her face.

"I’m a normal man.What do you think?"

It meant that he had intentions.

While she zoned out a little, Ian’s hand brushed her cheek, and his eyes filled with desire when he
looked a t her, but deep inside, there was a glimpse of loneliness.

He ran his finger across the corner of her lips.

"I don’t want you to think that you’re the same as the rest of the women."

They were different.

She was clean and innocent, while he was dark and dirty.

He had to work with greedy women like his mother because of his missions and had to pretend and
use them.

He didn’t feel sorry for them because they would do anything just to get riches and benefits.

All those years when he was undercover, he had seen what was hidden in the corners of the beautiful
world.

The men would do whatever they wanted when they had status and power and treated women like toys
and tools.

However, the women enjoyed being tamed by money and sacrificed everything to get that in return.

He had tried to bring the women struggling in the dark crevices to light after his missions, but they
would fall back into their old habits.



They were used t o sacrificing something to get what they wanted.

That was why he never felt sorry for the women he manipulated.

Elaine was surprised.

After a long time, she looked at him and slowly said, "Can I ask about you and Mrs.Boucher?"

Ian froze.

Elaine looked down.

"I just wanted to understand more.It’s alright if you don’t feel like talking.I won’t force it."

Ian leaned back into his seat and looked into the bright lights from the buildings.

"We...never had a thing."

Elaine was startled.

"Because of who you were?"

He nodded.

"On top of that, she was also the daughter of my mentor, Michael Chase."

Elaine leaned in closer and asked, "But if you both had feelings for each other, couldn’t you overcome
all the obstacles? Why didn’t you end up together?"

Ian fell silent for some time, his eyes glistening.



"Just because we had feelings for each other doesn’t mean we would end up together.We missed our
chance, and it was meant to be that way."

"Let me tell you a story."

Before that, he had been undercover carrying out a secret mission.

He met Barbara, and they fell for each other but never crossed that line because of who they both
were.
