Chapter 1501
After taking a shower, Elaine walked out of the bathroom.
She had prepared a few sets of lingerie, but she didn’t dare put them on after tonight and just chose a loose T-shirt
that covered her thighs.
She walked down and saw lan going through some documents on the couch.
“You’re still awake.” She walked over.
lan looked up at her and placed the documents on the table. “Can you sign here, please?”
She sat down on the couch and took the documents. It was the agreement to receive 5% of shares from Synergy

He smiled. “That’s no longer the case.”

“Do you remember the manager who you spoke to at the restaurant?’

I have my own wife, I wouldn’t want her to suffer through that either.”
Thus, he wasn’t repulsed when he found out that Elaine might be barren, even though he felt sorry for her.
He felt sorry because he was the cause of her infertility. If someone else wasn’t able to accept her, he would

compensation.”
“lan-” He kissed her lips.
lan carried her into the room while they were still locked in a kiss and gave her an unforgettable experience.
The night grew dark outside the window. It was silent outside.
He hugged the sleeping beauty until the waves calmed and kissed her forehead.

lan slowly opened his eyes, but the space next to him was empty.
He put on his clothes and went downstairs. He saw Elaine standing in the kitchen and watching a cooking tutorial
while she made breakfast.
