Chapter 1460

Elaine turned her head around to look at Ian, who was talking with Nolan right now, and pressed her
lips.

Lucy came up to her and said, "Eli."

She turned around and replied, "Yeah?"

After Lucy whispered something into her ear, Elaine put the glass on the table and exited the banquet
hall with her.

Maisie stood at her spot as she watched them exit the hall.

On the balcony, Elaine stood behind a flower pot covering half of her body.

"Let me guess.You’re going to talk me out of this again, are you?"

"I just think you've made a rash decision.Are you sure you won't regret it?"

Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Elaine said, "Even if I’m going to regret it, it’s my own
business."

Lucy lowered her head and said, "I know.I know I shouldn’t say something like this to you at your
engagement ceremony.Even though we’re not related by blood, you’re still my sister.I truly hope that
you can find your happiness."

Elaine remained silent.

"Eli, I know you're just having a marriage of convenience with him, but are you sure you're not going to
fall for him?"

"Huh?"



Elaine looked at her in surprise, "What are you talking about?"

‘Fall in love with him? Are you kidding me?’ Lucy continued helplessly.

"Initially, I believed that you wouldn’t either.But after seeing Mr.Saldana tonight, I just realized that he’s
exactly your type."

Elaine liked mature and well-mannered men, and Ian was exactly the type of man she was looking for.

Therefore, Lucy did not believe that Elaine wouldn’t fall for Ian.

Elaine suddenly let out a laugh.

After a short while, she said in a serious voice, "Girl, do you think I’m that kind of shallow woman? Yes,
you're right.I like mature and well-mannered men, but even if he’s my type, it doesn’t mean I will fall in
love with him, okay? I'm still sober enough to differentiate what's real and what's not."

She liked good-looking men and was certain that no woman wouldn’t fall for a mature and well-
mannered man.

However, she was not someone who put all eggs in one basket.

Besides, she was very well aware that everything happening right now was fake.

There was n o way she would fall in love with Ian, and it was the same for Ian.

Therefore, why would she invite trouble to herself? Lucy took a deep breath and said, "Alright then.I
have nothing else to say."

After that, Lucy left the balcony, leaving Elaine alone.She placed her hands on the handrailing and
looked toward the sky garden through the window.



Nobody knew what she was thinking right now.

She had to admit that Ian was the type of man she liked.She also did not have the confidence that
nothing would not happen between them after some time.

However, one thing she knew was that if she ever fell i n love with Ian, it would be like falling into an
abyss.She stayed on the balcony for a while before returning to the banquet hall.

Ian had been clinking glasses with people who came t o congratulate him.

Even though he had been drinking a lot of wine, he looked perfectly fine.

After the ceremony ended, a few people brought Ian into the car.

He leaned back in the back seat and loosened two buttons on his collars.He tilted his head back and
rubbed his nose with his hands.

Edward asked Elaine to send him home.

After all, she was his "fiancee" right now, so she had to take care of him.

She entered the driving seat, and the entire car reeked of booze.

She looked at him through the rear mirror and asked, "Where do you live?"

Ian looked at her through the slits of his fingers and said, "Northbay Avenue, Southpark, Building
No.22."

South Park in Northbay Avenue was a townhouse district.

It was considered an old town.It was far from downtown and close to the suburbs.



However, it was quiet and not as noisy as downtown.

Elaine drove the car toward Northbay Avenue.

None of them talked to each other throughout the journey.

The car was dark, and she couldn’t see Ian’s face clearly through the rear mirror.

‘So, you'll get drunk as well.I thought you could hold your liquor very well."

‘I can only drink occasionally," he replied, his voice leep.

She licked her parched lips and asked, "Is there something bothering you?"
