Chapter 1415

Eleanor headed for the elevator first. Ian wrapped the towel around his waist and followed her.

When the elevator doors closed, the mirrored walls reflected the man's physique, clad only in the towel.

It wasn't as if they were teenagers. After six years of marriage, it wasn't as if she hadn't seen it all before.

Still, she lowered her gaze, instinctively looking away.

lan watched her reaction in the reflection. He saw that although her eyes were downcast, from his angle, he could see her earlobes flush a faint red.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Eleanor asked, "Which room is Evelyn in?" lan gave her the room number, and Eleanor walked quickly in that direction.

Twenty minutes later, Eleanor and Serena were with Evelyn in the restaurant. The little girl was hungry.

Just as they finished ordering, lan arrived. He had changed into a set of casual clothes, which gave him a softer, more gentle air. Serena was sitting next to Evelyn, so he naturally pulled out the chair beside Eleanor and sat down.

"lan, are you two going to look at houses tomorrow?" Serena asked.

"Yes."

"Mom's idea is that you should look for two places, since we're planning to move over, too. It'll be easier to help with Evelyn," Serena said.

lan nodded. "I know."

Eleanor blinked and looked at lan. "Does your grandmother approve? After all, she really likes the house you're living in now."

"Grandma is all for it. She said you'll be busy with work in the future, and if we live closer, it'll be more convenient for us to help with Evelyn," Serena said with a smile.

Eleanor didn't know what to say, but she felt a wave of gratitude. While her upcoming research wasn't on a tight deadline, there would be times when things got busy, and she would definitely need a helping hand.

"Don't feel pressured. Grandma is very supportive of your career," lan said in a low voice.

"Thank you," Eleanor said softly.

"You don't have to thank us. Taking care of Evelyn is our responsibility too," lan said, his gaze deep as he looked at her.

After their meal, Eleanor and lan took their daughter home, while Serena went off to handle her own affairs.

That evening, lan had dinner at Eleanor's place. Joslyn had started buying extra groceries each day, knowing that there might be an extra person for dinner at any time.

lan took his daughter down to his apartment and played with her until nine-thirty before bringing her back up. Eleanor had just finished her work for the day.

Evelyn ran into the living room, her little face beaming with happiness. Eleanor could see that with lan spending more time with her lately, her daughter had become noticeably more cheerful.

Looking at the sparkle in her daughter's eyes, Eleanor had to admit that there was a special kind of bond only a father could provide, and fan was filling that void perfectly

"Daddy, stay a little longer! I want you to sit with me and play 'spot the difference,' okay?" Evelyn pleaded, tugging on lan's large hand, not wanting him to leave.

Seeing how late it was, Eleanor walked over. "Mommy can play with you now."

"But I want Daddy to play with me too," Evelyn pouted.

"Alright, Daddy will stay a little longer," lan said, lovingly ruffling her hair.

lan sat on the sofa with his daughter in his lap, holding a children's 'spot the

difference' picture book. Every time Evelyn found a difference, she would giggle with delight.

"Daddy, aren't I smart?"

"Very smart," lan praised with a low laugh.

Joslyn, who was tidying up the

house, couldn't help but smile at the

scene. It was as if they had gone back in time a few years to when tiny Evelyn would sit in lan's lap white he patiently played with her.

If only things could always be like this, she thought.
