“Why aren’t you using the nket,” Iris said, reaching out to cover bhim /bwith it.

But I was stopped by Aedan.

“No need, just like this.”

Aedany on his side facing her, reached out over the nket and gently pulled her into his arms, “Don’t worry, I’m healthy, I won’t catch a cold.”

Iris smiled, “Then at least take a nket.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Aedan got out of bed to grab a nket,y back down, turned off the light, and then gently pulled Iris into his arms again.

The bedroom suddenly went dark, and I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face.

“When you just became my advisor, everyone said I only became your student because I got into your bed and seduced you.”

Iris said softly, with a bit of a smile.

Aedan smiled, “Then they were all wrong. Actually, I was the one who climbed into your bed.”

Iris was quiet for a few seconds and asked, “Prof. Steele, have you ever liked a girl?”

“Yes, you.” Aedan answered directly.

“You really never liked any other women before?” she still asked.

Aedan chuckled, “Yeah, there wasn’t.

“Alright!”

“What’s wrong, disappointed?”

“Not really.” Iris shook her head. “I just felt it was a bit of a pity that you never really had a proper rtionship before.”

“Not a pity.”

In the dark, Aedan’s lips found Iris’s forehead and pressed a gentle kiss there. Then he said, “Right now with you, it’s just perfect.”

In the second half of the night, Iris slept well.

When I woke up, it was almost nine in the morning.

Aedan was already gone, and there was no warmth left where he had slept. Only his pillow still had a faint, fresh scent that belonged to hi

Right then, he was just wearing a in white shirt and ck bpants/b. standing on the balcony with his phone, making a call.

He was tall and straight, and even just his back looked gentle and smooth like jade, really pleasing to the eye.

“Ms. Aguilera, Sir Hale came, he was waiting downstairs in the lobby, said he wanted to see you.” Laurel walked over and whispered to Iris.

“When did hee?” Iris asked.

“Eight o’clock in the morning.”

That is to say, Charlie had been waiting downstairs for over an hour.

Iris nodded and asked again, “How was Heriberto?”

“In the ICU, still not awake,” Laurel answered.

Iris lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, “Let Sir Halee up.i” /i

“Yes.”

When Laurel turned to leave, Aedan just hung up the phone and walked in from the balcony. He asked Iris, “Do you want me to step out?”

Iris shook her head, reached out to grab his hand and said, “Youe with me.”
