Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 214

Chapter214

Iris glanced at the big hand holding her wrist.

A very beautiful hand, fair and clean, with slender fingers and elegant joints, it’s a hand that can set one’s imagination running wild.

She let Acdan pull her out of the study room, then said, “I’ll lock the door.”

“I’ll do it,” Acdan said, naturally letting go of her hand, taking out the keys from his pocket, and locking the door to the lab.

“What do you want to eat?” he asked Iris.

Iris glanced at the time.

It was already after nine o’clock at night.

At this time, Zeke and Bella were both asleep.

“I can do it all,” she said.

“Nearby?” Aedan said.

Iris had no objections.

Two people went to a nearby restaurant.

We were chatting about the experiment all the time.

Aedan was so knowledgeable and well–versed in his field, Iris felt like she could never get enough from him.

No matter what questions or doubts she had, as long as she asked

Aedan, he would always answer them seriously and help her understand.

“Prof. Steele, have you ever thought about going back to Beachbourne to develop?”

When they were almost finished eating, Iris suddenly changed the subject and asked.

Aedan put down his knife and fork, grabbed a napkin to wipe his mouth, looked up at Iris across from him, and then asked, “Why do you ask like that?”

Iris laughed, “Just asking casually.”

“Will you go back to your country after graduation?” Aedan would ask her.

“We don’t know yet,” Iris said.

She really didn’t know.

She didn’t have much to worry about back home, whether to come back or not, it didn’t matter to her.

“If you go back to your country, I will seriously consider your proposal,” Aedan said.

Iris didn’t quite understand what he meant.

Aedan explained, “You forgot, you once invited me to be a special consultant for Powell Pharmaceuticals, and I set the terms.”

Iris smirked and said, “I can’t believe I have such a big ego.”

“Yeah, you do.” To everyone’s surprise, Aedan actually gave her a positive answer without hesitation.

Iris looked at him, and then she was kind of stunned

She was not a naive girl with her first crush, she could sense the little feelings and ambiguities between men and women more quickly than most people.

“Are you full?” Acdan suddenly changed the subject. “If you’re full. I’ll take you home.”

Iris nodded.

Aedan called the waiter to pay the bill.

Before, whenever the two of them went out to eat, it was always Aedan who picked up the tab.

This time, Iris took out her own credit card and handed it to the waiter first.

Aedan paused his wallet and looked at her.

Iris smiled at him and said, “Can I sometimes pick up the tab as your investor?”

Aedan smirked, clipped the money he had just taken out, and put back, without arguing with her.

“It’s getting late, Prof. Steele. You should go back and rest early,” Iris didn’t intend to let him send her, so she told him directly after coming out of the restaurant.

On the side, Laurel was standing in front of a black van, waiting for

Iris.

Aedan didn’t insist, nodded, and said, “Maybe when we’re alone, you don’t have to call me Prof. Steele.”

Iris raised an eyebrow, “What’s that called?”

Acdan sighed and smiled, “You can just call me by my name.”

Iris pursed her lips and thought for a moment, “I still think calling him Prof. Steele is more appropriate.”

She waved to Acdan, saying, “I’m off, goodnight Prof. Steele.”
