No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1457

"Yes. I'll meet you in the lobby," Ian replied immediately.

"Okay, I'm coming down," Eleanor answered just as promptly.

Ian hadn't noticed the blue tears phenomenon on the beach from a distance. At that moment, he simply thought Eleanor genuinely wanted to go for a walk.

Eleanor came downstairs to the living room, where Ian was waiting. "Let's go!" she said, her steps quick and eager as if she were in a hurry to get outside.

Ian quickly matched her pace. They crossed a hundred-meter-long viewing deck to reach the sand. It was only then that Ian saw the glowing blue waves.

He instantly understood why Eleanor had asked him out. She just wanted a companion to see the bioluminescent sea.

Sure enough, Eleanor made a beeline for the water's edge. In the moonlight, her long dress fluttered, making her look like an angel.

Ian followed behind, momentarily captivated.

Eleanor, completely forgetting the man behind her, was like a child who had discovered a fascinating new toy. She ran toward the shore, her eyes fixed on the dreamlike, fluorescent blue glow.

She stopped about a foot and a half from the water, breathing lightly, her gaze locked on the ethereal blue light that pulsed with the ebb and flow of the tide, as if enchanted.

"It's so beautiful," she murmured involuntarily.

Ian walked up to her side, also looking at the blue tears a few steps away. "It really is. I didn't expect to see this tonight."

"I know! It's such a rare sight," Eleanor said, delighted.

"So, you didn't ask me for a walk. You just wanted to use me as a bodyguard?" the man suddenly turned and said reproachfully.

Eleanor's excited expression froze for a few seconds. She turned to look at the man beside her. In the moonlight, his handsome face seemed to hold a hint of grievance.

Eleanor couldn't deny that she had just wanted to drag him along for company.

"Yes, I was a little scared to come alone, so—"

Ian's lips curved into an unconscious smile. "I'm honored."

When Eleanor looked at him again, the trace of resentment on his face had vanished, replaced by a gentle smile.
