Chapter 1093
Eleanor was about to reach for one when lan took a shrimp. “Daddy will peel it for you p>
Evelyn nodded happily. “Daddy, you have to peel one for Mommy too! Mommy always used to peel them for us p>
Eleanor froze for a second, then said to her daughter, “Evelyn, you go ahead and eat p>
lan skillfully peeled a shrimp and put it in his daughter’s bowl. He continued peeling, and after the fourth one, Evelyn took a shrimp from her bowl and put it in Eleanor’s. “Mommy, you told me shrimp is very nutritious, so you have to eat some too p>
Serena watched from the side, and Magdalen was also looking on expectantly. Eleanor stared at the two shrimp in her bowl, momentarily stunned.
“Mommy, eat it!” Evelyn urged, holding a shrimp in her own hand while her big eyes watched to make sure Eleanor ate hers.
Eleanor picked up the shrimp with her fork and gently took a bite.
Across the table, the man’s hands paused for a few seconds. Magdalen couldn’t help but look pleased.
Only Serena felt a heaviness in her heart; Eleanor eating the shrimp lan peeled didn’t mean anything anymore.
The meal still had a certain warmth to it. Ian didn’t say much, but he made sure everyone was served.
After dinner, lan rode home with Eleanor, while Serena was driven back to her private room at the lab by a bodyguard.
Back home, Eleanor washed her daughter’s hair, gave her a bath, read her a story, and tucked her into bed. The time spent with her daughter flew by.
Three days passed in a flash. Mansfield was scheduled to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
Early in the morning, after a meeting with Smith, Eleanor returned to her office. When she opened the door, she found someone sitting on her sofa-lan.

“If everything’s normal, there’s no need for me to see it,” Eleanor replied calmly. “If
there’s nothing else, I have work to do p>
The dismissal was clear, but lan didn’t move.
“Mansfield is getting out tomorrow?” he asked.
Eleanor looked at him, surprised. “How did you know p>
lan didn’t answer her question. Instead, he said, “I’ll take good care of Evelyn. It won’t interfere with you two meeting p>
“I’m taking Evelyn out to dinner tomorrow night,” Eleanor said, looking up at him. “I’ll be picking her up from school p>
The implication was that they would be having dinner with Mansfield.

In the hallway, Serena was walking toward them. Seeing what lan was clutching in

“Mr. Goodwin, it’s Mansfield. Is it a good time to meet?” Mansfield’s voice came from
the other end.
