Chapter 634
Ellinor was puzzled. She couldn’t figure out why AAAres was suddenly giving her that look. Had something happened?
Was her disguise blown?
She instinctively touched her face, making sure her disguise was intact
AAAres‘ deep gaze gave Ellinor a sense of Impending doom
She had meticulously dressed up today, leaving no detail to chance, including her eyes, which the mask couldn’t hide
She had even worn the light blue contact lenses Ida had bought, which looked so real and were almost just like her natural eye color
AAAres stared at her eyes for a long time before his cold gaze gradually relaxed.
For a moment, he thought that the “Snow Bunny” across from him had eyes exactly like those of Ellinor, but upon a closer look, the color of her pupils was off
He was overthinking. That woman couldn’t possibly be the hacker Snow Bunny!
AAAres came back to his senses, let out a casual sigh, and lifted his wine glass to Snow Bunny, “Cheers.”
Ellinor wanted to drink too, but considering her physical condition, she shook her head, “Sorry, I’ve been feeling a bit off recently, so I can’t drink. I’ll toast with coffee instead, is that okay with you?”
Even through the voice changer, AAAres could tell she was a young girl
AAAres smiled in understanding “Sure”
“Here’s to us both getting over our breakups!” Ellinor lifted her coffee cup with a smile, clinked cups with AAAres, and drained it.
Getting over a breakup? AAAres chuckled lightly and took a big gulp of his bitter wine.
Both had their own wounds, but they carefully avoided each other’s pasts and shifted the conversation to hacking techniques.
Though AAAres kept chatting with her, he never put down his wine glass, taking one drink after another, seemingly still trapped in the pain of losing his beloved.
Ellinor began sharing about a vulnerability she recently discovered in a high–level management system.
Just as she was getting into the swing of things, she noticed that AAAres hadn’t responded in a while. She looked up to find him slumped over with his eyes closed.
She paused, calling out, “AAAres?”
AAAres didn’t respond and his body remained still
Had he gotten drunk?
Because of his disguise, she couldn’t see his face or tell his condition. Ellinor got up and gently nudged him, calling his name.
Still no response Ellinor then took his gloved hand.
She rolled up his sleeve, pulled back a bit of the glove, and checked his pulse.
She knew a bit about traditional medicine, so she quickly confirmed that AAAres wasn’t unconscious. He was just drunk.
She looked at the table and saw that several bottles of wine were already empty. Ellinor frowned
A top hacker who was best at defense and should always be on guard got drunk in such an unfamiliar environment?!
Man, his wife cheated on him, so he must be hurting really bad, huh?
He seemed like a superhuman man, but he was also tormented by emotional problems. That kinda made him cute.
But what now?
AAAres was drunk, and she wasn’t sure if he had anyone to accompany him or take him home.
She waited for quite a while, but no one came for AAAres
Ellinor felt a pang of regret She didn’t have a deep relationship with AAAres, so she really didn’t need to take care of him in his drunken state.
But if she left him there and his true identity was exposed, it could put him in real danger
