Chapter 1283: Something’s Going Down Tonight
"I think the best kind of love is one where absence feels like a century," Ian Shelby tightly held her hand, warmth intermingling in their palms, "and where trust remains unwavering even after a long absence."Jocelyn Morgan was truly moved by his words and fell into deep thought.
This is the kind of love Ian desires most, and she would give it her all because she loves him.
When she didn’t respond, Ian turned his gaze with a smile, "What do you think? Do you have a higher insight?"
"I think..." she was afraid of sounding too simplistic.
For a moment, this girl who writes romance novels was actually a bit afraid to speak, "Tell me more, I want to hear your understanding again, while sparking my inspiration."
"In true love, there’s no need to be preoccupied with constant presence."
"Because in life, aside from love, there are other responsibilities and pursuits."
"Romance is just a part of life, perhaps even a small part. The presence of another person makes life more complete and fulfilling."
"Hmm." She nodded in agreement.
Ian said, "A good relationship should be about mutual growth, not consuming each other."
"I think people should gain strength and joy from those they like." Jocelyn leaned closer to his arm, her eyes full of admiration, "Instead of using up all their energy and joy just to like someone."
"Yes, that’s the best kind of love, a mature love," Ian said, "The addition of another person should make life better, not worse."
"Trust is the foundation, right?"
"Yes, it’s the most important part of a relationship."
Not far away, a few lurking journalists were looking for the right angle and started taking pictures of Ian and Jocelyn.
And they whispered among themselves—
"Dr. Shelby’s love life has always been a focus of attention, after all, everyone loves gossip."
"Take clear shots, it’ll be on the front page tomorrow!"
"Is this an unexpected gain? Even going out to eat can lead to such an encounter."
"That’s why you should always have your camera with you!"
Then Ian and Jocelyn began to say their goodbyes.
He saw her into the car, waved at her, "Drive safely, send me a message when you get home." He watched as she drove away.
Ian stood in the evening breeze for a moment before getting into his own car.
Just as he was about to start the engine—
The journalists noticed Vera Ford suddenly appearing from somewhere, anxiously glancing at Dr. Shelby’s departing car, and quickly getting into another car.
Based on their experience, the journalists concluded that this girl had some connection with Dr. Shelby.
Subsequently, the journalists also got into their car.
They followed along and surprisingly saw the girl’s car tailing closely behind Dr. Shelby’s car!
"What’s happening?" The journalists were utterly puzzled and had their own speculations.
"My God, could he be a player? Is he taking her home?"
"Maybe he’s not taking her; perhaps she’s following him on her own, since they’re not in the same car."
"But logically, it doesn’t make sense."
"Quick, let’s follow to see what’s happening." The journalists were nervous, also eager to capture more.
Midway, Vera followed Ian, and the journalists followed them, heading in the same direction.
With their professional instincts kicking in, one of the journalists said, "Do you guys know where Dr. Shelby lives? We should take a detour, I’m sure they’re heading home!"
So in the next second, the journalist’s car took a detour, picking up speed!
Blatantly following at night like this could easily alert them to their presence.
If they reached Ian’s place ahead of time and staked out, they might catch something interesting.
After all, news needs a hook.
On the way home, Ian held the steering wheel with both hands, his gentle gaze directed at the night ahead.
In terms of emotions, he admitted he wasn’t as sensitive as Jocelyn.
But he liked her, genuinely liked her.
