Sean ran so fast that Eli couldn't catch up to him. She stopped to catch her breath on the bridge. Not long after that, she noticed that Sean was walking toward her and holding an ice cream in his hand. He asked her with a teasing tone, "Is the Willow branch for me?" She was so angry that she felt like beating him up to a pulp. She thought that Sean had destroyed her ice cream on purpose and was showing off in front of her to make her jealous. "You have to give me back an ice cream," she said to Sean angrily. Sean gave the ice cream to her after she said that. Eli was shocked that Sean had suddenly treated her so well. Could he have put poison into the ice cream? After that, she picked up the Willow branch and started beating Sean with it. She only managed to hit him once, because Sean caught the Willow branch in his hand the second time. He asked, "Hey, why are you so fierce? Aren't you afraid that no one is going to marry you in the future
She was about to leave him, so she didn't dare to accept anything from him anymore. After the meal, Sean brought Eli to his room to take a look at the Willow branch. He really did bring the Willow branch back with him. Not only did he preserve it, but he even made it into a tiny Willow tree. Apart from the bridge beside the tree in the artwork, there was also a boy who was holding an ice cream, and a girl who was holding a Willow branch. Wasn't this an illustration of what had happened between them back then? "There are three different ways to look at this picture. It will appear differently when you stand at different angles," Sean said as he pulled Eli to the center. When she stood in the middle, she saw something that was completely different. She saw that the girl was holding an ice cream and the boy was holding a Willow brach. "Wow, it's amazing." "It's alright. You just need to make use of some physics principles to create an optical i
"Do you even get shy?" Sean wasn't convinced at all. She wanted to slap him. "Could you carry me to the bathroom? Surely you're strong enough to lift me right?" She tried to goad him into action. Sean was helpless. He lifted her and carried her to the bathroom. Eli was happy that her plan was working. Hence, she kissed his lips and said to him, "Good job, little Sean." "What did you call me? Do you want me to let go of my hands now?" Sean wasn't pleased with what Eli had just called him. "Big Sean?" He looked at Eli charmingly and said, "Call me 'Hubby'." Eli pursed her lips and refused. She shuddered at the thought of saying that word out loud. "We're not married yet, are we?" "So you're letting someone other than your husband to f*ck you?" he asked hoarsely as he put Eli in the bathtub. "I haven't taken off my clothes yet," Eli said anxiously. He put his hands on the sides of the bathtub, then held Eli's hands and sta
Eli turned her body so that she was facing Sean. She stared into his eyes and said, "I think that you will look even more beautiful than Yvonne if you were to dress up as a woman." "Why would a man like me need to look beautiful?" Sean said seriously. Eli chuckled, "To attract my attention. I like a good-looking man." Sean was playing with her long hair. "Alright, then I will try to look better." Eli smiled and asked him sheepishly, "Why do you like me? Is it because I am pretty?" "Since when were you pretty?" Sean frowned. Eli lowered her gaze. Sean was in a good mood, hence, he grabbed Eli and held her in his arms. "There are a lot of good-looking people in the world, but their appearance won't last forever. I don't care about your appearance. I think that I fell for you was because you helped me with my homework for three years. I bet that only you could bear with me for that long." "You should have told me this earlier, then, I would
Their eyes met when Eli turned to look in Natasha's direction. She was stunned. However, Sean had already dragged her away before she could take a second look. Sean lowered his voice and said to her calmly, "That's not the real Natasha." "What?" Eli gasped in surprise, "But she looks just like her, doesn't she?" "There is also another man who looks just like Jasper. His name is Bellamy Chuck. This lady has gone through plastic surgery, while Bellamy did not," Sean explained. "Wow! That's so rare," Eli said. At this moment, she thought of Stella. Stella would have been overwhelmed with grief if Jasper really was dead. She might have even taken her own life. Therefore, there could only be two possibilities. Either Bellamy was actually Jasper, or Stella was helping Jasper to plan his revenge. What would happen if she could successfully avenge Jasper's death? Eli didn't dare to think more about it. Her heart was filled with unease. "Do
"Do you think that your wife here is still a young woman who could charm every other man? You're just overthinking it. Would you prefer that I shave my head off and dress like a nun? Wouldn't that worry you less?" Stella replied helplessly. "I'm not saying that you should become a nun. How's this, you could come and work for me. Since I'm the Director for Department of External Affairs and the lead interviewer, it wouldn't be a problem to let you in," Bellamy said as he smirked. "Sean wouldn't want me there," Stella answered cautiously. "Are you going to let go of this opportunity just because he doesn't want you there?" Bellamy asked her in return, "I even got you the answers for the entry tests." Stella chuckled and explained, "I'm sure that everyone would have already known that whatever happened to Christian and the Director of the Education Department were all single-handedly caused by me. Another issue will soon arise if I were to start working in the Dep
Eli felt that Sean was a little too close to her, so she pushed him away gently and changed the topic, "Are we there yet? It feels like it's taking us forever." "We'll reach the port soon." "The port?" Eli turned to him in shock and asked, "Do we have to take a boat to reach that place?" "Yes, it's on an isolated island." "F*ck. Why does everyone like the islands? They are far away from civilization and the roads are so dangerous," Eli complained. "There are several reasons why the training ground is on a deserted island. Firstly, it's far away from the public, so we need not worry about the citizens' safety, and secondly, it's easier to run our tests and training if the parameters are set and locked in. Lastly, the fight on a real combat battleground would be far tougher than the one they have on the island. Hence, we would need to train their decision-making skills, strategies planning, processing capability, and how they react under pressure," Sean expl
Sean walked towards the first floor of the ship. The ship was gigantic. It had four floors including the cabins. It was full of soldiers. Eli noticed the different cannons situated on the top floor as she raised her head. It seemed that this ship had been refurbished into a military ship. She quickly followed behind Sean and proceeded to the first floor. Someone came over and took off Sean's coat and hung it on a coat rack. The heaters in the room warmed Eli up as soon as she entered the ship. She couldn't help but notice Colonel Cher standing beside her. Unlike the President, no one offered to remove the coat from him. Hence, Eli dared not do it either. Sean looked at her and asked, "Don't you feel warm?" "Yes, I do," Eli responded inaudibly. "Take off your jacket and put it there then," Sean said as he pointed to the coat rack in the corner. "Alright," Eli immediately went to the corner and removed her winter jacke
