"Sean, this isn't our last meal, right?" She asked skeptically. Sean looked at her with a distant expression and replied, "No, today is our wedding day, so we should enjoy a lavish spread." The subtext behind his words was that there would be no more delicious food like this in the future. Therefore, it would be her loss if she did not eat them. She picked up the cutlery and saw Reuben approaching with a very large crab dish. Oh, right, she still hadn't tried the crab. "Could I have the crab later this evening instead?" Eli asked. Sean nodded slightly. "What are you going to do with the unfinished dishes?" Eli asked again. "Reuben usually takes care of the leftovers. He will cook fresh dishes in the evening," Sean said. "Oh," Eli recalled that time when Reuben used to secretly keep the leftover crab that Sean and his girlfriend did not finish and gave it to her. Since she couldn't finish the dish this time, she decided to leav
Why was he observing her when she was sleeping? Was he thinking of punishing her? Shuddering, she got up with a smile and asked, "Why on Earth are you looking at me?" "Come to the study room after brushing your teeth and washing your face," Sean said. "Where is your study room?" Eli asked. She didn't know where it was because she had never been here before. "It's the next room," Sean replied and went out. Eli was baffled by his behavior. She walked to the next room after brushing her teeth and washing her face. However, the person waiting in the room was not Sean, but a man whom she did not recognize. The man smiled at her and went straight to the point. "Hello, my name is Ethan. Please fill up this questionnaire for me as accurately as possible. It's mandatory for everyone in the villa to fill this up." Eli was a doctor, and she was also a good friend of Stella. She immediately knew that it was a psychological assessment designed f
Sean loosened his grip and muttered, "Stella, yes, there's still Stella." Eli was still watching television when he left the room in a hurry. He did not know what she was watching, but she was laughing excitedly. Yet, the more she laughed, the tighter his heart felt. It was as though thorny vines were snaking around his chest, suffocating him. Taking a step forward, he lumbered toward her. Eli was still laughing, and she did not seem to have noticed him. He looked at the television and noticed that she was watching Mr. Bean. Then, he looked at her arm. If this were Eli in the past, she would have already been wailing if she had lost a finger, let alone an arm. How could she not seem sad at all after losing her arm? She was not well, as a matter of fact, she was very ill. He turned around and headed straight out of the door. Eli saw him going out from the corner of her eyes. She stopped smiling and lay on the sofa in a daze. The television progr
He was afraid that she would turn around and kill herself. He could only use Stella to hold her back. Eli was a kind person. He knew that only this way could he keep her alive. There would be hope for him as long as she was alive. Eli looked at Sean, confused. "When will I be able to meet Stella then?" "Soon. Let me make the arrangements. You may call Stella now," Sean said gently. "Really? I could do that?" Eli asked incredulously. When did her luck get better? Sean gave Stella a phone call. Stella was furious, but she still answered Sean's call after calming down. "Stella, I'll let Eli talk to you. I'll bring her back in a month, I promise," Sean said in a deep voice. Stella was silent. Her men were already ready. They are just waiting for a chance to make a move if Sean hadn't called. There were bound to be casualties if they were to start a war. All her men had parents and family. It would be for the best if they did not e
Sean entered the room and saw Eli sitting on the sofa, daydreaming. Eli stood up and returned the phone to him. "Thank you." Those words were so distant, it made Sean feel uneasy. "You don't have to thank me, we are husband and wife now." Eli raised a smile, but there wasn't a hint of happiness in her eyes. She changed the subject quickly, "When can we eat? I'm hungry." "I've prepared some nourishing soup and congee for you tonight. We'll slowly nurse you back to health. Everything will be fine," Sean said sincerely. Eli nodded and lay back down on the sofa. She closed her eyes to take a rest. She did not want to talk to Sean. She was still feeling unwell and stuffy. Sean made a call and ordered them to send the dinner to the room. Dinner was ready half an hour later. "Eli, it's time for dinner," Sean called out as he squatted in front of Eli. Eli opened her eyes and looked toward the table. There were two sets of dinner on the tabl
Sean walked to the side of the bed. Noticing his shadow, Eli looked at him and sat upright. Sitting down at on the edge of the bed, Sean held on to Eli's left hand and put a diamond ring on her ring finger. Eli noticed that he had already worn the diamond ring on his finger. The diamond was huge, and there was a letter "L" engraved inside it. Holding Sean's hand, Eli turned her hands around and looked at the diamond ring on his finger. There was a letter "S'' engraved inside his diamond ring too. Eli laughed and said, "Luckily, my name doesn't start with an "M". Otherwise, we will be a perfect match. With the letter "S" and "M", together we will be "SM". Surprisingly, Sean did not debate on her words as he would usually. He was staring deeply at her with eyes as gentle as water, captivating a human's soul. Eli started to feel uneasy. Was he planning to get intimate with her? She did not want to. "I'm a little sleepy. Let me take a b
"There's a huge age difference between us. You deserve someone better than me," Sean said euphemistically. "You are the best for me. I don't care about the age difference," Eudora said, trying her best to calm down. "I got married yesterday," Sean said calmly. Eudora was stunned for a few seconds before her face turned pale. "Alastair, are you joking? We were fine before. Why, did you get married all of a sudden?" "I'm sorry if you had misunderstood in the past. I didn't restrain myself as I wasn't married before. Now that I am married, I can't do whatever I want. I couldn't possibly allow the misunderstanding to go on like this," Sean said coldly. Eli sat in a chair and listened quietly, like a spectator. In a love triangle, there would always be someone sad and someone happy. Sean's words will definitely hurt her. Eudora's eyes were filled with tears. She still maintained her composure and didn't make a big fuss at all. She asked in a choking
"I'll be with you since I'll still need to install the prosthetic arm. Moreover, they won't be suspicious if I'm with you. They will put their guard down if you keep torturing me. I don't want to be the one waiting. I've been waiting for five years in anguish," Eli said with redness in her eyes. Sean became emotional, and he hugged her tightly. Her decision to install the prosthetic arm indicated that she had let go of the past. She had decided to stay and that she wouldn't leave him. Did that mean she was still in love with him? His drifting heart could finally stay still. Eli was still the simple, straightforward, and kind girl he knew. Eli felt the urge to cry. Wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, she said, "Don't torture me too hard. I'll remember it with all my heart." "I won't torture you ever again. Listen to me, let Stella save you and stay with her. I will have peace of mind if I know that you are safe. Otherwise, you'll be m
