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
Stella fell silent. She knew how terrifying it was to have enemies around her. In the past, Jasper was even assassinated in his own military base. Furthermore, once Sean had made up his mind to turn against them, he would then be surrounded by enemies, and every move he makes would be under surveillance. To kill all those people, not only would he need time but also a strong ability, a high level of endurance, and superb acting skills. Although Sean was wealthy and powerful, threats were all around him, waiting to take him down. "I will take good care of her, but I know that Eli wants you to take care of her. Otherwise, she would not have sacrificed herself like this for you. I will not prescribe any medicine for her for the time being, as I wouldn't want her to grow dependent on it. It's not good for her to take too much of it. What you should do now is to care for her and make her happy. Don't mention anything that will make her feel pressured or in pain," Ste
"Hello, Mr. Yaleman. It's Beckham. I'm currently in D Country. Will I get a chance to meet you?" Beckham asked politely. Sean knew who Beckham was. Beckham became the successor of the Yaleman family after he stepped down. Beckham, too, lived up to their expectations. He managed to establish his grounds in just one year, and it only took him four years to consolidate and strengthen his power. Now, he had become the youngest deputy president in history and was one of Bellamy's strongest competitors. "I'll send you the address later. See you in an hour," Sean said. He knew exactly what Beckham wanted to say to him. The reason why he was meeting him was just to confirm his speculations. He placed Eli on the bed and ordered his most trusted subordinates to protect her before he went out. He met Beckham an hour later. Beckham wore a pair of black-framed glasses and a brown windbreaker. Inside, he wore a black suit with a white shirt on. He seem
