Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 201
Liesel hadn't anticipated Elijah's sudden kiss. She didn't resist, but she didn't reciprocate either. When the kiss ended, she looked at him with a faintly detached gaze.Elijah was smiling. He was clearly entertained by the situation.Why had Jacob come here today? Was it to enjoy the spectacle? Or to convince Liesel to return as his secretary?Yet, before Jacob could even bring up her reinstatement, Liesel had already decided she wouldn't be returning to Ford Corporation anytime soon.Didn't that mean Jacob had already lost before he even opened his mouth? How amusing.At that moment, Elijah felt as though his injuries no longer hurt. The glimmer of amusement in his eyes was almost tangible.Was taking care of Elijah more important than work? Of course not. Even at the height of her love for Jacob, Liesel had never been so blinded that she would abandon her work, let alone now, after being hurt by him.She was saying this to Jacob deliberately. "Isn't taking care of him import

Even though Elijah knew Liesel well, he couldn't help but worry that she might agree to Jacob's offer out of impulse. He was just as anxious as Jacob.Liesel continued peeling the apple at a measured pace. When the peel was about to touch the floor, she nudged a nearby trash bin closer with the tip of her foot, catching the peel neatly. For a long time, she didn't respond to Jacob. Her expression remained calm and composed.Elijah and Jacob started chatting about business, but their attention remained fixed on Liesel. It was then they truly understood how agonizing waiting could be.When the apple was finally peeled, Liesel sliced it into small pieces, placed the pieces on a plate, and handed it to Elijah on the bed. She took a napkin and tucked it into his collar.Her gentleness moved Elijah deeply, but the apple seemed tasteless in his mouth. Without the answer he was hoping for, nothing else mattered. Jacob pulled out a gold cigarette case from his suit pocket and fiddled w

"You came to ask me because you've already agreed to Natalie's request to return to Ford Corporation. You're paying her a high salary, yet you still need someone competent to clean up the mess, so you thought of me," Liesel said evenly."All of this is because Natalie needs me, and temporarily. But Charles is back now. Whatever I can do, he's more than capable of handling."Elijah leaned against the headboard. He casually speared slices of apple from the plate, taking a bite now and then. The smile in his eyes deepened.He liked this version of Liesel—the one who was clear-headed and unflinching. Yes, this was her. The Liesel who had once wallowed in heartbreak because of Jacob paled in comparison to the confident woman before him now."You're different from Charles," Jacob countered. Liesel's hand stilled as she peeled the fruit. Elijah naturally took the apple and knife from her hands, continuing where she left off. She glanced at him but didn't stop him."Of course, I'm d

"Yes. Just as Elijah said, I won't be returning to Ford Corporation." Liesel smiled gently. Her answer was clear and decisive as if no further consideration was needed. She turned to Elijah and asked, "I turned down Mr. Ford's invitation for your sake. Does that make you happy?" Elijah paused mid-bite into his apple, then resumed after a moment. Yet somehow, the apple now felt overwhelmingly sweet.All the restless waiting, the anxiety, and the uncertainty dissolved in an instant. It was all replaced by a deep sense of satisfaction and joy. He had won the bet.Jacob's hand clenched around the cigarette box. When he lifted his gaze to Liesel, the faint spark in his eyes extinguished completely.An oppressive mix of emotions—heaviness, gloom, pain, and even despair—poured from the cracks in his heart. He had lost.For a moment, he stood rigidly by the hospital bed, then silently pulled out a chair and sat down. Outwardly, he still looked as cold and unyielding as ever, but Elija

Elijah was the type of person who always knew how to take advantage of a situation.Liesel was kind enough to cut fruit for him, so he pushed his luck and asked her to feed him as well. His eyes even glimmered with a hint of fawning. Though he was clearly as sly as a fox, in that moment, he looked more like a cute, mischievous kitten or puppy—one you'd want to ruffle and pinch its cheeks.Liesel felt a slight warmth and tingling sensation in her fingertips. She kept her expression neutral as she continued to cut the apple into pieces. Then, she pierced the apple with a toothpick and brought it to his mouth.Elijah smiled as he bit into the fruit, not forgetting to hold her hand as he flirted, "Lili, you feeding me makes it taste even sweeter."Jacob watched the scene with a blank expression. Elijah, who was still smiling, said, "Mr. Ford, if you also enjoy apples, you're welcome to peel one for yourself. Or… since you have another Ms. Sharp to take care of you, there's no need fo

Regret.Did Jacob regret it?"I don't know," he said. His throat was dry.He rubbed his aching chest. It felt like someone had slashed his chest open with a knife and left behind thousands of tiny little cuts. The tiny pricks of pain didn't hit him all at once like a tidal wave. Instead, it felt like a million ants eating away at his heart.He really didn't know.Denzel rubbed his tired eyes. "Right, you've never known that emotion. Well, does it hurt? Does it hurt to see Liesel and Elijah together? Does it hurt to see them kiss?"Looking at Jacob, he pushed his glasses up his nose. "If it hurts, then you love her."Love?Jacob seemed confused. He didn't know whether this strange feeling was love. Wasn't it just his possessiveness acting up?His gaze was still directed at the hospital room. Liesel always smiled when she looked at Elijah. They got along peacefully and harmoniously. Even he had to admit that they were a great match.However, she should have been his woman inste

Liesel raised an eyebrow like she was considering Elijah's game. Even the corner of her eye seemed to be raised.She slapped his hand away and then turned her head to continue reading. "Why do you think I'm still thinking about him?"This time, the world-class financial summit was centered around Ashthorne. All the attendees were renowned businesses from all over the world who were coming in search of partnership opportunities. Naturally, Liesel had her eye on a few projects that she wanted to bid for."The auction is in two days, after which the financial summit will be around the corner. The college entrance exam is starting in a month, and I have plans to drop by Ashthorne First High School. With so much happening at once, where would I find the time to think about him?"It's not like I have a lot of spare time," she said lightly.Although Elijah felt exhilarated to hear Liesel say that, he couldn't stop himself from saying, "Doesn't that mean you also don't have the time to th

Elijah's amusement deepened. He played with Liesel's hands, interlacing their fingers together. "That's not too bad. As the big bad villain, I defeat the main character and steal his princess away. It's the perfect ending. The villain likes it."Even at this time, he's still capable of sweet-talking her.Of course, she could hear the placating tone in his voice, like he was talking to a child. Seeing Elijah lean down to kiss her, she turned her face to the side and covered his mouth. "Elijah, why do you never get enough kisses?"Even with her hand covering his mouth, there was still a smile in Elijah's eyes. He bit her fingers gently and said, "When I look at you, I can't help it."Liesel was a little exasperated. Actually, she felt like Elijah was a bit clingy. Nonetheless, it wasn't a bad feeling. It gave her the misconception that someone actually did care about her wholly."Alright, let's get down to business. What game do you want to play?"Arching an eyebrow, Elijah said, "

"Well, that's a relief."Liesel logged into her Twitter account, uploaded all of Howard's research data without altering a single word, and tagged a small anonymous Twitter account.She captioned her post, "Thank you, Mr. Durham, for this opportunity to collaborate. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at the dinner party." To top it off, she included a photo of Howard's handwritten letter.Reuben raised an eyebrow. "You posted all of it?"Liesel crossed her arms. Her expression had a subtle hint of amusement."Didn't you say there wasn't anything that couldn't be made public? Mr. Durham's brilliant work deserves to be shared with the world."The sloppy, near-unreadable handwriting was enough to invite mockery from anyone who saw it. It was a calculated strike.Liesel would make sure to flip someone's world upside down before they could even react if they ever crossed her.Still riding the wave of attention from her public confession to Elijah, Liesel's latest post quickly ca

Nothing was going according to Jacob's plan. Liesel was insane. She had drawn the curtains wide open and kissed Elijah in full view of the world. She waited for the moment she would be seen. She didn't care about telling the internet who her choice was. They were just collateral.She had to know Jacob had sent Toby. It was her way of fighting back. She wanted him to know she had chosen Elijah.Liesel was as ruthless as ever.He had hurt her once, and that was her revenge. She'd rather choose a cripple than Jacob.Jacob dialed a number. His voice was hoarse and laced with barely controlled anger. "Take down the trending posts. I don't want to see any of that by tomorrow."There was a pause before Charles responded, "Can't do it."Jacob's mind raced as he questioned why the posts couldn't be erased. The only explanation was that Liesel had gotten involved.Without another word, Jacob hung up and replayed the video. He imagined himself in Elijah's place, but reality always broke

Toby froze. His legs nearly gave out when he heard who it was on the phone."Had enough pictures?" It was Liesel.Toby's heart pounded so hard he could hear it in his ears. The rush of adrenaline left him lightheaded. "Ms. Sharp… you knew?""I know Jacob sent you. Go ahead and upload tonight's photos and videos online. Don't worry about me."Toby was speechless."Are you sure about this, Ms. Sharp?" He was asking if Liesel was truly choosing Elijah."Did I stutter?"Toby let out an awkward chuckle, and Liesel hung up without another word."What the hell just happened? Who called you and scared you so bad?""Don't tell me you got served court papers or something.""You're being too quiet. What's going on? What shook you so badly?"The group crowded around Toby. He swallowed hard and recounted what Liesel had said. The room fell silent. After what felt like an eternity, someone murmured, "Was that Liesel's way of confessing to Elijah?"It was. She unapologetically used that f

"Would they love me like you do? Or would they just drain me of everything I'm worth?" Liesel was genuinely curious. "If you love me, then stay with me forever. Don't ever give anyone the chance to hurt me again."If you care so much about your legs, I'll contact the best medical team. I'll build a research institute if I have to. I can do so much for you, just like Heather did for Jason. So, please, stop saying we're not a good match. We're the perfect match."Liesel stood up and braced her hand against the nearby furniture. At this moment, she seemed taller and more commanding."Look into my eyes, Elijah. Tell me. What do you see?"Elijah froze. His gaze locked onto hers. In those usually calm eyes, he saw an overwhelming depth of emotion that made his throat tighten."I think you can tell the difference between love and indifference. So, what's your answer?"Before he could respond, Liesel pressed on, "Never mind. Even if you want to hide, I won't let you retreat any further."

"You could at least do something to earn my respect," Liesel said. "You've injured your legs, and you acted like it's the end of the world. It's not like you've lost your manhood. And even if you did, we can always have a platonic relationship. Anything works when the person is right."Do you hear me, Elijah? Love between a man and a woman does involve physical attraction and intimacy, but that's not all of it. True love comes from the resonance between two souls, from the empathy and connection they share."Even as she spoke, her words circled back to the real issue. She was still angry at Elijah for giving up on himself.Elijah's voice was hoarse as he responded, "I just can't bear it, Lili. You're so wonderful. Have you ever seen the kind of twilight where the entire sky is bathed in warm orange hues, and stars begin to twinkle faintly at the horizon?"That kind of twilight feels like it bridges heaven and earth. I've been to many places in my life, but that twilight was the onl

"Elijah, do you know how upset I was?" Liesel asked.Elijah's injuries were severe. His entire body was battered. Even his strikingly handsome face bore scars. His right arm was broken, and his chest, back, and legs were covered in countless wounds.Anyone else would have clung to Liesel like a lifeline, terrified that she would abandon them. But Elijah just wanted to push her away."What can I say, Lili?" Elijah's tone carried a hint of helplessness. "It feels like whatever I say now will just be wrong. Do you want to judge me? You're welcome to do so.""I just don't understand." Liesel held his hand. Her grip was gentle as if afraid of causing him more pain. "What do you take me for? What do you take yourself for?"This world has so many people suffering because they lack money or power. But we have both. You're incredibly hot, and you're standing at the pinnacle of society. So what if your legs are injured? There are countless people worse off than you. Why let this drag you do

Reuben handed Liesel a red-covered envelope, but his expression was strange as he did so. Was there something hidden in the letter?Liesel opened it, and her eyes twitched as she read the few words written inside. "What is this?"The writing looked like a tangled mess of worms twisted together into a few sentences. It wasn't just ugly—it was excessively so.Reuben fell silent for a moment. "It's not that hard to read."Liesel handed the letter back to him. Her gesture clearly said, "If it's so easy, you read it."Reuben's face remained as calm as ever. "Liesel..." He simply said her name before stopping."It's not important. What matters is that the only person who can match Howard's intellect and keep up with his progress is you. Since he wants to meet you and the authorities want you to be involved, I hope you can take this collaboration seriously, Ms. Sharp."He said it wasn't important, but actually, he just couldn't read Howard's alien handwriting.Liesel clicked her tongu

Belinda's verbal attacks only made Liesel realize one thing—Belinda wasn't a particularly smart person.Once truly intelligent people understood their opponent's cards, they wouldn't provoke them so recklessly, without considering the family's reputation or the consequences of their actions.It was selfish, cold-hearted, immature, and laughable.Liesel was already pushing Elijah's wheelchair out of the Turner residence's living room when Reuben nodded slightly at Nathan. His commanding gaze swept over Belinda as he murmured, "The younger generation of the Turner family needs to be properly taught manners."With that, Reuben left with the special forces.Glaring at their retreating backs, Belinda ground her teeth, but her expression was one of desolation.She could feel the vast distance between her and Liesel. She was unwilling to accept her defeat. She wouldn't just hand Elijah over to Liesel. One day, she would take Elijah back, no matter what.Liesel remained unaware of Belin

But since Heather had chosen her lover over her children when she was forced to make that choice, she was doomed to carry that guilt for the rest of her life.She had made her choice, and it was a mistake. Maybe it would be easier if she truly believed she was heartless.Since Liesel and Xavier were her and Jason's children, they had to be exceptional. Only then could they truly live up to their brilliant bloodline.Heather arrived at the research facility and looked at the man lying quietly on the bed, who was slowly recovering. Crouching on the cold floor, she gently held his hand and softly rubbed it."Jay, do you think I've made a mistake?"There was no response.Only the soft whisper of the breeze could be heard. Though it was the height of summer, the air felt unnervingly cold.Heather gazed at Jason, who was still trapped in his deep slumber."Jay, when you wake up, we'll go back to Ashthorne. They may not accept me, but they'll accept you. We can… go home together."Sh
