Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 318
Liesel found Elijah's personality to be full of contradictions. At times, he seemed like a carefree playboy, but sometimes he would show the refined manners of a gentleman. He could be thoughtful and attentive one moment, only to turn around and tease her the next. That complexity made him feel real to her. She could tell that Elijah was showing her parts of him that he didn't reveal to others. He was quietly inviting her to walk into the space he had opened for her. She was walking into his heart. Liesel tilted her head up. Her gaze landed on Elijah's sharp profile. Hotel lights illuminated the night, casting a glow that wasn't quite daylight yet not fully shadowed either. The soft lighting made the angles of his face stand out more sharply. From her vantage point, he looked like a masterpiece brought to life. Liesel found herself staring at him. Elijah chuckled. "I used to think being born with a pretty face didn't mean much, but judging by the way you're looking at me

Liesel didn't look at Elijah. She shut her eyes as her voice was barely more than a whisper. "Elijah, do you really want to be with me? Are you sure you won't regret this someday?"You know this child is Jacob's. He'll grow up looking more and more like him. Won't his face remind you of those awful three years I spent with Jacob? Elijah…" She paused. "Maybe you should think this through again." Elijah was quiet. Liesel didn't open her eyes either. The silence in the car was suffocating.Suddenly, she felt a soft touch on her head. Soon, he wrapped her in a careful embrace. He sighed and murmured close to her ear, "Lili, open your eyes and look at me." Liesel's lashes fluttered. Slowly, she opened her eyes and met his gaze."Lili, can I take what you've just said to mean that you care about me? Because if you didn't, you wouldn't think so hard about this, would you?" His lips brushed her ear. "I'm glad you told me these things. But why can't you trust me a little more? I

"Lili, we can't be apart." Elijah's voice was filled with sincerity. "Let's go."Noticing how unsteady Liesel was on her feet, he scooped her into his arms. Liesel instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head against his shoulder. "Elijah, I'm just going to assume you've thought this through." Elijah's steps faltered, and he chuckled softly. "I made up my mind a long time ago." When they reached the apartment, Elijah stopped Liesel before she could open the door.He pushed her gently against the door. His lips descended on hers with unexpected urgency. The warmth of his mouth was impossible to resist. As his tongue brushed her trembling lips, she parted them instinctively. Her yielding stirred something deeper in him. His kiss grew hungrier. Liesel's head was pressed firmly against the door under the weight of his passion. She had nowhere to go. Elijah finally relented after a while. But Liesel's gasp reignited something in him, and he kissed her

Her phone buzzed with a notification. It was a notification on Twitter from someone she followed. Elijah had written, "She cares about me."The comments quickly piled up below the post. "No way, boss! Are you such a fan of small romantic gestures that you're going online in the middle of the night to show us lonely souls some love?" Others teased him for flaunting his relationship instead of sleeping. However, only Liesel truly understood. This wasn't just about showing off. Elijah was proud, and this time, he had every reason to be. Because this time, she was the one who had taken the first step, the one who had opened her heart to him. A soft smile played on Liesel's lips as warmth filled her gaze. She didn't comment or reply. Instead, she simply liked the post, making her feelings clear. Yes, she cared about Elijah. Elijah didn't post again. She knew him too well. He was playing his usual games and waiting for her to say the exact words: "Yes, I care about you."

They were cold, dangerous, and filled with ruthless intensity.It was Jacob. Liesel froze. In his hand, Jacob held her medical report and pregnancy test result. Three months. "Whose child is it?" His voice was sharp, laced with icy disdain. The usually stoic, emotionless black eyes now burned with a chilling glare, locked firmly on her. "Liesel. Whose child is it?" he demanded in a low tone. "We've been divorced for two months, yet you're three months pregnant. Tell me—who is the child's father?" He reached out, gripping her wrist tightly. Even as her face twisted in pain, he didn't loosen his hold. He had to know. He needed to know. Natalie's accusations came rushing back to him, swirling in his mind. She had said that Liesel had gone to great lengths to help Elijah secure his position, trampling others in the process. Why? Why would she help Elijah inherit the Hardin family business unless the two had already been involved? Someone like Liesel wouldn't do that ou

Jacob's throat tightened, and a bitter taste spread in his mouth. He continued gripping Liesel tightly. The pressure was so intense she felt as though her bones might snap. Jacob's piercing gaze locked onto her. His eyes were brimming with an icy coldness that spilled over uncontrollably. He stood there, staring at the woman before him, listening as she said nonchalantly, "The child is Elijah's." If the child was Elijah's, then what did that make him? The three years of affection Liesel had shown him turned into a joke. Jacob's gaze swept over her—this stunningly beautiful woman with a smile gracing her lips. Yet, all he felt was unfamiliarity. This was no longer the Liesel he had once known. The gentle, soft-spoken woman he remembered had vanished. "Liesel, why?" His voice was hoarse. He was trembling with pain and bitterness that he himself didn't realize. His grip tightened further. Why had she betrayed him? Why? For a moment, Liesel froze. Did she even have a choice

She had always been nothing more than a beautiful shadow, a vessel for Jacob to vent his desires. Sometimes, Liesel wondered if, when Jacob kissed her, another woman's face flashed through his mind. Over those three years, just how far had she allowed Jacob to go?To him, she was only someone to indulge his every whim. She wouldn't refuse and would let him do as he pleased. She was his perfect, living outlet. She existed solely for his satisfaction.Her clothes were always torn apart in the process. He never cared whether she was comfortable, because he didn't love her. He knew she would endure anything as long as it pleased him. There was no love between them because he never saw her as his wife, and because he always planned to leave her eventually, there was no need for tenderness. Even in those rare, fleeting moments when his eyes softened, she suspected the warmth wasn't for her but for Natalie. And yet, Jacob had the nerve to ask why she had done this to him. What a

Natalie felt a surge of relief knowing that Liesel still relied on Denzel's custom herbal medicine. Herbal remedies were ideal because no one could ever tell what might be added to them. At that moment, Natalie's mother—Rebecca Shadow—was at a beauty salon. When she received the call, she frowned. She moved to a quiet corner to pick up the phone. "What are you up to now?" Rebecca had remarried years ago, choosing a respected department head at Cloudspire Hospital. Despite the unease she felt at hearing Natalie's anxious tone, she remembered her daughter's generosity. Every time Natalie asked for help, it came with a handsome reward. That thought steadied her. "This isn't something we can discuss over the phone. Let's meet," Rebecca finally said. She suggested a nearby café. Natalie was already overwhelmed by anxiety. The moment she entered the private room, she blurted out, "Can Uncle help me?" "What's happened that's made you so worked up?" Rebecca sipped her coffee leis

"I'll never leave him." Not ditching Elijah meant Liesel was rejecting Jacob. After speaking, Liesel refused to talk to Jacob any longer. She didn't even see the struggle and pain in Jacob's eyes as she turned to leave. Even if she noticed, she probably didn't care anymore. Elijah and Liesel got into the car. Xavier didn't get into the same car with them, but he was still tactful enough to hitch a ride in Reuben's car.Liesel drove in silence toward the apartment lobby. "Stop being angry, okay? I apologize." Elijah drew Liesel into his embrace.Although she didn't struggle, she didn't return his hug either. Without a word, she held the remote and drone Howard had given her.Although Elijah held Liesel in his arms, seeing her current expression made him feel terribly empty inside. He kept kissing Liesel's cheeks and ears while murmuring his apologies. "I like you." His hoarse voice sounded pleading. "I said all that because… Lili, I don't want to manipulate you into staying w

Jacob remained standing from a distance while watching Liesel and Elijah's interaction in silence. Jacob became lost in his memories as he recalled that Liesel had never been that affectionate with him before.She wanted to get close to Jacob, but he never opened up to her. Whenever Liesel got close to Jacob, he would handle things with her in a professional manner. They had an employer-employee relationship at Ford Corporation, but they acted more like strangers back at their apartment.Liesel and Jacob couldn't even be considered friends. They would only communicate whenever they needed to satisfy their physical needs.Jacob had seen the most charming side of Liesel, and she only showed him her gentle side. However, Liesel was only ever that carefree with Elijah. In the future, they might be much more affectionate with each other. Elijah… Why didn't he die in the car accident? Why did he survive?Jacob's gaze darkened. His eyes were filled with obvious disdain. "Elijah,"

"I'm willing since it's you." Liesel leaned forward, drawing her lips close to his ear. Her warm breath lingered seductively. It was almost as if she were about to lean into his embrace."Do you really like me controlling you?" Liesel asked Elijah, who hummed in response. "Do you really like being possessed? You've loved freedom for your whole life, but could you give it up for a specific person at certain moments?" Liesel asked. Elijah gazed at her. His expression was unchanged. "Yes, if it's for you."Liesel brushed her lips against his ear before asking in a low voice, "Did you pursue me back then because I didn't like you, and you enjoyed the feeling of not getting what you wanted?"Elijah paused after hearing her question. He scratched his nose and felt slightly guilty. He already had an idea of what Liesel was about to ask. Elijah had clearly gone quiet. Liesel also had an idea why he remained silent. She couldn't help but click her tongue."You lied to me that your b

Liesel's gaze was calm as she stared at Jacob, who was a few feet away. After a mere glance, she turned to leave. "Liesel," Jacob called out her name. "I had nothing to do with what happened today." Jacob had waited there so he could tell her that."What do you want me to say?" Liesel wasn't interested in saying anything at all. She merely found what he said ridiculous after hearing him out."You said you had nothing to do with what happened today. Which part had nothing to do with you?"Liesel's gaze remained nonchalant. "You said you care about me. You mentioned that you want a fresh start with me. "You said you want to marry me again and make me Mrs. Ford once more. Let me ask you. Do you know what it means when Natalie and Matthew are still around?"You're indulging Natalie by letting her hurt me without any restraint. You'll be permitting Matthew to do anything he wants and commit all sorts of crimes. "While Matthew has learned his lesson, he might still dream of takin

If Xavier really made any mistakes, Liesel would definitely back him up since she was powerful and reliable. He was very confident about that at the moment.In the past, Xavier came off as steady since he had matured early, but he was slightly immature now. It was as if he could afford to be stubborn and childish since he had Liesel as his older sister. Liesel mentioned that she could support Xavier since she was wealthy and powerful. What else did Xavier have to worry about? She was his elder sister.Liesel gazed at Xavier and spoke earnestly. "Xavier, I won't force you to make a decision, but have you truly made up your mind to major in performing arts?"No need to get nervous and change your decision because of me. I just want to know what path you want to take for your future.""I'll choose a performance major, but not immediately." Xavier continued to explain, "I'll go for a physics major first and produce some results. Then, I'll choose what I like later."Howard chuckled.

Liesel couldn't help but advise Howard. "Mr. Durham, you said Xavier should decide his own future. You've gone too far.""Have I gone too far? Not only did you not discipline him, but you're lecturing me now?" Howard pointed at himself. "I can do much worse! Xavier, you listen to me. If you dare choose to enroll in a performance major, I'll break your legs! I'll break both of them!" Howard was being completely unreasonable. Liesel massaged her temples while thinking about how things were in disarray. Although she never expected Xavier to choose a performance major, it wasn't as if he wasn't allowed to. She retorted. "Didn't you just say that I can support him since I'm his older sister? That's why he won't have a hard time making a decision since I'll be his financial backer."Howard wasn't pleased. "But he has a super high IQ.""But I'm rich.""But he has a super high IQ." Howard refused to let go of the fact that Xavier was intelligent.Most importantly, Xavier was Heather

Howard had considered everything. Heather and Jason's children definitely had the best genes. Liesel and Xavier had the power to change everything, so why did they insist on learning finance just to earn money?"Like you said, you chose finance because you had no other choice, nor the money. You didn't want to be controlled, so you took that path. "But what about Xavier? Since he has you as his sister, would he even be short of money? You'll always donate money to the laboratory if he lacks any research materials, right?"Since you'll be supporting him, that kid can decide on his own future." Howard saw through it all, and he was also worried that a promising talent like Xavier would be ruined. Liesel glanced at Xavier and paused before asking, "What do you think?"Xavier was startled. He never considered all that. In the past, his biggest dream was to escape the Scotts. Even after getting away from the Scott family, Xavier faced many issues as well and didn't have the time to

Jeffrey only officially acknowledged two daughters—Liesel and Natalie. The upper class already picked Liesel's identity apart a long time ago. Yet she was calmly informing the onlookers that she had a younger brother. Since when did she have a little brother?However, no one asked on the spot. Despite feeling suspicious of Liesel and Xavier's identities, the crowd still smiled hypocritically. Liesel must have brought up Xavier at that moment to show her support for him.Zack and Sky rushed to the party, intending to make a fuss by ruining Liesel and Xavier's reputation. Yet she acknowledged her relationship with Xavier by letting everyone know that they were siblings. Liesel had a younger brother, and his name was Xavier.Xavier stood under the light, which cast a glow on his side profile and made him seem very tall. He most likely experienced a growth spurt when he was younger, so he had a tall and frail figure. Xavier was quite handsome. Despite his gentle demeanor, he cam

Exactly. Why did the Fords have to target Liesel?Howard was never a good person. If he were the king during the olden days, he would definitely favor ministers who flattered him instead of the decent ones. He would be driven by self-interest and only appoint those who were close to him as ministers.There was nothing Howard didn't know. Besides, Howard was on good terms with Heather and wasn't close with anyone from the crowd. They weren't even worthy when compared to Liesel. Liesel was Heather's daughter, and Liesel could even be Howard's future business partner. If Howard didn't take Liesel's side, who else would he side with?Edward's gaze remained calm. "Mr. Durham, you've spoken so bluntly. Don't you know what kind of rumors might spread among the upper class? They might end up hurting her badly.""Hurt her badly?" Howard chuckled. "I'm watching over her on behalf of my old friend, Heather. If any of these rumors start flying, I'll let those people have a taste of what it's
