Chapter 406

Author: Cloud Drop
Jordan and Neal stood by Liesel's side. They knew that she was very weak and emotionally unstable right now, so they were very worried that Jacob would hurt her.

"Lili, we're afraid that something will happen to you."

Liesel shook her head gently in response to Neal's concerned comment. "He won't," she said. A small laugh escaped her throat. It sounded like she was laughing at herself and mocking Jacob. "He's fallen for me."

Like a foolish bystander, she could clearly feel Jacob's deep love for her. However, his idea of love was different from hers. Her idea of love was giving and offering herself wholly, while his idea of love was to plunder, possess, and hurt.

She sat in her wheelchair and allowed Jordan to push her to the elevator. The housekeeper had been waiting for a while now. When she saw her, she immediately greeted her with respect. "Welcome home, Mrs. Ford."

Liesel didn't correct the housekeeper. She simply allowed her to lead her into the condo in which she'd lived for

    It was like Jacob had completely forgotten about the conflict between him and Liesel.He acted as if they hadn't gone through a divorce, a car accident, and all those other things. It was like they were still a normal married couple."How ridiculous," Liesel thought. "This is truly ridiculous.""Jacob, you seemed to have forgotten about the rifts between us. Do you need me to remind you?" she asked.Her gaze flitted toward the glass of wine, and her heart filled with derision. "Also, I've just suffered a miscarriage. My body is still recovering, so I can't have alcohol."At the mention of miscarriage, Jacob's eyes suddenly turned icy. "Don't bring up the miscarriage in front of me ever again. I thought that you asked to meet because you've finally thought things through."Step by step, he approached Liesel. As he leaned down, his entire body radiated an overbearing pressure. However, Liesel's expression didn't waver.While watching Jacob, she merely hummed quietly. "Yes, I've th

    "How dare you, Jacob? You are the culprit and the root of all evil. You should also suffer along with me," Liesel thought.At that moment, Jacob fell into a daze. Rooted to the spot, he was unable to react. He was as still as a statue, and his brain could barely function. The same sentence kept repeating in his head."Jacob, you have murdered your own heir with your scheme."What did Liesel mean by that?He couldn't understand it at all.It's fake. It must all be fake."Liesel, you're joking," he said hoarsely. "That's not true."Liesel's eyes were glittering brightly as she stared at Jacob. "I never betrayed you during our marriage. I was pregnant with your child. That child was our flesh and blood."Jacob, that was our baby. Elijah had nothing to do with it."Jacob's brain had completely frozen. He stared straight at Liesel, but his dark eyes were completely devoid of emotion. He didn't believe it. "When I asked you, you said that it was Elijah's baby! How could it be mine?"

    Jacob didn't have the courage to trust Liesel's words. Instead, he called Denzel in front of her.No one but Denzel would know better.When he got the confirmation, his phone slipped from his hand. It fell onto the ground, cracking loudly.He swayed on his feet, shivering from head to toe. He couldn't even clench his fists tightly. His eyes were filled with uncertainty and doubt toward himself."It w—was mine? Why wasn't it Elijah's? Why was it mine? How could he have been my baby?"If that had been his child, then what had he done all of that for?Liesel cocked her head, watching him go through this torment. A little laugh escaped her throat. "Yes, he was your child. You killed your own baby with your scheme. You are a murderer, and the one you murdered was your own baby."She wanted to hurt him with her icy words. She knew that his heart was bleeding right now, but she still wanted to deepen the cuts. She wanted to rub salt in his wounds then stab knives into his heart over an

    "Have a look."Liesel handed the document to Jacob."Someone added foreign substances into my medicine, Jacob," she said. "I won't be able to have kids anymore."That was another blow to Jacob's mental state.He flipped through the document quickly. When he finally realized that all of this happened because he'd told Natalie that Liesel was pregnant with his baby, he was in disbelief.In the beginning, he just wanted to make Natalie come up with a way to get rid of the baby. He had never intended for her to do anything more than that.His eyes flickered, and he tightened his grip. The thick stack of papers wrinkled in his hands."It's alright. It's alright even if we don't have kids," Jacob said in a low voice. "The Ford family still has Ophelia. We can adopt Ophelia's kids."His gaze dimmed. "As long as you return to my side."Liesel met Jacob's dark eyes calmly. Without averting her gaze, she said, "I belong to Elijah.""He's already a cripple!"Liesel shook her head gentl

    When Jordan burst in, he met Jacob's dark and icy gaze. The latter's cool eyes seemed to carry an internal struggle as he glared at Jordan."If you love Elijah, then tell me who this is," he said, referring to Jordan."No matter who he is to me, it has nothing to do with you," Liesel said calmly.Before she left, she said, "Jacob, remember this. You killed your child with your own hands, and it is your blind protectiveness that left me infertile for life. You are the actual one to blame here."Liesel hadn't said anything that was incorrect.It was because of Jacob's protection that allowed Matthew to become this fearless and enabled Natalie to harm her over and over again. If it wasn't for Matthew, Liesel wouldn't have been forced to this point.Liesel left, and the condo fell quiet once again.Jacob quietly walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Through the glass, he watched as Jordan pushed her frail body out in a wheelchair.She was really weak. Even with makeup on, he coul

    That cut-up dress had symbolized Liesel's determination to completely separate from him.After so many years, how could Jacob let go so easily? Was he just going to give her the chance to leave just because she wanted to?Clearly, she was the one who started it first and provoked him.He could give her many more red dresses to make things up to her for that night.Picking up his phone, he snapped a picture of all the red evening gowns in the room and uploaded it to Twitter.He captioned it, "A gift for you."Anyone would be able to get the hidden meaning behind that short sentence!Ever since she divorced Jacob, Liesel had shown up to all kinds of events in red dresses. She had even worn red diamond earrings. Anyone who knew Liesel would know that she liked the color red.By uploading that picture at such a sensitive time, Jacob was not just declaring war against Elijah but also indirectly showing affection to Liesel.News about Elijah's car accident had just died down, and pe

    "Do you know how impressive the 'Bait Talks' were? Liesel crushed Dash Rayden on her own and secured that piece of land for two billion dollars less than the asking price, shocking both the business and financial circles abroad! "Do you know why that incident is known as the 'Bait Talks'? It was because that discussion had been a trap set up by the business circle overseas. Their motive had been to humiliate Draskia."However, it was Liesel who exposed their evil intentions. It was Liesel who did all the research. It was Liesel who made Draskia dominate over the other countries, allowing us to rise above them. It was because of that discussion that other nations now look at Draskia differently at business talks!"Otherwise, why do you think they gave our nation so many collaboration opportunities and even decided to host this year's financial summit in Ashthorne? It wasn't just because the Shifter Corporation headquarters had moved to Ashthorne, but also because the main character

    Elijah was always able to take amazing photos of Liesel. Even if it was just a picture of her back, it was a hazy kind of beautiful.Liesel liked the Tweet and continued scrolling."Meeting you was such a wonderful thing. It was like hearing the sea breeze or seeing a sky full of stars. It was like having a juicy watermelon on a summer's day. It was like all the wonderful things."Liesel couldn't help but smile. She typed out a reply, "It's like Liesel getting to meet Elijah."Elijah had really written a lot of Tweets about her. As she read through them and observed them closely, she felt like she could touch him indirectly."Ms. Sharp's lifestyle is really unhealthy. I hope she can learn from me by going to bed early and waking up late. That's what I call a healthy lifestyle."She replied, "I'll learn to laze around in bed more, alright?""Ms. Sharp seems to have fallen sick recently. I'll just give her half my health."She replied, "Mr. Hardin also hasn't been well lately. I

    Edward chuckled quietly in her ear. "Where do you want to go tomorrow, Ophelia? Should I take you on an overseas getaway? Or perhaps, we could take a stroll nearby and watch a movie.""I can't go overseas; I'm not on break yet. Let's go watch a movie," Ophelia replied. "I've only watched a movie with you as my brother. This time, I want to try watching a movie with you as my boyfriend."Although Edward was still the same person, his identity had changed.She could now touch Edward openly. She could hold his hand, hug him, and kiss him.It was… really great."Alright, get some rest today. I'll come pick you up tomorrow," Edward said.Ophelia nodded and walked him to the door. As soon as she shut the door, she pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart thudding rapidly from the kiss earlier.She hopped into bed and rolled from side to side.After Edward got into his car, he finally let out a loud laugh. He pressed his fingers to his lips, reminiscing about the aftertaste sh

    As their tongues intertwined, Edward could taste a sweet and sour flavor on Ophelia's tongue. It tasted like she just had a piece of strawberry candy that made her entire mouth taste sweet.Even her breath smelled like this refreshing and saccharine fruity scent. It was as if she was enticing him to take a bite of her and swallow her.The more they kissed, the more forceful Edward got. The air around them felt syrupy and intimate."Are you sure you really have never dated before? Am I really your first? If I am… then why are you so good at kissing?" she asked like it was an interrogation.She didn't know how to kiss and was very inexperienced. However, Edward had practically conquered her. He kissed her until her knees went weak.At the thought of Edward doing this to another woman, her chest began to ache terribly.Edward played with her hair, which had become messy from the kissing. "Like I said, you're all I dream about. I don't even know how many times I've kissed you in my d

    "How would you know that I also didn't have the same kind of thoughts when you secretly kissed me all those years ago?"You said that I was born in a tall tower, but I didn't get to choose my background. Meanwhile, you have climbed your way up to where I am to be with me."In ancient times, we would have been innocent and carefree childhood sweethearts. We would've been considered a match made in heaven."Edward, what I'm saying is the truth." Ophelia said each word solemnly. She stared unblinkingly at Edward as she spoke. "While you were struggling with these emotions, who said I was not struggling too?"However, I just couldn't forget you. I couldn't accept a future without you. What I wanted was to have you by my side. I wish you were my lover, and I want to be with you, Edward Ford."Her response was firm and resolute. It echoed with conviction.At the same time, she seemed to be giving her answer to the Edward who had been hiding his feelings in fear and panic for many y

    "If you're ever unhappy, you can come find me anytime. I'll always be here for you."This was Edward's promise.These were the moments when Ophelia had seen Edward smoking. Each time, it seemed to have something to do with her.She recalled the past. The way Edward always looked at her became even clearer in her mind. Back then, she might not have understood the struggle and yearning in his eyes.But now, she thought she understood.Her mind was filled with too many thoughts, and their embrace had lasted far too long.She wanted to push him away, but at that moment, he suddenly whispered in her ear, "Your first kiss wasn't him. It was me."What?Ophelia was stunned. She even thought that she'd heard wrong.When had she ever kissed Edward? How come she never knew about it?She pushed him away. Her doe eyes widened."You're lying. E-except just now, we've never kissed before!""The night before I left the country, you held onto my shirt and refused to let me leave. After you

    Ophelia still remembered the melancholy and confusion that she'd seen in Edward's eyes. He had looked like a young boy who couldn't find his way home.The moment Edward saw her, he stubbed out his cigarette. Holding her hand, he led the bleary-eyed Ophelia back to the bedroom.Worried that she'd catch a cold from the freezing winds, he made her a cup of hot chamomile tea. She didn't like the taste, so he had to try his hardest to coax her into drinking it.Upset, she said to him accusingly, "Edward, I feel I'm turning into a chamomile plant."Edward laughed.He was handsome. Even when he laughed, he looked attractive. Amusement bloomed on his charming and elegant face.She complimented him dazedly, "Edward, you're really good-looking."Even though she was still mad that she'd been coaxed into drinking a whole mug of chamomile tea, she still found herself lost in his handsomeness. Edward's eyes were curved from his broad grin, and he reached out to rub her head."You're very goo

    "So it is because of Stanley.""Well, I'm much older than you. Stanley is young so there wouldn't be a generation gap between you two. You must like someone younger."That's not all. Stanley has excellent grades. I naturally understand that you'd choose him. After all, he's the first guy you've ever called your boyfriend."You don't have to say anything; I understand. I'm not up to standard. Stanley will definitely achieve greater things than me in the future, so I shouldn't keep clinging to you…" I must have put you in a difficult position. If I had known that you had picked Stanley, I wouldn't have come back and disturbed you. I've disturbed the peace in your life."Every single word Edward said felt like a stab in Ophelia's heart.Was he crazy? Why was he talking about Stanley in every sentence?Ophelia tried her hardest to bite her tongue, but in the end, she failed to hold her anger in."You keep talking about Stanley, but didn't I already tell you that we've broken up?

    Ophelia snatched the junk food box in a huff to fill the gift boxes with snacks."You! Stop causing trouble!""Okay, okay! I'll stop messing around." With that, Joseph muttered, "It was just a few sweets…"Ophelia glared at him. Joseph immediately cleared his throat and no longer uttered a word. Instead of teasing her, he also began helping her pack the boxes. Not trusting him, Ophelia intentionally inspected each box. She only felt assured to hand him the boxes once she was certain none of the chocolates or snacks were missing.Not long after Joseph started packing, he began looking around absentmindedly. He looked down and noticed many private messages on Ophelia's phone. Those still part of Yvonne's fandom had sent those messages. They were scolding Ophelia.Ophelia merely glanced at the messages before nonchalantly turning off the phone screen. Not only were she and Joseph done wrapping the boxes, but Edward had finished preparing breakfast as well. Edward prepared all of

    "Oh!" Joseph exclaimed. He whirled around and took a step back before patting Edward's palm. "Shouldn't you give me something in return for my advice? A present or something, right?"Edward came off as rather domineering as he asked icily, "Tell me which car you want. What model and series? When do you want it?"Yes, Edward had brought up cars. Joseph's eyes lit up. "I want the latest SUV from Land Rover within the next three days."It wasn't as if Joseph couldn't afford the car. He simply liked messing with his friends. After all, free things were the best. "Sure." Joseph continued flatteringly, "Bro, this is how it works. Women are usually more soft-hearted, especially someone like Ophelia at her age. You should give in sometimes."Be shameless if she ever tries to drive you away. Hug her and act pitiful by saying that you don't want to leave her. Say that you can't sleep or will have nightmares if you don't see her. You can even be more dramatic."Joseph was quick-witted enou

    Ophelia was left dumbfounded after hearing Joseph's advice. What nonsense was he talking about? He was supposed to be on her side, not sabotage her. Edward shoved Ophelia out of the kitchen. "Something's wrong with his brain, so just ignore him. Go and rest."Ophelia was still perplexed as Edward pushed her out of the kitchen. However, she didn't probe further since she refused to speak to him for now. Once Ophelia was gone, Joseph immediately cursed. "You're such a beast. 28cm, 28cm. Why don't you cut off that thing of yours? Did you think your sweetheart is someone who appears in those adult films?" Edward's eyes twitched. He finally understood what Joseph had been blabbering about. Joseph was such a pervert through and through. Edward slammed the knife onto the chopping board. "I'm talking about my age. What's gotten into you?""Oh, it's your age." Joseph sighed in relief. He had been worried about how Draskia could have such a pervert like Edward.After a while, Joseph e
