Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 576
"Are you trying to say that promises now can only prove love at this moment but not for the rest of my life? In that case, why don't we let time tell? "A year is just 365 days, and a decade is just 3650 days. It will pass in a blink of an eye. I can stay by your side for one, two, and up to every decade of the rest of my life. Time will tell the choice that I made and whom I chose to love."Can you understand this, Elijah?"Liesel asked Elijah if he could understand this, if he could understand that she cared about him and loved him.He did understand, but he just couldn't bear to waste her time.Elijah's lips parted. Looking at Liesel, a lump formed in his throat. Just as he was about to say something, she patted his face gently, leaning closer to capture his lips.Her probing tongue seemed to be intentionally trying to seduce him, making him forget everything that he wanted to say. All he could taste was her sweetness.He thought that since Liesel had already told him so, the

Liesel fixed her gaze on Elijah."You know it's true. You're the only one I see and the only one I think about," he said hoarsely.He cupped her jaw and captured her pink lips.Time melted away as their tongues danced with each other.Previously, it had felt like piercing winds blowing as a storm loomed. Now, it felt like they were greeted by a gentle spring breeze.The food delivery soon arrived. Liesel had ordered Elijah's favorite dishes from the private kitchen at Heritage Hotel.Liesel tore open the package and handed him some cutlery.Elijah took the cutlery. He was unable to suppress the smile blooming on his lips.However, when he opened the last container, his smile froze. "Why is there mushroom soup?""I ordered it for myself. You have the food. I'll just have some soup and keep you company. Isn't it lonely to eat alone?" Liesel picked up the container and stirred the soup with her spoon.Amusement shone in his eyes. He pulled her close and kissed her deeply again.

As expected, someone that Charles had chosen wouldn't be that simple.Liesel slowly drank her soup. Gloomy feelings surged in the depths of her eyes.After ten minutes, Elijah put down the proposal. "It's not bad," he said.Liesel wiped her hands with a tissue. "Let me see. You should be eating."Elijah picked up his cutlery. "I'll bring the proposal to the board meeting. If everyone approves, then we should have a meeting to discuss it."Glancing at Ethan, he ordered, "Have Austin polish up the proposal and prepare a presentation. Tell him that he will be hosting the meeting next week."He gave out instructions out of habit. Only after he finished speaking did he remember that Liesel was the current CEO of Hardin Group.He paused."Lili, do you think this is fine?"Liesel lowered her gaze and said nothing.This was a rare opportunity. For an average employee, Austin's performance was extraordinary. If he really had what it took, then Elijah would definitely give him a chance

Howard looked very restrained today. He looked like the perfect example of a refined degenerate.No one would have been able to guess that this was the person who had refined that tacky drone.Liesel walked into his office with both hands in her pockets."What's the matter, Ms. Sharp?" Howard put on his glasses. He looked down at his laptop screen, and his side profile appeared serious and focused. "To help you achieve your KPI, I've been working overtime round the clock.""Thanks for your hard work," Liesel said with a rare gentleness in her voice."Hmph! I'm glad you're aware of it."Liesel nearly burst out laughing.So Howard also had a soft side beneath his aloof exterior."Tell me, why did you come here? You never come here without a reason," Howard said a little grumpily while glancing up at Liesel.Liesel bowed her head to stifle her amusement. "Is the research and development into your smart system complete yet?""It's already in the safety performance testing phase."

Howard's tacky drone was still following Liesel, but she didn't stop in her tracks. With the presentation that she'd just prepared, she paid a visit to several renowned investors in Ashthorne. She didn't meet many people; she simply set up a meeting with a few people that Elijah knew very well at Heritage Hotel.She had invited Tobey, the Walker brothers, as well as Neal and Jordan.Despite the blunder that happened in the past, everyone remained cordial.Liesel didn't just set up this gathering to raise funds, but she also wanted to give Elijah a chance to get out and about. It would be good for him to see some friends.Chelsea couldn't make it. Top Trainee was about to wrap up, so she couldn't miss any training.Tobey always had an opinion when it came to Liesel. However, when he saw this investment proposal, he merely cocked an eyebrow but didn't say anything."Is this proposal real?" Jimmy was the first to speak. "If it is, then I will definitely invest."Jasper smiled but s

Right now, many people were guessing that there must be some conflict between Liesel and Elijah. They suspected that Elijah hadn't given Liesel his assets and shares voluntarily, that Liesel had forced him into it.If he had really been forced, then Austin would have given him an opportunity to go against Liesel.Unfortunately, Austin was wrong.Elijah had readily gifted everything to Liesel. He was willing to take a back seat for Liesel to shine. Therefore, Austin's attempt to drive them apart had ended up becoming a joke.Since he liked stirring trouble and skipping levels in the chain of command, then Liesel wanted him to face the music."So is this proposal real? If it is, then I'll invest." When Jimmy saw the proposal, he was ready to throw his money at it.Liesel smiled slightly. "With Hardin Group and Shifter Corporation as a guarantee, I promise that this proposal is real.""Then I'll invest," Jimmy said. No one wouldn't go for such a promising vision. The people here we

"As far as I know, the son of the wealthiest man of the neighboring city, Thomas Keller, is in Ashthorne and even working for Hardin Group. My people tell me that he has been watching Liesel. Elijah, don't you feel threatened?" Tobey asked, going straight to the point.Feel threatened?Of course, Elijah did.However, he just thought that it was true that he didn't deserve Liesel."You're overthinking." Elijah's eyes turned gloomy, and he didn't seem to want to continue the conversation.Seeing him like this made Tobey scoff in anger. "Fine, do whatever you want. I can't control you."He left in a huff.Elijah didn't move. He remained on the balcony, gazing at the tall buildings and twinkling lights.Tobey left the private room. From afar, he spotted Liesel leaning against a wall while talking leisurely on the phone. She seemed to be handling a work matter.He stalked over and snatched the phone out of her hands. Liesel was stunned for a moment. Nonetheless, when she saw Tobey,

"You say that you're Elijah's best friend. Well then, tell me what I should do in this situation. What do I need to do to help Elijah go back to his free-spirited and untamed self?"Do you want me to spend every day by his side, telling him that I love him? Is that enough? Would he believe me if I just repeated those words?"Rather than repeating myself, why not fix his legs and help him stand again? Only by helping him stand on his two feet again would he naturally return to the Elijah that we all know so well instead of the Elijah who's nearly depressed and down in the dumps!"It's because he loves me that he thinks that he doesn't deserve me with his legs broken. He wants to give me the best things in the world, and that includes the best lover. He's only like this because he doesn't think he's good enough."And because I love him, I will help him stand up again, no matter what it takes. Only when he stands up again will he fight for things again and have my back again."Liesel

To Elijah, it sounded like Liesel was saying, "Tonight, I'll become yours."She pushed his wheelchair to the master bedroom. Right now, his inability to walk made things easier for her instead. Sitting on his lap, she hooked her arms around his neck, whimpering. In the end, any movement coming from them turned into a quiet moan from the back of her throat. He listened to her syrupy voice. She was the one forcing him, but in the end, she was the one who cursed him with a sob, "Jerk."Well, he was a jerk, wasn't he? She had to practically force him into doing this.What a jerk, Elijah.However… he was really pleased to be able to so clearly feel someone love him so deeply. She knew that he was pulling away, so she tried to pull him out of his shell."Thank you," he said. His voice was husky and listless with pleasure.She propped her chin on his shoulder, gasping for breath. Her body collapsed into a heap, and her mind was spinning. However, in the next moment, Elijah wrapped his

Become Liesel's? Did she mean that she wanted to do it with him?Elijah felt a little helpless. Before he could say anything, Liesel crossed her arms and looked at him. "Are you going to say that I'm messing around again?"Elijah, I'm not. I really just want to be with you. You know I'm a carnivore. If you keep me on a vegetarian diet, I'll get upset."She was already blatantly spouting nonsense.The reason they had never gone all the way in the past was out of concern for her health.Moreover, although Elijah looked like the epitome of a playboy who wasn't serious about relationships, it couldn't be further from the truth. In actuality, he was a purist when it came to love.He felt that since he hadn't properly proposed to Liesel and taken her to be his wife yet, he couldn't go all the way with her. It was out of respect for her.However, it was clear that Liesel wanted to completely ruin his plan.Elijah had a vague idea as to why Liesel was doing this.She understood him

"I have a guess as to who was behind this. Charles wouldn't do something crazy now, so it must either be Dash or Augustine. They must want to drag me down."Let me guess how those people are cursing at me right now. Has Thomas' real identity been found out? I bet that they think I'm trying to suck up to him in order to use the Keller family's power to help Hardin Group out of tough times. "Or perhaps, they think that I've betrayed you and chosen the Keller family over you."It had to be between those possibilities. Liesel could guess as much even with her eyes closed.She couldn't help but laugh quietly. "I bet people are already feeling bad for Mr. Hardin for getting kicked to the curb by an unfaithful woman like me."Mr. Hardin, have I dumped you?" She leaned closer to him. Her seductively warm breath wafted over his face. Elijah's face was reflected in her dark, glimmering eyes. "I haven't. We were kissing, right?"With that, she pressed her lips against his again. She kissed

The door to the private room opened.Liesel wasn't surprised to see Elijah. She merely raised an eyebrow, and her gaze brushed over Thomas. She gave him a small nod and said, "Head home early."Then, she walked toward Elijah. As soon as she approached, his assistant instinctively stepped aside. Liesel took hold of Elijah's wheelchair and began pushing him out of the room. The two of them chatted and laughed as they left.Thomas remained seated on the cold, hard floor with his back pressed against the icy wall. A deep ache spread through his chest.Both of them were so comfortable with each other. The way Liesel looked at Elijah was warm and filled with joy—completely different from how she looked at him.When Liesel looked at him, her eyes held a hint of appreciation, but nothing more. Just as she had said, she admired him, but her gaze had never carried the emotions of a woman in love.To her, he was nothing more than a fleeting presence in her life. But when she looked at Elija
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 634
Thomas trembled slightly at the thought and smirked at himself mockingly.As he studied Elijah, Elijah was quietly observing him in return.This wasn't Elijah's first time meeting Thomas.On the day of the interview, Elijah had caught a glimpse of him in passing. Back then, Thomas had radiated confidence and defiance, like a proud lion ruling the prairie. But now, he looked like a rabbit with tear-streaked, bloodshot eyes.Although calling him a rabbit wasn't entirely accurate, the redness in his eyes was undeniable.Had he confessed again? It seemed he had been rejected yet another time.Elijah's hand rested on the armrest of his wheelchair as he gazed at Thomas calmly. He didn't question Thomas' relationship with Liesel because he trusted her completely. If anything, at this moment, Elijah found Thomas pitiful.Thomas didn't know what Elijah was thinking. Seeing Elijah's frail state filled him with shame. Pursuing Liesel behind Elijah's back now felt utterly disgraceful.He c

Thomas stood up stiffly. He kept his head bowed, and his devastated face was hidden in shadow."I'm sorry, Liesel," he said. His voice was choking with emotion. "But I really like you... I didn't want to cause you trouble. I just couldn't stop myself from falling for you."Liesel kept her gaze fixed on him. "I know," she replied calmly. "But I still have to say no."Her rejection was as straightforward as it was merciless. "My love is Elijah—now and always. Thomas, don't waste your time on me. Focus on your own life. "Pursue someone who's truly right for you. One day, you'll find the person meant to be with you." "I'm sorry," Thomas muttered. "I guess I've been too immature... but my feelings for you have always been genuine."He looked at her, and his words carried a depth of affection that refused to be contained. Then, without another word, he turned and headed for the door.Liesel silently watched the tall figure retreat. "Thomas, you'll find the right person someday,"
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 632
Thomas was momentarily stunned. After a brief pause, he hurriedly blurted out, "I'll go abroad with you!"His reaction was quick, but his words came out before his thoughts could catch up. It was an impulsive response."Then what about my career? What about my dreams?" Liesel gazed at him while saying firmly, "Will you ask the woman you love to give up everything she's worked so hard to achieve just to be with you? Do you even know how much effort it took for her to reach where she is today? "What gives you the right to destroy it all? What gives you the right to demand she abandon everything and start over from scratch?"Thomas, the least you could do for someone you love is to not make their life worse. Do you understand that? Do you realize how many people are already speculating about my relationship with you?"If you step forward now, they'll pounce on the opportunity to ridicule me. They'll say I'm promiscuous, that I dumped Elijah in favor of someone with greater wealth
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 631
Liesel looked at Thomas, who was on the verge of tears, and couldn't help but pinch the bridge of her nose. "Don't cry," she said.The tears Thomas had been holding back streamed down his cheeks instantly. For the first time, Thomas disobeyed her."You rejected me, and now you won't even let me cry! I just feel so wronged," he said. His expression was heartbreakingly vulnerable, like a child abandoned by the world.And wasn't that exactly what was happening? Thomas was about to be cast aside by Liesel. How could he not be devastated?If Thomas let himself cry fully, he reckoned he would drown the world in his tears.He couldn't help it and reached out to grab Liesel's hand. "Can't you love me too? Please?"The tall young man knelt before her. He was being completely sincere."Thomas, I already love someone else," Liesel said softly. "I love Elijah, and he loves me. He treats me so well."You shouldn't waste your time on me. One day, you'll meet someone who's right for you. But

Thomas asked if the miscarriage hurt. "Did it hurt?"He didn't think about anything else. His first thought was whether Liesel had suffered and been in pain.Liesel's throat tightened. A self-mocking smile flashed across her face.Did it hurt?Of course, it did.She had felt pain when she divorced. She had felt pain whenever she saw Jacob. She had felt pain when she lost their child.For a long time, every time she closed her eyes, she would be haunted by nightmares. She would dream of a child calling her "Mommy." The child would cry and beg her not to leave.Compared to that, physical pain was nothing.Even now, whenever she saw children on the street, she would think of the life that never had the chance to be born.Liesel lowered her gaze in silence. Thomas felt his throat tighten.But it was only for a moment. In the next second, all the darkness and pain in his eyes disappeared. "I don't care! I only care if you're hurting!"Thomas wiped his face, discreetly brushing aw
