Only then did Liesel put on a smile and kiss him beside his ear. "Wait for me at home."Upon hearing that, Elijah gave her palm a squeeze before letting her go.Austin observed them from afar, not daring to go closer.Liesel's gaze swept over him. Her eyes glinted slightly.She had set up the stage for him to put on a show. Then, once it was over, she had torn it down so that he'd fall.She hadn't done that because she was petty and couldn't allow a subordinate to surpass her. She had other ideas.A desperate dog would try to jump over a wall, and a distressed rabbit would try to kick a hawk. A person would naturally lose their composure when they were anxious. Liesel wanted to see what Austin's real intention was.The elevator opened, and Liesel's subordinates entered one after another. Austin followed then, shrinking stiffly in a corner. They were all colleagues from the same department, but there was a clear divide between the two camps.Some were already quietly criticizing

The employees knew that if it weren't for Liesel securing such a substantial budget, they wouldn't be receiving doubled bonuses. They might even receive twice the amount of their bonuses at the end of the year. "Thank you, Ms. Sharp!""Ms. Sharp, you've been working overtime at the research department lately. Why don't you go back and rest? You don't have to work overtime tonight.""Exactly. Let us handle the budget report." Several employees hurried over and genuinely voiced their concerns. Perhaps that was simply Liesel's charm. She could be assertive and intimidate others, but she also knew how to reassure them gently. Liesel knew when to be firm or gentle. She would seize any opportunity that arose so she could climb ranks faster. In comparison to Liesel, Austin was still too inexperienced. He stood at the same spot and watched her leave with a darkened gaze. No one knew what was on his mind. Liesel walked into Howard's office, followed by his drone. "A warm welcome t

Once Liesel left Hardin Group, she received a call from Thomas. She paused for a moment and did not answer the call. Although she didn't care about him lying to her, she really hated being tricked. Since he hadn't taken the initiative to bring up the matter, she did not plan to expose him either. She would merely subtly keep her distance from him.Not only was there no moon that night but there were very few stars. Since it was already September, the wind was slightly strong, and the temperature had started to drop. Liesel put on her blazer and buttoned it up before heading for the parking lot.Thomas sat under a dim street light, carrying a grey kitten in his arms. Liesel paused for a moment before hurrying toward him.Once she got closer, she noticed that Thomas had unzipped his jacket and wrapped the kitten tightly inside. Although the kitten was nestled within his warm embrace, it was still shivering as the wind was slightly chilly.Liesel's nonchalant gaze unconsciously soft

"Did you ride a motorcycle to work?" Liesel couldn't help but scowl when she noticed the helmet on the ground.There was nothing wrong with motorcycles. Liesel was merely worried that the kitten would fall sick if Thomas took it around on his motorcycle in the cold weather.Thomas picked up the helmet and put it on. "Yeah. I like riding motorcycles."Thomas was telling the truth. Cameron had purchased more than ten sports cars for him, and Thomas had left them gathering dust in the garage. Liesel couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. She had recalled the rumors about Thomas liking racing. A chilly breeze whistled loudly, sweeping past them. Liesel snatched the helmet away from Thomas and walked to her own car. "It's a bit cold today. Get in my car. Once we've bought everything, I'll drop you and the kitten off at your place."Thomas turned back to look at the corner where he had parked the beloved motorcycle he had assembled on his own. He wiped his face, feeling secretly plea

The waiter bent down and wiped the table and chairs a few more times before replying politely, "Of course, you can. "We set up these tables outside so people can have a bite after walking their dogs. It's okay to bring your pet as long as you keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't disturb other customers."Liesel finally sat down and reached for the menu. She then asked Thomas, "Do you want some beer?""You can't drink since you're driving. It's no fun for me to drink on my own." Thomas unzipped his jacket and took the kitten out to place it on the chair next to him. "What do you want to eat?" Liesel passed him the menu."You should order first, Ms. Sharp." Thomas handed the menu back to Liesel, who ordered a glass of hot milk. No hot milk was available at that restaurant, yet the waiter had intentionally hurried next door to buy some milk and serve it to Liesel.Thomas became slightly disgruntled upon noticing that the waiter's gaze was fixed on Liesel. Meanwhile, she ha

Was Elijah worried, knowing that Thomas had feelings for Liesel?Liesel felt slightly uncomfortable. She would rather Elijah directly tell her not to stop talking to Thomas. Regardless of whether Elijah was angry or jealous, she did not want him to bottle up his feelings. He must have been so jealous to see her interacting with Thomas.Liesel pursed her lips, but her expression remained unchanged. She slowly walked toward the table, wondering how she should make Thomas give up on her. She didn't want to bring up the topic all of a sudden. What if she and Elijah had guessed wrong? That was possible as well. Upon realizing that she was back, Thomas quickly pulled out the chair beside him. She stopped in her tracks for a moment before taking the seat next to him. "I'll peel these crawfish for you." Thomas put on some gloves, and Liesel did as well."Don't touch anything. These crawfish are really hot, so don't touch them. Let me peel them. I'm not afraid of the heat." Thomas sn

Within a few minutes, Liesel's bowl was filled with crawfish meat. There were only a few pieces of crawfish in Thomas' bowl. He only began filling his bowl with more crawfish upon realizing she was looking at him.He didn't mind starving and not eating a single bite as long as he could do anything for her. Not only was he smiling, but his eyes lit up with joy."Thomas, you actually don't have to peel crawfish for me." Liesel pushed her bowl of crawfish meat before him and continued earnestly, "In the future, you'll meet someone who will willingly peel crawfish for you."Thomas stopped peeling crawfish and looked up at her in confusion. He had no idea why she suddenly brought that up."I was once married. You know that, right?" Liesel brought up her painful past to Thomas right away. To her, Thomas must have genuinely fallen for her because he assumed she had never been married before. If he became aware that she was once married to Jacob, he would definitely back off and give up

Thomas never thought he would be rejected indirectly before he could even confess his feelings for Liesel. He continued eating his supper absentmindedly. After he finished supper, Liesel drove him to the entrance of a mid-range residential complex. "How much is the monthly rent here?" Liesel glanced at the condominium not far away."Two thousand dollars a month." Thomas sat in the passenger seat while hugging the grey kitten tightly. He was reluctant to get out of the car. "After paying rent, do you have enough to spend every month?" Liesel did not rush Thomas out of the car. Instead, she rolled down the windows a little so the car remained ventilated. She did not mention Thomas' identity and merely brought up a question laced with a meaningful undertone. "I don't smoke or drink. I only play games, so I have enough to spend." Since Cameron already canceled Thomas' secondary card long ago, Thomas hadn't lied about living off his own salary."Sounds easy for you." Liesel gazed at

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

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
