Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 596
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

"Can I take a day off?" Thomas asked. Liesel understood how he was feeling at that moment and smiled. "If one day isn't enough, you can take a few more days off."Liesel was still so gentle. She was so kind that Thomas felt more despair inwardly. Before leaving, he stopped to intentionally remind her. "Ms. Sharp, be careful of Austin whenever I'm not around."Although Thomas wasn't permitted to join the meeting earlier, he heard from those working at the research department that Austin was clearly harboring sinister motives."Why are you so certain that Austin's the problem and not me?""That's impossible. Ms. Sharp, you're the best person in this entire world. You would never betray the company." Thomas' words were filled with utmost confidence toward Liesel. "What if I stole company secrets and went to jail for that?" Liesel asked with an arched eyebrow. "That's not possible! Ms. Sharp, you would never do anything like that.""I said 'what if'.""There's no 'what if'."

Jacob glanced at Liesel, who looked at him with sarcasm in her eyes. There was no affection for him at all. "You refused to accept me and decided to go for Elijah. Now that he's crippled, you're choosing that man over me? Liesel, what can he even give you?"Jacob looked downward at Kitty in Liesel's arms. Kitty seemed to feel Jacob's disdain toward itself and began to tremble. "He even picked up this present from the streets."Indeed, Jacob had been keeping tabs on Liesel and was even here to spy on her. Otherwise, how else would he have known that Thomas was by her side? Liesel stopped petting Kitty. At that moment, her smirk faded away. "What does that have to do with you? Mr. Ford, have you forgotten who you are? You're merely my ex-husband, whom I've already divorced. You don't have the right to interfere in anything I do."Liesel mentioned him as her ex-husband to trigger him. Jacob couldn't help but clench his fists while staring at her icily."Must you trigger me?""I

Liesel was really capable of making Thomas fall for her. Had she known who he truly was and decided he could be of use? Was she planning to rise higher in the ranks?Elijah was lovesick for Liesel, but Austin still remembered how ruthless Elijah could be. If Elijah found out that Liesel had cheated on him, he might even want to ruin her completely and never protect her again.After all, how could anyone stand being cheated on? By then, not only would Austin have Elijah get back at Liesel, but Austin wanted the whole internet to know how scandalous Liesel could be. If Cameron knew how Liesel had seduced Thomas despite having a fiancé, Cameron would never let her off easily as well.As glorious as Liesel was now, she would be equally as miserable in the future. Despite being wealthy and powerful, she was still fragile no matter how capable she was. Austin wouldn't even have to do anything. All he had to do was lead her to the top before pushing her off. Liesel would crash and bur
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 601
Liesel couldn't hold back her laughter at Elijah's expression. "Are you angry?" She had clearly seen his eye twitching. Elijah was an extremely attractive man who did not resemble Jacob and Tobey's aloof demeanor at all. Instead, Elijah had chiseled features and stunning eyes. His intense gaze would make anyone feel like he only had eyes for them. Elijah had the looks of a troublemaker, yet he seemed strangely vulnerable at that moment. Liesel reached out and gently poked his face. "Why no response? Didn't someone say that Thomas' family and looks match me well? Didn't he even want to let me go so I could be with him? Why is this person so quiet now?"Elijah said nothing. He looked down while clearly feeling disheartened. "I remember you're always the best at explaining how life works to me. Why aren't you saying anything? Thomas has already confessed that he really loves me. Don't you want to know my answer?"Liesel leaned against Elijah. She pressed her forehead against his

Liesel's gaze flickered as she waited for Elijah's response. Struggle was written all over his gaze as he looked past her. He was lost in a daze. Her words seemed to pull him into the future.Elijah watched Liesel slowly drifting away from him. He could only sit in his wheelchair as if he were a spectator and watch her run toward another man's arms from a distance.He saw how affectionate she was with the other man, doing things only lovers would do. The way she cast a charming smile at the other man…No. Absolutely not.Elijah was still unable to let Liesel go so easily. She was his lover, so he refused to let her leave. He drew her into his embrace with one arm and held her tightly. "Lili, I was wrong." The hoarseness in his voice was quite evident. "I can't accept the idea of you leaving me. I don't even want to imagine it. Please don't be with Thomas." To Liesel, the current Elijah seemed extremely fragile. A slight push could cause him to break down. She could feel his swe

"Elijah.""Yes, I'm here," Elijah answered."Elijah," Liesel yelled again. "Yes, I'm listening," Elijah replied again. He stroked her soft, long hair with a warm gaze. "I assume you've thought things through," Liesel said. She assumed that he had considered everything and gave up on the idea of leaving her so someone else would take care of her. Instead, he would always be with her.Elijah understood what Liesel meant. He gazed at her gently before leaning forward to kiss her on the forehead. "Yes, I've thought things through."Elijah would not hold Liesel back. He would propose to her if she could heal him and give her everything. If she fell for someone else during that time, he also would not forbid her from leaving him.Elijah loved Liesel, but she would always have her freedom. He knew very well that he loved her, but he always wanted her to be free forever.He wanted her to stay by his side because she loved him, not because she pitied him. It was the only way he could

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
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 633
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
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 630
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
