Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 9
Liesel was truly beautiful.With delicate facial features complemented by striking eyes, there was a coldness and emptiness to her.The red agate necklace brought out the radiance in her eyes.As she smiled, she didn't seem like her cold self from the past. Instead, she seemed more easygoing."Do I look beautiful with this necklace on?" Liesel asked. Her long fingers gently caressed the heavy and expensive red agate stone weighing on her neck.Jacob's eyes turned stormy. "Liesel, it doesn't suit you."If it didn't suit her, then what did?Liesel's smile broadened. She grinned at him. "It doesn't matter whether it suits me or not as long as I like it."Although she was saying that she liked the red agate necklace, it sounded to Jacob that she was saying that she liked Elijah instead.Liesel took out her phone to take a photo of herself.Perhaps it was because of how close the camera was, but the picture seemed a bit fuzzy.Even though it had been taken without any filters, sh

Seeing that Liesel looked like she was about to raise her hackles, Elijah was somehow reminded of wild black-footed cats. They were unrestrained but packed a strong punch"Have a look at this. I wonder if you'd be interested, Ms. Sharp." Elijah handed a document to Liesel.After merely taking a glance, Liesel looked up to see Elijah cocking his head at her and signaling her to continue reading.Liesel looked down again. However, on the inside, she was once again shocked by his innovation.He was actually thinking of conducting research in the field of holography. This type of research was very expensive."Mr. Hardin, if I'm not wrong, an even more skilled team overseas had actually begun researching this six years ago. However, till today, all they have come up with is 3D projection.""Don't you want innovation, Ms. Sharp?" Elijah asked."Innovation is one thing, but having self-awareness is another."If I may ask, do you have a specialized research team, Mr. Hardin?"Do you k

Liesel glanced out the window, then back inside the car, and finally realized something was wrong.The things she had left behind were gone.Thanks to Vincent, she often rode in Jacob's car during the past three years. Over time, her presence had left a mark inside. But now, her plushie and jasmine-scented air freshener were missing.They were suddenly erased from his life, just like she had been.Noticing Liesel's gaze, Natalie spoke up with a hint of regret in her voice. "Liesel, I'm sorry. There were a lot of your things in here, but I didn't like the jasmine scent, so I had Jake change it."As for the plushie… Well, I accidentally got it dirty. I had no choice but to throw it away. I hope you don't mind, Liesel. After all, Jake couldn't really keep something dirty, right?"Natalie didn't like the jasmine scent, so she had it replaced with one she preferred. Wasn't that exactly what Jacob was doing to her? And as for that "dirty" doll, wasn't it a metaphor for her?Because of

Liesel almost felt like laughing when she heard Jacob's words.She had always known that he was extremely possessive. Even after their marriage had fallen apart, he wouldn't tolerate another man near her.Back then, she would go out of her way to please him by being gentle and thoughtful. She would always avoid any noticeable interaction with other men.But now, they were divorced.So what right did Jacob have to demand she remove the necklace? What gave an ex-husband the authority to tell his ex-wife to take off a necklace given by an admirer?Liesel looked up at Jacob. Her gaze, which was usually indifferent, now carried a fleeting hint of amusement. She simply stared at him calmly and asked, "Why should I take off the necklace?"She gently played with the expensive red agate necklace around her neck as she continued, "Don't you think it suits me?"Indeed, it did. Red was her color as compared to the calm, cold blue. She was far more suited to the bold, fiery intensity of red,

"Girls shouldn't wear formal attire every day." Vincent stated firmly. His words were quick and decisive. "No more delays. Tomorrow, take Lili to the store and let her pick out a few outfits."Jacob paused and was just about to politely decline, but Liesel smiled and shook her head gently. "Grandpa, I have work to deal with tomorrow," she said.Jacob was surprised that Liesel had turned down the offer first. His gaze darkened slightly, and he said, "Work can wait. Tomorrow, I'm taking you to Heffings to buy clothes."Heffings was a high-end luxury brand owned by Ford Corporation, with stores among the top-ranked globally. Many celebrities frequented there for custom-made clothes.Truly wealthy individuals, however, never went to such stores; they would receive photos of the latest collections and either reserve items or have them delivered directly to their homes.Since Vincent had spoken, Jacob didn't mind accompanying Liesel this time.Meanwhile, Liesel was momentarily dumbfo

Even though Liesel knew Jacob was forcing her, she couldn't easily erase her feelings for him after being together for three years.Her heart raced erratically, and she could feel his closeness. But she didn't dare to lift her head.Warm lips brushed against her temple, and Jacob's breath fanned her ear, sending heat flushing through her body. A shiver of goosebumps formed on her neck, and her limbs softened involuntarily.Liesel pushed weakly against his chest, but Jacob remained unmoved. Her voice trembled as she whispered, "Jacob, snap out of it."Jacob didn't move. His lips grazed her skin as he murmured, "It's hot..."Liesel bit down hard on her lip. Her body trembled like a leaf. She was genuinely scared.Jacob could sense her slight resistance. His scent wrapped around her like a heavy blanket."Liesel..." His voice was husky and laced with desire.Liesel's eyes reddened as she heard him whispering her name with a painful clarity."If you know I'm Liesel, then you know

Liesel loved him so much, so why was she running away?Because she couldn't continue like this. Even though she desperately wanted to lose herself in Jacob, there was still the matter of the ill-timed child growing inside her.With Jacob acting so wildly, she was truly afraid something might go wrong."Jacob, I'm not the one you love."Jacob narrowed his eyes. "But I want you."After three years, their bodies were already so familiar with one another. Just like she couldn't resist him, Jacob desired her too. Their skin pressed together, and even without going further, their bodies were already responding with pleasure.Although he knew they were divorced, some part of him still told him that Liesel was his and only his.This time, without waiting for Liesel to answer, Jacob forced another kiss on her and tied her wrists to stop her struggles.The intensity of the night stretched on until the early morning hours.Jacob had thoroughly fulfilled his desires. He left Liesel lying

"You're in the mood, aren't you?"Liesel crossed her arms and looked at Elijah, who stretched lazily. He didn't seem all that alert. She added, "Don't tell me you stayed up all night waiting for me. I wouldn't believe that for a second."Elijah tilted his head slightly. There was a document box inside the car. The top file was marked with his notes. He had only recently taken over the Hardin family business and still had a lot to learn."You know me too well," Elijah replied while drumming his fingers on the steering wheel. He had been here going over documents and waiting for Liesel, it seemed.His face softened into a smile, but just as he was about to speak, he caught sight of the exposed faint marks on her neck out of the corner of his eye.He could sense her unease and, after a brief moment of thought, understood why.Elijah discreetly looked away while maintaining his smile. He changed the subject. "You wanted to watch the sunrise, right? I know the perfect spot. Let me tak

"Shut up!" Ophelia yelled in a rage.She immediately asked the food truck owner to give her another cup of coffee before pouring it all over Veronica's calf. She was paying her back an eye for an eye.Agonized, Veronica swayed on her feet. Then, she collapsed onto the ground while gnashing her teeth in pain.Ophelia had been raised by none other than the demon himself, Edward. Since she was little, he would always stand in front of her to protect her. Ophelia knew better than anyone how he liked to deal with matters.After Edward left, she had picked up a few things from him. Naturally, she would never let herself get bullied by others."Give me a serving of fries, a taco, some churros, and a hotdog." Ophelia pointed at the menu items on the food truck and rattled on about her order to the owner, who was gaping at her.Ignoring the probing gazes of the people around her, she minded her own business and brought some fries to her mouth. Only then did she feel herself come back to l

Ophelia was so angry that she wanted to cuss at Edward. However, before she could even get mad, she heard Edward's disappointed voice. "Are you regretting this already?"Ophelia was dumbfounded. However, Edward continued slowly, "After giving it a lot of thought, you decided to abandon me. Is that it? I know I'm not good enough… I don't blame you…"Ophelia felt a headache coming on, but the anger had vanished. "No, I'm not thinking of abandoning you."The kiss yesterday had left her so excited that she hadn't slept a wink the entire night.She thought to herself, "If I don't set the record straight, Edward's going to overthink and paint me as a playgirl."She took a deep breath. "After you kissed me… I was really happy, so I only went to bed very late."Edward was obviously also caught off-guard. He hadn't expected to hear that. With delight in his eyes, he said, "I was also really happy that you let me kiss you."Ophelia hummed, and her face flushed red. "I'm really tired," she

Brandon didn't respond right away. Fred continued, "No one taught your mother and sister how to act appropriately in society. Mr. Ford is spending his precious time teaching them what to do and what not to do. Thus, they will have to suffer a bit for this."Mr. Zima, if you really want to help them, then just give your parents the bare minimum financial aid from time to time. As for your sister… you have no obligation to provide for her. Do you understand where I'm coming from?"Brandon couldn't accept it. "My sister's reputation in the industry isn't great right now. If I don't help her, then she really won't be able to survive. Mr. Ford is also an older brother. He should understand what I'm going through."Jacob loved Ophelia, and Brandon also naturally loved Yvonne. It was because of this that he wanted to try getting forgiveness from Ophelia.Fred raised his voice. "Ms. Ford is very warm and never treats people haughtily. She has never used her family background to bully oth

With a serious expression, Brandon rattled on about the various compensations for Ophelia. Fred nearly couldn't keep his facial expression under control.It seemed like everyone already knew that Ophelia was a huge fan of Chelsea's. It couldn't have been easy to think of such a compensation.The elevator arrived on the top floor, but Jacob still hadn't given his response. Therefore, Brandon hurried into his office behind Jacob and Fred. Finally, Jacob looked at him. "There is some sincerity to it."Firstly, a public apology to Ophelia on his company's Twitter account would clear her name. Secondly, the shares would be considered as financial compensation for the mental distress caused.The third form of compensation was the key point that convinced Jacob to look up. He thought that it was too difficult for Ophelia to fight for concert tickets and produce fan merchandise herself. Now that there was someone readily available to do it, Ophelia wouldn't have to work so hard.This pers

Jacob could really be heinous.Who wanted to listen to Veronica's blabbering?Most people thought that Tobey was sly, cold, and heartless. However, they didn't know that Jacob was the one who was truly wicked.In his youth, he had once been kidnapped because one of the medicines that the Ford family manufactured had threatened to undermine the profits of others. During that time, he'd suffered through endless torment.When he was rescued, his personality had turned ruthless.Although he could be monstrous, he placed great importance on his family and friends. And, Ophelia was his beloved little sister.How could he let Yvonne off the hook for scheming against Ophelia? He had to teach Yvonne that the world could be a harsh place.Not only was Yvonne stupid, but she was also very unfortunate.At first, Jacob could still tolerate how Yvonne had used Ophelia. He had just planned to give her a small taste of her medicine and stop there. However, Veronica had decided on her own accor

Vincent's expression turned cold. He wanted to kick her out of the house, but suddenly, Jacob's cold voice sounded from afar."Since our family is powerful and influential, why should we swallow our anger and surfer in silence?"Jacob had left a document at home, but because his assistant, Fred Foreman, didn't know where it was kept, he had to come home himself to get it. Unexpectedly, he overheard Veronica's haughty words when he returned.Well, a woman who was only pretending to be wealthy in a remote place was now acting superior in his home. Who would allow that to happen?All these years, Veronica had never been defied by someone younger than her before. Because she was much older, she considered herself superior. She didn't care if one was the heir to the family or the eldest son of the main family. At that moment, Jacob's words had made her rage boil over."Look! Look at the children that the Ford family has produced!"Jacob raised an eyebrow. He massaged the spot betwee

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
