Elliot carried Sophia on his shoulder. "You can punch me when we get back."Sophia shouted, "Put me down, you jerk!"Ignoring her cries, Elliot carried her toward his room.Sophia was angry and anxious as she pounded at him. However, it only caused her hands to ache. The two rooms were adjacent, so the couple arrived in just a few steps. Elliot then slammed the door after entering.He threw his wife on the bed, and she furiously lunged toward him, roaring, “You dick!”Elliot lay on the bed and allowed her to hit him until she grew tired. Then, he turned over and hugged her. "I just wanted to help them reconcile. I didn’t know this would happen. I just asked Hamish what happened, and he told me it was all a misunderstanding.“He mentioned coming here to Vanessa, and she told Mary. Mary thought it was a business trip, so she followed Hamish onto the plane. Hamish feared Xena would misunderstand and wanted to buy Mary a return ticket. He didn’t think Xena would see him."Sophia did
Elliot pressed her down onto the bed, softly calling out to her with gentle kisses.Sophia closed her eyes, enjoying the pleasure he brought her. She felt how he kissed her, how he gradually deepened the kiss, and how he kissed every reachable part of her lips.Her face flushed, and her whole body panting as if lacking oxygen. Her hands nervously pulled at Elliot’s shirt buttons.Elliot nearly lost control. He hurriedly responded, unbuttoning her shirt until he removed her top entirely. They did not sleep much that night.First, they spent a long time in the bathroom, and then they returned to the bedroom. Sophia thought she could finally sleep peacefully, but unexpectedly, they had another round. Before, when they were not together, she could not imagine how intimate Elliot would be.It was bad enough to make her suspect that he had countless experiences with women. Otherwise, how could he be so experienced? However, Sophia fell asleep without finding an answer. She was just too
"I still can’t accept seeing you and Elliot all sweet and bubbly, and he's already caused such a mess for me. What's going on? Is he seriously ill?" Sophia gently patted her back, "Xena, listen to me. I wanted to talk to you about this last night when I came to see you, but you were out. Have you ever thought that Mary could orchestrate all of this?“She knew Hamish was coming to see you, so she followed him onto the plane. Then, when Hamish mentioned going to see you, she put on a completely innocent look, saying she was going back to Phoenix and wouldn't disturb you.“Hamish naturally felt guilty. Sending her off on the plane was just a polite gesture. Mary couldn't bear to leave like that, so she must have done something to get your attention. She knew that no matter how Hamish explained, you would think he was a scumbag. So, she achieved her goal. Think back to why you looked over at Hamish at that moment?"Xena thought for a moment and said, "She seemed to have fallen, and th
Hamish replied, "I know. I didn't doubt her."Elliot interjected, "If you didn't doubt her, why did you ask her?"Hamish explained hesitantly, "I just wanted to clear things up. I was worried that if I mentioned Mary's return home, her parents would blame her again, and she would be upset. I was just worried. Actually, I could feel Mary's return, and it seems like her parents have started disliking her."Elliot remarked, "Well, isn't that clear to you? In your heart, you regard Mary as kind and innocent, so why would her parents start disliking her when she returns? Why would you break up with Xena when she returns?“Why would she come over with you on a business trip, stirring up so much trouble? Have you ever thought about it?"Hamish, feeling puzzled by his words, asked, "What do you mean?"Elliot sighed, "You can't seem to figure out who you really want. If you want Mary, then everything you did today is okay. But if you want Xena, isn't what you did a bit strange? You said y
Hamish left Elliot's room and returned to Xena's, noticing his luggage at the door. He knocked twice, but no one answered. Hamish knocked twice more but still received no response.He wondered if she left or if she knew it was him knocking and chose not to open the door. A housekeeper holding a broom passed by and said, "The guests in this room left.""When did she leave?""About half an hour ago. The lady threw out the luggage and clothes from inside and told me to toss them as far as possible. I guess she might’ve fought with someone, so I helped tidy up and put the clothes here. Just in case they make up later and need to find them."Hamish thought, ‘She must really hate me.’"Thank you. This luggage is mine."She looked at him, "It's yours? You look quite handsome. How did you manage to upset your girlfriend like this?"Hamish awkwardly replied, "Lack of experience.""Experience doesn't matter regarding relationships. Sincerity is what matters, and ladies can always feel th
Both stopped and looked at Sophia. Xena was puzzled while the man's face was full of surprise. "Why are you here?"Sophia's mouth twitched. "I was about to ask you the same thing. What are you doing here?"Her mood was still inexplicably complex to see Chester again. Genetically speaking, the man in front of her was her second elder brother. Although, he had once betrayed Phoebe's deep affection and deserved his current fate.If she had persuaded Phoebe a little bit back then, maybe he and Phoebe would have had a different outcome.He liked Phoebe, but Elizabeth’s grace just blinded him. Thinking back, she felt like she had messed up his marriage.Ah! What a mess!Chester said, "This is my brother's home."Sophia was even more surprised. "Your brother? Who? Chase?""No, my third brother, Avery."Sophia was stunned. "Avery? You mean Quintus?"Chester frowned, looking at Sophia in surprise. "You know about Quintus? Who are you?"Sophia remained silent.Oh no, this chatterbox
Before long, a car drove out into the yard with a man at the wheel and Charlene in the passenger seat. There was also a figure in the back seat, vaguely discernible as a man, whom she guessed to be Quintus.Their protection really was airtight! Chester let them go first while he got into their car. Sophia was speechless for a moment. Were they afraid they might run away?Throughout the journey, Sophia felt somewhat uneasy, hesitating whether to call Elliot. But how could she explain the situation if she did call? Did she and Xena take a break at Crystal River Cove?“If she had to explain, she would have to reveal that she was Visage from Black Den. It was inconvenient with Chester sitting behind her. Although she knew her brother would not just stand by if her life were in danger, their different positions meant they were destined to fight for their causes. It wouldn't be good if their leader found out they were from Black Den. If Inferno Alliance and Underworld Palace coopera
Sophia did not know what to say and just looked at him without a word. Elliot was puzzled. He took her hand and said, "Don't you recognize your husband?"Sophia was in disbelief, "You're the Chief of Inferno Alliance?"Elliot nodded with a smile, "Yes, I am."Sophia was speechless with anger. She pushed him away forcefully and sat in the chair. Elliot sat down beside her, wanting to hug her, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"Sophia turned her head away to ignore him. If she had known he was the Chief of Inferno Alliance, why did she bother? Sophia even made a trip to Bermill for this matter. Didn't she tell him? He was so infuriating and not revealing even the slightest hint.Elliot got up and moved to the other side. But Sophia turned her head away once more, refusing to acknowledge him.The others dared not speak but exchanged glances, expressing surprise, shock, and curiosity. They had never seen their Chief be so gentle with anyone, let alone Sophia. Who was she to make their Ch
