Semua Bab Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back: Bab 571 - Bab 580

Seeing her expression, Edward spoke slowly. His voice was calm."Jacob would rather stay single and wait for Liesel, who will never return, than look at you. Don't you hate that? Charles mocks you and belittles you—don't you hate that?"Natalie, if you have any backbone, you'll make the right choice."Natalie didn't respond. She was deep in thought and wrestling with her emotions.Edward watched her intently.After a moment of silence, Natalie still hadn't spoken. Edward didn't move to get out of the car. He let her drive halfway, then asked her to stop."My patience is limited. Give me an answer soon, or I'll look for a new partner."Edward's tone remained even as he added, "I won't wait for you forever."Just as he was about to exit the car, Natalie called out to him. "I agree to work with you."Jacob turned and looked back at her. "Good choice."……Two months passed quickly, and Hardin Group's research department was finally up and running at full speed.Thomas had succe

"You haven't eaten yet?" Liesel raised an eyebrow. Her voice was cool.Seeing her indifferent expression, Elijah felt his throat tighten. His emotions swirled. He had been drenched in soup, and the others had rushed to check on him, but Liesel had just watched without a word. Even after he invited her to meet him, she hadn't shown up.A cold feeling crept over him.The temperature in the office felt as though it had dropped to freezing point. The windows were closed, but a subtle draft still managed to sneak in, despite it being summer.Sean stood at the door, glancing nervously inside while holding some documents. Elijah only gave him an expressionless glance, and Sean fled without a word. His face was pale.But Liesel didn't leave. She stood up and walked toward the door.Elijah assumed she was about to leave. He gripped his tie tightly. His knuckles turned white with tension.Nearby, a coat rack stood with a brand-new suit hanging on it. Liesel walked over and lightly adjus

And Thomas? Though he had a reputation for being reckless, Thomas had been raised with strong moral values by Cameron. His upbringing instilled a sense of respect for others, especially women.His rebellious streak was more about seeking thrills—racing cars, making music, and indulging in extreme sports. In brief, Thomas was still just a boy.Liesel would be his first love, and he would offer his pure, passionate, and sincere devotion to her.Elijah couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness. He knew he couldn't compare to Thomas at all. He didn't have the stable, happy family that Thomas had, and now, he didn't even have his health. Meanwhile, Liesel remained as radiant as ever. Elijah knew he wasn't worthy of someone like her.If it were Jacob, Elijah would have fought to keep her and done whatever it took to have her by his side. But with Thomas… Elijah almost felt like he should step aside and let him have her.It was laughable, really.When Elijah had pursued Liesel, he h

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.

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."
