His Dangerous Love

Chapter 84 Can She Not Panic

Chapter 84 Can She Not Panic

With someone hidden in the room, how could she not panic?

Elianna made a great effort to hide her emotions. "Why should I panic? You just startled me."

Asher remained silent, frowning as he continued to stare at Elianna. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that something was off.

Lately, she had been opposing him at every turn, so why was she so readily handing over the money now?

Could it be...

Elianna had a guilty conscience, and under Asher's scrutiny, she thought he might have figured something out.

Her heart pounded harder and harder, as if it might leap out of her throat at any moment.

"You..." Asher furrowed his brow, his eyes filled with suspicion. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Elianna unconsciously glanced at the bathroom, already preparing in her mind how to respond if she were discovered.

"Are you trying to blackmail me with this money?" Asher asked, his voice choking Elianna's throat. She took two deep breaths before finding her voice again.

"Why would I blackmail you?" she replied.

Asher sneered at her deliberate attempt to play dumb. "Do you even need to ask? Of course, it's to force me into consummating our marriage."

Elianna was lost for words.

Did he have so much confidence in himself that he thought it was worth so much money for her to buy this?

While Elianna was left speechless, Jefferson, hearing that they hadn't consummated their marriage yet, felt a bit relieved and stopped just next to the bathroom door.

So, after all this time, his little brother had been passive and uninterested.

Feeling more relaxed, he began to examine the bathroom. It was a small space with pink and white towels hanging on the walls.

On the sink, there was only one set of toothbrushes and toothpaste, not at all like the belongings of a married woman.

Meanwhile, the argument outside continued.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in you or your little thing. You can take the money and leave," Elianna said, extending the corner of the card toward Asher, her expression showing her disgust at the idea of any contact with him.

Asher, who had been worried that Elianna would take this opportunity to pester him, was surprised to see her so impatient. His heart hurt a little.

Clearly, the Elianna he used to know wasn't like this.

He remembered when they first started their relationship, there was joy in her eyes as she looked at him. She often stared at him for a long time without saying a word.

At the time, he thought her behavior was somewhat silly and not at all like the lively and adorable Kenley.

But now, when those eyes no longer focused on his every move and even showed impatience and irritation, he realized that he didn't feel as relieved as he had imagined.

Elianna saw that he didn't take the card and handed it to him forcefully. "I've given you the card. You can leave now."

There was a time bomb in the bathroom, and she just wanted to get Asher out as quickly as possible. She didn't notice the discomfort on Asher's face.

He stepped forward, grabbing Elianna's shoulder and yelled at her, "You were the one rushing to marry me! What does your attitude mean now?"

Elianna pushed him away forcefully and said coldly, "What attitude do you want from me? Should I smile and say how great my husband is after finding out he's cheating and even bringing Kenley home for intimacy?"

Asher was choked by her words and couldn't say anything. He was angry and embarrassed.

"Why do you look like this now? I clearly don't like Kenley. Isn't that obvious enough?" he said angrily.

Elianna couldn't be bothered to argue with him about those past matters. She pointed to the door. "Once you step out of this door, you can like whomever you want. I don't want to bother with it, and don't expect me to shed tears over your infidelity and write an 800-word self-critique."

Despite being the one who had been abandoned, she remained indifferent, as if she didn't care who he was with.

It had to be said that this version of Elianna was much more lively than her previous reserved and awkward self.

She seemed to have just finished a bath, her hair emitting a fragrance mixed with moisture.

The strappy dress that should have had some room was sticking to her skin due to the dampness, accentuating her slender waist.

He suddenly recalled her sitting on the sofa and eating strawberries a few days ago.

She bit off the tip of the strawberry with her rosy lips, a sweet aroma wafting from between them.

A strange feeling of heat welled up in Asher's chest.

Instead of leaving, he stepped forward again.

"Why should I leave? This is my home, and you are my fiancée. I'll do whatever I want!" he declared.

Whether this statement was directed at Elianna or himself, he wasn't sure.

But once he said it, he leaned in and kissed Elianna forcefully.
