Chapter 516
“Maybe… I’m bored of this,” Elliot mumbled with his face covered by the blanket, his voice muffled and distant, carrying a hint of unease.
Sheena was genuinely angry.
“Get up!” She grabbed his ear, pulling him up from under the covers. “Elliot, look at me and say that again!”
Elliot frowned in pain. He evaded his gaze, occasionally glancing at her.
Sheena’s eyes were bloodshot from anger.
“Breaking off the engagement, breaking up, bored… Are you serious? Say it!”
Sheena practically screamed the last words. Sheena angrily pinched his lowered chin, forcing him to look at her. With a burning rage, she glared at him.
“Elliot, think carefully before you answer. This is your last chance. If you miss or waste it, no matter what reasons you have in the future, I won’t forgive you! Never!”
Her chest heaved with fury. Her eyes sparkled like stars under the dim light, but she stubbornly held back the tears. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
On her small face, anger mingled with grievances, doubts mixed with disbelief. It was evident that Elliot’s earlier words had hurt her deeply.
Elliot met her gaze. He could not stand seeing her upset or crying, and he became uneasy from her
gaze.
“Speak! Cat got your tongue?”
Under her furious gaze, Elliot suddenly became timid. “I’m not sure. I’ll think about it. I’m tired, so I’m going to sleep…”
He broke free from her grasp, retreated back into the covers, turned away, and slept with his back facing her.
Sheena stared at him as he feigned his sleep, growing even angrier by the second.
He needed to think about it again?
What did he need to think about?
Whether he wanted to be with her or not?
Sheena could not help but wonder if all men were the same, big silly heads who, once they had got something, started taking things for granted!
Sheena was never good at expressing love verbally, and tonight was the first time she earnestly told. him she loved aim.
However, he acted indifferently to her heartfelt confession?
Not only did Elliot not cherish the chance she gave him, but he also wanted to break up, claiming to be bored and needing more time to think things through!
It was the first time he turned his back to her, staying as far away as possible, sleeping on the bed as if avoiding a plague!
Did those who were favored take it for granted?
What did he think of her? Some convenient presence to be summoned at will and dismissed as desired?
Did he really believe that her fiery temper was so easy to toy with?
The more Sheena thought about it, the angrier she became, and her rage nearly burned away all her
reason.
“Elliot! You ungrateful jerk!”
She lifted her leg and forcefully kicked his firm backside.
Elliot was completely unprepared. Moreover, he was already weak to begin with.
A muffled groan escaped as he tumbled off the bed, rolling on the carpet before struggling to sit up. However, he quickly lowered his head, making sure Sheena did not notice him frowning in pain.
Sheena was stunned. Her hands instinctively reached out to help him, clearly not expecting that her kick would send Elliot flying off the bed. Yet, halfway through, she silently withdrew her hands.
The entire bedroom was covered with plush carpeting, so even if he fell, it was soft and cushioned. Besides, with his despicable behavior tonight, she felt like giving him a good beating.
One kick was already letting him off easy!
She snorted, sitting cross–legged at the edge of the bed, hands folded in frustration, looking down at him.
This ignorant man!
“Get up and kneel properly.”
Elliot attempted to support his knees with his hands, but his body was too weak. To avoid arousing Sheena’s suspicion, he decided to imitate her posture, casually sitting cross–legged on the carpet, his face expressing a cold and defiant demeanor.
Sheena stared at him in shock. “Elliot, you’re so stubborn!‘
