Chapter 544 I Like Everything About You
Eli’s eyes drooped as she stared into space.
She knew that it was Stella and she could roughly guess what Stella had said from Sean’s reply. She felt a little uneasy. She took a deep breath and buried herself under the quilt.
Sean noticed Eli’s unusual behavior. He put his hand on her shoulder and said softly, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m hungry,” Eli said with a sob.
Sean lowered his head and kissed her on the back. He called his men and asked, “Are you done yet?”
“We’ll be there in ten minutes,” one of his subordinates reported.
“Hurry up,” Sean urged.
“Yes, sir.”
The food that he had ordered arrived soon after, and so did his clothes. A large group of men had shown up outside her door.
He ate with her while his people guarded the door outside. They were fully armed and waiting to be commanded. They blocked all the exits, ensuring that no rumors would be spread.
Eli felt a little depressed. She took a deep breath and looked at Sean.
He was calm and relaxed. He even seemed to be in a good mood. The corners of his mouth were constantly curved into a smile.
“Don’t you think that you’re making it more obvious with your men standing outside?” Eli asked in confusion.
“Apart from being my personal assistant and taking care of my diet and work needs, you are also my primary school and junior high school classmate. Since you have returned home, it’s natural for me to come and have dinner with you,” Sean explained.
“You say these things so naturally. Have you forgotten what you did earlier? How could you act all high and mighty now,” Eli said in disgust.
Sean knocked on her head and said, “You’ve learned how to talk back after spending some time D Country. I guess I don’t need to worry about the language skills that the kids have over there.”
Eli lowered her eyes at the mention of children, Fortunately, she was smart and she had her tubes tied before returning to the country. Otherwise, she might get pregnant again since Sean did not use a condom just now.
Sean put a chicken wing on her plate and said, “Eat more. You’ve lost weight.”
Eli fiddled with the food on her plate, “I heard that your parents died because they killed Frederick’s mother. They even committed suicide out of fear of punishment from your interrogation.”
Sean’s eyes turned dim, “It was all for the Yaleman Family. I’ll tell you about it slowly in the future. After you’ve finished eating, you’ll come back home with me.”
Tell her about it slowly?
She guessed that he was reluctant to tell her about it, and that was why he gave her such a vague answer.
She did not want to know too much about it either.
After the meal.
Eli was asked to change into a white suit, black trousers, a man’s wig, a pair of sunglasses, and a new pair of shoes.
She thought that it was rather funny. Sean had just said that it was normal for him to have a meal with his primary school classmate just now. Why was he trying to disguise her as another person now?
Sean stood at the door, arms crossed in front of his chest. He watched as she changed her clothes.
He realized that although she was thin, her body was fit, “Do you frequent the gym now?”
“Do you think that people like me would go to the gym?” Eli asked with a smile.
Sean raised his eyebrows. Indeed, she had never fancied exercising. If he had asked her to exercise, she would definitely roll her eyes at him.
“How did you get your abs then?” Sean asked.
“I started practicing martial arts. I’ve almost been assassinated many times. If I don’t pick up some self-defense skills, I think that I’ll die soon,” Eli said.
“Oh?” Sean did not think that she would have been able to be so skilled in a mere six months. Even the big shots in the martial arts world have all trained hard for at least five years before they could have something to show for it.
However, he didn’t want to upset her. With a doting smile, he said, “Next time, let’s spar and see your skills.”
Eli was speechless.
She thought of the time they spent when were in her room just now. She couldn’t even move when his body was above hers, “It’s fine. There’s no fun in sparring with you. I can’t bear to hurt your noble body.”
Sean laughed brightly.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Eli felt embarrassed. She knew that he was laughing at her, “What the hell are you laughing at?”
He patted her head and said, “Don’t curse. You are setting a bad example for our child.”
Eli frowned and said, “Don’t talk about children. I’ll think of our child.”
Sean nodded. He didn’t think that their son was dead. From the looks of it, she must’ve hidden him away. He didn’t probe further but instead said, “It’s a little cold outside. Layer two shirts on so that you’ll look bigger.”
“D*mn it, why didn’t you tell me earlier? I’m already dressed, and besides, where am I supposed to get another shirt?”
Sean took off the shirt on his body.
Eli was annoyed. She would just let him freeze to death!
Sean picked up the shirt and said, “I’ll help you put it on if you don’t want to trouble yourself.”
Eli snatched the shirt from his hand. “Thanks. I can do it myself.”
Sean looked at her from head to toe after she was dressed.
Eli put on her glasses and said, “We can go now.”
Sean smiled,. “It seems that this sort of disguises only works in movies. Your chest looks so weird.”
Eli rolled her eyes, “Are you trying to cover it up or are you trying to fool me? Come, tell me, I promise I’ll try my best to do the absolute opposite.”
Sean smiled happily and picked her up. “I like you when you’re acting like this.”
Eli hit him with her head.
They had met each other when they were in the fifth grade.
She used to eat a lot when she was a child. Girls would usually develop faster than boys. She hit puberty early and started growing taller in the fifth grade. She was rather… tall and strong, hence she was arranged by the teacher to sit in the last row.
He was also arranged to be in the last seat when he was in the fifth grade. He was separated from her by a corridor.
Perhaps it was her problem, or perhaps, it was everyone else’s. Everyone seemed to find him so handsome.
When she was still studying hard during her fifth grade, many girls began to write love letters to him.
There were so many love letters that they would fall out from his drawer.
She was young and curious. Hence, she picked up one of the letters and read it.
The message in the letter was, “You are the sun in the sky, and I am the grass on the ground. When I see you, I smile.”
She almost died of laughter when she read it. The content in the love letter was completely absurd. One was in the sky, one was on the ground. If they were to approach each other, they would only burn. How could grass smile when the sun was close to it? How hilarious.
She really wanted to know who amongst her classmates had written that note. After looking closer at it, she realized that… there wasn’t a name on the note.
After she finished reading it, she threw the letter back into his drawer, and he happened to catch her in the act.
He took out the letter that she had read from the drawer, glanced at it, and wrote back.
She opened it out of curiosity.
He was so rude. She roughly remembered what he had written, “You are like a chubby piglet in the pigsty, and I am the farm owner with a stick. If you must like me, then, I could only tell you that I hate eating pork very much. If you still insist on pestering me, please let me shout at you rudely: Get lost.”
By the way, I forgot that pigs aren’t able to understand such complicated words. So, B Y E.”
When she saw his reply, she was so angry that she went to beat him up. Oh, no, it seemed that she was the one who got beaten up.
From then on, she would stay away from him whenever she saw him.
