Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Eli did not see the gift bag in his hand. She asked in surprise, “Have you been here before? How do you speak our dialect so well? Oh, by the way, is your girlfriend is from here?”

“My mother is from here,” Haward explained.

“What a coincidence. So did my mother.”

Haward was amused and he continued to joke, “What a coincidence. I also have two eyes and one nose.”

“You are killing me. How long are you going to stay here then?” Eli asked casually and pressed the elevator button.

“I won’t leave until I find my girlfriend,” Haward said in a low voice.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“With your appearance, ability, and character, I’m sure that you’ll be able to get your girlfriend back. Don’t worry. I am not wasting your time here, am I?” Eli asked apologetically.

AT this moment, her cell phone rang.

There were only three people who knew her number.

When she saw that it was Sean calling her, she thought for a moment before answering the call, “I’ve already arrived a moment ago. Your men should have informed you by now.”

“Do you know who Haward is?” Sean questioned angrily.

Even though she was on the phone, she could tell that he was very angry.

She was confused. She asked, “Is everything alright?”

“I’ve arranged a car for you downstairs. Make up a reason to come back now,” Sean ordered directly.

“I don’t think that that’s a good idea. I just met my friend,” Eli refused.

“Don’t make me force you to come down there,” Sean was extremely domineering.

Eli pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Sean then hung up the phone.

“Is everything alright?” Haward asked.

Eli didn’t know what was wrong with Sean. She had a bad feeling in her heart. “Sorry, I have some urgent matters to attend to. I’m afraid I have to leave first. I’m sorry I couldn’t bring you around for meals and shopping. I’ll contact you when I get the chance to.”

“What’s the matter? Is there anything I could do for you?” Haward asked.

Eli shook her head and shrugged.

The elevator doors opened with a ding.

Eli turned around. Just as she was about to enter the elevator, Haward held her arm and said seriously, “Little Girl, I’m afraid that I would miss the chance to be with you if I didn’t come. At the same time, I’m afraid that I’ll lose you if I were to confess my feelings to you. Could you please tell me if I have any chance in pursuing you?” Haward asked, his eyes sparkling.

Eli was stunned and she stood rooted to the ground. For a moment, she could not seem to react.

Did he just confess his love to her?

The girlfriend whom he had mentioned earlier, was he referring to her all this while?

“When did I become your girlfriend?” Eli asked straightforwardly.

No matter how mature and how confident he was, Haward had never thought that he would be rejected in this manner.

He still remembered that he once saw a man come to her house and wanted to give her a car.

She stood at the door with her hands on her hips and looked very brave. She smiled and asked, “How did you come here?”

The man said, “I drove here.”

Haward had thought that she would let the man in and have a passionate night with him.

At that time, he had only known her for two months, and he already had a good impression of her. Hence, he felt a little jealous when he witnessed the scene.

She then said lazily, “Drive away then. By the way, don’t park your car at my door, otherwise, I’ll have the authorities drag it away.”

He laughed then.

She was so straightforward. She would not force herself if she did not even like the man in the slightest. She would not force herself to find a man just because she was lonely.

He was gradually attracted by her carefree attitude.

“My choice of words might have been questionable. Perhaps, I should have said a female friend?” he said with a smile.

Eli stared at him.

Her heart might have wavered if he had confessed to her before she returned to A Country. Perhaps, she wouldn’t mind trying things out with him after she was completely done with Sean.

However, she was Sean’s lover now. She couldn’t possibly accept Haward’s feelings at the moment.

She felt that she didn’t deserve his love. He would only live a miserable life if she were to accept his feelings. He might even come to despise her.

He had appeared at the wrong timing. If that was the case, she would rather keep him in the bottom of her heart.

“I’m… not the good girl that you thought I am. I’ve done all kinds of evil things. Anyway, you will regret it,” Eli said helplessly. She even felt that it was rather ironic.

“Little Girl, you don’t have to reject me. I could see it with my eyes, and I could also feel it in my heart. You’re honest, kind, and real. You really are a girl whom I want to cherish,” Haward said.

Eli felt a little embarrassed from his compliments, for she knew that those traits weren’t her true self at all.

“If you had come all the way here to look for me, then you should go back now. Don’t worry about me. I will be heading back to D Country once I’m done with my things here. After all, my son Little Precious is still there. I only came here because have something that I have to do here,” Eli said.

“Let me help you then. I’m willing to help you in every way,” Haward said firmly.

However, the task in her hand right now was not something he could be of help with.

Eli was a little touched and she nodded at Haward, “Thank you for your love. It makes me want to be a good person.”

Haward laughed hoarsely, “Silly girl, go ahead and do what you want to do. Don’t feel burdened because of me. When you’re ready to be with me, come to me. Just… don’t ignore me.”

She was a little… rattled by his words. After all, he was her Prince Charming.

The more he thought that she was perfect, the more he would feel disgusted when he knew the truth.

However, she couldn’t tell him the truth. Fortunately, she knew to keep a distance away from him. At this point, she couldn’t believe that she had learned to be so sensible.

Eli then entered the elevator.

Haward handed the gift bag to Eli and said, “I bought it especially for you.”

Eli thought for a moment, but her arm did not move.

He pushed the gift bag into her hand and said, “I’m sure that you will like it. If you don’t like it, just throw it away then.”

The elevator doors then slowly closed between the two of them.

Eli took deep breaths again and again.

She didn’t accept Haward’s feelings. She must have done the right thing, right?

If Stella were here, she would have told her what to do. Unfortunately, Stella no longer existed in her world.

When the elevator doors opened, she came out of the hotel and saw two men in black windbreakers standing in front of a black Cayenne.

One of them walked towards her while the other opened the car door.

Eli had no choice but to get into the car. She was frustrated as she knew that she would have to suffer Sean’s wrath once she returned to the mansion.

She looked at the gift box. It contained a jewelry box.

She opened it and found a card in it.

Beneath the card was a pair of blue diamond earrings. She liked them very much. The earrings had caught her eyes when she went to the mall previously. However, she didn’t want to spend too much money at that time, hence, she didn’t buy it.

She opened the card and there was a sentence on it, “I bought it because I think that it would suit you really well. I hope you like it-Haward.”

She felt emotional and moved.

However, she did not reply to his text. Instead, she put the earrings in her bag.

After a while, she arrived at the President’s Mansion and she saw Sean standing at the door.

He looked at her sharply. His face was covered with coldness as though he was going to tear her to pieces.

She didn’t think that she had done anything wrong, and she didn’t understand why he was so angry.
