Chapter 581 If Love
“Stop spouting nonsense, Natasha. I wasn’t neglected by the President at all because of Eli. Besides, Eli has saved us from a disaster yesterday because she had rescued the Prime Minister. How could you do this to her?” Yvonne finally voiced out.
“Madam, don’t deny the fact anymore. When I sent breakfast to the President’s room this morning, I saw…” Yvonne gave Natasha a slap before she could finish her sentence.
“Nonsense. How could you have gone to the President’s room if I was taking care of your fever this morning? Natasha Griswell, what are you trying to say?” Yvonne was enraged, and her hand was still shaking.
Natasha covered her face in confusion. She had never expected that Yvonne would slap her. She looked at Yvonne, then lowered her head and murmured, “I did it for the President and the Madam, so I don’t think that I have done anything wrong.”
“Sean, Natasha is my maid. She has made a huge mistake. Could you please hand her over to me so I could teach her a lesson myself?” Yvonne said to Sean softly.
Sean nodded his head.
Yvonne then took Natasha to her room, along with her other maids.
Eli was still sitting in the car and thinking of something. She refused to get out of the car at all.
Sean opened the door and sat down in the driver’s seat. He said to her, “You don’t have to worry anymore. This kind of thing will not happen again. I will ask the housekeepers to change all the bedsheets in both our rooms and also to clean every corner of the rooms to make sure that none of the snakes are left behind. Snakes are timid animals. They won’t bite as long as we leave them alone. Don’t worry about it.”
“Sean, don’t you think that it’s partly our fault? I think that we are acting out of line, and we are deceiving people. Yvonne is such a warm person, to be honest, you shouldn’t let her down,” Eli replied.
Sean frowned and he went forward to grab her chin so that Eli was looking at him. He then said to her seriously, “I have already told you before this, and I don’t want to repeat myself about the relationship I have with Yvonne. So, please don’t talk about it, and stop thinking about it, alright?”
“We both know it, but other people may not know about it. Don’t forget who you are. Everything you do will be magnified by others. We could risk our lives even with just one small mistake,” Eli explained to Sean seriously.
Sean paused for a moment, and there was a sparkle in his eyes, “Are you worrying about me?”
There were a lot of things going on in Eli’s mind, hence, she turned away.
She didn’t know if she really cared about him, but she felt that it wasn’t right. She looked back at him and said, “What Yvonne said was right. There are a lot of common interests between you and the Harington family. Yvonne may not mind our relationship, but what about her family? What would they think? They will surely feel upset because it is so unfair to Yvonne. How could a nice woman like her sacrifice her future just for politics?”
“I promised her that I will let her go back to the man she loves when everything is settled.”
“But she is not having an affair with the man she loves like what you and I are doing right now. People have no idea about the fake marriage between you two, so my existence is definitely a threat to you.”
“But your disappearance has been a torture to me,” Sean interrupted her and said.
Eli paused because she had a strange feeling in her heart.
Could it be that Sean had really fallen in love with her?
Unbelievable.
She wasn’t the best-looking girl, nor did she have a perfect body figure, nor did she have a good family background or great intelligence.
“I think that your brain has gone all wonky,” Eli blurted out.
Sean patted her head and answered, “That’s why we are meant to be.”
She knew that Sean was being sarcastic, but she couldn’t feel angry because there were a lot of things going on in her mind at that moment.
She pushed the door open and got out of the car.
It was more chilly outside.
She straightened her clothes and realized that she was still wearing Sean’s windbreaker.
She got into the car again and returned it to Sean because she didn’t want to attract any unwanted attention from others. She then said to Sean, “Get out of the car., I want to have some alone time here. When you are back in the house, ask your housekeeper to send me a winter jacket.”
“Put it on. Don’t catch a cold. I’m much stronger than you are,” Sean threw his windbreaker to Eli, then got out of the car and went back to the house.
His smell lingered on the windbreaker. Eli put it on and looked toward the President’s Mansion as she leaned on the side of the car.
She and Sean had been a mistake from the very beginning.
She thought about the incident that happened five years ago when she went on a blind date with Sean that was set up by Frederick Addington. She lost her first time to him just like that.
Now that she knew how smart Sean was, she couldn’t believe that he had actually fallen into Frederick’s trap. He must have just gone with the flow.
She didn’t have any relationship with other men for the next three years after that. No one went after her, and she also couldn’t seem to get anyone’s attention. However, she never expected that she would meet Sean once again.
At that time, she was young and wild. She had already planned on losing her virginity, but she never thought that she would lose it to Sean.
Nonetheless, she didn’t expect that she would be under Sean’s control after that. However, it was all Sean’s plan to get her pregnant.
She stayed by his side because of Stella.
She was very unwilling to stay with him. In those two years, all she could think about was to run away from him.
In fact, when she came back this time, the first thought she had when she met Sean was to take revenge.
She wanted to leave after taking revenge.
She had no feelings for Sean, she never did. However, she would still feel touched if he had really done all these things out of his love for her.
After all, to her, Sean was a cruel, cold-blooded, and selfish man.
However, she was moved by what Sean had said to her just now. She was shocked that he was willing to offend his political partners for her justice.
She was not a teenage girl anymore. She no longer wanted innocent and pure love. Instead, she wanted a reliable man. She would first examine his looks, then his temper, his hobby, his personality, even his past experiences. His income and his properties were important too. Lastly, she would also take his family into account.
Even if all these qualities were met, she would not pour out all her love instantly. She wanted to make sure that the man would really treasure her before she would want to start an official relationship.
However, it was also time for her to get into a serious relationship.
She didn’t want it to be like the past where she would put all her effort into a relationship just because the man was handsome. Now, she wanted a stable and reliable relationship that could really last long.
However, her rationality told her that Sean and her wouldn’t be a match. Hence, she had never put in effort and real emotions into their relationship.
What if Sean had real feelings for her? Would it be unfair to him? Eli was really confused. She felt like asking Stella what she should do now…Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
