Chapter 593 I Will Find You No Matter Where You Are
She thought that it was impossible just by listening to it.
“I wouldn’t be here if I knew how to do all those things. Please let me go. I am so tired and I just want to take a nap,” Eli yawned.
Yvonne sighed. “Alright, you can take it slow then. By the way, Sean is still in the meeting now. Would you like to come over to my room? You can rest there,” Yvonne offered.
“Thank you, Mrs. President. You are the best! Let’s go!” Eli urged as she held Yvonne’s arm.
Yvonne smiled and brought her to the room.
Eli took off her shoes and her clothes, then she snuggled into bed and covered herself up with the blanket. After that, she waved at Yvonne and said to her, “Please close the door for me on your way out. Thank you!”
Yvonne closed the door for her.
Eli stared at the ceiling and started to think about everything that had happened just now. Her heart felt oddly melancholic.
Yvonne had talked to her about making things go according to her will and to show authority whenever it was appropriate. She also told Eli about controlling people’s hearts and gaining respect from others.
However, she really didn’t know much about these things.
She was an easygoing person who didn’t think much. She would pour her heart out for those who were close to her, and she would never bother about people with whom she couldn’t get along with. She had no intention to involve herself in any sort of drama or to waste her efforts in disingenuous relationships.
She just wanted to get a stable job and marry a man with a normal 9-to-5 day job. Both of them could spend their weekends hanging out with friends, eating together, and shopping.
However, it was impossible for her to do any of those things with Sean.
Her head hurt just by thinking of it. Hence, she decided to take a break and close her eyes.
Yvonne was sitting outside the room and doing her work. Suddenly, her phone started ringing and she picked up the call with a smile, “Are you here?”
“Yes.”
“Have you learned everything that you should have?” Yvonne asked.
“Yes.”
“Alright then, wait for me at the President’s Mansion. I will be back around noon. By the way, my garden is on the third floor. Feel free to take a look at it and tell me whether you like them,” Yvonne said with a smile.
“Well, I will definitely like them since they have been taken care of by you. I won’t take up any more of your time then. I will head over now.”
“Okay, see you later,” Yvonne hung up the call and continued to do her work in a good mood.
Meanwhile, Eli was also woken up by a call. She took a look at the screen and saw that it was Sean.
She still felt a little down for some reason. Hence, she picked up the call while she was still lying on the bed.
“Where are you?” Sean asked her.
“Sleeping on your wi…” She didn’t finish her sentence. Instead, she rephrased and said, “Sleeping in Yvonne’s room.”
“I will come and pick you up for lunch now, then we will go to the military training base later in the afternoon,” Sean said to her with a smile. He seemed to be in a good mood.
“Alright,” Eli said as she got up from the bed. She felt a little cold so she got down from the bed and put on her clothes immediately. All of a sudden, Sean opened the door and came into the room.
He closed the door behind him and walked toward Eli. He hugged her waist and kissed her lips.
Eli covered her lips and said, “I haven’t brushed my teeth yet.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“I don’t mind. Besides, it’s not the first time for me to kiss your dirty face,” Sean said as he stared at her lovingly.
Eli rolled her eyes at Sean and said, “You are the dirty one.”
“Yes, I am. That’s why we are meant to be together. I have also yet to brush my teeth,” Sean smirked as he kissed her again.
Eli hadn’t let go of her hand, so Sean kissed the back of her hand. He beamed.
He looked oddly charming.
Eli put down her hand and said to him, “You seem to be in a good mood.”
He had already found out the whereabouts of their child, and the place where she used to live. He also found out about all the people whom she had been in contact with. Hence, he would be able to trace her back even if she were to leave him in the future.
Question was, could he tell her that?
No, he couldn’t.
He sat on the bed and hugged her. After that, he said to her softly, “Isn’t it good that I’m in a good mood? I will grant your every wish at this moment, so what do you want?”
“Well… I don’t want to follow Yvonne to the Cabinet meetings anymore. It was so boring, with all the women there. It was so lame,” Eli answered almost immediately.
Sean hesitated.
“Sean, you just said that you would grant my every wish. Don’t lie to me again,” Eli said coquettishly.
“Again? I made you follow Yvonne to the meeting because I wanted you to learn something from her. She grew up in a royal family, and her parents have been teaching her all these since she was young. Not only that, her father was a royal, so she is very knowledgeable in this area. When you get married to me in the future, you would have to help me with all these things,” Sean explained to Eli patiently.
“Sean, you have known me for more than ten years. Do you think that I am capable of doing all these things? I would always complain when the teacher was talking too much and I have never liked being in a restricted environment. I am dumb and I don’t like to follow rules and regulations. Hence, Stella always said that I would be the first one to get eliminated in a political game.”
“That’s why I asked you to learn from Yvonne.”
Eli lowered her head and played with her fingers. “Sometimes, I really don’t understand why you would want to marry me. I think that I am fine just the way I am. If it’s possible, I would want you and Yvonne to stay just like this.”
“It’s good that Yvonne is my wife now because she helps me with the Cabinet and the other things. However, I want to get you a title. I don’t want you to feel insignificant and aggrieved when you are by my side. I don’t think that you would want that either right?” he asked. His mood was starting to turn sour, and he was getting a little mad.
“Hello,” Eli knocked on his head and said, “You were the one who said that you wanted to grant my every wish. Why are you getting angry now then?”
“Eli, could you at least try to be more enthusiastic? I don’t want to feel like I am the only one putting in effort for this relationship, alright?” Sean said to her softly.
The fact was she had really never thought of staying with him in the long run.
Eli felt downcast and empty. She felt as though she had been engulfed by a profound sadness for some reason.
“Why do you love me? You know that I have nothing good…” Eli couldn’t understand why Sean insisted on choosing her.
Sean smirked, then stared into her eyes and said, “Because it’s you. I have been in love with you ever since we were in high school. I even confessed to you, don’t you remember?”
“Did you? Did you confess to me when we were in high school?” Eli only remembered that Sean had always bullied her when they were still in school.
“Didn’t we go on a school trip to the Mint Breeze Garden back then?” Sean reminded her.
She recalled that, and she asked, “Wasn’t it when we were in grade 3? We had a body checkup in the morning that day and a school trip in the afternoon. When did you confess you to me?”
“Everyone was saying that if you give a Willow branch to a girl and she accepts it, both of you would be together forever,” Sean explained.
She recalled the scene.
She still remembered that it was a sunny day with a nice and cooling breeze.
She had bought ice cream when she noticed that a group of her friends was gossiping. Eli joined them and sat on the ground with them.
Suddenly, Sean threw a Willow branch toward her from afar. The branch hit her ice cream and it dropped to the ground. Not only that, Eli’s clothes were stained by the ice cream. Eli was furious so she picked up the Willow branch and ran towards Sean.
