Chapter 604 You Are All I Ever Wanted
When she saw Sean’s furious expression and blood-red eyes, she knew that he was in a terrible mood. She lowered her head and moved towards the door. Although she didn’t know where else to go, she knew that staying away from him was the best thing to do right now.
Sean stepped forward and grabbed her by the hand. He pushed Eli away, causing her to lose her balance. She fell to the floor and glared at him in confusion. At the same time, she could feel anger brewing inside her. However, on second thought, her resolve to stay low-key seemed to have overridden her trigger switch at this moment.
She suppressed her anger and got up from the floor. Her lips were pursed, and she noticed Sean’s menacing eyes. It looked as though he wanted to kill her at this instant.
“Was it fun?” Sean asked sternly.
Eli rolled her eyes and looked away.
Sean became even more furious at her blatant ignorance. He had been tremendously worried about her safety after lashing out at her in the study room. He had lost his temper because he was worried, angry yet concerned all at the same time.
He would not let her slip away from him again, never again.
“Speak,” Sean ordered harshly. His heart pounded abruptly due to his anger.
“What do you want me to say? I wasn’t having fun, and I didn’t intend to play around with you. What do you expect me to say?” Eli replied furiously
“Didn’t you deliberately hide somewhere just so that I couldn’t find you? You did this on purpose, didn’t you?” Sean bellowed as he stared at her with anger in his eyes.
“Me? Hiding on purpose? How could I have done that? This is your ship. Where else could I go? Do you think I could escape or leave the ship?
You ordered me to get out, but there was nowhere that I could go. That’s why I chose a place that was nearest to your room to sleep.
You took away my phone and I don’t have any friends here whom I could talk to. What do you expect me to do besides sleeping then?!
You got angry at me for no reason. Why did you get angry at me when I hadn’t even done anything wrong? Tell me, what have I done wrong?
I’ve lost my family because of you, and my mother died because of you. It’s because of you that I became so lonely, and here you are, venting your anger at me. Who do you think you are?” Eli fought back harshly.
At that moment, she thought of her mother, her father, and everything that she had gone through.
She didn’t want to think about all these as she knew that she would be in pain. However, as soon as she recalled those memories, she would be overwhelmed with anguish.
If Sean hadn’t threatened her with her parents, she wouldn’t have left them nor hurt their feelings in the first place.
In fact, she knew deep down that Sean was the one responsible for her mother’s death.
She had always lived a humble and stable lifestyle. She had always been friendly and she would help those in need. Where did her enemies come from then?
Eli turned around and wept desperately. She wiped her tears away, but it wouldn’t stop flowing down her cheeks.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
What was the point of her crying? Sean had bullied her ever since she was a young girl.
Sean’s anger vanished. His heart ached as Eli wept in front of him.
It seemed that Haward did not lie when he mentioned his interest in Eli.
At that moment, Sean didn’t care about what other men could do. He knew that none of them could pose a threat to him.
However, he was afraid of Haward.
Not only was Haward handsome, but he was also a mature, knowledgeable, and humble man. He had never seen such characteristics in other men before.
He was afraid that Eli would be taken away by him.
He knew that his life couldn’t grant as much freedom as Haward could to Eli. He was worried about the many possibilities that would happen around him. The more uncertain he became of Eli staying beside him, the more furious he would be. He understood that it was wrong of him to do so, yet he still couldn’t control it.
He couldn’t seem to think clearly whenever it came to her. He would enter into a state of wild frenzy without properly dissecting the facts around him.
Sean hugged Eli with his arms.
She twisted her body and rejected him instantly.
He put his head on her neck and took a deep breath.
He wondered how it was possible that she smelled better when they were both using the same shampoo.
“What are you doing? Weren’t you mad at me?” Eli said in annoyance.
“I couldn’t find you anywhere. I thought that you left me,” Sean said sullenly.
“Where could I go? I’m on a ship. You told me to leave your room and you took my phone away too. It’s all your fault!” Eli looked at him and raised her voice. Sean was supposed to apologize, not her.
She turned to Sean and saw that his eyes had turned red. Was he about to cry too?
From what she had remembered, she had never seen Sean cry.
There was a strange feeling in her heart. Could it be that she felt sorry for Sean?
Her anger dissipated and she realized that there was something far more important for her to do right now. She turned and said, “Don’t be angry, alright? I wasn’t thinking straight when you were on the phone earlier. I’ll promise to try my best and change my attitude.”
Sean held her face and kissed her softly. He muttered, “Please don’t ever leave me again, ever…”
Eli was stunned.
She was determined to leave him before she fell asleep just now.
Sean’s eyes turned cold as he looked at her, “You are still planning to leave, aren’t you? You are making use of me to avenge your mother. Once that is done, you are going to leave me, aren’t you?
Eli seemed to notice that he was getting angry again. Hence, she quickly answered, “No.”
“What’s that then?” Sean asked.
Her temper had become much milder ever since she met Sean again, “I don’t feel like leaving when you are treating me so nicely. However, I couldn’t wait to leave whenever you treat me harshly.”
Sean was stunned by her answer.
This was the Eli whom he knew.
“Just don’t leave me in the future. If you do so, I will catch you, break your legs, and scratch your face. Do you understand? Would you like to try?” Sean warned her.
He only wanted to scare her because he knew that Eli prioritized her appearance and her fear of pain.
His heart would be broken to pieces if she really did leave.
“I thought you liked me. You sounded just like a psycho, do you know that?” Eli was traumatized as she heard Sean’s response.
“Just… don’t run away,” Sean replied gloomily.
Eli changed the topic as she refused to dwell on this matter anymore. She rubbed her tummy and asked, “Sean, could I please have some supper? I am hungry.”
Sean stared at her in shock.
Eli was afraid that he would get angry once more. She tip-toed and kissed his lips. “I would only have the energy to work after I eat, right?”
Sean put his hand around her waist, pulled her towards him, and hugged her tightly.
She wanted to push him away as she could barely breathe, but she was afraid that it would upset him. Hence, she hugged his neck instead, “Are you still angry? It seemed that my life would be so difficult for the next few days.”
“Don’t worry about it. You may head back to your room now. I’ll ask someone to send some food in a bit,” Sean said.
Eli pinched his cheek with a smile and said, “You scared me just now. I prefer this cute face.”
“It’s not cute at all. It’s pitiful because no one loves me,” Sean complained.
“Nonsense! I’m sure that many more girls are waiting for you out there, ready to drown you in their love,” Eli answered him.
“You’re all I ever need,” Sean said seriously.
