Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“It’s easy to make clothes that are similar in style and patterns. Could it be that the person had intentionally worn that just so to throw you off?” Sean cautioned.

“I don’t think that that’s the case. If it was done intentionally, why did he show his face then? Nevertheless, it’s really strange that I couldn’t find any information about this person in this file,” Eli covered her head and looked over at Sean in confusion.

Sean frowned, “Don’t worry, I’ve just given an order. We will be having a consolation session later in the morning, and all the Invisibles are required to be present. Come with me, and we’ll check them one by one. However, if you couldn’t find him in the lot, then it’s unlikely that he is a real Invisible.”

Truth be told, he too thought it made sense that the culprit might have been one of the Invisibles. Only those who were close to him knew his whereabouts and therefore, only hurt Eli instead of him.

However, it would be a serious matter if the suspect were not one of the Invisibles. What did they want and why?

Eli slumped in her seat in defeat, “If he’s not an Invisible, then who might he be?”

“He was a foreign mercenary the last I checked. Don’t worry. If he is one of the Invisibles, I will have ways to dig him out even if you couldn’t recognize him,” Sean said with certainty.

“I guess I’ll have to rely on you then. I’m not smart enough,” Eli nodded her head.

“Let’s have breakfast first. The food is getting cold. Also, don’t act as though you’re there to look for someone when you’re at the session, alright?” Sean reminded.

Eli nodded, “No problem, I’ll scan their faces sneakily and discreetly.”

She then lowered her head and started eating her breakfast.

Sean pushed his share to Eli, “Have more.”

“What are you going to eat if you give them all to me? Besides, I couldn’t possibly eat that much,” Eli shoved his breakfast back to him.

“Follow my orders when you get to the island, and stay no less than a meter away from me at all times, do you understand?” Sean said gruffly.

Eli nodded as she bit into her pancake, “You’re the only one I know on the island. Who else could I follow? A monkey? I’m not that silly, but honestly, are there any monkeys on the island?”

“Just… don’t run around,” Sean instructed as he lowered his head to eat his breakfast.

Eli peeled a hard-boiled egg and asked him, “Do you eat the yolk?”

“No, why?”

“I’ll throw it away then. I don’t eat the yolk either,” Eli said. She then peeled and ate only the egg white.

Sean passed the eggs from his plate to her, “Here. You may have the egg whites.”

“Don’t you want them? Doesn’t your cook know that you don’t eat eggs?” Eli asked in confusion.

Sean knocked her gently on the head with one of the unpeeled eggs, “I do eat then. I’m just giving you some.”

Eli rubbed her head. She was distracted and didn’t bother with him.

“Thank you,” She took the egg from Sean, peeled the shell clean, and ate only the egg white. However, it was obvious that she was a little distracted. If the culprit weren’t from the Invisibles, who could it be then?

Eli could feel her head throbbing just thinking about it.

Once they were done with breakfast,

Sean started staring at her again.

Eli touched her face but she was certain that nothing was on her face, “What’s wrong?”

“I’ll send the clothes that you’ll be wearing to your room later,” Sean said.

“What clothes?” Eli was confused, “Don’t I already have all my clothes in my room?”

“I’m talking about the clothes for the battle.”

“Battle? What battle?” Eli was confused.

“There’s a training session later this afternoon. We’ll be participating in it as well, so you have to stick close to me,” Sean said.

Eli was flabbergasted.

“Sean, are you in your right mind? I’m here to look for the man who killed my mother. I’m not your soldier, and I don’t have to participate in the training. I’m not making a living out of it either. Hence, I don’t see the reason why I should participate in it,” she retorted.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“You have to go through military training at the beginning of the school year, and why is that?” Sean asked.

Eli pursed her lips and whispered, “Because they had nothing else better to do.”

Sean knocked her on the head, “It is to train the students’ willpower and endurance.”

Eli scratched her head, “As it turns out, military training was indeed hard. But then what? Everyone’s back to their same old life once training is over. So, what are you training me for? It’s not as though I’m going to face the same situation ever again. I’ll never go into the woods for the rest of my life, I promise.”

Sean’s face sank, “There are many things in life that might happen even though you didn’t expect them to. All preparations are made in the event of future accidents. This is the only time when training could only do you good and no harm. I will teach you various survival skills so that you would know what to do if anything were to happen. I want to protect you, Eli, but I couldn’t possibly be by your side all the time. I don’t want you to get hurt.”

Eli’s eyes darkened as she recalled her mother’s accident.

Indeed, if she had known how to fight at that time, maybe, her mother would not have died.

No one knew what the future holds. If Sean wanted her to take part in the training, then so be it. There was no harm to learn such skills.

Eli finally acquiesced, “Fine. I’ll give it a try then.”

“Remember, no less than a meter away from me,” Sean reminded again.

Eli nodded, “It won’t be that easy for you to get rid of me either. Don’t worry.”

Sean smirked, “I am looking forward to you clinging onto me all the time.”

A strange feeling rose in Eli’s heart. Indeed, it seemed that she had insisted on sticking close to him ever before…

She went back to her room shortly after, and within a few moments, her clothes were brought in.

The whole uniform, including the vest, was green.

Eli took off her clothes as Sean walked into the room, still in his suit.

“Are you not going to change?” Eli asked, puzzled.

“I’ll change after lunch.”

“Why should I change now then?” Eli immediately asked again.

“So that you wouldn’t have to change after lunch.”

Eli did not know what to say.

His logic seemed to make sense.

She continued to put on the uniform, piece by piece. She had put on layers after layers, but the material of the uniform was so good that it didn’t seem to affect her movements at all.

Sean didn’t seem to have the intention to leave the room. He stood by the side and watched her change.

Eli checked herself out at the mirror after she was done changing. She pulled the hem of her shirt and complimented herself, “This seems pretty cool.”

She made a gesture of holding a gun and grinned sheepishly.

Sean looked at her deeply, “Don’t take your clothes off no matter what happens.”

“I’m not that stupid. The weather is so cold!” Eli laughed as she sat on the bed. She then leaned back and rocked her legs, “When are we leaving?”

“Now. Remember to protect your head at all times,” Sean reminded again.

“Okay,” Eli stood up.
