Chapter 612 I Love You Too Much
His mood instantly brightened up after hearing her words. He touched her nose and said, “Take a nap on the bed. I will close the door. Remember, do not open the door for anyone else apart from me, okay?”
Eli made an OK gesture.
Sean then left and closed the door for her.
Eli turned around and took out her mobile phone. There was no connection, so she could only play games on her phone. She noticed that Sean was already gone for more than half an hour. Didn’t they agree to eat together?
She sat up, wanting to go look for him, but she did not know where to go. Plus, there was no signal here too. If she got lost, it would be a hassle for him to look for her.
She could not seem to do anything, and she felt as though her actions would only burden the people around her even more. Hence, she lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
She could hear someone talking, followed by the sound of the door opening. She opened her eyes with high alert and saw Sean entering the room.
“Where did you go?” Eli asked. As she had just woken up, her voice was soft, charming, and a little sexy. Her dazed and confused look was adorable. Sean’s heart softened at the sight of her.
Colonel Cher followed Sean from behind. He knew the relationship between the two of them, hence he was not surprised. He entered the room and placed the food on the table.
“Let’s eat,” Sean said as he walked towards her.
“I shall excuse myself first,” Colonel Cher said sensibly.
“Tell them to gather in the conference room in half an hour. I will be there by then.” Sean ordered.
“Yes, Mr. President,” Colonel Cher then left the room and closed the door for them.
Sean took his windbreaker and suit off. He told Eli, “I’m going to rest for 20 minutes. Wake me up after 20 minutes.”
“Aren’t you going to eat?” Eli settled on the chair. She was really hungry, so she had already started eating.
“I’ve already eaten with the soldiers earlier. You wouldn’t feel hungry that soon if you were to eat slightly later,” Sean said.
“What do you mean?” She didn’t quite understand what he was talking about.
She was met with silence.
Eli turned around to look at him, only to find that he was already asleep. His eyes were closed and he did not move at all. It seemed as though he was born with elegance.
Eli smiled slightly. He had bragged about how four hours of sleep was enough for him. It seemed that he was just blowing his own horn.
She didn’t want to embarrass him and merely let him sleep. She lowered her head and continued to eat. She then drank some milk after she was done eating. She looked at the time and realized that 20 minutes had already passed.
She walked to the bed and nudged him gently, “Hey, it’s been over four hours.”
Sean could tell that she was teasing him, and he smiled.
To him, four hours of sleep was more than enough.
He decided to take a short rest to preserve his strength for he knew that there would be a fierce battle later in the training. However, he did not tell her about that because he did not want to scare her.
He understood Eli’s character well. She only seemed strong on the outside, but she had always had a soft heart.
He still remembered there was once when they were still in junior high school, the teacher had assigned several classes to clean different areas of the school respectively. She was the team leader responsible for cleaning the toilets. One day, they had a conflict with the class next door while they were attending to their duties.
Back then, she was so fierce that she scolded another girl to the point of tears.
The girl was the class belle, and a group of guys came to help her settle the matter.
She was scared too back then, but she could not lose her confidence in front of those bullies, so she shouted, “I’m going to ask the teacher to come over!”
After that, she turned around… and left.
He saw her running past the corners. He thought that she must have been scared out of her wits.
Hence, he ended up bringing a few boys from his class to beat up the bullies.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Because of his unique status as the State Mayor’s son, the school dared not look into that matter, and it was quickly swept under the rug. Until this day, she did not know that he was the one who had helped her.
Sean opened his eyes and held the back of her head.
He exerted some strength and pulled her onto his body. He pinned her back onto the bed, lowered his head, and planted a deep kiss on her. The kiss lasted for three seconds.
Eli blushed as she looked at him shyly, “Ah, you’re already up.”
He smiled, “I just wanted to kiss you.”
“Your subordinates would be shocked if they were to see you acting in this way, right? Eli snorted.
“Therefore, you are the only one who knows this side of me. And you will be the only one who will dislike this side of me,” Sean smiled and said. He got up and picked up a black bag in the corner of the room.
He changed to an attire similar to hers. He looked even more masculine than he was before after changing into that uniform. It made Eli feel as though he could protect her.
“I did not expect you to look so good in camouflage uniform,” She leaned against the bed, shook her feet, and looked at him with appreciation.
Sean put a pistol, a few magazines, and a knife into the pouch that was wrapped around his thigh.
“Wow, a knife, why don’t I have one?” Eli asked in surprise.
“I am afraid that you would hurt yourself. All you have to do is follow me,” Sean said.
“What if I go missing all of a sudden then? I want a knife too,” Eli thought that he looked extremely cool when he was dressed like that.
Sean threw the knife towards her. Then, he knelt in front of her and fixed a pouch on her leg before securing the knife inside.
Eli jumped off the bed, took out the pistol from her sling bag, and struck a pose. “Sean, I look cool, don’t I? Do I look like a female soldier?”
Sean was still placing accessories on himself, so he did not pay any attention to her.
Eli realized that he was ignoring her. Well, she was used to it anyway. She took a few selfies for fun. Unfortunately, there was no signal there. Otherwise, she would probably have gotten a lot of fans if she were to post the pictures on social media.
At this moment, they heard a knock on the door.
“Put the things away,” Sean reminded her.
“Okay,” Eli immediately put the gun back into the pouch.
Sean was already done changing. He opened the door to find Colonel Cher standing there. The latter said respectfully, “Mr. President, they are all waiting for you in the conference room.”
“Okay,” Sean answered. He looked at Eli and said in a low voice, “Come with me. You don’t have to wear your jacket anymore.”
Eli nodded her head.
“Please prepare a new dagger for me,” Sean ordered Colonel Cher.
Colonel Cher looked at Eli’s legs and immediately understood what was going on. He went to prepare the dagger as he was told.
Sean then took Eli to the conference room.
Eli noticed that the other eight in their team had already arrived. They were all dressed in the same clothes, and she felt a stream of adrenaline flowing in her all of a sudden. She was filled with excitement.
Sean took the note on the table and glanced at it, “No. 008, good at combat, No. 171 is great at shooting, No. 189 is good at collecting, No. 234, it seems that he does not have any strengths or weaknesses. Mathew, good at combat and shooting, Jack is good at calculations and combat, Bernard is good at his limit, Victor is good at everything. Who compiled this information?”
“No. 189, reporting for duty,” Number. 189 stood up and said.
