Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Eli felt a chill run down her spine, “Sean, that’s enough. Your classmate escaped in the end, right?”

“Do you not want to listen to the rest of the story?” Sean asked as he looked at her.

Eli shook her head. After all, she was still a young girl at that time, “I don’t want to hear it. Stop trying to scare me.”

“That village isn’t that far from here,” Sean said.

“Ah!” Eli screamed. She held Sean’s arm and said pitifully, “Stop scaring me.”

Sean was very satisfied with Eli’s reaction. He didn’t expect her to throw herself into his arms. He put his arm around her shoulder and said, “I’m not scaring you. It’s true. My classmate and I are still in touch. When we go back, I’ll ask him to tell you more about it. However, his other classmates were not so lucky.”

“Did they all die?” Eli held him tighter, her body shivering.

“Not only did they all die, but if you remember what I said about the photos on the wall, then you should know by now that those people were all already dead too. They were guided there by spirits. When they die, their souls are trapped inside the houses, and they couldn’t be released,” Sean said seriously.

“How did your friend escape that place then?” Eli asked.

“My friend overturned a dirt house. As soon as the house collapsed, the souls inside were released. Some souls helped my classmate find a way out as gratitude, so my classmate eventually escaped,” Sean explained.

“Could your friend be lying to you?” Eli was unconvinced.

“I have the photos of him and those souls. Do you want to see them?”

“No!” Eli screamed. “I went to the underground palace with my parents last year. The tour guide said that it’s not good to take pictures, as the souls of the deceased will be taken away.”

“That’s what happened exactly. My friend promised those souls that he would take them out.”

“Then, what happened to the souls?”

Sean looked behind Eli. Eli’s back felt cold, her face numb. She threw herself into Sean’s arms and closed her eyes.

Sean smiled happily, “Don’t be afraid.”

He showed the crystal on his neck to Eli. “Do you see this? This has been blessed. No demons or ghosts could get close to it.”

His words made Eli even more determined to cling on to him. Just like that, she nestled in his arms.

He said with a smile, “Take a nap, I’ll be here.”

At that moment, she felt that he was no longer that annoying.

She laid her head on his lap and eventually fell asleep.

The next day, the teachers of the school found her with the help of the police.

It turned out that before he jumped into the hole, Sean had lit a fire around the trap to make sure that mosquitoes and insects would not bite them. Also, if anyone saw the fire, they would also know that it was a signal for help.

She refused to climb up from the hole at first, as she was worried that the teachers and the police were ghosts from the Scaveria Village. However, she immediately felt relieved when she saw Sean smiling brightly. she held Sean’s arm and never let go until they finally reached the camp.

Her classmates all arrived safely too. She had a high fever after arriving home. She suspected that she had an encounter with an evil spirit, so she dared not sleep for the entire night. Sean came to her house and told her that the story was all a lie.

She was so angry that she almost swore. However, after thinking about it, something might have happened to her if Sean didn’t accompany her then.

Eli raised her head and looked at Sean.

He grabbed her shoulders, kissed her cheek, and then gently bit her ear.

Eli tilted her head and looked at him. She rubbed her ears and gave him a look that said, ‘What do you want?’

Sean did not say anything as he pressed her head on his thighs.

Truth be told, she had slept enough today, hence she did not want to sleep for the time being.

She straightened herself up and pressed Sean against her lap with a smile.

Sean did not refuse either. He rested his head on her thighs and closed his eyes.

The sky quickly darkened. It was pitch black in the forest and there was not a single trace of light.

The area around them was very quiet. It was hard to believe that over 50 people were hiding there at this moment. Everyone was very patient, and there was not a single sound at all.

Eli looked around and sighed. Her plan had become all useless now. It was no wonder people would often die quickly in real combat because there were too many unexpected factors in actual combat.

Time ticked by. She did not know how much time had passed, for there was no indication of time there. She could vaguely hear footsteps, so she nudged Sean gently, who was lying on her lap.

Sean signaled her to keep quiet. He threw a wooden stick in the direction of the sound, and it seemed to hit the person. Eli could only hear a gunshot and see a stroke of red light. The air was filled with the smell of limestone.

Sean pressed her head. She could feel a bullet flying toward her direction, but she did not hear anything.

The area that Sean had chosen to hide in was indeed a good one. The flurry of gunshots lasted for over ten minutes before it gradually quieted down. Eli still did not know what was going on.

She did not know if smoke was coming out of her hat, or how many allies she still had, or how many more enemies were there, as well as the situation of her other teammates.

By the looks of it, it seemed that she would not be able to leave even after 42 hours, let alone 24.

She had always been a chatterbox. Now that she could not speak, she felt a little hungry.

Sean covered her mouth, and Eli ate a piece of sweet chocolate.

He took advantage of the chaos of gunshots to mask the sound of eating the chocolates. Eli looked at Sean with gratitude. Even though they were close to each other, they could not see each other’s silhouettes closely.

Under such a scenario, it did not depend on one’s strength, but one’s hearing and alertness.

Eli had no complaints when she ate the chocolate. After all, Sean was the one who gave her the chocolate, and he was still hungry too.

Time ticked by slowly, second by second.

Eli found a comfortable position on the ground and crouched down to sleep.

However, she could not sleep well. About five fierce battles took place later that night and once again, she did not know what was going on at all.

The sky gradually brightened hours later. Faint light illuminated the forest, and the outline of people could be seen.

Sean seemed to be asleep. He closed his eyes and leaned against the thorny bushes.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Wasn’t he afraid of being pricked?

Eli tugged on his hand gently, and Sean opened his eyes to look at her.

Their eyes met, and a lot of thoughts flashed through their minds at that moment.

He could have had it easy being the President. Why did he insist on coming here and suffer in the training? Was he insane?

Sean was good at everything, but he was bad at his tastes and interests. A great example was him taking a fancy to her.

Eli smiled.

Sean returned the smile as they looked at each other.

When she saw him smile, she got a little angry again.

He liked playing such dangerous games, but why must he take her with him? She did not sleep well for the entire night. She was someone who usually ate a lot and never skipped meals, but now, she had skipped dinner and she dared not eat breakfast too. She was so hungry that her stomach ached.

Seeing Eli’s expression, Sean’s smile slowly faded away.
