Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Yvonne raised her head and looked at ‘Natasha’ with tears in her eyes. “I couldn’t possibly let Hodge expose me. He must die before Sean gets to interrogate him.”

“I’ll get to it right now. You should calm your emotions and make sure that Sean doesn’t find out about this. He’s too smart and intuitive,” ‘Natasha’ instructed.

“Please be careful, Natasha. I won’t be able to live too if you ever get caught,” Yvonne exclaimed.

‘Natasha’ nodded and quickly left the President’s Mansion.

…

Eli was full after having her meal. She returned to her room and wondered if she could visit Stella.

However, she was troubled at the thought of her mother and how Stella had betrayed her.

The more one cared about another person, the harder it would be for them to be forgiven. This was the irony of life.

Eli pondered upon the thought and became annoyed when she couldn’t come to a decision. She decided to play a few games to ease her tension but her guilt returned once more.

Sean was busy with her matters and yet she was heartlessly playing games.

Eli had thought of her plans for revenge as soon as she returned from abroad. In the end, she only followed Sean around and she had done absolutely nothing apart from eating, playing, and sleeping.

She felt as though she had no sense of responsibility, nor did she have any value.

Was she supposed to just eat, drink, and live the rest of her life with Sean providing everything for her? She looked at her stomach in confusion. She had just returned a few days ago. It wasn’t easy for her to become slim again, yet she had regained some of her weight in a matter of a few days.

She sighed and stopped playing the game. She left the room and proceeded to the third floor.

Yvonne was arranging flowers in her room and her figure seemed particularly elegant and graceful.

Eli knocked on her door.

Yvonne turned around and looked at Eli. She smiled gently and said, “I’ve arranged a few bouquets, but I wasn’t satisfied with them no matter what I did. Could you help me take a look at it and see if I could make it better?”

Eli walked towards her and glanced at the flowers on the table. “I’m completely clueless when it comes to flower arrangements. I am not an aesthetic person either. I’m sorry, but I would only make it worse,” Eli responded.

“It’s alright. It is, after all, a personal thing. Different people have different perspectives. Is there any reason why you were looking for me?” Yvonne asked as she continued to arrange her flowers.

Eli thought for a while and asked, “I was wondering if you have gone to the orphanage yet?”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Yvonne smiled lightly and replied, “Not yet. I’m waiting for Sean. I think that we would either go there tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We could only make a decision once Sean returns.”

“Why are you going to the orphanage?” Eli asked in curiosity.

“To buy some food for the children, and give them bags or other resources that they lack. We plan to visit ten orphanages and ten old folks’ homes. Our schedule should be out soon. Sean still has business meetings so there should be some big changes as soon as the plan has been finalized,” Yvonne added.

“I see. What do you usually do then?” Eli tentatively asked her.

She figured that Yvonne was a perfect woman. It would be great for her to learn something from her. She didn’t want Sean to treat her well in exchange for nothing. Regardless of how little progress she made, it would still be better than nothing.

A strange look of disdain flashed across Yvonne’s eyes.

After all, she was thousands of miles apart from her stature. How could Eli possibly learn something from her? Yvonne thought that it was unfair that Sean preferred Eli over her. She was indignant.

However, she hid her emotions well. She then smiled and said patiently, “I have errands to run in the Cabinet every morning. After that, I’ll attend some meetings based on my schedule. Whenever I’m free, I arrange flowers, listen to music, read books, and so on. What about you? What do you usually do?”

“Me? I play games, and sometimes I’d read books too. I don’t have a job for now so I usually spend my time playing games,” Eli laughed in embarrassment.

“What books do you usually read then?” Yvonne casually asked.

“I read romantic stories, city novels, books about overbearing presidents, fantasy books as well as ancient literature. But I don’t read a lot. My attention span is short and I can’t focus for long.”

Yvonne paused for a moment.

Her focus had always been on finance, politics, and history. She had never read anything related to love or romance. The more she got along with Eli, the more she realized the major differences in their personalities.

She really couldn’t understand why Sean had fallen in love with Eli.

“You and Sean used to be classmates, so I assume both of you must have good grades, right?” Yvonne smiled as she tested Eli secretly. Deep down, Yvonne remained jealous of the fact that they were once classmates.

Sean was such a perfect man, he shouldn’t even have such classmates.

“I did okay, but he’s usually at the bottom of the list,” Eli mentioned with pride on her face.

However, Sean wasn’t really a bad student. Instead, he was rebellious and he often submitted blank papers. He disliked examinations, but he excelled in the few examinations in which he took seriously. However, Eli refused to reveal that fact as it would have easily ruined her prestige.

“How could that be? He doesn’t look like someone who wouldn’t study well for an exam!” Yvonne was shocked. Sean remained to be a perfect man within her heart.

“It’s true. He is completely different now from when he was a child. He always had a runny nose when he was young,” Eli continued as she learned this after her school’s summer camp in her second year of junior high school.

Eli had a fever but she was completely outraged when Sean told her that made-up ghost story to frighten her.

How could such an evil person exist in this world?

Alright, she admitted that she wasn’t much of a good person either. She had actually prepared a big bucket of cold water and poured it over Sean when he was not paying attention.

She could still remember that Sean wasn’t angry at all at that time. Instead, he smiled and said, “I’ll have a fever just like you. Will you stop being angry?”

In the end, Sean didn’t have a fever but he constantly sneezed as a result of the cold.

She remembered that she was in a particularly… good mood then.

At this moment, Yvonne coughed lightly.

“You must’ve been the campus belle at that time, weren’t you?” Yvonne asked casually. Although she didn’t think that Eli had the qualifications to be a campus belle, children at the time were unsophisticated. As long as someone had a better family background and was better dressed, they would definitely be the talk of the school.

“Ha-ha.” Eli scratched her head and shrugged, “I was more of a class clown. Many things had happened back then and it’s hard for me to look back at all of them.”

Yvonne was speechless.

She smiled awkwardly and said, “That sounds very much like a love story to me.”

“There was no love. I didn’t get along well with him when he was a child. He was a big bully who often bullied others,” Eli explained.

“You must have a strong sense of justice then, don’t you? You must’ve fallen for your rival. Now that I think about it, it seems that you two are a pretty good match,” Yvonne said as she looked up and smiled at Eli brightly.

“That’s not true either. I didn’t have a true sense of justice even when I was young. I bullied the weak and feared the strong like everyone. I’ve never provoked him. Whenever I saw him, the first thing I would do is to run far away. I only ever bully him if he bullies me first. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep. I feel so angry now that I think about it.”

In truth, Eli had forgotten the many things that had happened when they were still children. However, Sean was too arrogant and often bullied her. That was why she remembered him clearly. He had left a deep impression in her mind where she even remembered all the details.

Yvonne was speechless once again.

She was confused as to why Sean had fallen for Eli. They had nothing in common. No matter if it was temperament, self-restraint, knowledge, intelligence, abilities, or background, there was just too big of a difference between them.

How did both of them even become an item?
