Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“However, I could certainly say that he has feelings for you,” Yvonne’s eyes flashed in an instant. The glint quickly disappeared as she spoke with a smile.

Eli pointed towards her head and spoke with disdain, “It’s either there’s something wrong with his brain, or he simply doesn’t have good taste.”

Yvonne was amused by Eli’s response, “You are very funny. I believe that that’s your biggest advantage.”

“If humor counts as an advantage, then I guess it would be my second advantage,” Eli said thoughtfully.

“What’s the first then?” Yvonne asked curiously as she placed the flowers onto the table gingerly.

Eli relaxed her shoulders and said, “I’m lazy.”

Yvonne laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face. She held her stomach and said, “You’re so funny.”

Eli sighed. Could she say that she wasn’t joking at all?

“Please go ahead with your work. I’ll take a stroll and won’t disturb you anymore,” Eli said as she excused herself politely. Eli didn’t know what to say to Yvonne. After all, they weren’t that familiar with each other. She realized that there was still a barrier between them despite Yvonne’s good temper and assertiveness.

This barrier seemed to separate both of them into two different worlds.

This was something that had never existed whenever she talked to Sean.

Did that mean that she was much closer to Sean than to Yvonne?

Eli walked toward the door silently.

“Do remember to put on some more clothing. It’s cold outside,” Yvonne reminded her.

Eli nodded and returned to her room. She wrapped herself in a jacket and strolled outside o get some fresh air.

She didn’t know what she could possibly learn from Yvonne. Flower arrangements? She was definitely not interested in these things. She could still help by plucking flowers, but reading? Why was there such a huge difference in their genres of interest?

However, she knew that deep down in her heart, there was another perfect goddess who was just like that. That person was Stella.

Not only did Stella like to read, but she also knew the things that she truly wanted in her life. She was sensible and calm, and she knew how to do chores well. Stella knew exactly what her dreams were and how she could achieve her targets.

Eli, on the other hand, was irrational and short-tempered. She didn’t even know how to do chores nor did she know what she wanted in her life.

Eli began to feel that she was useless and helpless. She went to the lake, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it into the lake. She watched as the ripples were formed on the surface of the lake.

The sky was painted red by the setting sun. Its rays were reflected on the lake with its colors beautifully shown. The hues were aesthetically pleasing as they were mixed in perfect harmony.

All of a sudden, Eli heard a dog barking behind her.

She immediately turned around and noticed a small dog not too far away. It was only as big as a palm with white fluffy fur and huge bulging eyes.

Eli’s heart melted as she walked over and picked up the adorable puppy. “Wow, what a small puppy! Is it a teacup dog? Why are you here?”

“Didn’t you see me?” Sean said helplessly as he walked towards Eli.

Eli was surprised and she asked, “How long have you been here? I really didn’t see you.”

“I’ve been here for quite a while. What’s on your mind? It’s unusual for you to be in such deep thoughts,” Sean taunted impolitely.

Eli rolled her eyes at Sean and said, “Will you die if you didn’t annoy me for a day? Don’t bother me today, I’m in a bad mood. I’m thinking about life.”

“Why don’t you tell me about it? I might even give you some advice. Otherwise, you probably wouldn’t even get an answer until tomorrow with that brain of yours,” Sean said as he sat on the armrest of the wooden chair next to Eli.

Eli patted the dog’s head and looked at Sean in confusion, “Do you think that I’m useless?”

Sean nodded, “Well, It’s simply a fact that you really are useless.”

Eli rolled her eyes once more, “I’m really am useless to you then! Why are you keeping me around then?”

“Useless things could always be reused. I love myself a challenge.”

“Get lost. Birds of a feather flock together. If I really am a good-for-nothing, then you’re not far from being one either. I used to be such a confident person, but you made me lose my confidence. Will you be happy when I lose my self-esteem completely?” Eli said despondently?

Her self-esteem was easily crushed whenever she was in front of him.

Sean knew that he had crossed the line when he saw Eli’s eyes turning red. He explained helplessly, “That’s why I want you by my side. I’m just too smart. With you by my side, you will slowly become smarter too.”

A strange feeling arose in Eli’s heart. She turned to look at Sean’s handsome face and asked, “Sean, why do you like me?”

He shrugged and replied, “I think that I’m too perfect. It would be too easy even for the heavens to be jealous of me. With an imperfect person like you dragging me down, you’ll make both of us balanced and perfect.”

“I want the truth,” Eli furrowed her brows as she gradually became angry.

“Oh,” Sean stood up and looked at Eli, who was already at her wits’ end. “I like you, and I don’t need a reason for that. I’ve liked you for over ten years. If you really do need a reason, then I could only say that my feelings would not change after I grew to like someone. After all, you did seduce me when I was young,” Sean explained.

His words instantly calmed her angry heart. Eli even subconsciously lowered her voice and asked, “When have I seduced you?”

“You deliberately wore my shirt without wearing anything inside, right? You were so young at that time. Have you already started seducing men at that age?” Sean said as he slowly tapped her head.

Eli couldn’t cover her forehead as she was holding the puppy in her hands. She took a step back and continued, “When did I do that? I did not even notice it at all. I was so young at that time. I didn’t even think that twice before doing anything.”

Sean smiled and spoke, “That is why we’re destined to be together. Even if this is not our destiny, since we have already walked this far, I’ll just consider it as my fate and continue to walk down this path.”

They were very similar whenever it came to discussing such topics.

Eli was also the type of person who would continue with what she thought was right despite knowing fully that it was wrong.

Eli composed herself, lowered her head, and looked at the dog in her hand. She then asked him, “Why did you think of buying a dog?”

“We mentioned Stella and talked about her dog in one of the meetings we had earlier today. You seemed to like dogs when you were young, so I bought him to accompany you when you were bored. That way, you wouldn’t have to overthink throughout the entire day too,” Sean explained as he patted the dog. Their fingers touched from time to time as though he had taken Eli for a pet as well.

Eli paused. She was sure that Sean was mocking her at that moment. She would’ve definitely been angry had it been any other time. However, she could actually hear his concern for her.

He remembered that she liked dogs. He knew that she was bored and he also knew that she had the tendency to overthink.

Perhaps her feelings for Sean had gradually changed, and she actually felt moved at this moment.

“Why were you all talking about Stella in the meeting?” Eli asked.

“Stella had registered a website and recruited some reporters to run it. There will be a disciplinary official in the officialdom in the future. She doesn’t exist in the political field but her name strikes fear in the hearts of many. Therefore, many people fear her, some even fear her dog,” Sean smiled as he explained.

“You won’t be going against her, right?” Eli asked as she felt a faint sense of worry.

Sean scratched her nose and comforted her, “Don’t worry. I’ll protect her for your sake. After all, she actually does cares a lot about you.”

Tears started to gather around her eyes. Eli had always been an emotional person.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

She realized how good Sean was to her, so she thought for a while and said, “I will remove the device from my body and give you another child.”
