Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

If there was something between them, Yvonne would’ve deeply hated her instead of protecting her.

Moreover, Hodge Turner had just committed suicide.

Eli had intended to leave as soon as she discovered the murderer who had killed her mother and brought him to justice.

However, if it weren’t for Sean’s investigation, Hodge wouldn’t have been quickly exposed. In the end, it was Sean who had helped her.

He had treated her so well. It wouldn’t seem fair or kind if she had left once more.

Should she stay instead?

Eli’s phone rang as she drank the milk in her glass.

She quickly answered the phone when she realized that Sean had called.

“Are you awake?” Sean asked with a smile on his face.

“Of course I am. If I’m not awake, how could I answer your phone then? What’s the matter? If there’s something you want to tell me, just say it. I’m a little busy right now,” Eli said as she prepared the dog food and was ready to feed it.

“I’m going to have lunch at Stella’s at noon today. Do you want to come along?” Sean asked.

Eli paused.

She was actually touched by the fact that Stella had sent someone to protect her.

Yesterday, her heart ached when she realized that Stella had wanted to talk to her but didn’t dare to do so.

Stella was definitely a true friend.

“Do you think that I should go?” Eli asked Sean.

“Let me ask you this. If Stella knew that your mother would die, would she have told you where you had gone to?” Sean asked.

“Of course not,” Eli said with certainty.

“You should know that Stella has spent a lot of effort into your escape. I also knew that you wanted to leave. The day before you left, I went to find Stella and asked her to tell me your address. Do you know what did she say?” Sean asked again.

“How would I know? Just tell me,” Eli said impatiently.

“She wouldn’t allow me to barge into your life before I was done with my business.

If there was even a small risk of danger, she would immediately arrange for your escape.

She was just worried that you would lose your true love.

Perhaps it was because of her experience that she knew the importance of parents to a child. She wanted us to be together, so she made a bet on us once more.

After your mother’s accident, she questioned me like crazy. I could see that she is the one who really cares about you,” Sean said solemnly.

“Do you want me to make peace with her then?” Eli said as she understood the meaning behind Sean’s words.

Sean smiled and replied, “You were able to stay with someone whom you didn’t truly love because of her. I could see how important she is in your heart. She is a rational and reasonable person. If she’s by your side, at least you’d have someone to talk to and I will also be more at ease.”

Eli’s eyes turned red. “I’m a little annoyed at her. She’s my best friend, and I do think that she is more important to me than anyone else.”

“Therefore, you could forgive me, but you couldn’t find it in yourself to forgive her. You thought that I was involved in your mother’s death, but you were still willing to stay with me. You refused to forgive her because you cared too much about her. Since you care about her, don’t treat her as a stranger then,” Sean said.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, it’s all because of you that my mother died. I shouldn’t pay attention to you. I would have forgotten all about it if you hadn’t reminded me,” Eli said.

Sean paused and explained, “Eli, let me give you an example. Many people are seeking this particular treasure, and many people have died because of the treasure. You couldn’t possibly hate the treasure because of this, could you?”

“It’s different. I don’t want the treasure. I just want to stay away from it. You were the one who lured me into finding the treasure. My mother was killed in order to save me. Yes, you are the culprit,” Eli said as she came to her senses.

Sean’s back turned cold as he became nervous. “Where are you now?”

Eli hung up the phone and threw it on the bed. Her mind was completely blank.

She was unsure of what she wanted in the past. She just wanted to live a happy life.

However, until now, she was still unsure of what she wanted.

She fed the dog food and squatted on the ground as she watched the dog eat.

Eli’s phone rang again. She refused to answer it as she figured that it was yet another call from Sean.

Would her mother blame her if she were to stay with Sean?

How would she have known that Sean had been in love with her for a long time? If she had known, she wouldn’t have run away. If she hadn’t run away, maybe her mother wouldn’t have died. She also thought of the culprit of her mother’s death.

It was so frustrating.

Eli then left for a walk and went to the lake. The sunshine today was very comfortable and it warmed her body.

She gazed at the shimmering surface of the lake under the sunlight as she lay on the bench. It looked very beautiful. She didn’t want to think about anything as she closed her eyes lazily.

She immediately fell asleep soon after.

She was awakened by the roar of the plane not long after. She opened her eyes and looked at the sky. Was Sean back?

It really was him. Must he show off the fact that he owned a private jet?

Eli immediately sat up and rubbed her belly. She felt a little peckish.

She recalled the moments where she would buy tons of delicious food during the festive seasons.

She would buy candied fruit, nuts, beef jerky, chocolate, sweets, sausages, and chips.

She would nestle on the sofa comfortably and watch the TV as she devoured her snacks.

Sean’s chef was extremely famous and skilled. They had tons of food here but there were no snacks. Therefore, she decided to head out to buy some snacks.

Eli then returned to the room and packed her bag. All of a sudden, the door was kicked open. Sean’s eyes were red and his face was livid. He turned to her and asked with displeasure, “Where did you go just now? Where are you going now?”

Eli disliked his tone. It sounded as though he was angry with her. She was completely innocent.

“Are you crazy? I’m not your subordinate. I’m not drawing a salary from your department. I don’t need to report everything to you,” Eli responded.

Sean held her arm and there was panic in his eyes, “I won’t allow you to go out. You’re not my subordinate, but you are my woman.”

“If I don’t have my own freedom when I’m your woman, then I don’t want to be your woman anymore,” Eli said as she flung his hand away.

Sean held her hand tightly.

Eli couldn’t get rid of him and she soon became irritated. She grabbed his arm and bit it ferociously.

Sean looked at her without saying a word. No matter how hard she bit, he refused to let go.

Eli sniffed a scent of fresh blood and felt a sting in her heart. She looked at Sean in puzzlement and asked, “Don’t you feel pain?”

“You’re going to leave. This little pain means nothing,” Sean looked at her with his burning red eyes. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed but he was also determined to not let Eli go.

Eli figured that he might’ve misunderstood. “I just want to go out to buy something, and it’s not that I won’t come back. You started acting crazily as soon as you come back What is wrong with you?”

“You could ask the servants in the villa if you need anything. Or you could ask Colonel Cher to buy it for you too. Since you have his phone number, why don’t you just give him a call? I’ve asked someone to look for you in your room but only your phone is on the bed,” Sean asked as he locked Eli with his gaze.

Sean was scared that she was going to run away again. He won’t let her go this time.

He might actually go crazy if Eli were to hide from him once more.
