When he made a turn into the kitchen, he saw Elizabeth seated at the bar counter. One of her legs was resting on another chair, as she leaned herself against her knee. Her long and slender legs were pale and soft, and her skin was smooth and flawless. She was wearing only a pair of pants and a white tank top. In front of her was a hot bowl from which the aroma was emanating. Evidently, she was eating supper.
But this position…
Christian watched her pick up her fork, twirl them around some noodles, and stuff them into her mouth as she started to eat heartily. He closed his eyes, exasperated. “Elizabeth…”
Immediately, Elizabeth turned her head in surprise. When she saw Christian, she almost fell off her chair.
“Christian, why don’t you make a sound when you walk?” she yelled. She patted her chest and said, “I thought there was a ghost.”
Christian said, “You were cooking?” He did not
The next day, Elizabeth did not see Christian when she woke up in the morning. Perplexed, she asked, “Where is the Master?”The maid replied, “Sir did not sleep well last night, so he left early in the morning.”Elizabeth thought to herself, This person is obviously uncomfortable living with her, but he still insists on doing so.Sure enough, the power of love was noble. In order to protect Chelsea from harm, he could really tolerate anything. Thinking of it that way, she began to pity Christian.But during the next few days, Christian did not come back at all. Elizabeth thought to herself, Was it because Chelsea had said something that affected him, which prevented his return?If that was the case, it was probably good for both of them…After all, they were still not used to each other after such a long time. Living together indeed made both of them uncomfortable.But why did she feel slightly uneasy?
Elizabeth looked at Tina's boyfriend David. Perhaps it was because she had drunk too much wine, or her alcohol capacity was too low, but she had become much more impulsive. “What if I’ve already offended them?”David paled as he said, sighing, “It may be alright to offend Young Master Charles. But his eldest brother is the business tycoon, Christian. These people are typically involved in dealings unimaginable to us. So in this country, it’s better to stay away from the Ford family. Do you understand?”Elizabeth felt her mind turn abuzz in chaos. “How could I be acquainted with them? It’s fine. Just let me go. You should go back and look after Tina. There’s no need to bother about me. I'll not implicate you or your lover with my actions"“But…”As David looked at her, she pushed his hand away with her slender one. The softness of her palm made him space out momentarily. At that momen
How Elizabeth wished she could bury herself into a hole in the ground. As she looked at him, she fiddled with her hands as she said sheepishly, “Last night…” “To be precise, you should say this morning because it was already dawn when you came back.” Holding a white, ceramic coffee mug between his fingers, he brought it to his lips and took a sip. “…” Fine. Elizabeth said lowly, “S-sorry. I was drunk. I… I forgot what I did.” Elizabeth was intended to play ignorance. Christian raised his deep eyes and looked at her. “You did nothing.” “Is that so,” Elizabeth blurted. She looked happily at the man for not reminding her about her misbehavior. Christian’s eyes flashed. “Or were you hoping that you did something?” “No, no. It’s best if I didn’t do anything.” Elizabeth looked down in guilt. Christian narrowed his eyes and stared at her. “It looks like you’ve forgotten everything?” Elizabeth said quickly, “Yes, yes. I remembe
“Aunt Linda, I’ve said it before. I’m not going back, so just forget about it,” Elizabeth said.Through the phone, Linda could not see her, so at the very least, she did not dare act too aggressively. Her tone of voice brought with it a hint of consolation as she said, “Elizabeth, your aunt is also doing this for your own good. There is nothing bad about the Miller family. Although the idiot is dumb, at least his family background is good. If you marry him, you will good days ahead. You’ll immediately become the Young Madam and be able to buy whatever you want; their family won’t control you. Your husband is sick and won’t be able to control you either. By that time, the Miller residence will be under your rule.”Her aunt wanted to marry her into a Miller family to their mindless son. The reason she gave was that now Elizabeth was not V*rgin and can't be married to someone with dignity, she should marry that stupid
Elizabeth entered the bathroom and took off her clothes, preparing to shower.The bathroom here was bigger than the living room of her house. Just the hydromassage tub alone seemed big enough to swim in. However, she seldom used the tub since she always felt a little unaccustomed to it.She saw that today, the maid had already filled the tub with water that was still hot with steam rising from it. After thinking about it, she removed her clothes and stepped into the tub carefully.When she immersed herself in the water, sure enough, she felt much more relaxed.She washed herself in the bath until her entire body was languid to the point of falling asleep. When she stood up, she only felt sudden dizziness before she fell down into the tub. A splash of water resounded.Christian heard the noise from outside and quickly ran over. He pulled open the door only to see Elizabeth trying hard to crawl out of the tub. Her face was flushed red and was clouded
Christian pressed the bell on the side while saying to her, “If you need anything, don’t move. Just press this and a maid will come.”It was his first time explaining these things to her personally. For the past few days, she had remained oblivious that such things even existed.She looked at the button at the head of the bed and said in awe, “Being rich is just great. You can lie on the bed for a whole day without moving and you still wouldn’t die of hunger.”Christian looked at her. “Right now, you’re also a rich person.”“I’m not at all,” Elizabeth said.Christian said, “With a husband as wealthy as me, of course, you’re a rich person.”When Elizabeth heard this, she felt a tingling warmth in her chest. But then again, she remembered that it would only be for a few years, so she pondered a bit before saying, “Forget it. If I really get too accu
Elizabeth took it seriously and began to earnestly read the book in her hand. Charles who was sitting in front of her raised his head now and then to look at her but realized that she did not even spare him a glance and really treated him as if he was invisible.Charles rested his chin on one hand and began to scrutinize Elizabeth in detail. Every woman would never miss the chance to fan over him, but she didn't even spare him a glance.When Elizabeth realized that he didn't move, she lifted her head and asked in a perplexed tone, “Young master Ford, why are you looking at me?”Charles watched her "Why don't you call me by name?"Elizabeth said with a smile "Because you are a Young master of the Ford family, and I'm just a waitress here. I can't just call you by your name"He watched her every action and believed she doesn't care about him and sadness crept into his heart. Charles asked, “Do you think I’m ugly?”
Adrian Ford looked at Elizabeth. Although it was their first time meeting, his gaze fixed on her eyes in satisfaction before he nodded and said, “Nice lady, live well with Christian.”As he said this, Olivia said again from behind, “Bring Young Madam downstairs to change her clothes first. Christian is really not thoughtful. Her clothes are too tight, so how uncomfortable would she be if she wore this at home?”Quickly, the maid respectfully led Elizabeth to change her clothes.As Christian watched her leave, he heard Adrian saying from inside, “This lady is not bad.”Christian said, “Is it because She is not just a regular human but from the Greenwood family that you think she’s not bad?”Adrian looked at Christian. “One look at her and you can tell she’s neat and natural. She’s a good woman. Compared to that girl from the Asdel family what was her name again? Chelsea of yours
