Chapter 10

Penulis: Washing Wheat
After spending only one night on that bed, my entire body felt sore. My back ached, my waist hurt, and every movement felt uncomfortable.

While Elias made breakfast, I slipped my arms around his lean waist from behind and mumbled awkwardly, “Um… can we move back today?”

The man thought about it for a second and nodded thoughtfully.

“Good point. The big bed at the villa gives me more room to work with.”

Me: …

The silence felt heavy.

  • What the Screen Never Knew   Chapter 10

    After spending only one night on that bed, my entire body felt sore. My back ached, my waist hurt, and every movement felt uncomfortable.While Elias made breakfast, I slipped my arms around his lean waist from behind and mumbled awkwardly, “Um… can we move back today?”The man thought about it for a second and nodded thoughtfully.“Good point. The big bed at the villa gives me more room to work with.”Me: …The silence felt heavy.When we arrived at the villa, a fluffy calico kitten came wobbling toward me, meowing nonstop.It looked only three or four months old.Delighted, I scooped the kitten into my arms. Then I suddenly remembered the scratches on the back of Elias’s hand. “You prepared this?”Elias sounded ridiculously proud of himself. “Got it from Yoana. It is the baby of that big orange cat you always feed.”My nose stung slightly. “However, do you not hate cats?”Elias answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “However, you like them.”I looked at

    Only then did I finally realize what that banquet actually was.It was Yoana’s engagement party.Her fiancé was not Elias.I stared at the man beside me in shock.As if he sensed my gaze, he lowered his head slightly to look at me. “What is wrong?”I suppressed the confusion swirling inside me and shook my head. “Nothing.”The floating comments exploded.They were clearly just as confused as I was.[Where the heck did the plot suddenly go?][Why was the female lead suddenly getting engaged to a random side character who had never appeared before? Could someone explain that to me?][No clue.][He was not exactly random. If I remembered correctly, he was the female lead’s childhood neighbor. They had liked each other for years.][Then what about our male lead? Is he just here to celebrate or what?][Relax. Doesn't the male lead already have the side character by his side anyway?][Forget weird ships. If this pairing is right in front of me, I'm shipping it! They actually lo

    “It is me. Elias. The thief already ran away.”I was still scared and stayed cautious. “How do I know you are really Elias?”The person outside sounded like he was grinding his teeth.“Nancy, you have been running away from home for exactly seven days, eleven hours, and thirty‑nine minutes. Is that enough proof for you?”Silently, I calculated the time in my head.Then I finally let him in.Elias looked terrible. His expression was dark as storm clouds.After he glanced around my apartment once, his mood worsened.“You are seriously living in a place like this? And as for the breakup, I do not agree. Come back with me.”I shook my head and took two steps backward, putting distance between us. “No.”“You would rather spend every night scared out of your mind than stay at my place?”I blinked, and a tear rolled down my face.It was only a reflexive tear from being frightened earlier. With reddened eyes, I nodded pitifully.“Yes.”The moment Elias saw me crying, panic flashed

    [The side character isn't seriously going to think the male lead likes her because of this, right? Please. Men have physical needs, okay?][Called it. The side character was totally playing hard to get.]This time, I did not blindly believe the comments. I could not shake the feeling that there were still many things left unsaid between Elias and me.I leaned forward and pressed a light kiss against his moving throat, stopping him before he could continue.“Elias, are you doing this because you like me, or just because you have needs?”The man froze for a moment. Then a low laugh escaped him.“Nancy,” he said slowly, “I have hands. Besides that, there are plenty of other ways to deal with those kinds of needs. I…”Before he could finish, his phone rang. Elias clicked his tongue in annoyance.After he heard whatever was said on the other end of the line, his expression changed at once.The moment he hung up, he started getting dressed, clearly preparing to leave.“Something ha

    My mind felt completely tangled.The moment I heard the word breakup, I instinctively avoided Elias’s gaze. I turned and ran back to the bedroom.For some reason, I suddenly remembered the scratches on the back of Elias’s hand when he washed my underwear earlier.A few tiny marks. They looked like they had been left by a cat.We had used up all the bandages at home last time.After thinking about it, I decided to go buy some. At the same time, I needed space to calm down.Deep down, I still felt like Elias was not the kind of person the comments made him out to be.My luck was terrible.On the way back, a heavy storm started without warning. A passing car splashed muddy water all over me.In the chaos, someone bumped into me, and I fell hard onto the ground, scraping my knee badly.I forced the tears back into my eyes.I held the box of bandages tightly against my chest, gritted my teeth, and ran home through the pain.As I kept running, an umbrella suddenly appeared above

    I lowered my eyes.I was about to slip away quietly when Yoana suddenly called out to me. Her eyes curved into a smile.“You are Mr. Carter’s girlfriend, right? You are really pretty. Oh, and my name is Yoana. I like cats too.”I blinked in confusion.I was about to respond when Elias moved too quickly. Before I could say anything, he had already ushered Yoana out the door.Then he walked straight into the bedroom.When he came back out, he held another pillow in his hands. It was the one I had bought for him.Without any change in expression, he handed it to me.“Your room probably does not have a pillow, right? Use this one.”After a brief pause, he added, “This one is comfortable.”I stared at it for a few seconds before reaching out to take it. A bitter feeling flashed through my chest, and I answered with difficulty. “Okay.”The comments had been right again.Elias had chosen the pillow Yoana gave him and returned mine instead.Maybe he was afraid I would make a scene
