Semua Bab Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back: Bab 311 - Bab 320

"Stop it," Elijah whispered into her ear. "I just wanted to take a few pictures of you." Liesel extended her hand, and Elijah handed over his phone without hesitation. The photo showed Liesel in quiet solitude. Her side profile was radiant yet touched with a faint trace of melancholy. "Who's this stunning beauty? If no one claims her, she's mine." Elijah chuckled. "It'd be even better if this beauty could smile more. Do you think she could grant me one? I'll make it my phone wallpaper." Raising an eyebrow, she held up the phone and activated the front camera. She tilted herself slightly into Elijah's embrace. The camera captured them with a subtle air of intimacy.The warm yellow light in the distance added a soft glow that accentuated their features. Liesel obliged when he requested a picture for his wallpaper. She always had a soft spot for indulging her beloved. Elijah's heart warmed at the gesture, and he instinctively tightened his embrace, pulling her closer. He b

Chelsea certainly knew how to redirect attention. One moment, her words were drenched in teasing allure, but in the next, she would retreat just enough and take on the guise of an obedient figure. Her eyes fixed on him as if the entire universe reflected in them was solely his. Tobey paused. He was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang. The name "Yvette" lit up the screen. Yvette was the nation's sweetheart and one of the hottest stars of the moment. Chelsea had caught Tobey's attention because of her slight resemblance to Yvette. Yvette was Tobey's childhood friend. Chelsea's eyes darkened, but her lips held their gentle curve as if waiting for Tobey to take the call. He answered it. Chelsea watched him soothe another woman with a voice as soft as a caress. She seemed indifferent, yet her sharp, unreadable eyes carried a chill. When Tobey hung up, his gaze flicked back to her. Chelsea put on a pouty expression. His sharp features tightened. The warmth fro

The balcony doors had been locked long ago under Tobey's orders. His icy gaze hardened as he pinned Chelsea onto the wooden bench. Despite being held down with such force, Chelsea's breathy laughter filled the air. One moment, she was every inch the seductive temptress, and the next, she started adopting the unmistakable mannerisms of Yvette. She toyed with him to stoke his fury. Her lips brushed his ear as she whispered, "Doesn't this make it more exciting, Tobey?" When Tobey crushed her lips with his own, Chelsea wrapped her arms around him. She looked soft, but her eyes were cold. Chelsea was merciless. Since she couldn't fully pay Tobey back just yet, she'd drag him down with her, ensuring neither of them found peace. She relished seeing his hesitation when her movements mimicked Yvette's. It stopped him cold, forcing him to order her to drop the act. She would coo soft apologies to ease his tension just enough, only to pull the same stunt again moments later.The t

"Lili, I'm still waiting," Elijah teased. He raised an eyebrow and flashed her a crooked smile as he extended his hand again. Liesel glanced down at his well-defined hand. His long, slender fingers seemed elegant. Slowly, she placed her hand in his, and he tugged her closer to the railing.Elijah released her hand and placed both of his on her waist, effortlessly lifting her. Liesel instinctively bent her knees, helping him as she swung over the railing. But as she came down, she stumbled forward and landed squarely against his chest. Elijah stood firmly on the ground and caught her with ease. Her palms pressed against his shoulders for balance. Her face had lightly bumped against his chest just now, and she caught a whiff of his scent. It made her dizzy, and she flushed.The warmth of Elijah's hands on her waist seemed to burn through the fabric of her dress. Without warning, he slid them onto her bare back and pressed them directly against her skin. Liesel trembled at his

Liesel didn't look at Elijah. She shut her eyes as her voice was barely more than a whisper. "Elijah, do you really want to be with me? Are you sure you won't regret this someday?"You know this child is Jacob's. He'll grow up looking more and more like him. Won't his face remind you of those awful three years I spent with Jacob? Elijah…" She paused. "Maybe you should think this through again." Elijah was quiet. Liesel didn't open her eyes either. The silence in the car was suffocating.Suddenly, she felt a soft touch on her head. Soon, he wrapped her in a careful embrace. He sighed and murmured close to her ear, "Lili, open your eyes and look at me." Liesel's lashes fluttered. Slowly, she opened her eyes and met his gaze."Lili, can I take what you've just said to mean that you care about me? Because if you didn't, you wouldn't think so hard about this, would you?" His lips brushed her ear. "I'm glad you told me these things. But why can't you trust me a little more? I
