“Did I upset you?” Elijah could only think that he had done something to make her unhappy.
He carefully recalled, but it seemed like he hadn’t done anything to provoke her, right?
At this moment, Freya also calmed down.
It was her fault just now.
She shouldn’t have gotten angry at Elijah.
“I’m sorry,” she apologized on her own.
Elijah said, “It’s okay.”
“… Shouldn’t you say that we don’t need to apologize to each other?” Her lips trembled.
Elijah chuckled, “Apologizing when you’re wrong should become a habit. Otherwise, you’ll develop a habit of getting angry in the future.”
He didn’t want to be overly cautious.
When two people started being polite, it meant that their feelings had faded.
He didn’t want that!
Things had already happened.
Freya was already feeling upset, so at this moment, he should try his best to help her let go.
Not because he was generous.
But because he understood very well that this matter wasn’t her fault.
It was Ronan who was despicable and shameless!
To make Freya return to the way she was before, it would take time, and more importantly, it would require Elijah’s attitude.
The more it was at this time, the less he could treat her specially.
That would undoubtedly remind her of the existence of that matter.
Freya clenched her hand. “Elijah, I have a question for you. Please answer me honestly. You haven’t come home these past two days, is it because you don’t want to see me…”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Her words were interrupted by Elijah, his tone serious. “Are you unhappy all this time just because of that?”
Freya lowered her gaze, remaining silent, which was an admission.
In order to dispel her doubts, Elijah confessed, “I went to Stratos City.”
With just those words, Freya understood that it had something to do with Ronan.
But Elijah didn’t mention Ronan’s name, taking her feelings into consideration.
Freya felt ashamed for her previous suspicions about Elijah.
Now it was clear that he didn’t stay away because of what she had speculated.
Instead, it was her own petty thinking!
Elijah’s words were a declaration of his attitude and her feelings.
“Shall we go to the hospital?” Elijah asked, not forcing, but inquiring.
With the conversation opened, if Freya continued to throw a tantrum, it would only show her immaturity. She bit her lip, feeling remorseful for her behavior.
Freya got out of the car voluntarily.
Elijah reached out to support her, but she pulled her arm away. “I can manage on my own.”
The misunderstanding had been removed, however, she failed to be as close to Elijah as before. There was a knot in her heart.
Ultimately, it was her own self-disgust.
Elijah’s touch made her feel as though his purity was being tainted by her impurities.
She confessed to Elijah, “I shouldn’t have been moody with you today. I understand everything in my heart. Even if you didn’t go to Stratos City, but stayed away to adjust your emotions, it’s reasonable.”
Bitterly, she forced a smile. “I’m conflicted myself. Both you and I need time to adjust to this situation. But when you really don’t come home and avoid me to make adjustments, deep down, I blame you. Blame you for finding me repulsive.”
Elijah stopped in his tracks, wanting to tell her that there was no such thing as repulsion.
But he couldn’t deny that it was a shadow in his heart.
Freya’s phone suddenly vibrated.
She took out her phone from her pocket, and accidentally slid her finger to answer. A unfamiliar voice came from the other end…
