As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice faltered, “Elijah, hug me.”
Elijah bent down, hugging her through the blanket, gently asking her, “Is your back hurting?”
Freya didn’t speak.
Elijah chuckled, “What’s wrong? Hm? Your son has red eyes, and now you have red eyes too. Are you both going to cry for me?”
Freya sniffled.
“Is Kai crying?”
“He’s happy now, having fun outside.” Elijah’s expression softened, “And you?”
Freya reached out to him.
Her face buried in his chest, “I just miss you.”
Elijah chuckled softly, “I miss you too.”
“Elijah, I love you.” She could only express it this way, to tell him she cared.
But she couldn’t say it out loud.
About her biochemical pregnancy.
Elijah looked down at her.
She quickly turned her face away.
Tears slid from the corner of her eyes.
Pretending everything was fine, “Don’t look at me, I’ll be shy.”
Elijah covered her with the blanket, “I understand.”
“I’m tired, I want to sleep.” She pulled the blanket over her head.
Elijah gazed into her eyes, deepened with concern.
He softly said, “You go to sleep.”
He got up and walked out, gently closing the door behind him.
He went downstairs and called out, “Eagle.”
Eagle walked over.
Elijah asked him, “Anything happen today?”
Eagle thought for a moment and said, “Nothing.”
“Are you sure?”
Elijah’s sharp gaze pierced through him.
Even Eagle, a man with a strong presence, couldn’t meet his eyes, lowering his head, “I… I’m sure.”
He pondered carefully, indeed, nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
The only thing was Freya’s trip to the hospital.
But she instructed not to say anything.
He didn’t dare to act on his own.
He was conflicted, troubled!
“Mr. Silverton…”
He still couldn’t speak, so he mentioned the incident with the Dean’s son, “The deceased’s son, he confronted the lady outside the research institute.”
Elijah sighed, “I see.”
This matter hadn’t been resolved yet, Freya must be very stressed.
She was acting unusually, could it be because of this? It must be putting a lot of pressure on her.
He called Evan on his mobile, “The Dean’s death must be resolved quickly, you need to go to the police station again tonight.”
“Okay.”
The response came, Elijah went inside to get the car keys.
Elowen saw him about to leave again and said, “We’re about to eat, are you leaving again?”
Elijah said, “You guys go ahead, don’t wait for me, I have something to do.”
“What’s so urgent that you don’t even have time to eat? Finish your meal first before you go.” Elowen said.
Elijah fell silent, “Okay.”
He finished his meal before leaving.
Freya, using fatigue as an excuse, skipped dinner.
She clearly had a lot on her mind.
Elijah wanted to resolve this matter quickly, so he had to do two things at once!
He would handle the Dean’s son’s side.
…
The Dean’s son was brought to the KaiGenius Group.
Elijah sat in his office.
He ordered someone to make coffee.
“Please, have a seat.”
The Dean’s son, wary, asked, “What do you want with me?”
Elijah was direct, “Freya is my wife, you sued her, so why do you think I’m looking for you?”
He thought Elijah was going to beat him.
He was scared and tried to run outside.
He was stopped at the door!
Leaning back, legs crossed, Elijah calmly said, “Without my permission, you can’t leave.”
The Dean’s son turned around, “What do you want from me? I won’t compromise. Even if you kill me, my father was killed by your wife. I won’t be deterred by your threats. If I can’t pursue this, then what kind of son am I?”
Elijah raised an eyebrow.
He was still filial?
Just not very bright!
“It’s not her, so who is it?”
