He had already decided on a plan from the beginning, using her to make a name for himself, asking whether she was touched or not.
Elisa glanced at him indifferently and replied, “Hamish, do you think I should be touched?”
After saying that, she couldn’t help but chuckle, and the sound was clearly audible in the car.
Hamish pursed his lips lightly, leaning back in his seat. His Adam’s apple moved as he said, “You are such a boring woman. Why can’t you think positively? Sometimes, being too clear-minded is not a good thing. One should be content and deceive oneself appropriately at the right time.”
Indeed, Hamish continued to use her, just as Elisa’s mind was filled with the scene of facing the reporters at the entrance just now.
Hamish’s lies, she knew from the beginning that they were false, but when those words came out of his mouth, her heart couldn’t help but react, as if the tenderness of the whole world had merged into her blood.
Unfortunately, she was too clear-minded and couldn’t deceive herself. Elisa’s mouth carried a touch of bitterness.
Thinking about the four years of marriage with Hamish, she loved him despite knowing that he was using her. She deceived herself and felt moved.
She was glad that she had now freed herself from the mud and no longer loved Hamish.
“I can’t deceive myself without a clear conscience. I have deceived myself for four years, and it’s enough,” Elisa said hoarsely.
Hamish despised stubborn women. He also knew that he couldn’t control this feeling, but he didn’t want to give up either.
That’s how he has always been. He must obtain what he wants.
Even if that thing itself is unwilling, even if it brings a lot of trouble.
Hamish took Elisa to the restaurant they had booked a long time ago.
The restaurant was magnificent, with a music fountain outside the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor. The melodious sound of the cello and the dazzling lights illuminated the fountain water column, exquisite and extraordinary.
Elisa stared at the fountain absentmindedly. Whenever she had nothing to do, her mind would wander, and she had to be called several times before she could hear it.
Hamish squeezed her hand and asked, “What do you want to eat?”
Elisa’s gaze returned from the fountain and looked into the man’s dark eyes. She reached out to take the red wine.
Hamish stopped her hand and said, “Forgot about your stomach?”
Elisa retracted her hand, propping her chin with a smile and said, “Why are you suddenly concerned about my stomach? Worried that I’ll get stomach cancer?”
“How could you get stomach cancer?” He was as confident as ever, more confident than Elisa herself. He used to think that Elisa had a good body, with a large supply of blood from Lila’s transfusion, she wouldn’t get sick no matter how he tormented her.
He knew Elisa had a stomach problem, but he never thought about her getting stomach cancer, which was more serious.
The waiter served an A5 grade steak. Elisa ordered it medium-rare, and the beef was tender and fragrant. Elisa cut a small piece and put it in her mouth. “You’re quite confident, but don’t worry, I won’t die before you do.”
At this moment, Hamish felt that Elisa hating him was a good thing. After going through so much, she never wanted to die. As long as he was alive, Elisa would live on.
Halfway through the meal, Elisa wiped her mouth and stood up.
“I’ll go to the restroom.”
The waiter was nearby and immediately led her there.
Elisa didn’t expect to meet her brother Ivan here.
The last time they met was during Koby’s trial. He slapped her in front of everyone and called her garbage, a bitch. He cursed her with the most malicious words, not treating her as his own sister at all.
That day, they severed their sibling relationship, and in those few days, Elisa lost all her family members.
Elisa never thought she would meet Ivan here, and after the surprise, it felt natural. Bankshire was not that big, with tens of thousands of roads, so it wasn’t difficult to run into each other.
