“The secret that I want to know?” Eli Wayne was suspicious, “What’s that?”
“I’m not in a good mood now,” He smiled evilly and put her on the bed.
“Is it about you?” Eli narrowed her eyes and asked tentatively.
Sean Yaleman smiled even more teasingly, and his tone softened, “Do you want to know more about me?”
Eli shook her feet lazily, “Get out.”
Sean leaned down and pressed on her. He lifted Eli’s chin and looked at her with burning eyes, “I like how you look now, smug and cool.”
Eli pushed his hand away and said coldly, “You would be able to see how smug I am even after you leave.”
“This secret concerns the charity party. Don’t you want to go for the vacation?” Sean asked with a smile. When she hesitated for a moment, he lifted her ankles and asserted his dominance.
Eli frowned and slapped his face. A clear sound rang across the quiet room.
He grabbed Eli’s wrists and locked them above her head. His eyes were fixed on her.
Had it been someone else who dared to slap his face, that person would definitely be dead by now.
However, it was not unusual for Eli to slap his face.
He thrust into her again and again with great strength, as if he could not wait to thrust deeply into her soul.
Eli glared at Sean, cursing in her heart.
Anyone would have better skills than him.
It did not feel pleasurable at all. However, if she still said that she did not enjoy it after they were done, he would probably not tell her the secret.
“Get down.” Eli said impatiently.
Sean tightened the muscles on his face. His extremely handsome face became much sharper, and his strength increased. He said unhappily, “Don’t you want to know the secret anymore?”
If things went on like this, she felt that she would die before he would tell her the secret. She suggested, “Let me do it.”
Sean was stunned, and surprise flashed across his eyes. He looked at Eli incredulously, “You want to take over?”
Eli pursed her lips and refused to speak.
She felt extremely restrained now.
Sean smiled and turned over to hold her up.
Eli looked at his extraordinarily enchanting face. It was such a waste that he did not want to be a woman.
“You know what to do. I don’t have to teach you, right? My mood is quite good now,” Sean looked at her patiently and raised his eyebrows slightly. He was obviously enjoying the whole experience.
Eli took a deep breath and put the pillow on his face. At that moment, the urge to suffocate him flashed across her mind.
However, she knew that she would not be able to live if she killed him. Her baby would lose his parents and Natalie would be dragged into the mess with her too.
Eli loosened her grip on the pillow and did not press it hard. She lowered herself gradually, closing the distance between them.
Sean took the pillow away and looked at Eli’s face gently. The corners of his mouth were curved upwards, “As expected, you look way more beautiful like this.”
“If you are in a good mood, you have to tell me the secret. If you break your promise, don’t expect me to take the initiative in the future,” Eli warned.
Sean held her waist, “When have I ever lied to you?”
“Ha,” Eli chuckled.
This chuckle was full of irony and denial.
To her, Sean was never an honest or reliable person. Where did he get the courage to say that he had never lied to her?
Sean scratched her nose, “Stay focused.”
She did not know if it was because they had done it just earlier that day, or because she was really distracted. After half an hour, he had not climaxed yet.
Her legs were turning jelly and her muscles were sore. She did not want to move at all.
“It’s so annoying. Even King Kong would get weak and tired. You must have consumed too much medicine, it’s so annoying!” Eli grumbled. Then, she gave up and lay down aside.
Sean laughed happily and kissed her lips. It was his turn now…
Eli fell asleep in a daze. After a long while, she finally opened her eyes. It was already dark outside.
“What time is it now?” Eli asked.
Sean was woken up by her. He took the phone from the bedside table and glanced at it, “4:15 a. m., it’s still early. Let’s sleep for a little while longer.”
“It’s 4. 15 a. m.? Well, how is Stella now? You haven’t told me your secret yet,” Eli nudged Sean repeatedly.
Sean was irritated by her constant nudging. He finally could not take it anymore. He sat up, turned on the light, and glanced at her with drowsy eyes, “Natalie’s blood test report is already out. It’s normal for the time being. I’ve already told you the secret last night. Didn’t you hear it?”
Eli hit him on the shoulder, “I was asleep, how could I hear it? Tell me again later. By the way, will Natalie become normal after this?”
Sean held her hand and looked her in the eyes. He asked again, “You promised me before that if I could cure her, you will follow me for the rest of your life, right? Are you going to keep your word?”
“Of course,” Eli replied without hesitation.
The corners of his lips twitched and he said, “The current research is very successful. Natalie is recovering. If everything goes according to plan, she should return to normal in due time. However, if you go against your word, then I will kill whoever I had saved and I will not spare any mercy to you either. Do you understand?”
Eli spaced out for a while. Then she nodded, feeling a little flustered.
If she leaves, she must take Stella with her. Sean was so cruel and merciless. He would definitely be able to do what he said.
“What’s wrong? Are you panicking?” Sean’s face darkened, and his grasp on her wrist tightened a little.
Eli pulled her hand away from his grip and clenched her fists.
She should not feel guilty. Sean was such a powerful person, and he would be able to notice the slight fluster in her.
“What do you mean when you said that you were not going to spare any mercy to me?” Eli asked.
“As long as you stay with me obediently, I give you eternal wealth and glory. You should not challenge me. After all, I know what your weaknesses are. Natalie, our child, your parents,” Sean hinted.
Eli’s heart sank even more.
What she wanted was never glory or wealth. Sean could never afford what she wanted. However, it was true that he knew what her weaknesses were.
“What’s the secret that you want to tell me then?” Eli asked, changing the subject.
“Tomorrow, Frederick Addington and Jasper Milton will be attending the auction too. They are determined to get ‘The Dreamy Girl’. They think that they will be closer to achieving their goal once they get the painting. However, the truth is that Aneira Mallon cares more about Stephen, the artist, instead of the painting,” Sean said.
“And? What’s the use of telling me this?” Eli was puzzled.
“There is another person who will be attending the auction tomorrow. He hails from France and he had inherited his mother’s title of nobility. His wealth is as rich as that of the nation. He is Stephen’s friend despite their difference in age, so if you don’t get this painting, you could still ask Stephen for help. The odds of success will be greater.”
“Why didn’t you find him yourself then? You’re such a good talker,” Eli looked at Sean suspiciously.
“I’ve already found him, but it didn’t go well. But I found out that it was Natalie who saved Allen on the plane yesterday,” Sean smiled. For thousands of miles, any color seemed to have lost their tint.
