She had seen a lot of partnership, as well as, separation in this world.
Some people would fall in love and get married to each other eventually. However, they would divorce after ten or twenty years. After the divorce, they would stop contacting each other again.
Marriage was as fragile as paper. Most of the time, the best way to maintain a marriage was to have children.
Children were something that held actual weight, which was more useful than marriage certificates.
Besides, despite how much he loved Eli, it was a fact that they had a child together.
He had seen too much sorrow, joy, separation and reunion, and also the weakness of the relationships between family, friends, and lovers.
Sean Yaleman was willing to take the risk of losing his reputation to keep Eli Wayne by his side. Although he was rather overbearing, at least Eli could still be her true self in front of him. In other words, it meant that he really doted on Eli.
Eli might never encounter such pure love again in the future.
“I can help you, but I need you to agree to a few conditions,” Natalie let out a sigh of relief.
“Say it,” Sean loosened the hand that was holding on to Natalie’s shoulder.
“First of all, before you divorce, you can’t go looking for Eli,” Natalie said.
“Okay,” Sean agreed without hesitation.
“Second, if Eli found a man she loves before you solved your problems, you will not be allowed to disturb her life.”
Sean’s eyes were covered with coldness, and he said coldly, “Okay.”
“Third, if you are still the President when you marry her, you must believe her firmly, tolerate her, and help her. Eli is not good at hiding, so it’s very easy for her to be duped by others.”
“That’s for sure. I won’t let her be wronged, even if I have to destroy everything. No one can bully her except me.”
“You are not allowed to bully her either.”
Sean was speechless.
He paused for a moment and he finally said, “Fine, I won’t bully her. I will be bullied by her, okay?”
“I want you to swear that if you couldn’t fulfill the conditions that I had just said, your parents will live a life worse than death and you will lose your reputation,” Natalie looked Sean’s eyes.
“That’s vicious,” Sean replied.
“So, are you going to swear on it or not?” Natalie asked.
Sean raised his hand, “If I don’t love Eli, I will lose my reputation. If I don’t fulfill the conditions that had just been mentioned, my parents will live a life worse than death. Satisfied?”
Natalie nodded, “I’ll tell Allen to inform you of Eli’s whereabouts once she’s settled down.”
Sean’s eyes flashed and he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, “I’m sorry to trouble you then. I’ll ask someone to send you home now. By the way, do you know what you should and shouldn’t say?”
“What do you think?”
“I don’t know what kind of fortune does Eli has in her life to be able to have you as her friend,” Sean said meaningfully.
“Eli is a fortunate person. Thank you for sending me home then. I’ll tell you the address after Eli settles down. Don’t forget what you’ve promised.”
Sean blinked his eyes, opened the door, and ordered the guard outside, “Send Miss Wheeler back.”
“Yes.” The guard led the way outside the door.
Sean watched as Natalie’s back disappeared in front of him. He then ordered the adjutant standing next to him, “Once we get to know Eli’s address, you would have to monitor her twenty-four hours seven days a week. She will never be able to escape.”
Natalie Wheeler was sent back to Gorady Spa House. She looked at the time, it was already 3 o’clock in the morning, which meant it should be 8 o’clock in the evening in Paris.
She called Allen.
“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Allen said softly.
“Allen, the plan has changed. Sean just talked to me, and he will let you take Eli away deliberately.”
“Huh? Deliberately? What do you mean?” Allen was confused.
“You should rescue Eli and get her settled in France for ten days. Don’t let anyone kidnap her. Ten days later, transfer her to D Country, but you have to tell me her detailed whereabouts.”
“It sounds more interesting than before. Are you willing to tell me the reason?” Allen asked gently.
“Sean said that he is willing to let Eli go until he gets his freedom. I want to test him and tell him a fake address to see his reaction. If he does fulfill his end of the promise, then I will tell him the real address,.”
Allen laughed, “Could I say that the good would always triumph over the evil? Haha, you’re too smart.”
“I’ll take it as a compliment.”
“Well, but I may need you to do me a favor,” Allen said awkwardly.
“What is it?” As long as she could do it, she would definitely do it.
She didn’t like to owe others, but she had owed a lot of people before. However, she couldn’t seem to repay her gratitude, such as, to Eli, and to Greg Miles. This had been weighing heavily in her heart.
“My grandmother wants to go to A country next month. I did say that you are my friend. I may have to trouble you to come out to meet her when she’s there.”
“I thought it was something serious. Don’t worry, it’s the least I can do. Send me a text message once you’ve confirmed the time.”
“Well, okay, you should go to bed soon. It’s very late, it’s not good for your skin to sleep so late,” Allen said with a smile.
Natalie felt at ease whenever she spoke with Allen, “Okay, good night. See you next month.”
“Good night, see you next month.”
Natalie hung up the phone, took a bath, lay on the bed, and thought a lot. Whenever she thought of Jasper Milton, she would feel a faint pain in her heart. It was such an awful feeling.
Fortunately, she would soon be free and her heart would no longer hurt. She would not have any other feelings. She turned over, but her face was wet.
Life was like a dream – fickle, and momentary. Misfortunes would happen all the time in one’s life, so it would be better for them to accept it and move on with their lives.
She fell asleep in a daze. It was already 12. 20 p. m. when she woke up. After washing up, she called Eli.
“How is it? I’ve been waiting for your call for a long time,” Eli said anxiously.
“Allen said that as long as you go to France, he will be able to save you as he has the God’s Eyes.”
“God’s Eyes? What is he talking about? Is he exaggerating?” Eli was worried.
Natalie thought Eli must be so anxious that she was out of her mind. Thus, she explained in detail, “It refers to a monitoring system. Every road and community has a monitoring system. As long as you go to France, he would be able to use the monitoring system to find your position through the face recognition system.”
“Oh, I get what you mean. I haven’t eaten and slept well recently, so my mind doesn’t seem to be in the right place. Anyway, I have to hang up now, Sean is here again. Let’s talk about it later,” Eli hung up the phone hurriedly.
Natalie sighed.
Even if Sean really loved Eli, she was afraid that Eli would not be able to accept it within a short time. After all, their relationship had started off on the wrong foot and they had such a big gap in status.
At this moment, her phone rang. She got from the bed and saw that it was a landline number. She then answered, “Who is this?”
“Hello, Miss Wheeler, I am from the yacht company. Today is the last day of the promotion for the yacht which you had taken a fancy to last time. We are pleased to inform you that we have a last-minute discount today. We will drop the price by another 50, 000 dollars. On top of that, you will receive a complimentary motor-boat as well. If you miss the chance today, there will no more similar chances in the future.”
“Well, I’ll take one, but I want a brand new one. I don’t want it to have any quality issues.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Wheeler. Our company has been established for 30 years and has a good reputation thus far. When will you be able to pay the deposit?”
“This evening.”
…
Elvis Zachary received a phone call and subsequently informed Jasper, “Miss Wheeler really bought a yacht in her own name. Do you still want to buy it?”
Jasper looked ahead with his deep eyes and ordered, “I need you to head to Sun City and do something for me.”
