Chapter 28 You’re Jealous
Freya Stone thought about the relationship between Liora Valentine and Elijah Silverton. At this moment, because of what Liora did to her, she also had a bad attitude towards Elijah.
“I can do whatever I want. Do you have any say in it?”
She was just too panicked. When she found out she was pregnant, she wanted to get an abortion. But when someone threatened her child, she lost control. She was actually afraid of losing them, and she wanted to protect them.
Liora knew that she and Elijah were married. She must have thought that Freya’s child belonged to Elijah. So that was why Liora tried to harm her children.
Being too nervous, Freya ignored Orion Russo who was standing next to her and made a rude gesture.
Facing Elijah’s fierce gaze, Orion immediately explained, “I didn’t see anything.”
He also kicked Freya out of the car for fear of being targeted by Elijah’s anger before driving away quickly.
Freya pursed her lips tightly and stared at Elijah with intense hostility.
Elijah frowned; he hadn’t even come after her yet but now she wanted to turn things around on him? This woman – how dare she?
“Get in the car!” he ordered sternly.
Freya opened the door and got in mockingly, “Birds of a feather flock together!”
“What are you talking about?” asked Elijah as he quickly grabbed hold of her chin.
“Freya Stone, are you getting impatient with me? Can’t remember what I said?”
His grip tightened considerably almost dislocating her jaw.
“I remember,” replied Freya sharply, “But I don’t want to listen to you. What right do you have asking me for something a wife should do when you haven’t done what a husband should do?” She became angry thinking about what Liora had done against her.
“You don’t want me having contact with other men? Fine then don’t have any contact with Liora Valentine either. Can you manage it?”
Elijah’s face darkened but suddenly relaxed as his eyebrows lifted slightly showing some excitement.
“What? Are you jealous?”
Freya immediately denied it, “How could I be jealous of you?”
The expression on Elijah’s face gradually cracked open bit by bit! This woman really knew how to provoke him one way after another.
“I heard your mother is recuperating at Grace Hospital,” he said as he leaned closer while speaking hot breath spreading over his face carrying male aggression, making her feel flushed cheeks.
“You’re welcome, keep provoking me.” He added.
Freya instinctively flinched, but the next second, she was furious and reached out to choke him. Her mother was her weak spot. She could tolerate Elijah’s suppression of her, but she couldn’t bear him using her mother as a threat against herself.
“If you dare to harm my mother, I’ll die with you!”
Elijah didn’t move. This woman, who looked as delicate as a cat, had sharp claws. Once her bottom line was touched, she would not hesitate to resist.
He said in a deep voice, with a slight smile, “Now I give you the chance, strangle me.”
Xander glanced back through the rear-view mirror and felt like giving Freya a thumbs up.
She was awesome! She even dared to pinch Elijah’s neck!
Freya was actually timid. When she was extremely angry, her reactions were extreme, but she would calm down and become more restrained.
She then slowly released her grip.
However, her attitude was still clear as she said, “I don’t expect you to fulfill the responsibilities of a husband, and you shouldn’t expect me to fulfill those of a wife. When you can do it yourself, then come and ask me.”
Her attitude was quite tough.
Liora Valentine threatened her unborn children. As a mother, this was her minimum reaction and counterattack.
Elijah readily agreed without hesitation, “Sure.”
Freya was unexpected and incredible.
“Don’t you like Liora Valentine?” asked she.
She couldn’t believe what he said.
Liora Valentine was bragging to her earlier today about how Elijah told her everything. And it was Liora who had asked Elijah for Freya’s job. It should be noted that even Orion was unable to persuade Elijah. It was evident that Elijah was being difficult. But Liora Valentine did it.
Freya was a bit confused about the relationship between Elijah and Liora.
Regarding Liora, Elijah didn’t want to talk much about it. His face turned mild and he said, “Don’t ask too much.”
“Can I ask you not to inquire too much about me, such as who I am seeing?” Freya retorted.
Elijah discovered that this woman could easily provoke his anger in a matter of minutes.NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Can’t you just be docile?!”
Freya looked up and had to be strong, “No.”
“There is no love between us, it’s just that I need to take care of her because of some things, that’s all.” Elijah had never broken his usual habit and explained something to a person.
Ever since he found out that Liora had a boyfriend, his feelings towards that woman and that night had all vanished into thin air. The rest was just his tolerance for her because of that fact Liora saved his life that night. It had nothing to do with his feelings.
Freya seemed to have discovered a secret. Elijah’s kindness towards Liora wasn’t love or liking.
At this moment, she had a good idea and smiled.
Elijah frowned, “What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing,” Freya replied in an unusually gentle tone towards him.
Elijah was surprised! He looked at her with strange eyes. Had she taken the wrong medicine?
However, her enthusiasm continued until the next morning. She moved into the villa and cooked for the first time. She even asked Linda about Elijah’s taste, trying too hard to please him.
Elijah sat at the table and glanced over at the exquisite breakfast on it before directly asking, “So what do you want?”
Freya smiled pleasingly, “Try it first and see if my cooking suits your taste.”
She also thoughtfully heated up some milk for him.
After taking a bite of her fried egg and chewing twice, Elijah seriously evaluated it by saying, “It’s not that great, Linda makes better ones.”
Freya wanted to roll her eyes directly. Weren’t all fried eggs made equally? How could he distinguish between two different flavors? But since she needed his help, she still kept smiling on her face while saying, “I’ll try harder next time to make sure I satisfy you.”
After finishing his meal elegantly with a napkin wiping off from one corner of his mouth as usual, Elijah said, “If there is nothing else then I should go now.”
“I want you to take me to the hospital,” Freya immediately stated her request.
Elijah glanced at her but didn’t say anything despite seeing through what was going on in her mind. This woman had quite a vengeful heart! And strangely enough… he kind of liked it?!
Freya stood up and bowed ninety degrees before saying, “Thank you.”
Elijah replied simply, “You’re welcome.”
Freya packed herself up neatly before leaving out of the door where Elijah’s car was already parked outside waiting for them both.
Buying a car might be a hobby of all men, and Elijah was no exception. Apart from the commercial car he used, the one he most often drove was a Maybach.
There were more than a dozen limited edition luxury cars parked in the underground garage of the villa.
Freya rarely saw him driving.
Today he drove a Bentley limited edition, flamboyant and noble.
Despite being seen through by him earlier regarding what she wanted from him this morning, Freya still smiled generously.
With ample space inside allowing Elijah, a man as tall as 6′ 1″, to cross his legs easily, he asked teasingly while curling his lips slightly upwards.
“Are you satisfied?”
Freya nodded straight away without hesitation.
“Yes.”
The carriage fell silent after that statement was made inside it. Freya leaned against the car window, her face turned towards the outside world. Her hands rested on her stomach. Last night, she had thought a lot about her situation. Having children was not a wise choice, especially since she didn’t even know who the father was. But it wasn’t the child’s fault. The mistake was hers and that man’s.
Why should the child suffer for their mistakes?
Since they were both responsible for this situation, but only she could make decisions now, Freya decided to follow her heart. She would have and raise the children on her own.
Lost in thought, Freya didn’t realize when they arrived at the hospital entrance until Elijah turned to look at her and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
