Chapter 58
Elijah didn’t open his mouth, so Freya forcefully inserted the medicine into his mouth, her fingers roughly pulling at his lips. Elijah had no choice but to open his mouth and hold the medicine that Freya had forcefully stuffed into his mouth.
“Freya, men like gentle women. You’re too wild.”
“It’s just that you don’t like it, right? Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean everyone else doesn’t like it. Besides, my man likes my wildness.” Freya raised a big, provocative smile.
Elijah’s brows furrowed.
Wasn’t he asking for trouble?
Clearly knowing that Freya had a man, how did he bring up the topic?
Thinking of Freya lying under another man like this, Elijah’s blood seemed to surge and rush into his brain. He suddenly lowered his head, forcefully pressing down on her lips.
“Mm…”
Freya struggled to push him away. “What are you doing…”
Elijah had lost his sanity at this moment. He wanted this woman to belong to him. If the past couldn’t be changed. He would do it now.
He pressed tightly, kissed deeply. His invasive breath carried a possessive destructiveness.
There was a sweet and sour taste in his mouth. Surrounded by his unique scent, Freya couldn’t push him away, only able to endure. But she gave no response. Even though her heart echoed with this kiss.
…
Elijah, not getting any response, felt frustrated. He lifted himself away from her lips. Her lip petals were kissed red, moist and tempting, like cherries just washed with water. Her body was delicate, helpless under his unrestrained actions, giving a sense of fragility.
Elijah gently caressed her cheek. His Adam’s apple rolled up and down. There was something to say in his heart. But nothing could be said. Perhaps, she needed time. After all, they didn’t know much about each other.
He smiled, “The dumplings today were delicious.”
Freya, with her eyes open, fluttered her curled eyelashes gently. “Can you get up now?”
She was a bit indifferent.
However, Elijah was so enthusiastic.
Elijah forcibly took her hand and put it on his face. “You can learn to be gentle.”
Freya pursed her lips tightly. She didn’t understand what Elijah wanted to do.
Was it liking?
No.
If Elijah liked her, he wouldn’t treat her so ruthlessly. Perhaps, it was his male chauvinism, wanting her to submit to him? Fortunately, she had a child to keep her sober at all times, and not be confused by him.
She smiled, “If you like gentle women, I think Liora Valentine is more suitable.”
She was going against her heart because she knew Liora was not gentle at all.
Elijah’s face immediately darkened.
Why did she bring up that woman at this moment?
“Freya, are you jealous?” Elijah asked.
If she wasn’t jealous, why would she suddenly mention Liora Valentine at this time?
She thought in her heart, “You’re the one who’s jealous!” She smiled and evaded the topic, “Can you let me go? I’m really tired.”
She couldn’t answer. If she said she wasn’t jealous, Elijah would definitely pester her endlessly, saying she was jealous. If she said she was jealous, she would be going against her own heart. And the whole car seemed to be filled with his breath.
She wanted to escape.
“Okay.” Elijah made a soft sound. He stood up.
Freya bounced up as if she had been released, pushed open the car door, and walked down.
Elijah, through the windshield, watched her retreating figure and gradually deepened his gaze.
…
The next day.
In the morning, Freya came downstairs in her pajamas. With no job, she had a lot of free time now. During this time, she had no intention of finding any work. Her main task now was to get away from Elijah.
Last night, her mother called her to ask when she would come over. But now, Freya had just been caught by Elijah and was being watched closely. She had no chance to escape. She told Elowen that she had something to deal with and would come over after handling it.
“Madam, come for breakfast!” Linda said.
Freya looked around and didn’t see Elijah. She asked, “Where is he?”
“I saw him carrying swimming gear. He should be going for a swim.” Linda said.
Elijah was actually afraid of water after being submerged, but the more he feared something, the more he would overcome it.
“Which swimming pool is he going to?” Freya tried to find out.
Linda shook her head. “Mr Silverton never goes to the swimming pool. He goes to the reservoir. The water in White Cloud Reservoir is deep and clear…”
Freya had an understanding expression. She went to the dining room, sat down, and pretended to play with her phone. She then informed Liora Valentine of Elijah’s whereabouts.
After sending the message, she put down her phone and calmly had breakfast.
…
Liora Valentine, half-believing, half-doubting, brought swimming gear to the reservoir. From a distance, she saw Elijah’s car parked on the side of the road. This place prohibited swimming because the water was deep and dangerous.
She was excited inside. She thought Freya finally did something good and didn’t deceive her. When she arrived, she had changed into a swimsuit and brought swimming gear. But she couldn’t swim. However, for Elijah, she was willing to try. Arriving at the reservoir, she had to climb a high platform to get closer to Elijah. Liora climbed without feeling tired. When she reached the top, a lake-like reservoir appeared before her eyes.
This place had not been polluted. The water was very clear, surrounded by green mountains. The morning air here was particularly fresh. She saw the person in the water. Her heart surged.
Liora wanted to go into the water. So she grabbed a swimming ring and walked forward. To go into such deep water, it was safer to wear a life jacket, especially in this remote and uninhabited place. But Liora, in order to show off her good figure in front of Elijah, didn’t wear the bulky and ugly life jacket. She just used a swimming ring around her body.
The water was cool, and Liora Valentine walked forward confidently. She urgently wanted to appear in front of Elijah, to give him a romantic encounter.
However, being unable to swim, she walked slowly with the swimming ring, making splashing sounds.
Elijah was already swimming back. Liora seemed to have noticed that he was about to leave, and in her anxiety to catch up, she made a mistake, causing the swimming ring to slip off her body, and she sank.
She swallowed a mouthful of water.
“Help… help!”
Elijah had already come ashore, his tightly fitting swimsuit emphasizing his powerful and muscular body.
“Help!”
Elijah heard the sound and turned back to see someone in the water, with only her head showing, hands constantly flailing.
There were rarely people here. Without any hesitation, he swam over to rescue the person. This was a reverence for life. When he reached the shore and saw that it was Liora Valentine, his face immediately turned cold.
“Are you stalking me?”
Liora Valentine shook her head, still in shock. Just now, she had almost drowned.
“I’m not stalking you. I came to swim…”
Elijah wouldn’t believe her nonsense. She couldn’t swim at all. What kind of swimming was she talking about?
Liora also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly explained, “I came here to learn swimming.”
“You might be more believable if you said you came here to commit suicide.” After speaking, Elijah climbed the steps, turned back, and warned her with a cold look, “If you dare to follow me again, don’t blame me for being unkind!”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I really didn’t follow you, I just…”
“Just what?”
