Carolien seemed to have retreated bravely and her gaze followed him from the corner of her eyes. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. It was strange. He was so curious about her. Shouldn't he be angrier when she answered him like this? Why did the anger seem to have gone silent all of a sudden?
Carolien could vaguely feel that something was not quite right. Right at this moment, Elijah suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his embrace. He pressed her tightly against his chest.
"I'm sorry."
In his heart, he had been thinking about it for a year. Even though it was late, the words came out of his mouth. His deep voice was filled with a hundred thousand degrees of solemnity. A tear of regret appeared in his gently closed eyes and silently disappeared from the corner of his eyes.
She struggled for a while but failed to break free. She felt that he didn't make any other movements and seemed to have no malice. Carolien opened her big eyes wide and didn't answer, but her red lips unconsciously pouted.
He always did this!
Hadn't he almost stripped her naked and ate her whole?
However, when she opened her mouth, Carolien knew better to close her mouth again. She complained to herself, "If I'm sorry, then I'm sorry. If I'm hypocritical, then I'm hypocritical. I can't scold her back!"
At this moment, after adjusting his emotions, he slowly opened his eyes. Elijah seemed to be mumbling and muttering to himself, but he also repeated it clearly.
"Carolien... I'm sorry!"
She didn't know that the first cry was for the failure and hurt of the past; the next one was for the reckless helplessness just now!
A thousand waves surged from the bottom of his heart. Elijah didn't have the face to beg for her forgiveness and slowly let go of her. His gaze greedily landed on her face. His rough palm held her palm-sized face and wiped away the traces of crying once again. His eyes were full of seriousness and affection. He couldn't help but be stunned again. The next second, his eyes flashed uneasily.
Was he possessed? Did she hear wrongly?
"What's going on?"
There was a conspiracy!
Sure enough, the next second, someone said, "I'm sorry! Carolien, I tried, but I broke my promise!"
He could not forget, nor could he turn a deaf ear to her.
He couldn't let her go!
The three sentences of "I'm sorry" were full of all the attitudes and decisions that Elijah had made over the past, present, and future, from knowing each other, to the journey of love and killing each other.
Whether she understood or not, in an instant, Carolien was furious. "What do you mean?"
What was he up to?
Elijah's large palm that was stroking her temples paused for a moment before he smiled. "I want you! Destined!"
From now on, he would start from scratch, and he could not refuse!
"I'm not—"
Things could still be fixed!
Her intuition seemed to be a little wrong. Carolien kept silent, and her eyes almost rolled to the ground. She slightly leaned back to keep a distance from him. Her little hand on the bed quietly touched behind her, grabbed a corner of the pillow, and pulled it. Carolien threw it at his face, got up and rushed to the door.
"D*mn it, you're not a good guy!"
With an angry curse, Carolien's delicate figure flashed out of the room. She poked her head out of the door and shouted at him,
"Go to hell!"
As her voice fell, she didn't even dare to stop. With a loud bang, the door was slammed shut. At the same time, the sound of footsteps could be heard. He slowly got up and his gaze disappeared in the direction of the door. Elijah, however, laughed loudly.
"Ha-ha ."
It had been a long time, and he didn't know how it felt to smile.
He didn't chase after her. Instead, he reached into his pants pocket and took out the ring inside. He still had more important things to do that day!
"Carolien, you can't run away. I'll let you go today!"
