let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South Chapter 2031
However, Eliza was the sort who would seek vengeance. From the moment she learned of Jennifer’s death, she had lost her composure.
She even felt that her only goal of living was to take revenge.
As she was occupying someone else’s body, her life had been meaningless.
Eliza’s eyes slowly turned red with pain. She tried to hold back the tears in her eyes.
It was Chester’s first time seeing her in such a state. He felt as though a stone was thrown into his heart, creating layers of ripples.
He stretched out his hands, wanting to hug her.
However, Eliza retreated and pushed him away. “ Chester, thank you for hiding the issue for me yesterday, but the only feeling I have for you is gratitude. You sacrificed Freya to help me, so it’s impossible for me to feel touched.”
Chester fixed his cold gaze at her. “Eliza, why must you be so realistic?” “You’re the real one.”
Eliza stared calmly into his eyes. He was very good- looking and always exuded a brilliant aura, but she would never have feelings for him. She would not feel grateful for him either. “In fact, you could’ve settled the issue for me last night. Unfortunately, I reckoned you contemplated it and didn’t think it was worth risking to help me, so you dragged Freya into the mess. This way, you were able to help me and stay out of it at the same time. You and Rodney will remain good buddies, and you’ll get a good name for saving me. How wonderful.”
“Eliza, do you know what I like about you?” Her stare made Chester uncomfortable, considering that he was usually the one casting knowing gazes at other women.
Nevertheless, a woman saw through him today, which made him feel exasperated.
Chester reached out to pinch Eliza’s chin. “I like how smart and calm you are. However, these are also the qualities I hate about you. You’re right. I haven’t slept with you, so I don’t want you to die. Even so, I won’t have a falling-out with Rodney just because of you.”
