CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 781

The thought of Suzy and Elliot sharing the most intimate connection sent sharp pangs through Dylan’s heart.

Making this decision took every ounce of his strength.

After all, no man would willingly hand over the woman he loved to someone else.

If he had any other choice—if he could still stay by her side—he would never have allowed this to happen.

The pain was unbearable as if it was tearing him apart from the inside.

"Suzy, when I'm gone, promise me you'll find happiness with Elliot."

…

Suzy hadn’t used her body to detox Elliot.

The reason she had sent Allen away was because there were things she needed to say to Elliot in private.

She walked up to him, her gaze steady and unwavering.

“Elliot, if you weren’t my apprentice, your life or death would mean nothing to me. But you are my apprentice, and that means I can’t just stand by and let you die.

“But…” Her expression hardened.

“Even if I have to save you, it won’t be in the way you’re hoping for.”

“Mentor…” Elliot frowned.

“Are you just like Allen? Do you think I’m deliberately forcing you into this?”

Suzy let out a cold laugh.

“Aren’t you? Elliot, you’re my apprentice. We haven’t been together for long, but I know you far better than you think.

“And honestly? Allen wasn’t wrong. You’re using the fact that I have to care about you to push me into a corner, knowing full well I won’t just let you die.”

“I wasn’t—”

The smirk on Suzy’s lips deepened. “Oh, really? You know better than anyone whether that’s true.

“And here’s another thing Allen said that I do agree with—if you don’t even care about your own life, why should I?”

Her tone sharpened. “If you really want to die, just say the word. I won’t stop you.”

Elliot hadn’t expected Suzy to say something like that.
