Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 1141

Chapter 1141 Intimacy (2)

As the even rhythm of breathing emanated from the figure in his arms, Elliot slowly opened his eyes. He had been feigning slumber. He gazed at the peacefully sleeping Rose.

Gradually, a sense of contentment and pleasure spread from deep within him, softening his handsome features.

He lowered his head and gently kissed the woman before once again drifting into a deep slumber, holding her close.

At the international airport in town, Lawrence waited at Entry 5 for half an hour. The delayed flight finally arrived and finally, a small figure emerged from the plane.

"Daddy Lawrence!" Khalil spotted Lawrence and waved excitedly.

"Khalil." Lawrence smiled and took Khalil's luggage before leading him out of the airport. Though Khalil tried to act calm and collected, excitement shone on his face as he asked about seeing his mother and siblings.

Lawrence explained that they didn't know he was back yet but promised to contact them later. Khalil hesitated before deciding against it - he didn't want Elliot finding out about their plans just yet.

As they drove away from the airport, Khalil asked about Harper Group's progress with their collaboration project. He was worried since Elliot had found a loophole in their contract that allowed him to pay rent monthly instead of upfront like originally agreed upon.

Lawrence and Elliot had talked a few times but Elliot refused to pay up immediately, so the land still belonged to RH and Elliot had only paid 20 million for it.

Khalil didn't know if Elliot had found out something, so he had someone investigate within Harper Group but they found nothing.

Elliot's motives were unclear. He missed his mom, Sean, and Leah back home after preparing everything abroad. So he returned home without hesitation.

"He didn't pay in full. Elliot wired a sum half a month ago for only ten million," Lawrence frowned slightly as he tried to figure out what this move meant for Elliot.

"Khalil, did you find anything? Elliot is very cunning and smart. Could he have caught wind of something that made him aware of the land deal?"

Khalil thought carefully before denying the possibility. "No way! I kept things under wraps even from foreign companies who competed with us fiercely. How could Elliot know about it while staying at home? He's just too cautious."

"Daddy Lawrence, talk to him again later when you get the chance. If that doesn't work out, we can always break off our cooperation with him and release a list of foreign companies we plan on working with to pressure him into action since our contract states that we won't be at a disadvantage."

Lawrence nodded his head helplessly as he glanced at the little boy sitting in the backseat. "Khalil, how old are you again? You know more than I do! You're such a genius!"

Suddenly praised by Lawrence like this made Khalil's young face turn red as he felt embarrassed and remained silent.
