Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 1143

Chapter 1143 Intimacy (4)

"I didn't expect this," Khalil quickly regained his composure, his face full of seriousness.

"Khalil, why don't we have that fake 'CEO' who appeared last time show up again? After all, Elliot has already met him," Lawrence suggested with a slight frown.

However, Khalil had an intuition that Elliot might have obtained some information about the land and the RH CEO...

Where did things go wrong?

"Daddy Lawrence, not for now. We still have half a month left. Since he found a loophole in the contract, we can find one too. Let me think about how to deal with him..."

But sometimes it was by chance that what troubled someone was resolved in an unexpected manner.

At night when Rose was lying on her bed, she couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning as she thought about Elliot's recent actions and the words he spoke.

The more she thought about it, the more restless she became until she didn't know which way to go next.

If she said yes to Elliot...

As soon as this thought came up, there was suddenly a light sound of someone twisting the doorknob coming from outside her bedroom door.

Rose froze and didn't know what to do at that moment so immediately closed her eyes pretending to be asleep.

She nervously pinched her palms together, feeling sweat forming on them as she heard slow footsteps getting closer until they were right beside her earlobe.

It seemed like the man stopped at bedside. Rose could feel his scorching gaze enveloping her whole body even though her eyes were closed tight shut pretending to be asleep.

She remained motionless while feeling increasingly anxious until hearing another movement followed by footsteps taking several steps away from where he stood before clearly sensing someone sitting down on top of bed beside hers then smelling familiar warmth emanating from him before realizing there was another hand around waist pulling herself close into his embrace tightly

Rose felt stiff all over allowing him to gently turn herself over and hug herself tightly within his arms.

She never expected Elliot would come running into her room in such late hours, let alone sleeping beside herself and holding herself so intimately

What kind of strange behavior is this?

Rose continued playing dead without moving at all.

The man's breathing was shallow, right above her head. She could even feel the slight movement of Elliot's chin tapping against her scalp. As time passed, Rose began to sweat and her heart raced like thunder, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.

She didn't know how long it had been, but just as she was about to give up and move her body quietly, a voice came from above her head. It was a low chuckle with a husky tone, "Are you still pretending to be asleep?"

Rose was dumbfounded.

Was he doing it on purpose?

Elliot was actually doing it on purpose!
