Chapter 1595 Had Ms. Campbell Gotten Her Wish?
Sally glanced at the prayer beads coiled around his wrist and smiled sheepishly.
It was pretty common for a monk to leave the monastery.
Sally thought Elijah had not left the monastery because of that CPR incident. He was saving a life!
Prioritizing one's life was the most important!
The divine powers wouldn't have held it against him. Elijah couldn't have left the monastery due to that. The temptations of the mortal world were strong. It wasn't solely about the CPR incident!
"Oh, I see. By the way, I think I have something to attend to in my room. Goodbye!"
Sally waved her hand. She swiftly went off as fast as the wind.
Sally had made a reservation for a month-long cruise. The trip involved sailing for approximately one month on the open sea.
She managed to hide for two days. And, as inevitable as fate, she re-encountered Elijah.
At first, they chatted casually, but Sally didn't realize how insightful Elijah was. He didn't talk much, yet he hit the mark with what he said every time he spoke.
They became even more familiar after spending half a month together. Sally couldn't hide her curiosity and finally asked about her confusion when they met again, "Elijah, when did you leave the monastery? And why?"
Elijah glanced at her. "It's been a long time, about ten years? I returned because worldly desires swayed me," He spoke calmly. It seemed like his engagement in worldly desires had no connection to Sally.
"You grew up in a church from a young age and were swayed by worldly desires, either? The woman must have been exceptional," Sally asked after hearing his explanation.
Elijah gazed at her, "She was exceptional in my eyes, captivating enough for me to abandon my monastic path and compete against my nephew. Unfortunately, her heart belonged to someone else. She couldn't accept my marriage proposal."
There was a noticeable hint of aggression in his tone.
Sally was baffled. "Um... Elijah, I'm a straightforward person with a one-track mind. My brain doesn't work too fast, so I'll ask you bluntly. The person you're talking about isn't me, is it?" Sally chuckled awkwardly.
Elijah nodded very calmly. He replied, "It's you."

The readers' comments on the novel: My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
I am at Chapter 550 and there are almost 2 stories in 1. Aron and Evie's story could very well have been made into another story. Such a waste of time because I am reading for Byron and Athena, not Evie and Aron...
Is there no new updates after this one?...
