Chapter 1605 Bad End
"Some sort of power?" Elijah burst into laughter and then placed his large hand on Sally's forehead. "Darling, did I forget to explain this to you? I'm not a monk, and I don't have superpowers."
Elijah's smile was particularly charming.
In the past, Sally wouldn't have been attracted by someone like Elijah.
She used to prefer Gideon's striking and handsome features.
But after all that happened, she felt that she had been naive.
There was a unique allure in Elijah's average looks.
She got to admire the stark contrast to his usual demeanor when he was lusting after her.
His occasional smile was attractive, drawing her in.
In short, even though she might not have romantic feelings toward Elijah, she was deeply drawn to him.
"We can talk about that superpower later. Elijah, give me a kiss."
Elijah hesitated for a moment, then almost instinctively complied. He kissed Sally on the lips and then asked, "Why did you suddenly want a kiss?"
He wasn't quite familiar with how things worked in that aspect.
Thus, he needed to ask more to understand when his wife wanted a kiss.
"Because you're super cute." Sally pinched Elijah's cheek. "Speaking of superpowers, since you don't have them, why did Gideon cough up blood? Is he trying to set us up?"
"He burst a blood vessel somewhere, perhaps." Elijah grabbed Sally's hand. "After all, you were already mine when he just realized how good you are."
"Don't be so smug!" Sally patted the back of his hand. "Take this as a warning. I've liked him for over a decade but decided to ditch him in the end since he is neither good nor obedient. I won't feel sorry for him even though he seemed so greatly affected by my departure. So, if you don't behave..."
Before Sally could finish, Elijah kissed her lips again, interrupting her warning, and said, "I will be good. I will always behave."

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?...
