My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2890

Chapter 2890

Helpless and moved, Patricia massaged her temples and said, "Ellar, you really don't need to waste your time on me. With your qualities, getting yourself a girlfriend should be a piece of cake."

"But you're the only person I want to be with. If I can't be with you, I'd rather remain single forever!" Ellar stated firmly, his eyes burning with passion and unyielding persistence.

Unable to meet Ellar's gaze, Patricia blinked and looked away from him.

She had taken care of him at BayCorp for some time now, connoting that she was not completely indifferent to Ellar. However, she also understood that certain things in life were destined to be impossible, with the prospect of getting together with Ellar being one of them, so she dared not lead him on and give him any hope.

Gritting her teeth, Patricia continued to feign indifference." That's your business. It has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, she picked another file up and ignored Ellar.

Ellar looked at Patricia, his eyes wet and heavy in disappointment.

At this rate, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Alright then. I won't get in the way of your work. I'll come over to see you again after six."

Patricia's lips began twitching fiercely, but as she was determined not to dignify his words with a response of her own, she remained silent and continued to ignore him.

'Can't he see that I'm deliberately keeping my distance from him? Yet, he still had the gall to say he will come over to pick me up after work. What a pain in the rear!' she fumed.

Ellar walked away, turning back every time he took a step, and once he was out of the door, Patricia finally breathed a sigh of relief. 'Whatever the case is, at least he is gone for now.'

Shaking her head, Patricia returned to the tasks at hand..

As dusk fell, Nicole and Jared returned to the Riddle residence.

A look of puzzlement crossed Nicole's face the moment she saw a bunch of construction workers leaving, prompting her to ask, "Mom, what are they doing?"

"The renovation is in order. We're preparing Stanley's room so that it'll be fit for two." Gloria replied, telling Nicole that everything that had been happening was a matter of course.
