Chapter 2910
Deep down, Ellar was stewing in bitterness and despondency.
He gritted his teeth, looked at Charlie, and said, "You better treat her well. Or else, I swear I won't let you go."
After Ellar had spoken his last, he spun around and stormed out of the room.
He couldn't figure out what Charlie had that he didn't, and most of all, he couldn't understand why Patricia wouldn't give him a chance, even when she wasn't dating anyone. But since Patricia had made up her mind, Ellar knew he couldn't change it. All he could do was respect her decision and quietly watch over her from a distance. If Charlie ever treated Patricia badly, Ellar was ready to step in and help her.
"Hey, what did you just say-" Charlie began, but before he could complete his sentence, Patricia had stopped him.
"It's fine," she said.
Charlie looked at Patricia with his brows raised, and after a moment of contemplation, he widened his eyes in surprise and asked, "Are you for real?"
Patricia avoided his gaze, after which she firmly replied," This is how it's supposed to be."
Both she and Ellar were fated to be from two different worlds. As such, it would be better for them to maintain
their distance and keep the spark from igniting a flame they would likely reduce their hearts to ashes.
"Actually, I think you should leave too," Charlie told Patricia as he looked her in the eye.
Charlie was the one who had reminded Patricia to keep a distance from Ellar from the very beginning. Although he felt that he would not be a match for her, it was not because of his status. In fact, the entire reason as to why he disapproved of them getting together was that he thought their personalities were not compatible.
As weeks passed, however, Ellar's persistence and dedication to Patricia had only proved Charlie wrong. Thus, Charlie would take a step back and allow them to have their way if his sister did indeed have feelings for Ellar.
Patricia shook her head. "No. I won't leave."
The act of leaving the organization was not without its complexities, for Charlie would still be there, connoting that his life would always be in danger. Just the mere thought of it was enough to make Patricia shiver. Therefore, she was determined to remain in the organization with her brother to the very end.
