Chapter 200 Try to Accept Me Again Okay?

Every time he saw her with Quentin, even from a distance, the jealousy burned him alive.

“First? How many conditions are there?” Liana asked, suspicious, not ready to agree.

“Second.” Elian plowed on, ignoring her, “live with The for a while. He feels safe with you.”

He had a bunch of conditions. Possessive as hell, he wished he could build her a gilded cage and lock her inside—with him holding the only key.

As long as he never opened that door, she would stay there forever.

He wanted her, all to himself.

Oblivious to his twisted thoughts, but softening at the mention of Theo, Liana nodded. “Okay.”

Third…

There’s a third:”

Liana’s face fell. She could stomach the first two-but was he never going to stop?

“Last one. You said you wanted to wander around Kaelick this Saturday. I’m coming with you.”

Elian said it like it was decided.

“What’s there to wander around with you?”

She shot him a glare, then dropped her eyes-only to land on his bare chest. She looked away fast, a hot flush creeping up her neck.

It felt wrong to stare, even if they were still married.

And…

She hesitated, thinking of his third demand. “I won’t go to Kaelwick this Saturday. Can we stick to two conditions? I’ll spend extra time with Theo instead.”

“Consider it a favor you owe me. Deal?” He caved, reliced she was willing to negotiate.

“Fine,” Liana agreed.

Elian let out a small breath of relief-but he didn’t let go of her hand. “Liana.”

“What now?”

She eyed him warily, braced for more demands.

“Try to accept me again, okay?”

He couldn’t let it go. He brought up their relationship.

“We’re done.”

On this, she wouldn’t budge.

Chapter 200 Try to Accept Me Again, Okay?

She suddenly couldn’t meet his eyes.

If Theo grows up and learns we divorced because of him, he’ll blame himself. Do you want him, once he’s old enough to understand, to live forever crushed byhat guilt-that he tore us apart?”

Elban’s voice softened, all patience now, as he countered.

A sharp pulse throbbed at Liana’s temple. She shot back immediately. “How is our divorce because of Them

ONE ! I hid him from you when we married-that’s why you lost trust in me. Isn’t that the reason?’ He pressed, desperante.

Liana finally realized he’d always thought that was the problem.

“Regardless you can make a child pay for our failed marriage,” she said, refusing to be sidetracked.

“What would it take to give me one more chance?”

He searched her face. hungry for the smallest sign of oftening.

But her expression stayed coil.

Too many painful unforgivable things had happened between them lately-none of them pointed to a second chance.

Liana decided it was time to stop poing around the truth.

She lifted his injured hand, her heart twining painfully.

She wasn’t sure if it was for his wound… or for herself

Watching her gentle touch, seeing her downcast eyes be murmured. “Does it hurt you? Seeing this?”

Liana let out a bitter laugh, her fingers brushing the ege of the scar lightly.

He’d wanted this-ever since he’d gotten hurt, he’d aced to find her, to show her this wound and make her

hurt for him.

Once, he’d cut his finger cooking, and she’d stood beside him, eyes ned-dimmed with worry, blowing softly on the cut to soothe the sting.

He got lost in the memory-of a time when they were happy, when her beam and eyes were only for him. when she’d treated him like something precious.

But Liana wasn’t living in the past anymore.

“From the very start, the first person you believed and protected was Anya. Remember that kidnapping?” Her voice was low, quiet.

Elian’s eyes dimmed. He tried to explain, “She was bleeding from the chest. The was med up right next to

her.”
