After hearing her reply, Victor fell into a trance. She still laughed, and her smile was dazzling in front of him.
After a sneer, he stood up from the sofa, hit Kemp's shoulder away and grabbed her wrist.
However, she pushed away his hand without hesitation. Previously, it was Victor who usually did so. Elinor can't be so presumptuous before.
Victor stared at his hand that was shaken off by her for a few seconds, and then he came to his senses and became furious. "Elinor Borris—"
The moment Elinor looked at him silently, he froze.
He had never seen such complex and cold emotions in her eyes, more exactly, never in the eyes of the previous girl.
Obviously, she still feared him, but she squared her shoulders and said fiercely, like harboring resentment. "You can't control me now."
She has been reborn, and was no longer the timid girl in memory.
His heart jolted. After he came to his senses, he was more indifferent than before. "It's meaningless for you to pretend to be so, Elinor."
She laughed, her eyes rimmed red. The world was so small that the old lovers usually met each other, while she had no preparation for that.
Now that she can't win, she would admit her defeat in the relationship.
Shivering, she held Kemp who was gnashing the teeth. She shook her head and looked at Victor. "Now that you said so, I decided to give up pretending to be so. You don't have to be hypocritical to me. We'll leave first."
