"Rose, come back with me," Elliot said, ignoring Valentin and focusing solely on Rose.
Leah upstairs wanted to rush down but was stopped by Sean. She looked at her brother shaking his head and reluctantly held back.
"I'm not going back. Elliot, is this why you came to find me?" Rose glanced at the man who was staring at her darkly before turning to Valentin. "You should step aside for now. This has nothing to do with you. Can you please go check on the kids?"
After all, they were living in Valentin's house and had asked so much of Valentin during their stay that Rose felt a little embarrassed. But her situation with Elliot had nothing to do with anyone else, and she didn't want innocent people getting involved.
This was something she needed to resolve with Elliot alone.
"But..." Valentin hesitated before looking worriedly at Rose. In the end, he left after receiving reassurance from her eyes, leaving them both some space. Sean and Leah were also brought into the room by Valentin as they went upstairs.
There was a momentary silence in the living room.
Just as Rose was about to say something, everything went blurry before she felt a tight grip around her wrist again - it was Elliot pulling her out of there without saying a word.
"Elliot! I just want us to talk! I never agreed on going back with you; let go!"
But this time around, no matter how hard she tried or struggled against him - she couldn't break free from his hold.
They walked out of the villa quickly while Rose stumbled behind him half-step behind him - feeling pain shoot up through her wrist.
She could feel that he moved his hand slightly. When they almost made it outside, she quickly cried out, "Ouch! That hurts!"
Elliot paused mid-stride and turned around.
Rose immediately pretended like one foot twisted awkwardly, causing herself to stumble two steps sideways, only for Elliott to catch hold of her firmly. "What happened?" He stopped walking.
"My foot twisted! Elliott, let go please! It hurts..."
"We need to get you checked out at the hospital." He furrowed his eyebrows slightly while carrying Rose horizontally towards outside, "The doctor needs to examine your injury properly."
Rose thought, 'Shouldn't he carry me back to reduce swelling? Why wasn't he doing what everyone else would have done?'
When Rose sat in the car, she finally snapped out of her thoughts. She struggled to get out of the car, but she was too slow and watched helplessly as Elliot closed the door in front of her. Panic set in as she shouted, "Elliot, Elliot, open the door! I don't want to go with you!"
Elliot remained silent and was about to hit the gas when he suddenly tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Rose had grabbed his hand tightly and tried to stop him from leaving.
Her voice was firm but muffled with a hint of determination and a touch of desperation. "I said I don't want to go with you. If your son is sick and hospitalized, then you shouldn't have come looking for me."
"Elliot, do you want me dead?"
The question sounded light-hearted but it struck Elliot's heart hard. The sound of his sports car engine disappeared suddenly while his foot trembled slightly on the accelerator pedal. He couldn't believe what he just heard.
"What... what did you say?"
Then Elliot grabbed Rose's shoulder angrily so that they were facing each other eye-to-eye; he could see all her emotions clearly.
Rose had intended to argue back
fiercely at first but seeing how angry
Elliot looked made her hesitate for a
moment before finally speaking
softly, "I don't want to return to your
villa." She avoided eye contact while biting her lip nervously before continuing, "Leah told me what happened today. It was Leah's fault. She shouldn't have taken your son along."
Elliot almost lost his breath after hearing this news; everything seemed blurry in his mind now as but his eyes stared intently at Rose's face.
"I know Shawn has a weak heart that needs rest," continued Rose calmly while taking deep breaths trying not lose control over herself again. "I'm sorry about what happened today Leah didn't mean any harm by it." Then she added cautiously, "But if we keep living together like this without getting divorced.or separated officially, what willOwned by NôvelDrama.Org.
happen between Madeleine and her
son?"
Rose took another deep breath before finishing off slowly yet firmly, "I never wanted anything between us anymore... you know that I hate fighting over things that aren't mine because if something doesn't belong to me, then it never will be mine no matter how much effort or time I put into it." "Elliot," continued Rose after pausing briefly, "We've missed our chance five years ago... we can never go back there again... do you understand?" Rose had barely finished speaking when he growled in response, "I don't understand!" His eyes grew even redder, and from this close distance, she could see the bloodshot veins in his eyes. The dark pupils only reflected Rose's image.
"I don't understand," he spoke. "Don't think about all that nonsense, Rose. Divorce is impossible for you. Give up on that idea now. And also..."
"I'm not what you think with Madeleine."
She thought he was going to threaten her again but hearing the last sentence made her heart skip a beat and her pupils shrink. She urgently asked with some nervousness, "Then what is it?"
Rose looked at him with a hint of anticipation and nervousness.
There was silence in the car for a long time.
She didn't ask any further questions but observed the man's expression instead. However, she found his emotions too complicated to read at once. Elliot pursed his lips tightly together while lowering his eyelashes to cover up the emotional turmoil swirling inside of him.
Finally, he said nothing more as he unlocked the door lock under Rose's increasingly disappointed gaze before saying calmly, "Take some time to calm down tonight first. I'll come pick you up tomorrow along with Leah and have Leah apologize to Shawn at the hospital."
The last bit of hope disappeared
completely from Rose as she heard Elliot telling their child to apologize her face turned cold as ice as she gave Elliot one final deep look before getting out of the car briskly while saying, "I'll go apologize to Shawn myself; I'll take care of it myself without involving Leah."
Elliot didn't say anything else. After seeing Rose get off and enter the villa complex, he drove off quickly.
Upon Rose's return, Sean and Leah breathed a sigh of relief and ran towards her to comfort her. Their chattering caused pain within her head, however this also brought warmth into her heart gradually making her relax again.
