Chapter 21
Boom.
A fist hit the corner of Martin’s mouth hard.
Caught off guard. Martin took a punch.
Afraid of bumping against Elaine behind him, Martin reached out to hold on to the elevator wall.
Rage bubbled just below the surface of Elaine’s mind. She supported Martin and stared coldly at Anson.
“Anson, come at me.”
Under the light, Anson’s eyes were filled with anger.
Anson could always control his emotions, and it was unexpected for him to beat someone.
Anson also looked at Elaine coldly, and his hostility quickly spread through the elevator.
Elaine clenched her fists and frowned.
Anson said slowly, “That’s also what I want to say. Come at me!”
With that, he turned around and left.
The light fell on Anson. Elaine felt that his every step was heavy and detected an indescribable sense of loneliness from his back.
Her heart jolted.
Elaine suppressed all her emotions soon and turned to look at Martin. “It looks serious. Let’s go to the hospital.”
Martin held her hand. “Elena, Anson would do anything for Lamia. I am worried about you and the three children.”
Elaine wanted to pull her hand out, but Martin held it tightly.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Her heart thumped wildly, and panic overwhelmed her.
“Martin, I’ve told you I have become tough and cold. There’s no exaggeration that I am as hard as iron. Anson can’t hurt me.”
“Elena, can’t you even give me a chance to give up?”
Martin suddenly stepped forward, and his tall figure enveloped Elaine.
Elaine met his expectant gaze, feeling sad.
“Excuse me… Are you going up?”
A strange voice came into Martin’s ears. Elaine looked past Martin and hurriedly said, “We are going out.”
Martin looked grieved.
Elaine pulled him out of the elevator. She thought for a while and said, “I will think about it and give you the answer tomorrow.
“Really?”
Walking out of the apartment building, there were only dim street lights, but Martin’s eyes were as bright as stars in the sky.
Elaine nodded solemnly.
Martin hugged her excitedly. “Elena, I’m so happy.”
Elaine tensed up with mixed feelings.
“It’s getting late. You’d better go back. Remember to apply ice at the corner of your mouth.”
“Okay” Martin got into the car. “I’ll watch you go upstairs.”
“OK” Elaine smiled.
Walking into the elevator, Elaine leaned against the elevator wall as if all her strength had been drained.
Martin had done much for Elaine and the kids in the past five years. She should not let him down and repeatedly reject his love.
However, if she accepted him…
Elaine felt she was caught in a dilemma.
“Mommy, it’s so late. Would it be unsafe for Martin to drive back alone?”
As Elaine entered the apartment, Eddy asked like a grown-up.
Elaine’s mind was in turmoil. Hearing that, she became even more uneasy.
Anson was always calm and composed. However, he rushed back from another city to rescue Lamia five years ago.
To vent Lamia’s anger, Anson punched Martin.
She didn’t even have the slightest doubt whether Anson’s punch would have landed on her if Martin hadn’t been in the elevator at that time.
“Mommy, Mommy. Seeing Elaine’s eyes drifted somewhere, Eddy grabbed her hand and shook her arm.
Elaine came to her senses and looked at Eddy, who was worried, and said, “Stay at home obediently.”
“OK” Eddy nodded and thought, “I hope Mommy can get Martin back.
Elaine hurriedly went downstairs and saw Anson’s car speeding toward Martin’s car.
Her heart skipped a beat.
“Martin!”
Boom.
The moment Martin’s car was hit, his body moved forward.
When Anson saw Elaine running over in the rearview mirror, a title of rage surged through him.
He hoped he could kill Martin.
Elaine ran over, and her eyes were cold. She knocked on the car window.
Anson didn’t lower the car window but stared coldly at Elaine’s angry face through the window.
Was she so worried after Martin was hit?
“Anson, get the **k out of the car.”
Anger simmered inside her, and Elaine couldn’t help but swear.
Anson started the car, and the car moved back. Then, like a gust of wind, it passed her and drove forward at high speed. When Anson passed by Martin, killing intent surged in his eyes.
Elaine felt scared until Martin came to her and held her hand.
Warmth rushed through her fingertips to the depths of her heart
She turned to look at Martin.
His hands were always warm.
Unfortunately, such warmth still couldn’t dispel the coldness and fear in her mind at that moment.
She saw clearly that Anson wanted to kill Martin.
“Martin
Elaine had always controlled her emotions and kept a proper distance from Martin, However, at that moment, everything collapsed.
Martin smiled at her.
He was punched by Anson at the corner of his mouth. When he smiled, the wound was painful, so he couldn’t help but gasp.
I am fine.
Elaine looked into his eyes without blinking. She choked out, “I accept you.”
The world was quiet.
Martin could hear his own heartbeat.
A second passed.
Two seconds passed.
Five seconds passed.
Martin looked at Elaine excitedly. “Elena, what did you say?! Can you repeat it?”
It had been five years.
Martin had been by Elaine’s side for five years and hoped she could respond to his sincerity.
Even if she couldn’t. he hoped she could give him a chance to love her wholeheartedly.
The chance finally arrived.
Martin was full of expansive joy.
“Elena, I’ve finally got the chance. Martin hugged Elaine tightly.
Anson, who went back, saw Martin and Elaine hugging each other. He clenched his hands on the steering wheel.
Milo, who was in the back seat, shuddered, feeling shocked.
Anson’s eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator hard.
