Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 133

Shela couldn’t stand Letitia with her delicate, dainty demeanor and her air of elegance, and she’d taken more than a few opportunities to mess with her. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

After getting to know Elgin, she got even bolder with him backing her up, giving Letitia a hard time again and again.

But look at her now! Shela never in a million years thought Letitia would end up on top!

There was no way she could swallow that kind of humiliation!

“Letitia, I’ll remember what you did today,” Shela muttered to herself with venom, “Just wait till I catch my break, I’ll make sure you pay for !!! You’ll be begging on your knees!”

She wiped her face with force, looking at the toilet and then hurling again.

Damn it, toilet water… she drank it all!

That low-down Letitia! She had to go to her father and brainstorm some revenge!

In the hospital room.

Letitia was about to close the door when Elgin held it open.

She pushed hard, trying to shut it, but he easily pushed back and strode in

“Why you always shadowing me? Letitia shot him a look. “Aren’t you supposed to be sweet-talking your Shela?”

“Why would I do that?”

“She’s your woman, your darling, your sweetheart, isn’t she?”

Elgin replied coolly, “No, she’s not. You are.”

Letitia was taken aback by his straightforward response, and didn’t quite know what to say.

Are all men so shameless? Sweet as honey when they’re in love, cold as ice when they’re not.

Letitia couldn’t help but sneer, “I remember how you used to be all over Shela, so attentive and caring. And look at how quickly things change.

“I never had feelings for Shela”

“Do you even believe that yourself?”

“It’s true.” Elgin stepped closer, locking eyes with her, “With her, it’s always been about obligation, even now.”

“Obligation? Letitia was puzzled.

“It’s a long story, but I’ll sort it out with her soon. It has nothing to do with love, just duty.”

“Is it because she saved you once, or helped you out, so… you’re repaying the favor?”

Letitia was guessing wildly, but to her surprise, Elgin nodded, “You could say that.”

She blinked, shocked she’d hit the nail on the head.

“So, marrying her, indulging her, it’s all because of this duty?”

Elgin simply hummed in confirmation.

Letitia looked into his eyes for a few seconds, then shifted her gaze, “Oh, what’s that got to do with me?”

“I need to make it clear, tell you the truth.”

At first, Elgin thought he liked Shela. But as time went by, and he got to know her true colors and personality, he realized she wasn’t his cup of tea.

Instead, the stubborn Letitia had, unknowingly, taken over his heart.

“Mer… Letitia sighed. “Changing hearts is just a moment’s work

Suddenly, she saw Shela as nothing more than a fool. Shela had thought that attaching herself to Elgin would guarantee her the status of his wife, but what had she accomplished? The minute Elgin declared he didn’t love her, she was left without a leg to stand on

Now Shela’s got nothing, and she can’t accept the fact, still hoping Elgin would change his mind

But in reality. Elgin had long pulled back, while Shela was sinking deeper, lost in a dream she didn’t want to wake from

Letitia lay back on the bed, picking up a book from the side, and began to read.

Acting as of Figin wasn’t even there, teave him just stand there on his own.

When had Elgin ever been left hanging like this? He was obviously peeved.

Don’t believe me?” he raised an eyebrow, “You’re one tough cookie to please.”

“Are you trying to sweet-talk me?”

“Yes, can’t you tell?”

Letitia was speechless.

“My patience has its limits. Elgin pulled up a chair and sat down by the bed, “Letitia, a woman’s gotta have come savvy

“Sorry, I’m the clueless type. Go sweet-talk someone else, I don’t need it”

His brows knit together, clearly displeased

Letitia flipped a page, trying to read on, but with Elgin staring at her, she just couldn’t calm down

“It’s funny,” she closed the book. “You claim you owe Shela, yet you’re ready to kick her to the curb and come sweet talk me Elgin, you and I, we’re nothing but enemies. Once your little crush fades, I’ll probably end up even worse off than Shela.”

Letitia wasn’t love struck, she was wide awake.

Elgin’s so-called love, how much it’s worth how fragile it might be, she understood it all.

If she naively fell for it and ran into his arms, that would be the start of her tragedy.

Moreover, Elgin took her child from her, she hated him, and could never forgive him!

He also believed her father was responsible for his father’s death!

That was an insurmountable misunderstanding between them!

Elgin watched her in silence, his gaze deep and vast as the cosmos.

Their eyes met.

She didn’t flinch, “Elgin, the one you’ve always loved isn’t someone else, not Shela, not even me, but… yourself” He loved himself the most; he was selfish

“Is that so?” His lips curled up suddenly, “Letitia, how should I prove to you that I love you?”

“Didn’t you say you were going to love me in your own way? Your first step was to take my child. The mention of this still unsettled Letitia, her heart still ached

Looking at Elgin, she still felt hatred.

“Yes, now I’m going to take the second step. Elgin said, “The second step is to prove my love for you.”

A bad feeling rose in Letitia’s heart.

Elgin was the devil How was he going to prove it?! Definitely not in a way she could comprehend!

A flicker of panic and fear shot through Letitia’s eyes.

“I don’t need your proof. she shook her head, “Because I hate you, I won’t love you, and I don’t need your lovel

“If I say you need it, then you need it Elgin stood up and slowly moved towards her.

With growing fear, Letitia braced her hands on the bed, backing away, “You Elgin, what are you doing! Stay away!”

In her panic, Letitia remembered the fruit knife she had hidden under her pillow

It was for self-defence, and… for dealing with Elgin Was it time to pull out that knife?

Just as Letitia was hesitating. Elgin stopped moving forward, his nose gently bumping against hers

Their breaths intertwined

“To prove whether you love someone… that’s about handing over your heart, Elgin said “Letitia, do you want my heart?”

Instinctively, she shook her head.

Elgin’s lips curled into a smile, “No, you want it.

The next second, he suddenly reached for her pillow, startling Letitia so much her heart skipped a best

wediately pressed down, “What.. what are you doing with the pillow!”
