Chapter 43 Are You Missing Me

Chapter 43 Are You Missing Me

Elianna's tense heart quickly calmed, and her tone differed from the usual eagerness.

"You didn't leave!"

Jefferson smiled softly as his eyes ran over her delighted face. "You missed me?"

"Oh, you said we weren't suitable to continue, so why would you miss me?"

He only said a few words, and Elianna swallowed her words.

"Jefferson, don't make fun of me, it was me who didn't know how to appreciate you before," she muttered.

Jefferson snatched a cigarette from the case and popped it into his mouth. "Do you know now?"

Elianna approached him and snatched the lighter from Jefferson's grasp. She lighted his cigarette while standing a step lower than him.

Her stance and warm gaze were geared at pleasing him.

"I was too worried before, but these days I realize that being able to accompany you is a blessing. I shouldn't have tantrums just because I'm worried."

Jefferson was pleased as he saw her transmute her rejection at Eclipse into a little girl's crush.

He moved in closer, lifting Elianna's chin.

"You don't think that by saying a few nice words, I'll want you again?"

Elianna's smile froze. She paused for a while, then said hoarsely, "Jefferson, it's me who wants you."

Her fingertips delicately brushed over his wrist as she peered up at him.

Her glance had changed from anxious to charming.

And he had personally encouraged this change.

He squeezed her fingers even tighter. "You want me? Sure."

His smooth, low voice surrounded her earlobe. "Go inside and tell everyone that you want to be with me."

"Tell everyone?"

"Of course, everyone."

Elianna choked up.

She knew she couldn't walk away once she said that.

She smiled stiffly. "Wouldn't that be too ostentatious?"

"How can you prove your sincerity if it isn't ostentatious?"

Elianna couldn't keep a smile on her face.

Jefferson, on the other hand, was in a good mood. He wanted to smoke, but the cigarette in his hand was half-burned.

He tossed it to the ground and extinguished it casually.

"I..."

"You have ten seconds to think about it."

Jefferson cut her off before she could finish her sentence.

Jefferson tapped his watch after a brief silence.

"Time's up."

Elianna only said something once his figure vanished.

Jefferson made this impossible demand on purpose, evidently attempting to deceive her.

How could someone like him accept a woman who had broken off connections with him and came back knocking on his door?

Upon returning to the room, the atmosphere had changed.

Alicia sat in Jefferson's seat, coldly staring at Nola.

Elianna frowned and was about to go over when someone grabbed her arm.

Brett lowered his voice in warning, "Don't go. Alicia wants to teach her a lesson today, if you go over, you'll only suffer."

Elianna avoided his overly close face and asked, "What's going on with Nola?"

Brett stared at Nola's pitiful demeanor and licked his lips.

"She brought it upon herself by trying to seduce Jefferson."

Elianna realized what was happening when she saw Alicia's face filled with jealousy and contempt.

Alicia liked Jefferson.

Given the circumstances, she believed it would be more accurate to say Alicia loved him. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

No matter how haughty a woman was, she became humble in the presence of the person she loved.

Her jealousy made her go after Nola.

Nola had been treated this way just because she had exchanged a few words with Jefferson. If Alicia discovered that she had slept with Jefferson more than once, she would most likely kill her.

Elianna was fatigued both physically and mentally. Why was it so difficult to survive?
