His Dangerous Love

Chapter 27 Her Confession

Chapter 27 Her Confession

Asher failed to notice the difference.

He was simply annoyed that Elianna had caused him to search for so long.

Irritated by the wasted time, he snapped, "Even if you were changing clothes, you could have at least informed me. How could you disappear without a word?"

"Well, you must have been too busy flirting with your cousin Kenley. I didn't want to interrupt you," Elianna retorted.

Hearing this, Asher, initially skeptical, couldn't help but smirk. "How dare you compare yourself to Kenley?"

"Well, your eagerness made me think I can compare myself to her."

"Who said I was eager to find you! I..." Asher choked up.

He couldn't admit that he suspected her of being with Jeff on the bed. And that's why he urgently needed to confirm it with her.

"I don't care about you!" Asher exclaimed before abruptly ending the call.

Hearing that, Elianna let out a sigh of relief.

She intentionally provoked Asher, hoping he would ignore her and not notice anything unusual.

Elianna glanced resentfully at the true culprits, but she didn't dare to voice her frustration!

Jefferson took a drag from his cigarette while getting dressed, catching her gaze.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you want me to continue our love affair?"

Quickly averting her gaze, Elianna glanced at the clothes on the bed, growing increasingly annoyed.

Summoning her courage, she forced a smile and said, "Jefferson, you ruined my clothes. You need to compensate me!"

Jefferson lowered his cigarette, walking towards the edge of the bed, and leaned over to look at her.

His gaze traveled from her face downwards as he asked, "How should I compensate you?"

Under Jefferson's intense scrutiny, her bravado vanished in an instant.

Without the same confidence and momentum, Elianna muttered, "At the very least, help me find something else to wear."

Jefferson scoffed, "Scared, are you?"

He stood up and made a call.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Albert entered with his eyes closed, casually pushing the paper bag into the air.

"I didn't see anything!" he declared.

Jefferson, still seated like a king, made no effort to retrieve the bag.

This left Elianna, wrapped in a blanket and immobilized, to exclaim, "Just leave it there, thank you!"

The white dress that Albert brought was slightly different in style from her original one, but the length was similar enough.

Jefferson didn't pay much attention to these details. Presumably, Albert had carefully compared the clothes and made appropriate preparations.

No wonder Albert had been able to stay by Jefferson's side for so long.

How astute he was!

After putting on the clothes, Elianna stood in front of the mirror and tied up her hair.

The reflection revealed swollen eyelids and overly red lips. Her eyes and eyebrows emitted an irresistible allure.

What's worse, her legs trembled as soon as she stood for a while.

Even though she had begged Jefferson, he still made her so embarrassed.

Half an hour later, her entire body felt as if her bones had been crushed.

She returned her hair, and, as she composed herself, her emotions settled.

She glanced at Jefferson, intentionally avoiding direct eye contact. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Since she took the clothes, he had been staring at her without attempting to conceal it.

She could only ignore his gaze to finally change her attire.

After calming down, Elianna felt it necessary to tell the truth about the Gentry family.

She wanted to take advantage of this safe and sound situation to avoid his further torment.

"Well, everything I said was absolutely true. I totally had no idea that the Gentry family is seeking your help." Elianna confessed.

"Do you know what they wanted me to do?" Jefferson replied.

Elianna honestly shook her head, "I don't know."

Before Jefferson could respond, Elianna added, "And I don't want to know either."

Jefferson's eyes twitched, "With such timidity, how did you dare to tease and provoke me earlier?"
