......
After choosing a light and elegant dress, Carolien turned to the side and glanced at the busy figure by the bed. Seeing that the curtains were closed, she contemplated for a moment and decided not to go to the bathroom. She took advantage of the cover of the cabinet door to loosen her bathrobe.
Elijah, who was reading the news, inadvertently looked back and saw a flash of her beautiful, serpent-like figure. He withdrew his gaze and gritted his teeth.
She was such a cunning woman. Was she secretly a fox? Even while she was changing her clothes, she didn't forget to seduce him. Sooner or later, he would fall prey to her.
Clearly, he was still flighty and impatient. He suppressed his anger and frowned.
Was that the male instincts that people always spoke of? Was it because he had suppressed himself for too long? The moment he awoke his bodily instincts, he just couldn't stop. What right did she have to do that to him?
He had never liked women like her.
Suddenly, a gentle and kind figure appeared in his mind. She smiled subtly, which was as elegant as an orchid blooming in the empty valley. It was peaceful and quiet, but it made everything else look bland.
After Carolien changed her clothes, she walked to the bedside. The moment she opened her mouth to say something, she saw the cold atmosphere shrouding Elijah. His face was gloomy, and there seemed to be some sadness overflowing from it. Subconsciously, Carolien stopped.
Who had provoked him this time? Why was he in a bad mood all of a sudden?
She fiddled with her little hands and looked down at her clothes. Was there anything wrong with her clothes? She didn't want to dig her own grave at a time like this. She didn't want to die just yet.
The veins in Carolien's clenched fist throbbed. She held her breath and did not dare to move for a long time, let alone make any sounds in fear of disturbing him.
While immersed in thoughts of the past, Elijah seemed to have become a hollow shell. It wasn't until he heard the slight rumbling of a stomach that he abruptly came to his senses and looked for the source of the sound. He saw Carolien standing with her head down as she stroked her belly, with a pitiful look on her face. At that moment, her hair was tied up into a low ponytail, and her pale, dainty face was free of makeup. She was dressed in rather loose smart-casual clothes. Her style was simple, without any extra accessories. Her straight-cut jeans were decorated with lotus leaf patterns, and her gorgeous legs looked more straight and slender, which dispelled the enchanting charm of her body and made her look more fairy-like and pleasant. She was like a pretty flower, blooming silently.
The figure in front of him slowly overlapped with the image in his memory as he gradually got up. Elijah's line of sight visibly drifted away for two seconds.
At that point, Carolien lifted her eyelids and looked at him, then muttered, "Can we go now? I'm about to die of hunger.
Her soft voice seemed to have been squeezed out of her throat. It was incredibly quiet, so much so that Carolien was not sure if he had heard it or not.
How long was he going to be busy? She was positively starving.
While he was in a trance, another expression of anger flashed across his face. At the same time, someone's voice interrupted the sounds, sweetness, grievances, and faint blame of his dreams. In an instant, Elijah's thoughts once again drifted away, and he couldn't help but silently mutter something.
"Gra... cie..."
For a moment, Carolien did not hear him clearly. She tilted her head and looked up. She subconsciously frowned and eyed him. "Hello? What?"
What did he say?
With a shiver, Elijah was suddenly pulled back to reality, and his gaze subconsciously froze again.
