Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1971

......

Why was he so agitated? What was he angry about?

How could another woman disturb his mind? She was not Gracie!

No way!

It was impossible for him to fall in love with another woman and it was someone that he would never like from the bottom of his heart!

Forget her!

He must forget this woman!

In the study room, Elijah felt like exploding from frustration. Outside, Carolien curled up in one spot. For some reason, her head was actually empty, but her feet seemed to be tied down to the ground, and she could not lift her steps at all.

The night gradually deepened, dark and gloomy, engulfing the light into a boundless silence.

...

The next day, Elijah woke up on the couch in the study room. As dawn approached, he got up. His entire body was sore and his breath was filled with the pungent smell of smoke. His body ached everywhere.

Getting up and stretching his body, he took a shower and changed his clothes.

Originally, he wanted to go back to sleep, but because he washed away his drowsiness, he picked up his cell phone and scrolled through the messages. However, his eyes unconsciously lingered on someone's name for a few seconds before his face turned gloomy again.

Picking up the car key by his side, he knocked the side of his head and said, "Stop this..."

He should go to work!

Sure enough, only his work was reliable! Only work could bring him passion and a sense of accomplishment! As he thought so, he opened the door. When he went out, he didn't notice that his whole body was stooped, decadent, with no fighting spirit at all!

Elijah didn't remember what he had eaten for breakfast. He walked out of the door in a trance and looked around. A shadow in the corner came into his sight suddenly. Suddenly, he straightened up.

"Stop the car! Stop the car!"

He rolled down the window, and the next second, he opened the door and ran down.

On one side of the door by the doorframe, a curled-up figure entered his sight. Seeing her pale face, he felt angry.

She did not leave?

He nudged her lightly with his foot. "Hey! Are you stupid?"

What was she doing at the door? He was about to leave!

"Mmm..."

Carolien replied without raising her head. She tightened her arms around her knees a little bit. She shrank her body and curled up even more. Her body was up against the wall.

She was still wearing the clothes from last night. Because it was a long dress, her legs were covered by her dress, only revealing a pair of black high heels. Her hair tumbled down her shoulders like a quilt over her whole body. She was curled up like a shrimp and she looked pitiful. "Carolien!"

This woman was deliberately making him feel distressed! She stayed at the door and didn't shout or even call him!

D*mn it!

He gritted his teeth and wanted to let her be, but he couldn't walk away from her. Finally, he turned back, squatted down and grabbed her arm.

"Who allowed you to sit here?"

Her skin felt icy cold under his palm. In an instant, his heart trembled. Elijah was stunned. Why was she so cold?

The next second, he realized that Carolien's eyes were still closed. She seemed to be trapped in a dream as she pulled back her hand from him forcefully. Then, she turned around and shrunk back into a ball. She hid her face while protecting herself, her body facing the wall, leaving only her back to the outside world.

"No, I didn't! I didn't..."

Carolien muttered subconciously. Before Elijah could react, he heard banging sounds. He looked at her and saw that she was banging her head against the wall, which scared him.

"What are you doing?"

Squatting down again, Elijah grabbed her head. It was obvious that she was struggling. Then, she pushed his hand away as if she didn't see him. She held her small head and started banging again.

"Go away! Don't touch me!"

Only then did he notice that there were some red marks on the other side of her forehead, as well as rubbing marks on her hands. They were dark red and some had been scabbed.

"I'm not sleeping! I'm not..."

Did she use this method to keep herself awake?

"Carolien?"

When he shouted again, Elijah touched her face again, but she was so hot that he suddenly withdrew his hand. He was shocked and quickly hugged her. "Carolien, wake up, wake up!"

"Humm hmm."

This time, he felt her hot breath on his hand. Carolien couldn't even open her eyes. Elijah carried her, only to find that she only wore a thin dress with nothing in her hands. Suddenly, he regretted everything.

How could she be so stupid! Did she just sleep at the door for a night?

Why did she do that?

Did she want to die?

At this point, a servant walked out. "Young Master?"

"Did you not notice that there was a living person at the door? Go and find Miss Jones's cell phone and handbag to see who took it!" Elijah roared angrily, while the servant was still confused.

"Miss Jones didn't bring her handbag or mobile phone yesterday. The taxi fee was paid by the housekeeper..."
