"No! No! Gracie!"
"Eh?"
Seeing his tightly furrowed brows, Carolien was just about to wake him up when Elijah suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were wide open and an obvious chill ran down his back.
Subconsciously, she raised her hand to touch his forehead. Carolien's figure swayed in front of him. "What's wrong with you?"
When he came back to his senses, Elijah's body stiffened once again. He instinctively wiped his face and felt a bit guilty: "N-no! Did I say anything?"
For some reason, he was entangled in the same nightmare. Unconsciously, a sense of fear and a bad premonition welled up in his heart. He looked at Carolien and his heart was still beating fast.
Why did he fall into a dream after just closing his eyes? Did he say anything strange?
It was all because her hugs were too comforting!
In fact, she heard it very clearly. However, seeing that he did not look very good, Carolien was not sure if she had misheard him. She just wondered why he suddenly called her name.
Because in Carolien's mind, this was the secret between them. Only when they were in bed would he call her by that name. When she heard him saying that, she thought of when they were in bed and felt shy. In addition, she was afraid that he would make a mistake and then accuse her of seducing him, so she naturally suppressed the suspicion in her heart. So, she just smiled and shook her head.
"No! You were restless. I thought you were scared by something!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that she had made a big fuss. He was so influential so what was he scared of? Moreover, she knew that the Luther family had recently secured a great deal and was in the limelight! Although they did not name him, the fact that Triumphoods Group was one of the sponsors was clear.
Therefore, Caorlien's first thought was that it should not be about business!
In terms of private affairs, she didn't think it was a big deal. After all, every bad event was already solved! However, one day, when she knew the true meaning of the word "Gracie", one could imagine how disgusted she would be.
Without thinking too much, Carolien said, "The food is cold! Are you hungry? I'll find someone to heat it for you!"
After resting for a while, Elijah finally nodded his head.
As he rubbed her soft hands, an obvious sense of relief flashed across his heart. Only then did he reluctantly let go of her. No, he had to resolve it as soon as possible! Or else, he was afraid...
He looked at her. The moment Carolien got up, he grabbed her hand a little roughly. She looked at him.
"Eh? What's wrong?"
All of a sudden, he came back to his senses and relaxed. "I can't bear to part with you."
Carolien was stunned. She blushed and said, "Stop joking!"
She snorted, and her heart swelled with happiness. She bent down and was about to serve the dishes. At this time, a soft cry suddenly came from behind her.
"Carolien—"
"Uh?"
"...There are some things that I want to tell you!" Perhaps it was because he realized something, but suddenly, he had an idea of telling her about his past with Gracie. However, when he opened his mouth, he hesitated.
"What is it?"
While speaking, Carolien stood up straight.
But what should he say about this matter? Could he just speak of the past without a name? Would it cause unnecessary problems? Would she ask more questions and overthink? Would she investigate further? Would it be related to Kim Mi-chi?
Suddenly, countless thoughts flashed through Elijah's mind. He didn't know what to say, but he began to vaguely realize that he created a ticking time bomb!
So for a long time, he did not find his voice.
"What's wrong? Is it hard for you to tell me?"
Elijah hesitated and was in a dilemma. Carolien's heart skipped a beat. Was he saying 'Bye bye' to her? But he had clearly promised her that he would spend her birthday with her!
With this thought in her mind, Carolien regretted asking. She unconsciously bit her lower lip.
"Forget it. It's not an important matter. Let's talk about it later!" Elijah finally said.
