"I didn't expect this," Khalil quickly regained his composure, his face full of seriousness.
"Khalil, why don't we have that fake 'CEO' who appeared last time show up again? After all, Elliot has already met him," Lawrence suggested with a slight frown.
However, Khalil had an intuition that Elliot might have obtained some information about the land and the RH CEO...
Where did things go wrong?
"Daddy Lawrence, not for now. We still have half a month left. Since he found a loophole in the contract, we can find one too. Let me think about how to deal with him..."
But sometimes it was by chance that what troubled someone was resolved in an unexpected manner.
At night when Rose was lying on her bed, she couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning as she thought about Elliot's recent actions and the words he spoke.
The more she thought about it, the more restless she became until she didn't know which way to go next.
If she said yes to Elliot...
As soon as this thought came up, there was suddenly a light sound of someone twisting the doorknob coming from outside her bedroom door. Rose froze and didn't know what to do at that moment so immediately closed her eyes pretending to be asleep.
She nervously pinched her palms together, feeling sweat forming on them as she heard slow footsteps getting closer until they were right beside her earlobe.
It seemed like the man stopped at bedside. Rose could feel his scorching gaze enveloping her whole body even though her eyes were closed tight shut pretending to be asleep.
She remained motionless while feeling increasingly anxious until hearing another movement followed by footsteps taking several steps away from where he stood before clearly sensing someone sitting down on top of bed beside hers then smelling familiar warmth emanating from him before realizing there was another hand around waist pulling herself close into his embrace tightly
Rose felt stiff all over allowing him to gently turn herself over and hug herself tightly within his arms.
She never expected Elliot would come running into her room in such late hours, let alone sleeping beside herself and holding herself so intimately What kind of strange behavior is this?
Rose continued playing dead without moving at all.
The man's breathing was shallow, right above her head. She could even feel the slight movement of Elliot's chin tapping against her scalp. As time passed, Rose began to sweat and her heart raced like thunder, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.
She didn't know how long it had been, but just as she was about to give up and move her body quietly, a voice came from above her head. It was a low chuckle with a husky tone, "Are you still pretending to be asleep?"
Rose was dumbfounded.
Was he doing it on purpose?RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Elliot was actually doing it on purpose!
Suddenly pushing the man away, Rose used her arms to create distance between them due to his overly intimate behavior. She glared at him and said, "What are you doing in the middle of the night? This is my room, Mr. Harper! Why did you come into my bed?"
Elliot's curled lips was evident with joy, "I was wondering if you were asleep or not. Who knew that when I came in, I would find a woman pretending to be asleep."
After speaking, he faced the angry Rose with a bit more seriousness, "Don't you want to see me? Or are you intentionally avoiding me?"
Rose stiffened for a moment, but the next second he pulled her by the waist and dragged her into his embrace again, bringing them even closer. "Answer me, Rose. Don't want to see me? Why pretend to be asleep?"
Rose felt a surge of anger rise to her. "Let go of me first! What am I pretending to sleep for? I just can't fall asleep! And you sneaking into my room, how dare you? Elliot, get out of here!"
"We're a married couple, shouldn't we be sleeping together?" Elliot gazed at her rosy, radiant face, and the hint of anger in his heart

instantly transformed into a desire. He moved closer, nuzzling her affectionately, their breaths mingling ina passionate and intimate embrace.
Rose was speechless.
'He really knows how to step on my toes!'
She hadn't even said yes to his advances, and he was now shamelessly in her bed. How had she never noticed this side of Elliot before. "Elliot, don't think that just because we were together a few nights ago, you can take advantage of me. I didn't agree to it then and I won't now... Hmm! You..."
Rose couldn't finish her sentence before she was interrupted by a deep kiss that silenced all her words, leaving her gradually lost in desire.
The next morning, after taking a hot shower, Rose woke up completely sober. She looked at all the marks on her body and couldn't help but curse under her breath while tightening her clothes.
Luckily, it was winter and she was wearing thick clothing.
When she went downstairs, she didn't see Elliot or any of the three children. She ate Sean's breakfast at the dining table with confusion and asked Auntie about their
el
whereabouts. That's when she found out that Elliot took all three children to work with him.
She couldn't believe it and called Elliot after breakfast.
"... Yes, they're with me. Don't worry; I'll take care of them," Elliot answered his phone while standing in front of a conference room window to avoid being overheard by shareholders sitting nearby.
However, intermittent sounds coming from his phone made several shareholders nearby surprised; Mr. Harper was too gentle! When did they ever hear Elliot talk like this? Never before!
Rose frowned tightly. "Why did you take the children? Elliot... I won't just leave like that; you don't have to..."
"Rose! Is this how you see me?" He immediately understood what Rose meant by those words as he changed from a gentle expression into one more deep-seated anger in an instant.
"In the morning, the kids said they wanted to come along with me to work. I'm not going to let them become conditions that bind you down. You can look at your living room table where there are notes left for you by your son and daughter. I'm hanging up now."
Rose froze for a moment before walking towards the living room.
Although he said he hung up already, Rose still heard him talking on his end. She glanced over, and saw two notes left by Sean and Leah saying they wanted to go play at work with their dad, and not worry about anything else. Rose pinched ner

forehead, then talked through gritted teeth on the phone, "Sorry, I saw them."
"Mm." Elliot relaxed slightly, but because of what Rose said earlier, his mood wasn't as good as when he first picked up her call.
