His Dangerous Love

Chapter 114 Retreat to Advance

Chapter 114 Retreat to Advance

Time passed minute by minute, Elianna's face remained calm, but her fingertips quietly curled up.

If Asher still chose to cancel the marriage, she would be in real trouble.

The more critical the situation, the less she could show any weakness. Once Asher discovered that she didn't want to cancel the marriage, he would definitely not hesitate to do so.

After an unknown amount of time, Asher finally spoke.

He sneered first, "Well, I definitely won't marry a woman who has slept with other men."

Elianna's back stiffened.

Had she failed? She thought.

"But I can't let you leave so easily. So, you have to wait until I want to cancel the marriage."

Her heart sank.

As long as there was time, there would be a way.

Elianna nodded calmly, "Alright."

She was satisfied with the current result and didn't want to have any more conflicts with Asher, so she chose to go upstairs.

Just as she stood up, Asher rushed over and blocked her way.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Upstairs to sleep."

Elianna smiled, "Unless you have objections to that too."

Asher didn't speak and just glared at her.

The more indifferently she acted, the more frustrated he became.

Why did he have to be the only one acting like a madman? Why was she able to act as if nothing had happened! He thought.

Thinking of how she had laughed at Albert in the car earlier, he wished he could kill her.

With a dark face, he warned her, "As long as I haven't cancelled the marriage, you will be my fiancée. You are not allowed to see other men."

Elianna chuckled lightly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "Asher, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"What do you mean by that?" Asher's face darkened.

Elianna half-jokingly said, "If you had paid even the slightest attention to me, you would know that I like you. It's not just because you are my fiancé, nor because you are Mr. Asher of the Larsen family. I genuinely like you. But what have you done? You have left me time and time again to see Kenley. You even think my concern for you as a bother." NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"I thought you wanted to push me away." He said.

Elianna paused and looked into his eyes, slowly opening her mouth, "Now, I understand. I am willing to step back. But it seems, Asher, that you are also unhappy."

"So, Asher, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Asher was at a loss for words when he was stared at by her eyes filled with intense heartbreak.

After a long silence, he gritted his teeth, "No matter what, you shouldn't betray me."

Elianna shifted her gaze away, looking at the night sky outside, and softly said, "Being betrayed is not a pleasant feeling, but Asher..."

She turned her head to look deeply at him, "I have experienced what you are going through now, to a greater not lesser extent."

There was silence for a few seconds and Asher finally forced out a sentence, "Are you trying to get back at me?"

Elianna shook her head, "I don't know either. All I know is that I don't want to be as heartbroken for you as before."

Her tone was light, with no ups and downs, but it was like fine needles, piercing into Asher's heart.

When she went upstairs, he didn't call her again. Instead, he silently watched her go step by step.

As she locked the door behind her, Elianna leaned against it and let out a long sigh of relief.

Thanks to Ms. Gentry's infatuation, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to continue this act.

The thing men doubted the least was a woman's love.

They were convinced that they had enough charm to make a woman fall in love with them.

Except for Jefferson. She thought.

No matter how convincingly she played the role of a lovestruck woman, he always watched her performance like a spectator.

He was too unpredictable.

No one knew what he was thinking or what he would do.

And no one could control him...

"Buzz-"

The phone that had been lying in the room all day rang.

She glanced at the screen. It was Jefferson.

She wondered what orders he had again. She answered the phone with a soft voice, "Hello, Jefferson."
