No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

Chapter 2045 Making A Choice 

“Please, take a seat.”

A familiar voice rang out, causing Elisa to stiffen slightly as she turned around. There, she saw Vincent.

The person who used to care most about his image now had his eyelids drooping over his eyes. He looked utterly listless. Underneath his eyes were dark circles, and some stubble had grown on his chin, which he hadn’t bothered to shave off

The person seemed entirely different from before, and it was clear that the change was due to a lack of rest and excessive worry.

Although Vincent appeared frail, his voice was surprisingly robust, which put Elisa at ease. It’s a relief that Vincent didn’t get sick because of this. I can’t imagine causing harm to two people at once.

Bella helped Elisa to sit down. Vincent casually put down the things in his hand and looked at her.

Elisa gave it a cursory glance. It was all toiletries and daily necessities. Is he planning to stay here?

Facing Elisa’s somewhat doubtful gaze, Vincent tugged at the corner of his mouth, forcing a somewhat stiff smile, “I just bought some stuff and put my work aside, I just want to take care of Rachel here. She’s such a strong person. How could it be okay for her to stay alone in the hospital?”

Elisa was taken aback. She then followed Vincent’s gaze toward Rachel, who was lying motionless on the bed.

If it weren’t for the still-beating heart monitor, there would probably be no evidence to prove that she was still alive.

Elisa lowered her gaze before she looked at Vincent again. “I heard that your law firm was promoting you to become a partner. Why did you turn it down?”

Although Elisa was in the hospital, her network of connections was still extensive outside. She was aware of all the news.

In addition to the influential Gareth, Vincent wasn’t surprised by the fact that Elisa knew about the promotion. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Vincent didn’t expect words to travel so fast. I only turned down the offer two hours ago, and Elisa has already heard about it.

Despite his thoughts, Vincent didn’t ask her how Elisa knew about it because that wasn’t important.

He simply nodded in response.

Elisa anxiously asked, “Why? Is it because you need to take care of Rachel? We can actually take turns doing that. She wouldn’t want to hinder your promotion. That was an opportunity of a lifetime. Rachel would be upset if she knew.”

Bella also looked at Vincent with a face full of agreement. Vincent hooked up the corner of his mouth in a smile, tilting his head back, his gaze seeming to see through the present and into the distant past.

As the person involved, Vincent appeared quite carefree when he answered, “She wouldn’t be upset. If she knew that I quietly became a partner while she was unconscious, then she would be upset when she woke up. Besides, I don’t have that much time and energy right now. My mind is not on it at all.”

Elisa wanted to persuade him further, but Vincent’s next response stopped her from doing so.

“I never wanted to be confined by rules and regulations. Compared to the immediate benefits in front of me, I prefer to consider my future. I like…” His gaze fell on Rachel as he tugged at the corner of his mouth. and continued, “I want a future that includes her. If I get promoted to partner, it will be tough for

us to meet. I’ll have to schedule time by the minute. Isn’t it better the way it is now? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If some things aren’t done now, I might regret it for the rest of my life.”

Upon hearing that, Elisa naturally didn’t have much else to say.

Bella opened her mouth slightly, but she couldn’t utter a single word.
