Chapter 158: I am Sorry, Love. I will behave from now on.
Ch-157
"I am tired... you may leave," Eleanor said as she tried to sleep again.
"Eleanor....," he called out.
"Please... my body cannot handle the stress anymore," she said.
Why can’t she listen to him once? He wanted to know why the hell she wanted to postpone their marriage. But why wasn’t she giving him a chance to talk. He knew he was wrong for doing that to her. He wanted to say sorry to her, but his sudden idea about the AshBrooke’s family made him unable to say it to her. But she was fine and he was glad she did.
Cedric failed to notice the change of his behaviour. He failed to notice that... he was acting as if he didn’t care about her.
Eleanor knew if the topic was brought up, they would end up in a heated argument. And she has no energy to do that. There was already a crack in their relationship, and the discussion about this matter would only worsen things. Eleanor wanted to talk to him about this but not in this way. She wanted to have a heart to heart talk with him. Right now... he was looking angry which was scaring her. She just wanted to stay away from him for now and talk to him when he was cool. But... things weren’t going the way she thought.
"Eleanor! I am not asking you to talk! You will listen to me here whether you are willing or not!" he says yelling at her.
His yell makes her flinch. She subconsciously moved back, hugging herself at his sight and tone.
"You agree or disagree... we will get married. That too whenever I say not when you say. You got that!?" he asked her, moving towards her. His tall frame hovered over her body making her flinch at their closeness. For the first time, she was really scared of Cedric. Now she understood why everyone under Cedric was scared. He was a monster. Tears streamed out of her eyes. Can’t she even have an opinion? Now she realized why Valene was against their marriage. She wondered what would have happened if Martin was awake. If he was with her, then he would have been protecting her just like before. She missed him. The thought of Martin made her cry even more.
