Sean pushed the door open and saw Eli lyingfortably on the sofa. She wastexting Ste.She wrote, “Ste, guess who I just saw? It’s Bemy.”


    Her eyes were full of smiles when she saw Seaning in. She sat cross-legged on the sofa and said, “Sean, you are so smart to use this way to let me rest. But why did youe up so soon? Don’t you need to apany Bemy and the others?”


    “Bemy has to settle some business and he has left,” Sean said. He picked her up, put her on the ground, and said, “Don’t lie down immediately after eating, otherwise, you will get stomach acid reflux. It’s not good for your health. We should go out for a walk.”


    Eli shuddered. “It’s cold outside. I don’t really want to go. I’ll just walk around in my room.”


    Sean smiled helplessly and pinched her nose. “You’re justzy.”


    “Ouch,” Eli said gloomily and smacked off his hand. “Don’t pinch me in the future. I don’t like it. A gentleman should not use his hands.”


    “This is how I show my love to you. Have you forgotten all about it?” Sean put his arm around her waist and looked at her with burning eyes. “Since you don’t want to go out for exercise, let’s do some indoor exercises, alright?”


    “Go away,” Eli immediately pushed him away. “I’m full now. I’ll throw up if I do some exercise. You should get back to work. Aren’t you busy?”


    “Don’t you want to? It’s been a while since we…”


    Eli covered his mouth. “We just did it recently. I really ate too much just now. You should get back to work.”


    She pushed him out of the room and closed the door.


    Sean was speechless.


    He figured he should let her rest then. After all, there were very important things for him to do for the next few days.


    He turned around and went to the study.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Yvonneheaved a sigh of relief when shesaw Sean leaving Eli’s room.


    Natasha stood next to her and whispered, “He has only been in there for three minutes,that’s too short a time for him to do anything. Now, it’s time for us to endure.”


    “Did you notice that Eli didn’t seem to be jealous at all?” Yvonne said somewhat irritably.


    “Who said that? Didn’t you see her clenched fists under the table? She couldn’t possibly endure it forever. She will definitely snap soon.What we have to do is wait and create opportunities,” Natasha said deliberately.


    “Okay,” Yvonne held Natasha’s hand and said softly, “It’s a good thing that you’re by my side. Otherwise, I would definitely have a hard time alone.”


    Natasha smiled. “No matter what happens, I will always be by your side.”


    “Yes, thank you.”


    Natasha stroked Yvonne’s head, and her eyes seemed to be full of pity and affection. “There is no need to say thank you. Did you forget that you savedmy life?”


    Yvonne smiled and said, “You too have also saved my life.”


    …


    Eli turned on her phone after sending Sean off.


    Ste sent a text message back. “Was he at the President’s manor?”


    “Wow,” Eliy on the bed again and rested her right foot on her left knee. She shook her body and dialed Ste’s number. “Ste, you’re so smart. How did you guess it?”


    “You spend almost all your time in the President’s Manor, and it’s night time now.It’s most likely thatyou would see him there. Furthermore, he does have a lot of things to discuss with Sean, which is normal,” Ste analyzed.


    “No, no, no. The main reason he came this time was not to discuss official business. He came with Reba. I think that they are trying to get to know each other better,” Eli reported.


    Ste had heard about this matter before. When he said that he would pursue her, something bad happened. It was not necessarily a bad thing for him to be close with Reba now. It was good to divert other people’s attention from her.


    She had absolute trust in Bemy. “Mm.”


    “I had initially thought that you and Bemy were quite a match. Now that he is dating Reba, just forget it then. He doesn’t seem to have Jasper’s infatuation and eternal love. Jasper has been separated from you for so many years, yet you are the only one he loves,” Eli sighed.


    Ste lowered her eyes.She still felt a warmth in her heart when she heard Jasper’s nameing from someone else’s mouth, “In this life, I will only live for him. Other than him, I won’t fall in love with anyone else.”


    “Even if Bemy looks exactly the same as Jasper?” Eli asked tentatively.


    “I love Jasper, not because of his appearance, but his character, his sincerity, and his passionate heart,” Ste said softly. She outlined Jasper’s image in her mind and smiled gently.


    Eli’s heart ached for her. “So, are you going to be alone for the rest of your life?”


    Jasper was still alive, but she couldn’t tell Eli about it, even though she was her best friend. Jasper would be in danger if Eli knew about it, and Eli would be in even more danger.


    “Besides him, I won’t fall in love with anyone else. Eli, I’m a little tired. Do you want to talk to me about anything else?” Ste asked softly.


    “No,you should have a good rest then. Pregnant women shouldn’t tire themselves out too much.How far are you along now?” Eli asked with concern.


    “I just passed the third month.”


    “That’s good. Remember to eat more, you are very thin. Now, not only do you have to eat for yourself, but for your child too. You especially need more calcium,” Eli said.


    In fact, Ste was a gynecologist, and she also knew about it. However, Eli just wanted to remind her again.


    “Okay, I’ll hang up first then. You should rest early too. Call me if you need anything,” Ste said softly. She then hung up the phone andy down on the bed.


    Too many things had happened today, and she was exhausted. She didn’t even grade the test papers. She closed her eyes.


    Her heart was still heavy, a little bitter, and ufortable.


    She felt that she was the only person in the room. She felt lonely and lost.


    She soon fell asleep.


    In the morning, she was awakened by a call from Anthony.


    She guessed that it was about Christian, hence, she sat up on the bed and answered it.


    “Mrs. Milton, Christian is dead. He was assassinated in the apartment yesterday. He died miserably, and his face was badly mutted by a knife. His face is beyond recognition. What’s more, strangely, there was nothing captured in the surveince camera, as though it was done by a ghost,” Anthony said in shock.


    “Okay,” Ste replied calmly. She was not surprised at all because she knew that his death was imminent.


    “Mrs. Milton, was it you?” Anthony asked tentatively.


    “No, don’t make wild guesses.Christian staying alive would only be a disadvantage to us. Now that he’s dead, the one who killed him has helped keep the peace of the citizens,” Ste said simply.


    “Mrs. Milton, do you know who killed him then?” Anthony asked curiously.


    “I don’t know. It’s regrettable thathe didn’t die under thew, but I have nothing else to say about his death. Anthony, don’t get too involved in this matter,” Ste reminded him.


    “Yes, Mrs. Milton. It was the Chief who did it, right?” Anthony was persistent.
