Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 117

After Elspeth resigned, she focused all her attention on taking care of Blake so that he could get discharged as soon as possible.

During that period, she also visited Lola’s ward but found her asleep. She did not want to disturb her, so she gave the gingerbread cookies she had made to Lola’s father, Nicholas Joneson.

While Blake was hospitalized, Elspeth had kept on a tight leash. Now that he was finally discharged, he desperately wanted to bring her out to have fun.

“Elspeth, how about we go to the amusement park today? It’s been long since I’ve been to one!” He lowered his head pitifully, seemingly eager to go there.

Since Elspeth had matured early, she lost interest in places like amusement parks ever since she was young. Therefore, she immediately rejected his offer. “I’m not going. You can go there by yourself if you want to.”

“Please! Can’t you accompany me there? I was injured because of you, yet you don’t even care about your savior. You’re such a heartless woman…” He deliberately acted miserable by blinking his watery eyes, rendering him pitiful.

When she heard that, she knew he was using that matter to guilt trip her again. She gritted her teeth and rebuked, “You could have chosen not to save me!”

Noticing her anger, Blake immediately surrendered. “I’m sorry. Don’t be angry. How could I bear to leave you danger’s way? I would even give my life to save you.”

“Blake, you’ve been in the entertainment industry for so long and have seen all sorts of women, but why do you keep pestering me?”

That was something Elspeth could not figure out. She was clueless as to what she had done to attract his attention.

Blake was still goofing around but instantly became upright after hearing what she said. “The thing about liking someone is that it’s all about feelings. Even if I’ve seen many kinds of beautiful women in the industry, I only have you in my heart.”

Although it made her cringe, what he said was justifiable. In the end, she could not stand his pestering and followed him to the amusement park.

“We’re starting work tomorrow, so of course, we have to have some fun before returning to work. Come on, Elspeth. Let’s head over to the rollercoaster. I love that.” While saying that, he eagerly looked at the carts that went by above his head.
