Chapter 139

“Miss Lynwood, it’s been a while. How have you been lately?”

Jordan’s speech retained its carefree tone as if nothing in the world was worth his time.

“I’m fine, Mr. Carr. I believe you are overly concerned about me.”

Although Jordan had no ulterior purpose for Elspeth, his look suggested an impure motive.

“It’s something I’ve said before. I respect you, so it’s natural for me to be concerned about you.” Jordan laughed and moved in closer. “If you insist on a reason, it’s because I adore you.”

Elspeth was terrified when she peered into his beaming eyes. “There are a lot of ladies in the world. Why can’t you just let me go?”

“It’s not about not letting you go. It is because you have something I like.” Jordan swirled the wine glass in his palm, feeling rather happy. “You know I’ve been missing you for a long time.”

Elspeth was anxious, but she didn’t want to say anything too harsh because they were in public.

“I’m not sure how you feel about me, but I don’t like the vibe you give me.”

Jordan shook his head. “You’ll like it someday.”

Elspeth couldn’t answer and didn’t want to, so she lowered her head and sipped her drink.

After some time, she felt hot and went to the open-air balcony to get some fresh air.

It was winter and the air was so chilly that it made one’s heart shiver.

Elspeth drew her plush coat closer to her body as her nose turned bright red from the cold. However, the confusion in her head was relieved.

Before she could react, she heard quiet sobs and a man speaking from the corner.

Elspeth recognized the two voices, so she held her ground and leaned in to listen to them.

“Can you explain why you’re rejecting me, Max?”
