Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

Chapter 289 One Month

Casting a quick look at Erick, Elin quietly took her place in the passenger seat. She always seemed to yield to him without protest.

Once inside the car, they went all the way in complete silence, not uttering a single word to each other.

Elin's gaze was fixed intently on the car's hood. Years of suffering at the hands of her former partner taught her to stay grounded in reality. She also understood that a man like Erick, who was far beyond her reach, should not be part of her life. Erick, in the driver's seat, came from a distinguished family, in stark contrast to her, who felt like nothing more than a failure.

Elin's self-esteem had plummeted further following her disastrous marriage, making her feel even lesser in Erick's presence.

Suddenly, Elin felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Every encounter with Erick seemed to fill Elin with a mix of nervousness and embarrassment.

As they halted at a red light, Erick reached into the car's cooler and offered Elin a warm drink.

"Are you feeling okay?" Erick asked, noticing her discomfort. "Thank you for your concern, Dr. Foster. I'm fine," Elin replied formally and accepted the can.

Her voice carried a tone of detachment.

"Don't call me like that. Right now, I'm just a guest lecturer since I'm focusing on the company's affairs," Erick corrected her.

"Understood, Mr. Foster," Elin responded, using a different formal title.

This only seemed to irritate Erick further.

"Elin, are you deliberately trying to annoy me?" Erick asked sharply, fixing his gaze intently on her.

Elin appeared taken aback by Erick's words. She lowered her gaze, looking gentle and submissive. "Of course not, Mr. Foster," she assured him.

Despite her denial, Erick was convinced she was acting deliberately.

Erick remembered a similar situation when he had introduced Dayton to Elin. She hadn't objected then and had indeed started dating Dayton.

Back then, Dayton lured Erick to the scene and asked if Erick would object to his marrying Elin.

Erick gave a neutral reply and Elin quickly accepted Dayton's proposal. They were married within days.
