Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 163

“Don’t give me that look. I’m spitting straight facts here,” Letitia replied. “Elgin, I’m a human being, a free person, you can’t keep trying to rule my life!”

Even a casual chat with a male colleague was under his radar. Did he think he was the national police?

Mind his beeswax, please!

“I just care…” Elgin softened his tone, “I get jealous when you are so friendly with others.”

He wanted to be more laid-back about it, but he just couldn’t.

Elgin was used to having his cake and eating it, too. He had to possess anything he set his eyes on.

In the same way, if anyone so much as glanced at the woman he loved, it was like signing their death warrant!

“I’m just being friendly, it’s not like I’m into him!” Letitia shot back. “Stop being jelly for no good reason!”

‘Then who do you like?” Elgin probed.

The room went silent as the grave.

“Letty, do you like me? Elgin pressed on. “Have you ever felt even the slightest flutter for me?”

Letitia turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

“If you don’t answer, I’ll take it as a yes.”

The moment Letitia heard that, she blurted out, “I don’t like you.”

“I don’t buy it.”

“Believe it or not, Letitia said. “How much longer are you planning to camp out here?”

Elgin hugged her tightly, his chin resting on her shoulder, “I know you hate me right now, it’s tough to forgive me… Letitia, I can hardly forgive myself.”

He had spent the whole night awake yesterday, standing by the study window, chain-smoking one cigarette after another.

He thought a lot, about every little detail of that night, about the child.

If the child was still here, Elgin was sure he and Letitia would still have a future.

But alas… sigh.

Unless they had another, but how could one be sure about such things?

Before, Elgin could force her to satisfy himself, but now he just couldn’t bear to.

“Let me go, Letitia said. “I’m leaving.”
