The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

The wolf in sheep's clothing had finally shown his true colors, utterly untrustworthy.

Eltham set down the plate: "I asked the kitchen to make you some chicken noodle soup, you should have some."

He acted as if he hadn't heard.

Feeling utterly drained, Brittany approached Eltham, hoping to make one last effort. "Eltham, you don't actually like me. We're not a good match. There's no need for us to make this any more awkward, right?" Eltham's face darkened instantly. "How do you know I don't really like you?"

"Bri, I do like you."

"I know you might not be able to accept me right now, but we have all the time in the world," Eltham said, as if caught in some delusion. "Don't worry, once you've accepted me, I'll take good care of you." Brittany suddenly felt like talking to him was just a waste of breath.

In a sudden move, she knocked over the chicken soup. "Get out!"

Eltham wasn't angry. "Rest well. I'll have the servants bring you another. Let them know if you need anything."

Brittany ignored him completely.

As Eltham reached the door, he turned back. "The news about us passing the prenuptial health check has spread. Everyone's looking forward to our engagement party. I hope you can attend in your best form." Brittany remained silent.

Eltham closed the door, instructed the servants to take good care of Brittany, and left with long strides.
