The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Chapter 1206

Eltham recoiled at the words, shaking off Hestia's grasp. "Hestia, I've told you before, don't harbor any feelings for me!"

Hestia, defiant yet desperate, pressed on. "Eltham, I've been pining for you all these years. Why won't you even give me a chance?"

She bore a striking resemblance to Brittany. Why couldn't Eltham see her the same way?

Eltham found Hestia as persistent and unwelcome as a bad cold. "Hestia, if I had any affection for you, don't you think I would've sought you out over the years?" Hestia's face went ashen, as if slapped. "If you can't let go of Ms. Lynette, I don't mind "

"I mind!"

Eltham's patience had run dry, especially now that Hestia was offering herself as a substitute. "Hestia, it's never going to happen between us."

"Our story ended long ago. If you can't accept that, you have no place here in Craneville."

Panicked, Hestia pleaded, "Don't send me away!"

Clutching Eltham's hand tightly, she implored, "Ms. Lynette may not care for you, but I do. Why won't you accept me?"

"Do you really think you compare to her?"

Eltham scoffed. Brittany was leagues beyond Hestia in every way. How could she even dare to compare?

"Even if she was playing both sides, you knew the child wasn't yours, and yet you accepted her. Why won't you give me a chance?"

In her frenzy, Hestia blurted out more than she should have.

"Hestia." Eltham's grip tightened on her collar, his gaze narrowing. "How do you know whose child it is? You... you leaked those rumors?" Realizing her slip, Hestia went pale, attempting to deny it.

"Hestia, I've underestimated you."

He had never taken Hestia seriously, yet she knew far too much.
