Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 287 I Want You to Marry Me

"Honey, you never call me first. What's up today? Miss me?" Ellin's voice was as flirty as ever, but Richard wasn't in the mood for games. He asked coldly, "Where did you take Abby?"

Ellin chuckled softly. "Yeah, I took Abby. I wasn't planning to hide it from you, but I can't give her back."

Richard was surprised she admitted it so easily. Her calmness made him uneasy; she seemed ready to go all out.

Richard pulled the car over and asked, trying to keep his anger in check, "What do you want?"

Ellin laughed again, but this time it was bitter. "What do I want? Don't you know? I just love you."

Sophie, sitting in the passenger seat, watched Richard's furrowed brow closely.

She couldn't hear what Ellin was saying on the phone. She knew Ellin didn't like her, but she had no idea what Ellin planned to do with Abby. She was really worried.

"If you want to see her, I'll be at the hotel, but you have to come alone. I don't want to see that woman." Mentioning Sophie, Ellin's previously sweet tone turned sinister.

"Fine," Richard said, and hung up.

"What did she say?" Sophie asked anxiously.

Richard glanced at her and restarted the car. "Don't worry, I'll bring Abby back safely."

As they entered the city, he slowed down and said to Sophie, "There's a café across from the hotel. Wait for my news there."

At the hotel entrance, Richard watched Sophie reluctantly enter the café before heading to the hotel.

He went straight to the room Ellin had specified. The door was slightly open.

Richard pushed the door open. The dark room was silent. As he stepped inside, someone lunged at him from the darkness, wrapping their arms around his neck. Ellin said, "Richard, you finally came!"

Richard quickly pulled her away and asked coldly, "Where's Abby?"

In the darkness, Ellin looked at the man she loved through the faint light, feeling utterly disappointed.

He couldn't even pretend to care about her anymore.

She pressed the switch on the wall, and as the luxurious suite lit up, Ellin's disappointment was masked by her signature smile.

"I never said I brought Abby here, but don't worry, she's safe." Ellin casually flicked her wavy hair, swayed to the sofa, sat down, and took a sip of red wine, looking at him innocently.

"I know you're mad at me for taking Abby. You might even hate me. If I let Abby go so easily, would you let me go?"

Richard had already guessed that Ellin wouldn't hand Abby over so easily. Seeing her feigned innocence, he remained calm.

He stepped forward, grabbed her chin, and lifted it. "Name your price, or tell me what you want."

Seeing the ruthlessness in his eyes, Ellin felt a bit intimidated. But then she realized that from the moment she decided to take the child, there was no turning back.

So she had to take a gamble.
