Chapter 517

Elliot looked down, refusing to meet her gaze, emanating an aloof and melancholic aura that made him seem unapproachable.

Sheena could not understand him at all. All she could feel was the surge of fury inside her, with one clear thought dominating her mind to beat him until he would not dare mention anything about breaking up ever again!

Driven by anger, Sheena stepped down from the bed, heading toward the bedside table to fetch a wooden ruler from the first drawer. However, just as her hand reached for the drawer’s handle, she hesitated.

The ruler was too heavy. What if, in the heat of the moment, she failed to control herself and accidentally hurt Elliot, who did not even dodge her attacks?

However, approaching him empty–handed would make her seem foolish. She discreetly turned around to glance at Elliot across the bed. His intense gaze was fixed on her and going empty–handed seemed awkward.

Nearby, on the coat rack, hung Elliot’s dark leather belt. She went over, folded it in half, and held the metal buckle before sitting back on the bed.

“See this

hand! Don’t make me whip you!” Her sweet voice carried a menacing tone, playfully threatening him.

Elliot glanced at the belt in her hand, still maintaining an aloof expression.

“I had let go back then, but you held on tight and asked for another chance. Now that I’m giving you a chance and want to be with you forever, you’re backing away instead? You need to give me a reasonable explanation!

In the warm, muted light of the bedroom, Elliot’s handsome face seemed almost surreal. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, his head bowed, eyes half–hidden beneath his long lashes, maintaining silence.

A silent resistance.

Was he giving her the silent treatment?

Sheena bit down on her lower lip, feeling deeply hurt: “Fine. You want more time to think, right? Take your time! Cool down and think it through!”

She threw the belt onto him, turned around, and slammed the door hard, venting her pent–up frustration.

Soon, the entire room was filled with a somber and heavy atmosphere.

Sheena returned to the adjacent room, determined that they would sleep in separate beds from now
