Chapter 521

Since there was no way to deal with Sheena, Elliot simply ignored her.

He redirected his gaze to the window, his eyes regaining their indifference.

His icy, high–and–mighty CEO facade crumbled in Sheena’s presence.

Seeing that Elliot remained silent and unresponsive, Sheena decided not to press him further.

“Alright, take your time to cool down. But I don’t want to hear any talk of breaking our engagement or breaking up. You insisted on being with me first, and now you want to back out? No way! Elliot, you’re mine for life!”

“Also, I’m sorry, but I’m just that domineering. It’s too late for you to realize who I really am!”

Sheena scoffed, got up, and left with graceful strides. She knew Elliot too well. He was stubborn, and getting him to speak his mind would be a great challenge. Moreover, he preferred to endure in silence, hiding his pain deep inside.

As for why he developed such a demeanor, Sheena had already guessed most of it. During the previous banquet, Santiago got angry and even mentioned punishing Elliot in her presence. Elliot’s parents had died in a car accident when he was very young, and Santiago had raised him. Santiago had traditional and strict beliefs, and Elliot likely endured many beatings and punishments. He had been left to endure injuries and pain on his own without anyone to care for him.

Moreover, Elliot had always cherished those close to him, and the more he loved someone, the more he hid things from them.
