Chapter 1068 Chloe Shut the Door Elsa and Chloe both gazed at Simon with different expressions.
Simon felt a surge of irritability. He knew that Elsa, who had always been arrogant, was intentionally displaying such an expression to him, but beneath it, there was a hint of vulnerability. She was acknowledging her mistake and genuinely trying to make amends.
In the past, Elsa had never acted this way. She would only let him coax her, but now she was the one coaxing him...
As Elsa tried to appease him, Simon could not help but feel his heart soften.
Yet, as he looked at Chloe's face, he had a strong realization. If he did not handle the situation correctly, Chloe would leave this time.
But he had no romantic feelings for Chloe, so why did he feel this sense of guilt? Just as the tension reached its peak, the clingy dog was taken away by Bellflower, and both Simon and Chloe regained some clarity.
Simon took a deep breath and spoke in a conciliatory tone, "Chloe, | need to get medicine. All of you are injured, and it's important to attend to the wounds..." Chloe felt a sudden disappointment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInitially, he was going to bring her inside to get the medicine, but now he was going to fetch the medicine for the both of them.
This implied that he had listened to Elsa's words. Going inside to get the medicine and coming back out would only be incidental, as he would be following Elsa's instructions.
"No.
Chloe turned around and headed toward the villa.
Simon's irritability grew, and he involuntarily chased after her, exclaiming, "Chloe, can you stop causing a scene?" "Why do you seem like a different person? You haven't been like this during this past month we've been together..." "Slam!" Chloe promptly closed the door, leaving Simon caught off guard and frozen in place.
The villa's entrance featured a large, hollow iron gate, with Chloe standing inside while Simon and Elsa stood outside.
Simon suddenly felt a wave of unease. "Chloe?!" Chloe pursed her lips and silently stared at Simon. "I'll tend to my wounds myself. | don't need anyone's help..." "From now on, | will eat and sleep on my own, and | will never... never rely on anyone to accompany me again." With determination, she turned her head resolutely, entered the house, and closed the door, shutting out any sights or sounds.
Simon stood there dumbfounded! "Wait, open the door!" Simon urgently exclaimed. "Why did you lock me out?" With Elsa's sudden arrival, his phone, wallet, clothes... everything was inside the room.
Even the slippers he was currently wearing on his feet...
"Chloe, open the door," Simon pleaded. "Stop causing a scene. | won't fetch the medicine anymore, okay?" No one responded...
Elsa's eyes gleamed with a hint of satisfaction as she pitifully said, "Simon, what should | do? A cat scratched the back of my hand. Should | get a rabies vaccine? Can you accompany me to get one?" Simon scratched his head in irritation and replied, "Alright then. Arrange for someone to pick you up and get the vaccine." Elsa suddenly grew furious, gritting her teeth and exclaiming, "Simon, what do you mean? I'm injured, don't you care about me? Do you have the heart to let me go to the hospital alone?" Previously, when she said such things, Simon would lower his head, but now he stared blankly at the villa as if he had lost his soul.
Elsa was infuriated to the point of wanting to explode.
That damned girl had bewitched Simon in just a few days! She could see through Chloe's act of playing hard to get now! Elsa took a deep breath, forcing herself to endure for the sake of her position as Mrs. Pierce's daughter-in-law... She could be flexible and accommodating! Her eyes turned red, tears streaming down her face. "I understand, I'm disposable now..." "I don't want someone else to take me to the hospital. | just want you by my side. I'm afraid of injections, and | want to hold onto you..." "I had thought that you would still love me as | love you..." "In that case, let me go... | wish you happiness." After finishing her words, Elsa turned around and walked away, filled with sadness.
Simon was momentarily stunned, then regained his senses and instinctively called out, "Wait..." But what was he waiting for? He did not have a car at the moment, so he could not drive her to the hospital.
He had no money either. Even if he brought his mobile phone, all his bank accounts were frozen, and Chloe had been responsible for their expenses during this period.
Moreover, he felt more concerned about Chloe now, and he could not understand why he was feeling so restless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElsa waited for a while, walking a few feet away, only to realize that Simon had just uttered those words and had nothing more to say.
Initially, she intended to wait for Simon to say a few more words before leaving on her own.
Now, all she could do was stop herself, turning around to look at Simon from a distance.
"Simon, you really..." Elsa seemed unable to continue, and suddenly burst into tears, crying uncontrollably as if deeply saddened.
This tactic truly worked, or rather, 70 percent to 80 percent of men tend to give in easily when faced with a crying woman.
Simon had no choice but to approach her and explain, "Please don't cry, | can't do anything... My cards and everything have been frozen by my mother, and | can't make payments with my phone. | don't have any assets under my name. | don't think | can find a way to take you there." Elsa was taken aback for a moment.
Was Mrs. Pierce really so cruel?! "Then what about this villa?!" Elsa blurted out, pointing at the villa.
She remembered that Simon had bought this villa himself. They had picked it together and had even discussed living here occasionally as a young couple when they grew tired of the Pierce mansion.
Simon replied, "This villa belongs to Chloe now." "Boom!" Elsa erupted with anger.
This time, she was genuinely furious, to the point where her blood boiled with rage! Gritting her teeth, Elsa scolded, "Why?! This is the villa we chose! Why is Chloe living in our villa?" MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
