âMiss. Stone now knows why I oppose you being with Elliot, isnât it? Itâs not because you are a single mother, but because you are the daughter of the person that Elliot hates the most. Because of your mother, Elliot has lost his fatherâs love since he was a child. If he knows that the woman he likes is the daughter of the woman who made him lose his fatherâs love, what will he think?â
The old tutorâs voice was very slow, but every word was heart-wrenching. âThink about it carefully. If you feel that you can calmly be with Elliot, I wonât object, but you canât keep the paper on fire. If one day Elliot knows the truth...â
Amber tried his best not to lose his composure, but the huge impact still made her eyes full of tears. She didnât want to cry in front of outsiders, so she stood up and said goodbye to the old man with a nod. Looking at her straight back, the old man finally couldnât bear it.
Elliot, Iâve always been afraid of liking you because Iâm afraid of losing myself again. Iâm afraid that youâll let me down. But what reason do I have to like you now? What reason do I have to accept your love so calmly?
Iâm sorry, Elliot. I donât want your love anymore, because I donât deserve it! I donât deserve it!
There was a kind of unspeakable bitterness and pain in her heart. In fact, she could not hold on any longer, but only she herself knew how difficult it was to keep calm and walk out of the tea room.
Amber calmly took her bag and went downstairs. Elliot, who was downstairs, stood by the car and looked at her with a smile.
Looking at his bright smile, Amber felt extremely bitter in his heart.
She walked toward Elliot step by step. Her footsteps seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. She had walked a very short distance for a very long time.
Elliot opened the door and Amber got in the car speechlessly. He followed her and looked at her with a smile. âWhy didnât you answer my call last night?â
âThereâs no electricity on the phone,â Amber replied.
âWell, do you know how hard it was last night? I suddenly couldnât fall asleep and wanted to talk to someone, but I couldnât get through when I called you, so I couldnât sleep all night. You have to compensate me!â
Amber turned his head and suddenly reached out to hug him. He took the initiative to kiss Elliotâs lips. Elliot was stunned.
Obviously, he was shocked by her initiative. After a while, he came to his senses and began to respond.
Finally, the two of them separated. âIf it wasnât during the day, I would really want to get rid of you!â Elliot panted.
Amber looked at his handsome face and felt pain in her heart. She calmed down and said slowly, âElliot, Iâve thought about it carefully. Itâs not suitable for us to be together, so letâs break up!â
âWhat did you say?â Elliotâs eyes widened. He almost suspected that something was wrong with his ears. This woman had just taken the initiative to kiss him, but she broke up with him in an instant. It was said that women change easily, but such a change was too fucking incredible.
âI say, weâre not suitable for each other. Break up!â
Elliotâs expression suddenly turned cold. âAmber, are you kidding?â
âIâm not joking. Iâve already thought about it. Weâre not suitable for each other. Itâs better to end it now than in the future.â
âItâs not suitable. Itâs not suitable for you to promise me at that time. Amber, Iâm telling you, Iâm not a nobody. Since you provoked me, donât even think about escaping!â
âElliot, let me go!â
âLet you go? Am I a monster or a flood? Am I that scary?â Elliot glared at Amber.
âI canât convince myself to accept a man who has countless women outside. I think you are very dirty!â
âYou!â Elliot was gasping for breath. She said he was dirty! She said he was dirty!
Elliot raised his fist. For a second, Amber thought that he would punch him. Subconsciously, he closed his eyes, only to hear a bang. When he opened his eyes, he saw Elliotâs fist hit the glass.
His hand was cut and bleeding. Amber felt pain in his heart and subconsciously stretched out his hand. Elliotâs eyes flashed, but the next second, Amber suddenly changed his action. She quickly opened the bag in her hand and took out a resignation report.
âThis is my resignation report. I hope you can approve it.â
Amber tried to make his voice as cold as possible so that he could finish his words calmly. Only God knew how much her heart ached when he said these words.
She knew very well how good Elliot had been to her. He had given her strength at the most difficult and most helpless moment, but she was destined to have no way to have him.
âAmber! Did someone force you?â Elliot suddenly grabbed her shoulder, and the blood on his hand dripped on Amberâs shoulder.
âDid Breanna threaten you again?â
âNo, no one threatened me. I just feel that we are not suitable for each other. I canât cross that hurdle in my heart! For me, men and toothbrush canât be shared. I canât tolerate you having so many women in the past.â
Elliotâs face was full of pain. She still thought he was dirty. This woman thought he was dirty. He knew very well how many absurd things he had done. She was not wrong!
He let go of Amberâs shoulder dejectedly. Amber placed the resignation report in front of him. âI hope you can approve of my resignation as soon as possible. I believe that Mr. Thomson will not be so childish as to threaten me with a contract like before.â
His words made Elliot so angry that the veins on his forehead were exposed. He stared at Amber with blood-red eyes. Amber plucked up the courage to look at him.
Looking at the indifferent expression in her eyes, Elliot was finally defeated.
âGet out of the car!â A cold and ruthless voice sounded. Amber opened the door, but before he could stand firm, the car sped away.
Looking at the car that disappeared from her sight, she burst into tears. âElliot, Iâm sorry! I donât deserve you. Itâs my fault! Iâm sorry!â
The afternoon sun was a little warm. Breanna narrowed her eyes and sat under the shade of the garden, basking in the sun. She had just gone to the Thomson family to visit the Old Master who had just returned from South City. The Old Master was very sure that Elliot would not have someone like Amber by his side.
The old man was indeed powerful. As soon as he attacked, he made Amber obediently choose to give in. Thinking of Amberâs tough attitude to her that day, Breanna felt very happy. âAmber, you lost again!â
In the Thomson family, Remington sat comfortably in the garden and enjoyed the fragrant tea. The butler ran over in a hurry and shouted from a distance, âOld Master, Young Master is back!â
The old tutor didnât react for a moment. It wasnât until the butler walked up to him and said it again that the old tutor came to his senses. âElliot is back?â
âYes, itâs the Seventh Young Master.â
âWhy did Elliot come back at this time? Is it because of Amber?â The old man was stunned when he saw a tall and straight figure appear in her sight.
âGrandpa, youâre really something!â Elliot walked to the side of the old man and sat down. He took a teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
The old tutor didnât say anything. He had already guessed why Elliot had returned. It had to be because of Amber.
In fact, he felt a little guilty about Amber. After all, Amber was completely different from what he had imagined.
If she was not Ashleyâs daughter, he might really let her and Elliot be together. But now, even if he was beaten to death, he would not agree.
âGrandpa, donât you have anything to say to me?â Elliot stared at the old man with his black eyes.
Even though the old man had been in the business field for many years, he was still a little frightened by his stare. He coughed dryly and said, âElliot, what did you come back for this time?â
âHaha, grandpaâs acting skills are getting more and more impressive?â Elliot sneered.
Remingtonâs face darkened. âYou brat, how could you say that about your grandfather?â
âYou also know that you are my grandfather? Since you are my grandfather, why did you do that to me?â
âElliot, this isnât what you think. You really canât be with Amber. Grandpa was worried that you might regret it in the future, so he persuaded Amber to leave you!â The old man sighed.
âI regret it? How do you know that I will regret it? How can you not predict what I donât even know? Are you an immortal?â
âElliot!â The old tutorâs expression was ugly. âI really did it for your own good!â
âFor me? I donât need it! Grandpa, Iâm telling you, Iâve never liked a woman like this. Grandpa, do you know how I feel now? The feeling of burning all my organs? Iâm not feeling well. I canât die!â
Looking at Elliotâs expression, the old man didnât speak. His expression was complicated.
âGrandpa, Iâm begging you. Please let me and Amber be together! As long as you promise us to be together, I wonât do anything.
Iâll listen to you, okay?â
Looking at her grandsonâs crazy look, the old man was really upset. What charm did Amber and his daughter have?
Ashley asked her son to abandon his wife and son, but now her grandson was willing to sacrifice everything for her daughter.
Feeling a little angry, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. âElliot, I actually didnât say anything to Miss. Stone. She volunteered to leave you. If you donât believe me, you can go back and ask her.â
âSelfish? How is that possible?â Elliot refused to believe it. âGrandpa, tell me honestly what kind of tricks youâve played to make Amber leave me firmly.â
âItâs very simple. I actually told her that she is a divorced woman with a child. She doesnât deserve you. I donât like it. Thatâs it.â
âImpossible!â Elliot did not believe it.
âThatâs the truth. She feels that she doesnât deserve you, so she shrank back. It proves that she loves you and doesnât love you very deeply.â The Old Master wouldnât tell Elliot about Ashley even if he was beaten to death.
When Elliot saw that the old master was unwilling to say anything, he sneered. âSince there are others who are unwilling to say anything, then thereâs nothing I can do. However, thereâs one more thing I want to tell you.â
âWhat is it?â
âI wonât listen to you anymore!â The corners of Elliotâs mouth curled up slightly. He looked at the old man with a mocking look.
âGrandpa, Iâm telling you, from now on, I wonât listen to any of your words. You want me to marry Breanna and marry the Hammond family, right? I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible!â
âWhatâs wrong with Breanna? Why donât you like her?â
âWhy would I fall in love with her?â Elliot sneered. âIâm not afraid to tell you that if it werenât for Amber, I wouldnât have gotten married, and I wouldnât have lived as you asked. If you donât believe me, weâll just wait and see!â
âB*stard!â Remington was furious all of a sudden. âAre you threatening me? I wonât let you do that!â
âIâm not threatening you. Iâm telling you whatâs on my mind!â Elliot said word by word. âWithout Amber, Iâll return to the life of being drunk and dying. Remember, itâs you who ruined me. Itâs you who ruined the happiness of my life!â
After saying that, Elliot got up and left. Looking at his back, the Old Masterâs eyes darkened.
âElliot, why are you so stupid? How can you be so stupid! Itâs not that Grandpa doesnât agree, but that you canât marry Amber!â
After breaking up with Elliot, Amber had never been to Elliotâs company again. In order to cut off the connection with Elliot, she gave the valuable ring that Elliot gave her to Elliotâs special assistant and asked him to hand it over to Elliot.
Elliot had never appeared in her life again. Without a job, her life had to continue. Amberâs current priority was to find a job first.
She began to look for work everywhere. Soon, she found a civilian job in a company. Although her salary was not as high as Elliotâs, her life was enough.
Her work was busy and full. When she was free, she would think of Elliot. She didnât know how he was doing now. He must hate this ungrateful woman to the core, right?
âThatâs good. With his character, if he hates me, he wonât pester me anymore.â
But why was there so much reluctance and melancholy in her heart?
âMom, why didnât Uncle Elliot come to play with me?â Mel couldnât hold back anymore after not seeing Elliot for several days.
âUncle Elliot will never come again,â replied Amber.
âWhy? Is he busy?â
âNo.â Amber didnât know how to answer.
âMom, does Uncle Elliot not want us anymore?â
Amber didnât say anything, and there was sadness in her eyes. Mel saw the sadness in her eyes and reached out to hold her tightly. âMom, donât be sad. Mel wonât abandon mom. Mel will spend the rest of her life with mom!â
âGood son!â Tears flashed in Amberâs eyes as he hugged Mel tightly.
