Chapter 2853
"Yeah. I got it." Lulu nodded, understanding June's implication.
Initially, she was just making a joke, but upon seeing Patricia's reaction to the innocent little remark she had made,
she came to realize that the latter had taken it seriously.
Curious, Lulu furrowed her brows and whispered to Nicole," Is Patricia worried about something she can't divulge to
us?"
She always felt that while Patricia did care about Eliar, she had never reciprocated Ellar's feelings for her, and there
must be a solid reason for that.
After glancing over at Patricia and back to Lulu, Nicole simply responded, "Maybe."
Since it was a personal matter which Patricia did not seem too keen to talk about, Nicole did not want to probe too
deeply. She believed in giving Patricia her personal space to figure things out on her own.
"Okay then," Lulu responded, sighing as she looked at Patricia and Ellar.
She thought it would be a pity if the two missed the chance to get together, but ultimately, the final decision was for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe duo of Patricia and Ellar to make.
After dinner, the group of five walked out of the restaurant.
"I'll take you home," Ellar said to Patricia.
Raising her eyebrows in annoyance, Patricia coldly replied," You must understand that I need to drive Ms. Riddle
home."
"Well, my brother-in-law is coming to pick her up. You shouldn't deprive him of what he is already planning on
doing," Ellar insisted, holding onto Patricia.
As soon as he had spoken, Jared's car rounded the corner and pulled up before them.
"Hey, Jared!" Ellar waved at Jared happily.
Patricia narrowed her eyes as she scrutinized Ellar, suspecting that he had intentionally called Jared over.
Feeling a little guilty, Ellar avoided Patricia's gaze and turned to Nicole instead. "Nicole, your hubby is here to pick
you up. You can go home first."
"Okay," Nicole agreed and made a beeline for Jared's car.
Nicole knew what Ellar was up to, but since Jared was already there, she got into the car anyway, not wanting to
make a big deal out of it.
After Nicole and Jared had disappeared into the distance, June and Lulu announced, “We're leaving too."
"Sure, let's go together. I'll drive you both," Patricia quickly offered.
"It's okay. We'll just get a cab."
After declining Patricia's offer, the duo hailed a passing cab, got in, and went home.
Patricia's lips twitched. Though she was not one to bite, the two seemed to be avoiding her like she was some beast
ready to pounce.
"Well, let's go home," Ellar said to Patricia with a gentle smile etched on his face.
Frustrated by the situation they had left her in, Patricia glared at Ellar. "I can walk on my own."
"Patricia!" Ellar quickly reached out to grab her when he saw that she was turning around to walk home on her own.
"Let me take you home."
"It's fine." Patricia forcefully pulled away, causing Ellar to let out a yelp in pain. "Argh, that hurts!"
Another twitch of frustration crossed her lips at once. Not only had the women in her company avoided her like the
plague, but they had also left her a man-child in Ellar to deal with.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmExasperated, she turned to look at him and asked, "Your arm shouldn’t be hurting anymore, don't you think?"
'Is he using his injury for sympathy?' she wondered.
But it really hurts," Ellar replied, his voice weak and pitiful.
"Really?" Patricia held his arm up in doubt to check his wound.
'The wound has already recovered. There’s even a scar there, so why did he claim it still hurts?' she asked herself.
Catching her off guard, Ellar grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest where his heart was. "It hurts right here."
"You..." Patricia's cheeks flushed the instant she realized what he was up to.
Then, she quickly yanked her hand away and took a few steps back.
'The nerve of him! He tricked me again! He looks so gentle and unassuming on the outside, but as soon as I let my
guard down, he springs his trap on me!' she fumed.
As expected, Patricia's act of retreating from him left him sad and deflated. "Patricia, I know you care about me.
Can't you just give me a chance? Just one chance? Please?"
He could not wrap his head around the fact that Patricia still refused to give him a chance, even though it was clear
by now that she had feelings for him.
Patricia bit her lips in response, and in a tone laced with cold sternness, she replied, "Please do us both a favor and
avoid saying things like that."
