Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 120

But just now, when Mark said, “you’re putting up with Letitia carrying someone else’s kid, it sent his

rage through the roof!

Only Letitia, after all these years, could effortlessly unleash Elgin’s most ferocious temper!

Yeah, the kid in Letitia’s belly, still there after all this time.

He’s usually quick on making decisions, but when it comes to Letitia, he’s been dragging his feet,

hesitating, and going soft on her over and over again!

Elgin kicked over a chair nearby and stormed out of the study.

“Mr. Ramirez, the butler hurried over as he came downstairs, are you going lo

“Beat it Elgin, with his face the color of thunder, kept on walking

The butler signaled to the servants to clean up the study and followed him

And… Elgin headed to the servants quarters

Inside, Letitia was already asleep

Η

Tonight, she finally got a taste of falling from heaven to hell, so she was extra relaxed and slept like a

log

Not even Elgin kicking the door in woke her up.

Elgin stood at the doorway, his towering frame completely out of place in this cramped house.

Looking at the woman sleeping on the bed, his anger began to fade away.

Letitia lay on her side, hands under her head, her hair spilling over her face, serene in slumber.

Just a moment ago he felt like strangling her, but now. He couldn’t bear to disturb her sleep!

Elgin thought he must be going crazy!

He stepped into the servants’ room, a musty smell hitting him and the ceiling so low, he could touch it

with a stretched hand.

How could she sleep so soundly in such a place?

Even the hallway outside the master bedroom or a mat inside it would be better!

But then, Elgin remembered she had spent two years in a mental hospital…

The conditions there must have been unimaginably bad.

Elgin also recalled how he’d told Mark to “look after her properly, and Mark definitely did just that.

Damn it!

“Letitia, if you’re willing to get rid of the kid… we could start over, Elgin reached out, gently brushing her

hair aside, “Why do you have to be so stubborn? Do you really like the baby’s father that much?”

“I’ve given you chances, to give up the child, to stay by my side, you could have had a good life. But

no, you have to be at odds with me. suffering all the time

“Was it a wrong decision to bring you back, to keep you close?”

Letitia mumbled in her sleep, feeling something ticklish on her face, she swiped at it, “Mmm, stop

After that, she went back to sleep

Elgin withdrew his hand.

Was this child really that important to her? At this moment, Elgin faced his own heart

He had to admit, his feelings for Letitia had changed. from initial scorn and hatred to care, to missing

her

Yes, he missed her.

Even Elgin had thought about letting go of the vendetta, the mistakes of the past generation, and just

being together with her. But standing in the way of him and her, was this child!

Letitia fet go of my father’s death, can you let go of the child?”

In love, even a strong man like Elgin can be hesitant and timid.

dya inave. Before leaving, he made sure to tuck her in,

One second he couldn’t wait to strangle her, the next he was worried she might catch a cold.

“Mmm stop it” Letitia, still with closed eyes, started sleep talking, “Let me sleep a bit more.

“Keep sleeping, no one’s going to bother you’

“Okay, I’m a bit sleepy.. Walden, I’ll come to you later.”

Upon hearing it all of Elgin’s motions froze in an instant.

In her sleep talk, Letitia murmured, “Walden, I want ice cream. You said, once we’re married, you’d buy

me ice cream every day…”

She even smiled in her sleep. It seems like… she’s really having a sweet dream!

In the cramped room, every word from Letitia was especially clear

Elgin’s expression slowly solidified

Walden, that must be the guy. Letitia is really lovesick, dreaming about Walden!

Yes, she and Walden were childhood sweethearts, grew up together, and were engaged to be married,

just waiting for the right time to

tie the knot and have kids!

And what about him, Elgin?

He was just someone who barged into her life, completely messed up her planned trajectory!

Indeed, Letitia was dreaming

In her dream, she went back to her childhood

Those days were truly happy, she had loving parents, a harmonious family, she was the pampered only

child, going to and from school with the little master from the Sullivan family next door, doing homework

together, flying kites in spring.

The adults would always tell her, she was meant to marry Walden when she grew up

Letitia didn’t know what marnage meant, so she went to ask Walden.

Walden, two years her senior with the air of a little adult, said, “Marrying me is a good thing, you can

have ice cream every day!”

“Really?”

“Of course! I’ll buy it for you every day!”

“Yay, Walden, I want to marry you!”

Such a beautiful memory, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Only in unfortunate times do people realize how hard-won those happy days were

In the midst of deep sleep, suddenly, a strong force lifted Letitia right off the bed.

Startled awake, she opened her eyes wide to the man in front of her

“Elgin…

Letitia was utterly disoriented, blinking and sitting stiffly on the bed, her mind still not catching up.

Why was Elgin here?

She had just been dreaming. Right, only in dreams could she be that free and happy.

As she was thinking, Elgin’s deep voice came through. “What did you dream about? Huh?”

“L.. nothing”

“Laughing so happily in your dream, must’ve been a good one, Elgin said mockingly. “Was it annoying

to be woken up like that?”

Letitia eyed her, “When did you show up?”

Why on earth is he here instead of sleeping at this ungodly hour?

Good thing she stashed those eavesdropping earbuds away Otherwise, if Elgin had caught a glimpse,

she’d be in a lot of trouble!

Can’t come over? Elgin lifted her chin with his hand, yanking her closer, “Letitia, what gives you the

right to sleep like a log and even

sweet dreams?”

we the right to dream??

He leaned in, he breath heavy on her face. Yet you were calling out Walden’s name in your sleep!
