His Dangerous Love

Chapter 25 Her Fiancé's Doubts

Chapter 25 Her Fiancé's Doubts

Elianna bit her lip upon hearing Asher's voice, fearing that he would detect even the slightest noise.

She had endured so much, but now Jefferson wanted her to welcome Asher?

Why not just give her a microphone for a public performance?

Her heart seethed with hatred, but she dared not reveal a trace on her face, only pleading with her eyes.

Unfortunately, Jefferson was never one for mercy.

His smile turned wicked.

And just as he was about to summon Asher, Elianna kissed him.

Like winding vines, her arms wrapped around his strong neck, fingertips caressing his tense muscles, conveying a sense of desperate desire to please him.

Raising an eyebrow, Jefferson accepted her passive plea, diverting his full attention to this love affair.

Elianna clenched her teeth to stifle any sound, hoping that Jefferson would abandon the "revenge".

Seeing her intentions, Jefferson leaned down to whisper softly in her ear, "The door is unlocked."

Elianna froze.

At the same time, the knocking continued, accompanied by Asher's inquiry, "May I come in?"

With each slight turn of the doorknob, Elianna's heart raced, sending shivers down her spine.

Jefferson frowned. "Don't be so tense."

"Jeff..." Her eyes turned red, pleading.

A tingling sensation shot through Jefferson's lower back. Her words, spoken so intimately, were like sweety poison!

His face darkened with a predatory glint in his eyes, causing Elianna to panic.

"You don't want him to enter?" Jefferson's voice dropped.

Elianna nodded vigorously.

"Then let's make some noise."

At that very moment, Asher, still probing, pushed the door. "Jeff? Are you here?"

No one answered.

But as he opened the door, he was met with intense sounds.

Asher stood still for a few seconds, realizing what Jefferson was up to, and fearfully retreated.

"I'm sorry, I'll leave now!"

Amidst the panic, curiosity sparked within him.

Who could capture Jefferson's attention?

But he didn't dare to look; he could only speculate in his mind.

Just as the door closed, he heard a cry of pain.

Its lingering tone twisted like a hook, sending a shiver down his spine.

Moreover, the voice sounded familiar.

Before he could figure it out, the door locked.

Asher furrowed his brow, staring at the door.

Why did it sound so much like Elianna?

Shaking his head, he dismissed such absurd thoughts.

Elianna and Jefferson were worlds apart!

Besides, Jefferson had countless women, so why would he be interested in someone as unremarkable as Elianna?

Yet, doubt lingered in Asher's mind.

Upon returning to the banquet hall, he couldn't help but ask about Elianna.

"Mom, have you seen Elianna?"

"Elianna?" Joyce suddenly remembered the existence of her daughter-in-law.

Her tone carried a hint of resentment as she glanced at Alicia nearby.

"How would I know where she went? She has no sense of propriety!" she continued, "A proper daughter-in-law should take care of her mother-in-law at a banquet. But now, she hides away on her own! Just look at Alicia-she's a true lady from a respectable family..."

Distraction clouded Asher's mind as he listened absentmindedly.

"Could it be... was it really her up there? How is that possible?" he mumbled.

Confused, Joyce asked, "What did you say?"

Asher replied quickly. "Nothing, I'll go check over there."

Noticing his wandering mind, Joyce grew even more dissatisfied, considering Elianna a troublesome woman!

Looking at Alicia, who was surrounded by admirers, she couldn't help but feel regretful.
