Chapter 227 Come To Find Her
Her relationship with Elliot was so stiff, so naturally it was better for them not to meet for the time being.
Thus they wouldn't embarrass each other in front of so many people.
Although she thought like this rationally and knew that he would not appear, she was still upset in heart.
After all, she deliberately asked Sophia to call Elliot, which meant that she had realized her mistake and wanted to apologize. Elliot was so smart and he would understand.
But he still refused to come.
This showed that he didn't want to forgive her, or he was still angry with her.
Thinking of this, Lara laughed at herself and felt more depressed and disappointed.
"Lara!"
At this moment, a surprised voice sounded.
She looked up and saw a beautifully dressed girl trotting towards her while raising the hem of her dress.
She was taken aback, and it took a long time for her to recognize the girl.
"Lola? Your face... What happened?"
Lola lowered her head slightly with a guilty conscience, "Lara, don't speak so loudly. I received a plastic surgery aboard not long ago. This is the super beautiful and delicate face. What do you think? Am I pretty?"
Lara was speechless.
Looking at Lola's chin which could almost pierce people to death and her horribly big eyes, she opened her mouth in embarrassment.
"Yeah..."
"Hey, I knew it. I'm so good-looking."
As she said this, she held Lara's arm and smiled, "Lara, I'm sorry. I couldn't go out to meet others because I was still recovering a few days ago, and I didn't congratulate you when you married Mr. Duncan. Now I want to make it up for you. Happy Marriage!"
Hearing this, Lara's faint smile immediately disappeared.
She said blandly, "Thank you."
Lola didn't notice that her expression was abnormal. She looked around and didn't see Elliot, so she asked, "Huh? Where's Mr. Duncan? Didn't he come here with you today?"
"No, he has something to deal with in the company and can't come."
"Oh! I knew that men would be different after they got married. Before you married him, he followed you everywhere you went. Now you two have just got married, but he doesn't even accompany you on such an important occasion. How bad he is!"
Lara's face stiffened, and the anger in her heart was about to overflow.
She pulled out her arm which was held by Lola, and said coldly, "Alright, I have something else to do. Go and play by yourself. I won't accompany you anymore."
After that, she hurriedly walked in the direction of Alvin alone.
Being ignored by her all of a sudden, Lola stood there in a daze, and did not react after a long while.
But at this moment, a man's joyful voice suddenly came from the door.
"Mr. Duncan, long time no see. I'm so pleasantly surprised to see you here today!"
Lara's back froze.
She turned around in disbelief. The man who was coming in from the door and being hugged by a middle-aged man was just Elliot!
He was wearing a white suit and still looked elegant. Under the lights, his handsome face looked like that of a charming prince in the Middle Ages.
She felt that her heart was beating so fast uncontrollably.
She thought, "Elliot, are you here?"
"Are you here for me?"
"I knew that you love me and care about me in your heart/"
"You just said those words that day because you were mad!"
After all, Elliot had been spoiled since he was a child, and it was reasonable for him to say such words when he was furious.
She didn't blame him, really!
Lara felt that her eyes were a little sour and even hot. Teas ran down her cheeks.
She immediately turned around and wiped her face quickly with a handkerchief.
But no matter how fast her movements were, Lola, who was not far from her, saw it.
She glanced at Elliot, and then looked at Lara, and finally realized something.
Feeling a little worried, she walked to Lara and asked in a low voice, "Lara, did you... quarrel with Mr. Duncan?"
Lara wiped her tears and put on a serious face, "No, don't talk nonsense."
"Okay! If you refuse to tell me the truth, forget it. But since Mr. Duncan has come here, he must know that he was wrong and he is going to apologize to you! Lovers' quarrels are soon mended. Don't be angry anymore when he says sorry to you, okay?"
Lola felt that Lara was good but she was too proud.
It was not easy for her to snare such a rich husband like Elliot. If they had a good relationship, maybe she could get some benefits as Lara's cousin.
Therefore, she didn't want Lara to completely offend Elliot just because she was arrogant and willful.
Lara had known Lola for so many years, so how could she not know Lola's selfishness and thoughts?
She smiled mockingly, but didn't say anything and agreed with her in heart.
Indeed, if they quarrelled, as long as one of them was willing to give an out, the other would definitely use this chance to apology if he was not stupid.
Who would embarrass each other on purpose?
Lara took a deep breath, feeling that the depression that had been lingering in her heart for several days finally dissipated a little.
She was thinking about what kind of attitude she should use to face Elliot if he came to find her later.
She wanted to say something to show that she was still angry with him but not very mad, because she didn't want him to really leave her and break up with her.
She couldn't forgive him completely, because that would make her easy to coax.
Thus he would thought that she loved her so much and would hurt her casually if they quarreled again in the future.
Therefore, she must behave properly. She couldn't go too far, nor forgive him so esaily.
While Lara was thinking like this, she saw that Elliot had finished talking with that man and then turned around to look at her.
Lara was stunned, and she felt that her heartbeat was about to stop at that moment.
She pursed her lips tightly, took a deep breath and tightened her body. She saw that he hesitated for a short while, and finally walked towards her.
Lara burst into tears with excitement.
He really came to find her!
This b*stard!
Why did he say such harsh words that day?
Didn't he know that he would let her down although that was just his angry outburst?
Why couldn't he tolerate and spoil her more?
After all, she had been with him for five years!
Lara had an urge to cry, but she held it back because of the occasion.
She thought that she would forgive him as long as he was willing to admit his mistake!
In the future, she would never keep up with the Joneses and frame others. As long as he could love her wholeheartedly and stay with her, she would not ask for anything else.
People would never know how important something was to them until they were about to lose it.
