Chapter 46: Heart in Chaos

Soon, Elisa realized what it was and immediately took several steps back. Inadvertently, her movements touched Simon's body, almost causing him to collapse.

"Don't move!" He growled lowly, stiffening his body.

Elisa thought that Hillary was outside and wondered why he had to endure this here. But she didn't dare move her body. What if he couldn't control himself? She still had a baby in her belly.

This wasn't a solution either. Simon quickly grabbed a towel from the side and wrapped Elisa up while Hillary was still in the bedroom. He then pushed her out of the hotel room.

"You're responsible for taking her away."

After quickly telling David outside the door, Simon slammed it shut with a bang.

The towel covered Elisa's entire body except for a wet head sticking out of it.

"David, do you have any dry clothes?" Elisa blinked at him.

"Cough...I don't have any on me but I'll have someone bring you some clothes later, Madam. You can go next door to tidy up first," David said as he led her towards another room using his card key.

Simon didn't return until late at night around eleven o'clock.

Elisa hadn’t slept yet and was eating supper made by Diana in the living room. Since becoming pregnant, she seemed unable to stop vomiting which meant she couldn’t eat enough food no matter how much she tried.

While they were discussing about the US stock market circuit breaker mechanism being triggered earlier that day when Simon walked into the house looking exhausted.

Seeing them chatting happily together made him frown slightly; his mother seemed very fond of this woman even cooking dumplings for her personally.

"Why are you so late today? Don’t you know that coming home early would be better so that you could spend more time with your wife? What did you go out for?" Diana scolded him.

Elisa knew the reason why he came back late today. She had a look of "I know" on her face. This woman must think that she and her sister were entangled all day!

"It was the shareholders' meeting today, so I've been busy since noon until now. Did you forget, Mom?" Simon didn't want to be misunderstood.

Diana then remembered and planned to ask how the meeting went but Simon had already gone upstairs to wash up.

"Hillary, Simon doesn't eat when he's busy. There are still dumplings here; take them up to him," Diana said as she knew her son best.

"Okay, I'll take them up now." Elisa obediently nodded and thought it was strange that Hillary wasn’t clinging onto Simon but instead let him return to work at his company.

Simon had just taken off his clothes preparing to go into the bathroom when Elisa barged in directly putting his clothes back on again.

"What are you doing here?" He asked displeasedly.

"Diana said that you probably haven't eaten yet so she asked me to bring some dumplings over for you."

Elisa put down the food and wondered why he was staring at her so vigilantly? Could it be that he thought she would do something else?

Although she was wearing long sleeves and pants which covered everything properly, Simon could still recall what happened earlier in the bathroom where they both got wet...

It was really annoying.

Simon turned away from her with an unprecedented cold tone: "Since you brought me food, you can leave now. Also starting from today we will sleep separately in different rooms; don't step into my room again."

Elisa felt like he was being unreasonable. The one who should have slept alone is him! Now that they're sleeping separately it's like she had some kind of plague and he was avoiding her.

"Fine by me!" Elisa didn't want to argue with him so she went to the room that Diana arranged for her.

However, when she lay down on the new bed, Elisa thought it through. Simon loved Hillary; living in the same room as her was just a way of getting back at her. Now that he has gotten his revenge, he naturally wouldn’t want to live with her anymore...

Elisa slowly fell asleep while thinking about this.

But in the middle of the night, she felt hot all over and realized that someone was pressing against her body. The man's heavy breathing seduced every nerve in Elisa's body: "I will take responsibility for you..."
