Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) -
Chapter 646 She Wants to Go
Yelena's crying stopped abruptly.
"But don't overthink it.I have no intention of taking advantage of your vulnerability. It's just that I like you, and I don't want to watch you give up on yourself like this.I just want to tell you that there are so many people who like you, so why can't you let him go?"
"Who is this gentleman? Why didn't you greet me when you came?"
A familiar voice came from behind the garden and Slevin sauntered out with a smile.
"I apologize for the poor hospitality."
"Are you Slevin?"
As Fredrick looked at the grinning man standing before him, he couldn't help but feel that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
However, deep down, he knew the reason behind such a feeling. He possessed a face that seemed kind and gentlemanly, which explained why Yelena fell for him so easily.
"Yes, that would be me. What's your name, sir?"
"Federick Seanzy."
Slevin's eyes flashed when he heard the name.
"Oh, so you're the young master of the Seanzy Family."
He really didn't expect that Yelena would know the son of the Seanzy Family. Not only that but judging from the conversation he overheard, this Federick guy liked her. Didn't this mean he had more competitors?
"Not to be rude, but may I ask, why did you bring her here?"
Although Federick's voice was polite, the underlying tone of his voice was impatient.
Slevin stood not too far away and responded cheerily, "No reason in particular.It was just to answer some questions she had."
Federick questioned again, "Then, how did you come to know her?"
He believed that Yelena had never seen this man before.
Yet, the man knew her name and face and even approached her with ulterior motives.
There was no way he didn't come here with a goal in mind.
"It's not hard to get to know people. Besides, Mr.Seanzy, since you already know my name, you should probably know who I am." Federick didn't hesitate and replied, "You're from the Damazio Family, right?"
The man retorted, "lam! But I'm also ashamed to admit that I'm not a legitimate child of the Damazio Family."
Federick looked at him coldly.
"I know."
Slevin was stunned; he didn't expect Federick to know such a private matter.
"Well, since you are in the know, then I see no need in discussing this further."
Regardless, Federick desperately wanted an answer from Slevin.
"So, why did you bring her here?"
Yelena was standing nearby, so as long as he told her the truth, she would be able to dispel any inappropriate thoughts she had.
"It's very simple. The person I really like is Yelena. Unfortunately, I had to push her away because of my illness.I just don't want our relationship to end in tragedy."
Slevin repeated what he had told Yelena before.
Federick's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he muttered, "Please tell me the truth."
Slevin was shocked, his mouth agape.
"Truth? What truth? I am telling you the truth."
When he saw that Federick was still upset, Slevin joked, "Actually, I accidentally overheard your conversation earlier.novelebook.com Mr.Seanzy, I know that you like Yelena, but the person in Yelena's heart is my younger brother. So, heed my advice and don't do something rash."
At this rate, Federick didn't want to bother wasting his time with someone like Slevin.
Thus, he turned to look at Yelena, "Well, do you trust his words or mine?"
Caught in the dilemma, Yelena looked at the two men repeatedly, not knowing what to say.
"I have no idea."
When Federick heard her reply, his lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"It's all right. I'll go."
After that, he turned and left without another word. She looked at his retreating figure and chased after him.
Yet, she soon realized that he was walking way too fast, as if he wanted to get rid of her, so she gradually halted in her tracks.
In the end, she stood there helplessly as she watched Federick's figure disappear from her line of sight.
"What's wrong? Does it hurt to watch him leave?"
Slevin's sly, teasing voice came from behind her.
Yelena turned her head to look at him.
For some reason, annoyance washed over her the instant she laid her sight on his figure.
"That's none of your business." He chuckled.
"Yo, you still have quite a temper on you, don't you?"
Yelena furiously retorted, "What does that have to do with you?!"
Slevin shrugged, expressing his confusion.
"You said you liked my younger brother, so why do you care about another man's feelings?"
When Yelena heard that, she suddenly didn't know how to answer.
"I don't care about other men's feelings, but that man is my friend." He laughed aloud.
"Friend? I wasn't aware that you're that bold to befriend a man who clearly fancies you."She cried out, "I didn't!"
Then, her voice slowly went quiet.
"I only found out he liked me today."
Slevin noticed her aggrieved look and didn't want to embarrass her further.
"All right, I'm just pulling your leg.Look at you. Why are you crying?"
Yelena wiped her tears away.
She didn't want to speak to the man in front of her anymore. She felt like she should apologize to Federick.
Hence, she said through gritted teeth, "If there's nothing else, I'll go first."
Slevin suddenly moved in front of her, blocking her path.
"Why are you leaving? Don't you want to return to the country to see Hank?"
She sniffled as she mumbled, "But now is far from a great time to board a plane home, is it not? Damoria is currently plagued by the epidemic, so it wouldn't be safe to return. So, it's not possible for me to fly back."
A smug smile grew on Slevin's face.
"There isn't a place that I, Slevin Damazio, can't go."
Yelena scoffed, "What are you trying to say? Are you saying that you're bringing me back?"
He admitted without a single shred of hesitation, "Of course, I want to bring you back. After all, I don't want my lover to be away from me. However, I have no intention of forcing you into a corner. You have the right to reject my offer."
After a short pause, he said, "Oh, by the way, you don't have a lot of time to decide. I'm heading home this afternoon."
Yelena was suddenly caught between a rock and a hard place.
If she followed Slevin back now, Federick would be furious-even more furious than how he felt right now.
Yet, if she didn't, she would miss this chance forever.
She struggled to come to a decision, and when Slevin saw her hesitance, he quietly reminded her, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, my brother is dying. He could die anytime now."
When Yelena heard that, her mind was immediately made up as she readily agreed.
"Alright, I'll go back with you." Slevin was a little surprised.
"That was quick."
The woman snapped in irritation, "Stop spouting nonsense."
Although she sounded decisive, she still felt troubled and as for Federick... she would deal with him later.
