Chapter 1691 Playing Both Sides?

Sally raised her hand and patted the back of Elijah's hand.

Elijah laughed, then continued, "Sally, I didn't marry you to turn you into a Mrs. Patterson like those in the Patterson family. I married you, hoping you could be more carefree and unrestricted. You can still post your beautiful photos on social media and say what you want, just like before."

Tears welled up in Sally's eyes as she looked at Elijah. "But I want a chocolate milkshake!"

Elijah's smile remained gentle. "That's not allowed."

Sally used to neglect her health. She was physically weak, and Elijah was helping her get better. She especially liked cold food.

But every time her period came, she would be in so much pain that she would roll on the floor.

After they got married, the only things Elijah forbade Sally to do were to eat cold food and stay up late. "Hmph!" Sally responded, not surprised by his answer.

She grabbed Elijah's fingers and huffed. "Let's go back. It's too hot out here!"

As she turned around, her face was filled with a radiant smile.

Meanwhile, the discussion about Elijah was still ongoing.

Netizen 1: [Somebody tells me why he suddenly left the monastery at 23? I'm so curious. I want to know!]

Netizen 2: [What else could it be? He probably violated the rules and got kicked out!]

Netizen 3: [Some people are just too hateful. I've seen you subtly attacking Mr. Patterson in several places. Did he do something to you?]

Just as the online arguments were about to flare up again, a well-known gossip account suddenly posted.

[Just found out from a reliable source that Ms. Campbell's father had initially planned for Ms. Campbell to marry Mr. Patterson's nephew! And now, almost a decade later, the man who almost became her husband has become her nephew-in-law!]

As soon as this news came out, the internet buzzed like a beehive.

Netizen 4: [I thought it was a pure love story, but it turns out to be a forbidden love!]

Netizen 5: [Is this for real? Are the rumors getting this outrageous now?]

The person who leaked the news then posted a screenshot of a chat with someone else. The other person's profile picture was cropped out.

The person in the screenshot said: [Elijah fell in love with Sally at first sight when she met with her nephew at her home. To my knowledge, that's how the engagement was broken off. The following year, Elijah left the monastery. I don't know how he ended up with Sally, who was still with her boyfriend Gideon then, but now they're married!]

The person in the screenshot used a few words, but each sentence was sharp.

After the screenshot was posted, it sparked a new round of discussions.

Netizen 6: [Wait, so while Sally was involved with Gideon, she also saw someone else? Why blame Gideon, then? They were both cheating, right?]

Netizen 7: [If this revelation is true, it's shocking! A monk with a wandering heart stealing his nephew's fiancée?]

Netizen 8: [Hold on! I'm so confused. How did she become the nephew's fiancée? Wasn't she dating Gideon at that time? So she's been two-timing all along?]

Netizen 9: [Cheating with one guy is just what we know about. Who knows how many men there are that we don't know about? Maybe her sister didn't frame her and couldn't replace solid evidence, so she set a trap instead!]

The accusations against Sally and Elijah online were getting more and more numerous.

The malicious speculations about them were also increasing.

It had reached a point where it was almost impossible to control.

Some even started a hashtag: "Heartbroken for Gideon".

The next morning, Sally went online and posted a clarification.
