Chapter 595

Eliana, why do you have to be so cruel to me? What did I ever do to you?”

Jonathan took a deep breath to collect himself as he struggled to school his features into a gentleexpression.

He had to be careful when he interacted with Eliana. Once he revealed his temper to her, she would beencouraged to stay vigilant and stay away from him.

“After everything you’ve done, you expect me to talk to you as if nothing happened?” Eliana shot back.

“Are you referring to the kidnapping?” Jonathan decided to show her a sliver of vulnerability. “I did all ofthat to see you. You’ve been hiding from me,” he explained.

Eliana kept quiet as she listened. He wasn’t wrong about that.

The truth was, she had been avoiding him.

However, the children were her top priority. He shouldn’t have endangered the children because ofwhat happened between them.

“Eliana, I didn’t mean to hurt you or the kids. I was only afraid that our relationship had changed. Iwanted to go after the man who took the children. But, I found out that Maurice was holding him,”Jonathan stated apologetically, sounding sincere.

Eliana observed him with a cautious expression on her face. She couldn’t decide if he was telling thetruth or not.

“We’ve known each other for over five years, and I’ve done so much for you. How could I ever doanything to hurt you on purpose?”

Jonathan’s words sounded so sincere that Eliana couldn’t replace any fault in them.

Because he took the initiative to show his weakness, the tense atmosphere between the two slowlyeased.

His words reminded Eliana of their shared past.

If it weren’t for Jonathan, she and her children would’ve perished at sea five years ago.

Since then, he’d been helping her. His generosity allowed her to raise her children safely abroad.

Although he was a possessive man who wanted to control everything, Eliana couldn’t ignore that hehad been good to them. He’d always been close to the kids.

Eliana was ashamed when she remembered what they’d gone through together.

He’d helped her so much in the past, and she felt ungrateful for it.

“Jonathan, I don’t understand. We weren’t related, and we weren’t friends either. Why did you help meall those years ago?”

This question had intrigued Eliana for years, and she only mustered up enough courage to ask now.

Jonathan didn’t say anything in response. He stared at her with a sad look on his face.

He looked like he was searching for something in her eyes or imagining a familiar face.

“It’s because I like you.”

“You like me?”

Eliana didn’t know whether he was telling the truth, but she couldn’t accept his confession.

Someone else captured her heart.

“I appreciate everything you’ve done to help over the years, but I can’t accept you. I’m sorry. Withoutyou, we could’ve died. Please don’t confuse my gratitude with love. I have no feelings for you. We can’tbe together.”

“Is it because of Maurice?” Jonathan was determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

Eliana lowered her head and didn’t say anything more. Jonathan assumed that his assumption wascorrect.

“Eliana?” Jonathan couldn’t help but take a step closer to her. “I hope that you reconsider yourrelationship with Maurice. You’ve been through after you came back. Please don’t forget that all thatsuffering was because of him! I hope you think it over. Once you choose to be with Maurice, this willkeep happening.”

Eliana was rendered speechless over his words. She knew what he said was true.

“If you choose to be with me, things can be different. You’ll never have to face those situations. Eliana,please consider my offer,” Jonathan said humbly.

Eliana didn’t have the heart to reject him a second time, so she only sighed in reply.

“I’m sorry, Jonathan.”

Jonathan was stunned by her answer and laughed at himself.

“There’s no rush, Eliana. One day, I’ll prove to you that I’m more worthy than Maurice. You’ll changeyour mind when that day comes.”

When Eliana looked away from him, a terrifying glint flashed through Jonathan’s eyes.
